Reynosa Restaurant and Grocery — Restaurant in Winchester

what an amazing hidden gem. we love to support mom and pop operations. ❤️ We walked in at 7:45pm - they close at 8:30pm, the staff was welcoming, friendly and courteous spite it being so late. A wonderful Central American restaurant and market with many specialty staple items that can be found across all of Central American countries.

Limited seating capacity. The bathrooms were spotless and smelled clean, plenty room in parking lot as well in this free standing establishment.

If you are looking for good food and want to try something new give this establishment a go (it's been open for 5 years)

we ordered 3 pupusas (a thick griddle cake or flatbread from Central America made with cornmeal or rice flour filled with melted cheese, refried beans and sometimes loroco (see below) or pork.) the revueltas/mixed come with beans, cheese and chicarron/pork, had great flavor, came hot and fresh, the dough was spot on and flavorful as well. the loca/crazy option comes with same ingredients as above plus loroco (a flower bud from Central America with a reminiscent taste of chard, artichoke, and asparagus mixed with a faint, floral sweetness), amazing combo! you don't find this everywhere even if pupusas are typically served, a unique menu item to this establishment. The curtido (cole slaw but with vinegar instead of mayo) was absolutely delicious.

The sopa de res (beef soup) was one of the best I've had, flavorful, filling & served piping hot, it's filled with melt in your mouth beef chunks, corn, cabbage, carrots, squash and yucca, topped fresh cilantro and served with thick handmade tortillas, side of veggie rice and a wedge of lime. Definitely a hearty must try as the weather starts to cool down.

The tacos were wonderful as well - the al pastor had nice flavor although not a traditional wet mexican style, the carnitas were good as well also not a traditional style as the gelatinous pork skin chunks were not included, the lengua (tongue) was cooked a bit too well for personal preference but still good.

A mistake was made between ordering and food delivery but a welcome happy mistake it turned out to be, we order carne asada (grilled steak) tacos but a grilled steak platter arrived instead - well no problem! the steak had amazing flavor, it was fork tender sat on a bed of grilled tomatoesand onions, the red beans fantastic, the rice good and the avocado salad was a nice added touch, the dish is served with a side of thin corn tortillas as well.

To drink we order agua de marañon (cashew apple water - i say water loosely bc it's just a literal translation yet it can really be considered an ice tisane/tea) - it is yet another item that's not typically found in many places and uniquely found at this hidden gem. It's has a tart almost sour taste, think lemon head, drink that's sweetened.

I bet their breakfast is to die for!

Absolutely recommend and would stop in over and over again when passing through...

In my honest opinion, my rating is minus-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Read on and you will see why.

My husband and I chose this restaurant for Cinco de Mayo, based on previous relatively good ratings. We pull into the parking lot and it's virtually empty. Had it not been for the illuminated "OPEN" sign, we would have assumed it was closed. So, we try the door, it opens, and we begin to go inside. The second inner door has a liquor license application taped to the glass. "Great, no margaritas today," I thought to myself, "Maybe they're hoping selling alcohol will make them seem more appealing and bring in more revenue." We step inside and walk up to a counter, to find several white boards with a menu haphazardly scrawled across them. When we say our order is "for here", the server says we can seat ourselves and she will bring us menus. There are no booths; only four-seater tables, and one combination of two or three tables pulled together for a larger group. We took a table next to the old Wendy's restaurant "greenhouse style" windows (which appeared to not have been cleaned for quite some time). My husband ordered the flank steak fajitas and I ordered two flank steak tacos. I had to request all of the toppings because when I asked what they put on their tacos, the server said the tacos were made with only the meat and cilantro. We both opted for the meals which included Spanish-style rice and beans. We were served quickly, the server checked on us frequently, portion sizes were ample, and everything tasted good, but it was not the explosion of flavor I was expecting (based upon the overrated reviews). I had just finished my meal, sat back in my seat to relax, and casually glanced around at my surroundings. It was a little depressing seeing what little effort was put into the appearance and ambience of the place. I looked down at the windowsill and it was then that I saw something moving. I thought, "Meh, an occasional fly is not unusual for any restaurant." However, I looked closer, and then took a picture of this insect that was definitely not a fly. I immediately Googled "cockroach" and the images matched my picture! I took a few horrifying seconds of video to prove I was not imagining what I had seen, and that I am in no way exaggerating or being facetious toward the business. My husband then said he saw a really small cockroach crawl out from underneath a small crack in a corner of the wall below the window. My skin crawled, I suddenly felt nauseous, I did not finish my drink, and I did not want a to-go box. I would have left right then, but my husband insisted we pay the check. I could barely wait to be out of that place and will...

I highly recommend this restaurant. My husband and I have been desperately trying to find a truly authentic Mexican restaurant in Winchester and we did. Tacos are probably our favorite food but it’s so hard to find a good place that makes them. Their pupusas are absolutely delicious. We both got carnitas tacos and the pork was so tender and full of flavor. The rice and beans were seasoned perfectly. We were given chips and salsa when we sat down and even the salsa tasted amazing; homemade and addicting. We will definitely go...
