"I will probably never go back! I gave it a one star because the hostess was sweet. My daughter 's and I were seated on the patio (as we had requested) and were completely ignored for over 5 minutes. The waiter finally came and greeted us with, How are y 'all this evening? I was a little put off that it had taken him so long to even acknowledge our presence, but I replied, Pretty good. Thank you. After a very brief pause, he (sarcastically) replied, I 'm good too. Thanks for asking. I ordered our drinks and the table side guacamole. He acted somewhat irritated that we wanted him to make a guacamole for us, but went to get the ingredients. He brought the ingredients to the table and proceeded to prepare the guacamole for us. I attempted small talk with him while he was working, asking if he had made the fresh guacamole many times before. He commented that he had been a waiter there for 8 years and replied, Yes. Way too many times! As he was making it, I noticed he was trying to scoop something out of the mix with his spoon. He repeated it several times and I finally asked him what he was doing. He told me he was trying to get a hair out of the mix. He tried a couple more attempts to capture it with the spoon and finally gave up and went and got another set up to start over. When our dinners finally came, none of us had silverware. He acknowledged that and excused himself to go get us some. We sat looking at our plates of hot food for almost 5 minutes before I was finally able to catch the attention of another worker and requested they bring us silverware so we could eat. Needless to say, our food was not piping hot by the time we finally got to eat it. When our waiter did return, he had no silverware. The food was not that great and the service was snarky and slow. When we finally got the bill, he pointed out to me that we had been charged for two table-side guacamoles, but assured me that one of them had been comp 'd. Are you kidding me? That should never even have been a consideration to charge me for guacamole that had hair in it. It was an absolutely horrible experience. I left the restaurant feeling angry and, at the same time, wanting to cry because I was so upset."

"Located in a stand-alone building on the south side of Prince William Parkway, just a short drive from the I-95 intersection, this Mexican restaurant offers ample parking on both sides. The entrance, situated closest to the main road, features a long tin awning and a charming adobe-style façade that embodies the essence of a traditional Mexican eatery. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the host/hostess station and promptly shown to our table. To the right, there’s a bar, while the center and left of the restaurant are filled with tables and booths. The establishment was clean, and staff members promptly cleared away tables as soon as guests finished their meals. We visited during a heavy thunderstorm, which unfortunately exposed several leaks in the roof, requiring a few buckets to catch the water in our dining area. Despite the weather, our waitress was attentive, efficient, and checked on us frequently throughout our meal. The menu boasts an extensive selection of dishes, with prices ranging from $10 to $15 per person. As soon as we were seated, we were served complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. Our group ordered a variety of dishes, from tacos to fajitas, and the food arrived within about 10 to 15 minutes. Each dish appeared to be generously portioned and tasted fantastic. Overall, we had a delightful experience, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!"
