El Garage Restaurant — Restaurant in Manassas

We visited for a late dinner on Sunday evening. Nice people. Not much English spoken but they are learning! We were the only gringos around. We felt very welcome. It felt just like we were in old Mexico—50 years ago! We love to travel and grew up in Texas so the culture difference was expected. Great food! The guacamole appetizer came with chip flags and extra chips on the side. Very tasty, a little heavy on the cilantro and salt. His Pollo Asada dinner was generous with fabulous chicken steaks, beans and rice with homemade cheese, salad with large slices of avocado and four fresh flour tortillas (choice of flour or corn). Her dinner of two tostadas, one carne asada and one chicken tinga (shredded) was just right! The beef was very good quality and seasoned well. The cook came out to talk to us , offer dessert and make sure the food met our expectations. It’s a family-run operation without beer. The man who brought our menus explained that beer causes too much trouble. Expect to see families with children exploring. They have a huge pile of high chairs in the corner! We will come back to El Garage when we’re...

For tacos barbacoa or carnitas, their is no better place in the DMV then this restaurant. Tortillas are warm and fluffy, lots of juicy meat, lots of cilantro and onions. Salsa is nice and spicy and it's just amazing. Came here by recommendation from my friend who is from Mexico who swears by this place. Also the staff are so friendly. Muchas gracias por la comida y servicio. Muy amable y la comida bien rico. Como la comida de la casa....
