Very tasty & fresh Mexican food and good selection of drinks!! The music and vibe was also amazing. The venue is also nice and offers outside sitting. We enjoyed our fajitas, tacos, and margaritas and will be back soon!!!

Ordered from here for the first time (Uber Eats) and it’s our new favorite Mexican spot! Everything was fresh and the packaging for the tacos was nothing spilled, messy, or soggy. Chips and salsa are some of the best we’ve had in the Alexandria area. Hubby had tacos and I had a steak burrito. Portions are generous. We’re looking forward to dining in person next time.

First time going here and this place has some bomb tacos. I got the Bulgogi, Birria, and Pork Belly and those had such amazing flavors! My friend had me try their queso and that is definitely a must-get for me next time! Their margaritas are pretty awesome. I got the Smoky and if you’re trying to get drunk fast, I’d get that Vibe was great and chill!

Literally so good! Food was so flavorful. We tried a lot of different things and they were all amazing. Drinks were delicious as well. So glad we found this place!

I eat here often because of convenience- the food is usually ok, service is slow, and the latest order was essentially an almost empty corn tortilla (supposed to be a taco).

This is in Alexandria and was expecting a much higher price for a dinner but to my surprise, it was really really affordable. Great food! First Mexican place I’ve eaten where they have my favorite “plantain”. Great location. Parking might be limited but since we walked from the hotel, I really wasn’t able to give it much attention. Felt safe walking around though

I was surprised how good this place was. Wife found it on yelp and we tried it on a kid free date night. Tacos were very good (especially the bulgogi one) and atmosphere was perfect for a Mexican restaurant. Be mindful of when to go though, as it fills up quickly. Wife also loved the blueberry margaritas.

Somethin’ Sweet
Some of the best gluten free veggies tacos I’ve had in Northerm VA – both the cauliflower and sweet potato tacos were loaded with flavor. My parenter got a variety of meat tacos, and he loved them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

I love coming here!! And I love the restaurant group entirely, VERY high quality food and drinks. You can tell that Chef puts a little extra love in every dish. Thanks for excellent service from all staff in general and for Eric being kind and treating me like part of the crew. Chantel was my bartender today and she was great! Super busy but still maintained her composure. Literally anything you order on the menu will be great so don’t be shy when picking starters, tacos, bowls or fajitas. They have the best tequila, margaritas, and caipirinhas!
