Tejanos Cantina: Reviews & Ratings
We came for the "all you can eat tacos". Once sat down, we were served complimentary chips and salsa. The taco bar included shredded chicken, fajita, ground beef, chicken, and steak, with a variety of tortillas and more chips. Sides were salsa, queso, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, Spanish rice and refried beans. The vibe was homey. The one waitress was welcoming, we even saw her greeting regulars. And AYCE tacos for $12 is a STEAL!
This restaurant, tucked in a small strip mall in Nokesville, VA, is a surprisingly good place to grab a bite to eat. Parking is great and while the inside could use a few tiny cosmetic updates, the food was SOOOO good and fresh. I ordered the chicken fajitas which came steaming hot to the table. To my surprise, there was more grilled white meat chicken than veggies, which is usually the reverse. The entire serving was nicely plated and everything looked fresh and appetizing. My husband ordered Tacos Oxaca and he said his meal was fresh and delicious as well. The service was friendly and our orders came out of the kitchen quickly. The price was a bit high, especially for the fajitas, but at least it wasn't a dissapointment.
Great food! Had the mixed fajitas and the Buffalo wings. Tasty, tasty, tasty . Quick delivery too!
The steak fajitas here are truly amazing. Wonderful food and staff. I have bought takeout here multiple times and have never been disappointed.
I'll have to agree with the other reviewer, this place really IS a hidden gem in Nokesville! The food is very authentic and delicious. You can tell that everything is homemade fresh. We ordered steak and shrimp tacos, and the seasoning** they do on the meat is SO delicious. The service was absolutely excellent. We ended up making fast friends with the manager Jessica. We are coming back 100%. This is a new business, opened this year, that deserves support from the community so they can continue to grow and make that location their own. Grand Opening 9/16-9/19; good specials!!
This place is a hidden gem in Nokesville. The service is amazing! Chips and freshly made salsa is delicious. My favorite dish is the shrimp tacos on corn tortilla! Definitely worth the drive to this Mexican restaurant! You won't be disappointed!
The BEST chimichangas are here - even with it delivered 15 minutes away, the tortilla was still crispy and the bottom was not soggy at all. I also ordered the cheese nachos which they stuff the whole container with. What a great value. Also extra happy because this is the only place that delivers to Catlett!
