El Fresco Tex-Mex Grill — Restaurant in Virginia

The people here are just plain awesome and only their food outshines their awesomeness! We have lunch here at least once a week and El Fresco has never failed to deliver. It is Tex-Mex food made with the absolute freshest of ingredients. We swear you can taste the sunshine in the tomatoes used for the many varieties of salsa. Salsa that comes free with a huge helping of the best chips anywhere. We can vouch for anything shrimp having had both the shrimp quesadillas and the handheld shrimp burritos. Both of these are stuffed with fantastic shrimp and the very best of ingredients. (The burrito the winner of any we have ever had and we have had dozens!) All the proteins are of exceptional quality; pork, chicken, steak, etc. The nachos are in a category by themselves -- A delicious monster size helping which we swore we could not finish but oh, look -- we did! There is a terrific lunch menu which runs until the unusual hour of 4:00 p.m. which accommodates us workaholics who will suddenly look at the clock and realize lunch time has passed! We have not had anything of less than stellar quality in the dozens of times we have eaten here. The restaurant is always found in pristine condition as the manager personally takes the time to clean up on a regular basis; you can tell he takes pride in both the facility and the food. NVCC students take note: El Fresco is directly across the street from campus and it offers a 15% discount for students. Such a deal; we wish we were still in school! Please give El Fresco a try as the food is the best Tex-Mex to be found anywhere...

My experience here was remarkable! I was in Sterling for an appointment and needed breakfast before going in. I didn't want to get the typical fast food options so I decided to try this place that was in a small strip mall with a 711 and other businesses. The cashier greeted me and asked me if I was ready to order or if I had any questions. The hospitality felt genuine and not rushed and robotic like most customer service experiences nowadays. I ordered Carne Asada con huevos and I was given a alarm button that beeps when your food is ready and waited in my car parked out front. My food was DELICIOUS!!! The potatoes were golden cubes of crafted crispiness. The carne was well seasoned and cooked through. A smokier char would help but just a suggestion, meat was great as is. The scrambled eggs were hot and fresh and I also got tortillas with my meal to make my own tacos. I would return here and try other items! Genuine service, cooked to order, and...
