My family has been going here for years. Not sure what has changed but I would not recommend this place to anyone now. There were 3 adults at our recent dinner and while the food was good, everything else was miserable.When the hostess finally came out, we had been waiting so long to notice it was hot and humid inside the entrance. We specifically asked if the AC was working and if it was - please seat us in a conditioned area.We were seated in a booth where the overhead AC unit had filled up the towel and was leaking on to my mother so we moved ourselves over one booth as nobody was around to help us.When pointing out the constant dripping off water at the original table and it was still miserably hot and humid - no apologies, just an acknowledgement that we changed tables.The server was very nice, but seems as if he was immune to similar complaints. One of the utensils was filthy and was replaced. While sitting in the hot and humid restaurant, the food took forever to get to the table. We all 3 ordered off the menu without any substitutions - generic Latin food and we waited in the heat and humidity forever.The one positive is that the food was as good as it has been in the past... just took longer than usual to get to us while we were sweating at the table.This has been one of our favorite places to eat in the past 5 years. Not sure what happened, but I can't recommend it now to anyone. DavidJustDavid, I am very sorry to hear about your recent poor experience with us. I apologize for the leaking AC unit and that the uncomfortable temperature made your evening less enjoyable. I am sorry to hear that your service was not up to our usual standards. These issues are uncharacteristic of our restaurant and do not reflect what we have to offer. I hope that we will get a second to leave you with a better experience! Best, Renu P. (Chef / Owner)

This unassuming exterior hides a charming cozy place inside. The bartender is friendly and actually brings your drink himself along with noting any request he couldnt fill for "next time" - amazing! The service is warm and prompt. And the food is excellent! The complimentary chips and salsa are not an overwhelmingly big basket but just enough till the entree shows up. The Sedona salad was fresh and piquant and the churros were warm little logs with the most amazing dipping sauces! Speaking of sauces, they make their own house made chipotle sauce which we ended up buying a bottle fo to take home - it was that good! The chipotle had heat but not the kind that takes the roof off your mouth. The entire experience was pleasant and warm, the service was just impeccable, with gentle suggestions and prompts. And the prices are so reasonable you feel like slapping your head and thinking why was I not here before? Loved it and will be back!

This is a Mexican restaurant that has been around forever but we simply never visited until now. Now we regret time lost and are trying to make up for it by visiting on any excuse. They have fun t-shirts for sale at check-in, and the dining area has a mixture of booths and tables. It welcomes George Mason U students, and the prices are extremely reasonable. The food is delicious, the service is super, you can easily spend a few hours here enjoying good company and good food.
