"The rest of our order, in addition to the brisket, was equally disappointing. The food was not warm, and there was hardly anything for the price we paid for family-style dining. The manager refused to correct anything besides providing that one dry slice of brisket, which he considered a fix for the chopped brisket I didn’t order. We also experienced missing sides, and what we did receive was cold and lacked flavor. My family is from Texas and used to love Dickey's, but this experience was a letdown. If you want subpar BBQ that doesn’t match your order and leave your family unsatisfied, then visit the Dickey's in Fair Oaks. Also, take a look at the photos—the so-called 'large' order of okra was underwhelming. Typically, a large order is full, crispy, and warm, but my son's small order of okra had more pieces than the large one. We work hard for our money, and we expect to receive what we ordered and paid for! Anyone who values their hard-earned money and enjoys dining out can relate to this review. It's disheartening to see some businesses operate this way. If you want quality BBQ and an accurate order, head to Mission BBQ. The service and staff genuinely care about your experience, and the food is delicious. Avoid Dickey's at Fair Oaks in Fairfax, VA—it's a nightmare of terrible food, poor service, and inadequate management. Also, for the record, we ordered BBQ sliced chicken, spicy sausage, one dry rib (which wasn’t enough for the price), pulled pork, and half a pound of sliced brisket, plus Texas toast (which we never received—talk about false advertisement). The food was cold, the sliced chicken had no sauce, and the sausage was dry. #BOYCOTTDICKEYSFAIROAKSMALL"

"I 'm a BBQ guy, so my expectation is high, especially on a reopened place like this. I really want this place to make it. I revisited Dickey 's on Beltline in Irving after seeing a positive review. Some suggestions to the new owner on the food side. Decide if you 're going to slice or chop the brisket. Halfway in-between isn 't good either way. I suggest you offer both and have the cutter ask which way customers want it*. The taste of the brisket (the only meat I tried) is OK, but it needs more smoke taste and smell. It was tender and lean, that 's a good thing. Serve full size Onion rings not those 'tangler ' things. They tend to burn half the order. On the service side: *Turn down the radio! I know you want to create excitement but if the mild manored cutter can 't hear you, it doesn 't work. The cutter saying Onion rings are available but aren 't on the menu is a bummer. After saying YES on availability, he had to ask the assistant. All employees should know the menu, especially the guy taking the orders. Don 't have the cutter try to up-sale customers. If I only want one vegetable (Onion rings), I should be able to order that. By employing a middle eastern guy you may get an employee (cutter) but it doesn 't get you a guy people can understand. Last, $8.25 seems expensive for just a brisket sandwich only, but time and Supply Demand will tell.. Hope this is constructive. Irving needs BBQ. Good luck."

"I've visited Gringos and Mariachis about four times now—three times for happy hour and once for dinner—and I've consistently had a great experience! Highlights include $6 drinks during happy hour from 3 to 6 pm on weekdays, $6 appetizers (my favorite are the Sopes), delicious ceviche and the Torta de Milanesa for dinner, a great selection of mixed drinks, and some good beers on tap (I usually stick to a classic Blue Moon). My favorite part of the restaurant is definitely the vibe. Inside, it's romantic and lively, perfect for a date night, while the patio offers a more casual and friendly atmosphere, great for chatting and relaxing. The music is fantastic, featuring lots of Bad Bunny and some throwbacks. If you're coming for happy hour, I recommend sitting outside; if you're out for a date, the inside is the way to go! The service has always been excellent, with servers checking in frequently. Just yesterday, I tried dinner for the first time and was blown away by the Chicken Milanesa Torta. It’s a traditional Mexican sandwich you don’t find everywhere, and the combination of black beans with the breaded chicken was the perfect way to end the evening. My only minor complaint is that the sandwich was served on the wrong bread—it’s traditionally made with bolillo or pan francés. Also, it was a bit pricey, but that’s typical for the DMV area. I’ll definitely be coming back to Gringos and Mariachis as often as possible to explore more from their menu!"
