The food was great. The server was nice. The place was clean. There is nothing to complain. I had mojito, it was good. It made me drunk too. ☺️ Steak and chicken fajitas was delicious. It's a nice place to have a meal with friends...Read More

I've been to all locations of Los Cuates restaurant chain, and always satisfied with their food and great service. The environment is amazing and staff is very quick and always gets the food quickly. Highly recommended.

Partook of the most amazing soup I've had in a long while, perfect for these winter temps! Their Arracheras Molcajetes is nothing short of phenomenal. The wonderful souls who keep this amazing place running are as enrapturing as the dishes. Everyone is warm and inviting...Read More

Very good! Being adventurous, I ordered Arrecheras Molcajete with chicken without ever having had it before or even knowing what it was exactly. Molcajete is like large stone mortar and it comes out boiling hot and keeps the sauce boiling for several minutes after it...Read More

Great folks behind the bar and good food. Ceviche is excellent. Guacamole comes out very bland but if you ask them to spice it up they can make it really good. Skip the margaritas as they are almost $20 each for a good one and...Read More

The food was absolutely amazing! I tried several different tacos, and chicken was definitely the winner. They must use a delicious marinade on it because the flavor of the chicken itself was unbelievable! I highly recommend this place, and I intend to make the trip...Read More

This is BY FAR my favorite Mexican restaurant in Northern VA. Great staff, GREAT and always fresh salsa and guacamole. Favorite dishes are the Chile relleno, taquitos and they have a really good quesadilla. And their skinny, spicy margarita is second to none. Try this place!
