El Fresco Tex-mex Grill - Chantilly

I stopped in here with my parents and kids for a late lunch after the Uvdar-Hazy Center. It was around 2pm on a Saturday and a steady stream of business flowed both before and after us. Order at the counter, get a buzzer, and then pick up your food at the counter. They have a salsa bar that also has jalapeño,onions,and limes. They have a few beers (corona, Dos Equis,modèlo) and margaritas too. Chips are complimentary. My mom and I both had the #10 lunch special-2 carne asada tacos with guacamole. The meat was tender and I liked the chunky guacamole. The tortillas were grilled which was a nice touch too. It came with rice and beans (pinto or black) too; all for $9.49. My dad had the enchiladas and seemed to enjoy them too. I appreciated the freshness and authentic flavors of our meals and would definitely recommend eating here!

Excellent Mexican food with fresh ingredients. We enjoy the Affordable specials. Highly recommend!

I went last night, delicious food and atmosphere and service. I loved the elote. The tacos were also delicious.

The food is tasty. I especially like the salsa bar. I get to go orders and it 's fast, clean and priced reasonably.

I was a little skeptical about this place because I was in search of a regular degular authentic Mexican restaurant. It seemed there weren't many/any ‍ in a close radius to that area. Soooo I gave it try based on the reviews here on Yelp...along with the pictures (thanks Yelp users! . Okay, so the outside caused me to rub my hands together like Birdman (google for full visual , in complete anticipation of the food. The patio was inviting with nice colors and ample tables. Upon waking inside, the establishment offered signage that stated Happy Hour was is from 2pm-6pm. The staff was very friendly and helpful The young lady that took my order was very knowledgeable when I told her my food preferences. She gave a great recommendation! I started with queso and chips.. There's a separate counter that holds a salsa bar (pico, mild, medium, verde, onions, and peppers for the complimentary chips or whatever else you would like to sauce up. I had Elote which was seasoned well and it had a good juicy crunch. The Shrimp Taco Platter came with black beans and rice. The tacos needed a little sauce, but that could've been me because I like my tacos dripping. The black beans and rice were flavorful and not dry . Although a different taste than authentic Mexican, I was happy the food wasn't dry and lacked flavor. I washed down my meal with a refreshing Frozen Peach Margarita. I will say if you in the area check it out for yourself. You can't beat the price, cleanliness, friendliness, and overall decent food.
