On 11/3/2025 Timothy Crabtree had this to say:
I ordered the steak enchiladas with guajillo sauce — and it was a game-changer. The dish came out sizzling hot, plated beautifully with just the right balance of color and aroma. The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned, not overpowered by salt or spice, but elevated by the rich, smoky depth of the guajillo sauce. That sauce — earthy, slightly tangy, and layered with just enough heat — tied everything together like a culinary signature move. The handmade tortillas soaked up the sauce without falling apart, showing real craftsmanship in the kitchen. Every bite hit a harmony of textures — juicy steak, smooth sauce, a touch of crema, and that subtle char from the tortilla edges. Even the sides were on point: fluffy rice and slow-simmered beans that tasted like they’d been made from scratch that morning. If you’re looking for the real deal — not a Tex-Mex imitation — this spot delivers. Authentic flavor, uncompromising execution, and a guajillo sauce worth writing home about.

Good food! They have a very wide menu. I tried several dishes over a week in McLean, all were good. Try their Wings! Try their Ribs! Great draft beer too. A mark of how good this place is, was to see the number of families dining there, even celebrating birthdays. The staff are delightful and thoughtful.

Let me tell you me being a Latino from Los Angeles California. I came here for work and decided to try their Mexican food here. Their Mexican food is delicious. Their staff is very humble and welcoming and their drinks and the bar staff is amazing. I love their food and I will definitely come back here. The next time I’m in McLean Virginia. My wife is Mexican and I get home cooked meals every day and this food at the restaurant is delicious especially their drinks. Cómo te digo, la comida está deliciosa, te lo recomiendo. I highly recommend it’s What it means

You really get a bang for your buck - for 20$ I got a burrito, refried beans, rice, veggies and 2 fresh corn tortillas, not to mention the complimentary water and nachos with pico de gallo. Taste wise - the food was great and tortillas were soft and fresh. I highly recommend giving it a try.
