This place had great chips and salsa and some great margaritas. It is one of the better tex-mex restaurants in the area and pushes out some good food. The service is excellent and friendly. The price, given the portion size, is on point.

We have been to this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. The decor is warm and earthy with a rustic chimney fireplace separating the main dining area into two sections making this otherwise large eating space feel cozy. There's also a snug little bar that's far enough from dining room that you won't hear the tv in there. Outdoor seating evokes a Mexican courtyard complete with bubbling fountain. The view down Main Street is less than inspiring as traffic pours through the busy cross streets, but it's set far back enough from the road to make this a pleasant area. Service is friendly and prompt without being pushy. As with most Tex/Mex places, you get a basket of tostadas chips and a bowl of salsa, both house made and really tasty. Servers are happy to bring an extra bowl or two for the salsa "hogs" in your group. Basic tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas are very tasty, plentiful, and inexpensive. Dinner entree prices are competitive with other like restaurants. I had the Chicken Margarita, a tasty blend of grilled chicken breast, onions, mushrooms, fresh spinach, and poblano sauce with a side of rice and salad. This dish also comes with a small pot of black beans. I asked for extra salad instead and the switch was made with no problem. Hubby had the chicken fajitas which arrive sizzling away with tortillas (corn or flour), guacamole, salad and rice. Tequila Grande offers specials geared to senior citizens and children as well as local law enforcement and teachers. There are also ladie's nights with half price drinks from the bar and early bird specials. It all adds up to a friendly neighborhood place that serves good food to couples, families, and groups alike with ease. We'd eat here again (and do!) and would recommend this spot to friends as well.

We had a late lunch at Tequila Grande yesterday. I don't know for dinner, but for lunch this is a great place. Fast and excellent service, delicious food and very low prices. Between my friend and I, we had a small beef quesadilla (not that small) which I had a hard time finishing, rice and beans, a good size salad, and club soda, for $17.50 with taxes (excluding tip).

This restaurant is located at the intersection of Chain Bridge Road (Rte 123) and Nutley Street - both major thoroughfares in northern Virginia, and next to a motel. We went on a Thursday evening and even then it was pretty busy. They have both indoor seating, and a small outdoor patio in the front of the restaurant, as well as a bar which is separate from the restaurant seating. We were seated and served fairly quickly, despite the crowd. The decor is reminiscent of a Mexican cantina with the (at least appearance of) stucco. There is even a fake parrot on a swing in one corner (not something I've seen in Mexico, but fun nonetheless). Though nothing can compare to Mexican food found in southern California, this is one of the better restaurants in this area. The selection and presentation are good (especially with the fajitas - they come sizzling in their skillet, with sides of rice and tortillas.) The enchildas were excellent, as were the stuffed poblano peppers. The childrens' burrito was big! Their salsa is quite good (mild / medium with fresh tomatoes, onions and cilantro) and the chips were served warm. If you are looking for Mexican food, I would recommend this restaurant.
