Everything was delicious! I highly recommend the appetizer sampler, everything was good and you can eat a little bit of everything. I also ordered a frozen Passion Fruit Margarita which was great!

Excellent food. Warm tortilla chips and delicious salsa. Carne asada was a generous steak and warm butter sauce. Yum!

Best Mexican joint in Falls Church (though Guapos ain't bad). The menu, service, speedy, and ambiance are second to none. Genuinely a family vibe when you walk in here. The sampler, mariscada, pollo saltado, and steak fajitas make deciding a tough choice! That said, we miss some of the old staff, but recognize we all have lives and move on at some point!

Very nice, cozy and cheerful place. I loved the ambiance. All of the staff, even those who do not speak English, are very friendly and show kind demeanor while serving the customers. Tonight was very busy, they had a lot of customers but the food came very well. The food tastes yummy, and the portion is big I think the sizzling fajitas is a famous dish because I saw many people ordered it. I had sizzling fajita beef, and my friends had the same dish, but some got it with seafood, and others got it as a mix of chicken and see food. Everything was amazing. It was such a lovely night.
