The place is very dirty. I was there Saturday January 28th, 2022 and when I sat at the table, I took a napkin and try to clean the table, the napkin was black. I noticed that nobody cleans them at all yet they gave a grade ā€œAā€ Also the person preparing the wears no gloves and is sweating touching the tortillas to make the tacos. My daughter and I got really sick. I want to call Public Food Servicesā€™s to have them check it out. I am hoping that the owners see this message and do something about it. If they donā€™t clean the tables, they should at least provide wipes for people to clean them

Four of us stopped in Friday night and I was impressed. Warm chips and delicious cool salsa was quickly brought to our table and devoured. More was offered and accepted. The meals were all very good, flavorful and well prepared including a couple of tasty hamburgers served with a nice bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapeƱo. Our first visit here, definitely not our last! Much better than the local competitor on 15.

Delicious! I've been trying to find new restaurants in an effort to be adventurous. Since I went to Orange to get a COVID booster I figured I'd pick a place there that was off the beaten path. I ordered huevos rancheros and the sauces they put on top really upped the flavor value of the dish. The service was good and prices affordable. The decor is rather plain but other than that I was there for it. I recommend.

While in the area visiting the Madison estate, we came across this restaurant in the same location as a former lobster restaurant.

For a late lunch around 1:30PM, we were surprised to find no one else in the restaurant. However, after we were seated another three parties took other tables at around the same time.

The one waiter had his challenges dealing with all the tables at the same time, but he handled the pressure well and everyone seemed appreciative of his attentive service.

The food was good and the guacamole dip tasted great and seemed to be fresh made. But one enchilada was a bit

Wow, where do I begin. The service here is the best in Orange. The staff is phenomenal and the service is always in a timely manner. The waiters are extremely kind and they always enhance the dining experience. Now for the best part, the food. If you haven't dined here, the food speaks for itself. It can only be described as exceptional. Over the course of opening day, I'd say I've tried the vast majority of the food here, and I've never once been disappointed. The food is extremely fresh and reflects authentic style Mexican food perfectly. My mouth is watering as I'm writing

Hands down the best bang for your buck food joint in the neighborhood. Wide variety of food. Burgers, teriyaki, fried chicken, fried shrimp and fish fillet are among the best selections to choose from.

Great place to stop for some tacos. Best tacos de tripa anywhere hands down. Friendly staff really makes you feel welcomed. They also have a separate menu where you can order korean bbq plates, cheeseburger combo and other stuff if your not in the mood for tacos.
I would caution over long lines and a tight parking lot but the food is still worth it.

In town for a wedding and the search for food was tougher because of covid. We were hungry so we didn't want to go too far after the drive here. Some places we looked at were closed and others were poorly rated. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food was really good as well.

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Charlottesville/Orange/Culpeper area since it first opened. After our early dinner today the opinion has not changed! This is NOT a place where every sauce is the same and everything is just covered in cheese. Rather, each dish has it's own unique flavor, or perhaps multiple flavors. The ingredients are always fresh. Clearly, nothing is prepackaged, it's always made on site. The service is always friendly, and everything is clean. The bacon jalapeƱos are our favorite appetizer, and the chips with two unique salsas are always good

Skip. Came here for a casual dinner after a lovely girls day winery tour. It was nearly empty on Saturday night and now we know why.

Chips were stale, queso and salsa were 100 percent watered down.

My el pastor tacos with steak, chorizo, and grilled pineapple (supreme style) were fine. Friend got enchiladas, said they were fine. Our food came out so quick though it made us wonder, but we didn't complain because we got to leave sooner.

They give you free fried ice cream in exchange for a good review which is why I'm convinced they have so many stars. No amount of free fried ice

Salsa, chips, cheesy queso goodness. Perfect for when you're in the mood for a big portion of Tex-Mex. Try their churros!

My daughter and I went last night for the first time after reading a friends favorable review on Facebook. I didn't realize there was a Tex Mex restaurant in Orange. My only other experience with a Tex Mex restaurant was great so I was hoping this would be too.

The inside of the restaurant has had a pleasant face lift since last I had been in it years ago when it was something different. We were seated in a booth and were served chips, salsa, and a ranch dipping sauce. We had a most attentive waitress during our visit.

I ordered the chimichangas and they were really good covered

Went for lunch today, and got the chicken torta sandwich. It was amazing! Service is still on par from my previous visits. The crust on the chicken was unbelievable. Hopefully, they'll add it as an option to top your salads with. I need more!

From the first look at the menu I was super excited to try this place out and the first opportunity actually ended up ordering food to go! My co-worker and I ordered food to eat during a work event and I was beyond impressed when I saw the feast that had been prepared! Everything was so well packed and the food was AMAZING! I had the carnitas and the meat was so flavorful and juicy and well cooked that I could not stop eating it! The guacamole was super fresh and chunky making a delicious paring with the chips. And the churros were simply delicious, a perfect sweet treat! After such a great experience

Well I stopped to check out this place and what a surprise it was. I ordered the Pollo Von Crema, which didn't have the appearance I expected, but it was wonderful. They bring you chips and salsa as well as a creamy salsa that is amazing and highly addictive. The staff are pleasant and attentive and my food came out pretty fast. I ordered flan for dessert, and it was obviously house made and really good.

They currently don't have a liquor license, but they have applied and expect it soon.

I highly recommend stopping here and trying it out for yourself. I don't think it will disappoint
