This is my favorite taco spot. If you want Tex-Mex or hard shell tacos - this is not the spot for you.Authentic tacos. My favorite tacos here are the cabeza (braised head meat), lengua (tongue), and al pastor. Flavorful, simple, delicious.

Amazing authentic tacos at this restaurant! Friend recommended the place and been going ever since. The tacos here are so delicious and very reasonably price for the quality they put into it. Highly recommend to check out if you in manassas!

My Mexican co-worker said this is THE place to get the foods we enjoyed in Texas. He wasnt lying. We ordered the Caldo Camaron which was fantastic and the chicken enchiladas with red sauce. Also, ordered nopalitos, cebollita chambray and the following tacos: lingua (tongue), tripa (intestines), al pastor, carnitas and asada. They give you a ton of limes, salsa, Pico de Gallo, onions and cilantro to go with it. Everything was phenomenal.

The best taco place in the DMV. When you walk in, go to the one on the right. The asada and al pastor tacos are amazing.

I live on Loudoun county and I drive the 30 min to come here for the tacos de suadero. They have great and delicious taco options but highly recommend suadero and lengua. Plenty of other great dishes such as gorditas, delicious soups and great tostadas. They also have a nice selection of breads and sweets. Not the prettiest place but food is very good. Just a heads up, this place gets very busy on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays but worth the wait. Check em out, you wont be disappointed.

I was introduced to this place by my Spanish friends, and Im so grateful that I did! I am not Hispanic so ordering the tacos is a little difficult but I found out a trick: I wrote down which tacos I wanted on a note pad on my phone, and the lady was able to type it the register with no problems! The food is awesome and packed with flavor. If you want some nice traditional tacos this is the place to go! My personal favorite is the Tripa, which is beef intestines thats fried to crisp, mixed with a few soft ones, perfect mix!

One of the most authentic Mexican places in Nova. It has amazing tacos and pupusas for an affordable price. They also have lots of other types of Hispanic food and offer a buffet, but I come here for the amazing tacos. If you enjoy a quiet meal youll likely want carryout since the inside is normally lively and packed with people, but even when its packed you dont have to wait long and its worth it anyways. Overall just try it out Im sure youll love it!

Best place to go for Hispanic food especially for the price point. They have so much food to offer and butcher and bakery. Place is usually busy but I have always found parking and somewhere to sit whenever I go; foood is boss and they give you plenty of food for the price. I drive 15 miles one way to get to this place, its worth it.

Review №19

Authentic Mexican tacos, tortas, tamales and soups. Its rair to find such a place considering the high amount of centra americans that live in the area and end up making so called Mexican food thier own way.Its not the most eye catching establishment but the food is tasty, portions are HUGE and customer service is good. I definitely recommend.

Yes, the wait is long sometimes but it is worth it. The food is always delicious. The tortas are huge. And they do not skimp on the meat.

Review №21

The parking lot gives you the impression you are no longer in VA. Once inside it was difficult to figure out where to go sit or order. Towards the back I ordered taco’s and sat at a very sticky table for two. The service was awful. The waitress told me I needed to be sat by them and annoyed that I was asking for drinks. The lady making tacos rolled her eyes when I asked for extra salsa. I ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos. Both had no flavor, bland, and greasy. I didn’t finish my tacos snd asked the cook for a to go box. She rolled her eyes again and gave me foil paper for my plate. I will never be back. The tacos were not good and don’t know how people claim the food is great

I celebrated my nomination this evening in this great place. happy to tell that we enjoyed a cool evening and the venue was certainly one of the reasons for that fruitful celebration. The crew collaborated in a very nice style, the food was delicious and my guests were extremely joyful. We shall surely visit again for more joyful events. thanks very much.

I went to the restaurant while waiting for my food I went to the restroom and it was locked when I asked they handed me a big water jug with a key and I think all restroom should be unlocked for customers always . Plus the long wait was disappointed plus when I called to make my order many times no one answered the phone. Im very disappointed in this place they should do better for the customer

Review №41

Locally owned and operated restaurant with authentic tacos. They were also very accommodating with me not speaking much Spanish.My chicken and el pastor tacos were pretty dry and i think they could have been more flavorful. However, my roommate got a Al Pastor torta that he liked, so perhaps I should give them another chance. I also tried a slice of their tres leches cake, and I didnt care for it. The fruit in it was pretty off-putting.

So e of the best Hispanic food Ive had in a while. Being a white guy it was slightly confusing when walking in plus there werent too many people that could speak English. All in all I knew what I liked and understand enough Spanish to make it work. I wish it wasnt so far from me but I will be going back. Everything was delicious.

Great tacos. Salsas were all at least medium to hot but good flavor. The carnitas are crispy and extremely flavorful. They ended up being the favorite taco but cabesa was a close second. Barbacoa was too spicy for my kids but I enjoyed it. Everything was great.In terms of atmosphere, it has a bare comes cafeteria like feel... with nicer wood tables. It was busy and most people not eating had on masks in different states of face coverage. Its a large space and you can keep your distance.There were baked sweets on one side plus non taco options from another counter (the pollo quesadilla was plain but very flavorful with crema and queso fresco).

Review №51

Best authentic Tacos Ive ever tasted. Youll forget Taco Bell and other Tex Mex restaurants once you eat the real deal. Make sure you understand the numbers in Spanish because these guys like to stick to their mother tongue. Both the truck outside and the restaurant serve delicious food thats cheap as well.

Ordered take out, the lady did not speak English. Thankfully I speak fluent Spanish, anyways I ordered sopes de chorizo. I was served a tortilla with only chorizo and queso, no other toppings such as lettuce or cream. I don’t know if that’s how they’re supposed to come but I would have liked all the toppings. I highly recommend their tortas they are very delicious.

Might be some of the best Latin American food in the Mid-Atlantic. Authentic taste with a wide variety of menu options. The Sunday buffet is a steal and even the the food truck outside is superior.p.s. dont go at night

I was called the police on for having my medical assistance dog with me. He is hipo allergenic due to the fact my allergies act up. Anyways the police arrived and told me ignorant people like her don’t know the difference between a normal dog and a trained service dog. I was also asked to leave after I paid for the food. How convenient.

Authentic pretty much says it all. Great tacos and the Sunday buffet is a must-do! Decor is a clumsy, eclectic effort, common to such eateries but, frankly, who cares? Go there for the food, not the scenery.

Try the taco truck also! I love tacos de lengua and they taste better when they make it in the taco truck. The tortas are delicious. I like going to the stand on the right side for the tacos. The tortas, I get them from the left side. You’ll understand once you walk in how the set up works.

Definitely one of the most authentic delicious Mexican restaurants in nova and I visit my family in Mexico every summer. Their chorizo torta is amazing and I especially recomend the horchata and tres leches cake. I don’t recommend getting the buffet on the weekends, the quality is much worse then the normal food that they serve and it is rediculously crowded. But if you order off menu you will not be disappointed!!
