Casa Tequila Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Virginia

Awful! I came in with a dining group where we meet once a month at local restaurants. This was our first time here, and I will never return; that was the prevailing sentiment among much of the group. Typically, the restaurant is prepared for our group, and that was not the case in this restaurant. I arrived late to dinner, and thus everyone had already ordered. It took more than 10 minutes after arriving even to get a glass of water and order a drink. Eventually, two others arrived, so we could place our drink and food orders together. Additionally, it leaves a bad impression when you serve a bag of stale chips. The chips weren't even better with salsa and salt. Luckily, a fresh bag was opened and brought to our table, but diners don't forget bad service or bad food. Most of the dishes the others ordered looked good. I was not very hungry, so I ordered a taco salad with ground beef. What could go wrong? The food was prepared quickly and out within about 10 minutes, but OMG, the ground beef tasted awful. There was no seasoning. It tasted like it was cooked in water without any spice or seasoning. The blandness of the ground beef, mixed with very few greens, made for a very poor meal. I ate it for dinner, but it wasn't good. The mango mojito was good, but it had very little alcohol in it, and I would know, as I don't drink much alcohol and didn't feel any effect from it. It almost seemed like I got a virgin version of the Mango Mojito. We discovered after the fact that it was the server's second day on the job. Management, do better, don't put a new server with a large group party that you weren't set up for, even though you knew there would be a big party at 6 pm on that Monday. The manager of this location was also rude and not particularly helpful to our group...

Wow. Honestly, I had no idea. I stopped in for lunch. Was wanting " Mexican" food. I passed by Chipotle as It is so familiar, and I wanted a restaurant atmosphere to relax and chat in. Well, it's my lucky day! Trust me, I never expect much from Bean's, meat, cheese, tomatoes, meat, and salsa. It is all the same, right? Nope. I ordered the lunch special steak fajita with a side of homemade Habenaro sauce. I am speechless. First, the meat was tender and marinated perfectly. The corn tortilla was creamy smooth and melted in my mouth. The homemade salsa was lite and fresh, the Habenaro hot sauce was medium heat, and it did not overwhelm the pallet. Perfect bite of heat to complement the luxury of the tortilla and the tender marinated meat. Perfect. I was honestly speechless. I wanted more. Two young men joined me at the bar for lunch, and I could not help but express how impressed I was with the delicious meal I was privileged to have in front of me. They laughed, shook their heads in agreement, and said ," Yeah, we love the food here as well. He recommended the enchiladas. *Will do!. I can't recommend Casa Taquila quick enough. Run, do not walk, invite your friends. You will leave very happy. Promise. I am just a guy who likes food. Not endorsed, unfortunately!lol. I have found my new love, and it is Casa Taquila Bar and Grill. They do Mexican fare...

Came in on a Tuesday night for dinner. I ordered carnitas and stuck to water. I asked for a jalapeno as well. The carnitas wasn't too bad. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. Portion was also smaller than expected for dinner. The complementary chips and salsa were pretty good. Service was okay. The jalapeno I asked for didn't come sliced; it was just a whole jalapeno. I would've liked it to have been sliced prior to being given to me because my knife was a dinner knife and was not easy to use to cut up a raw jalapeno. I didn't wait too long for my server to take my order. It also didn't take very long for me to get my order from the kitchen. I did, however, wait some time to get my waiter's attention so that I can ask for my check. I sat at the bar where the dining area next to it was filled with diners who were participating in a karaoke night. It seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun. It was a pretty good vibe. I think this is a routine occurrence, which seems like fun. I may come back and try a different dish to see if it was just a miss when I...
