La Campesina Restaurant

"Small restaurant with Mexican and Salvadoran food. Everything was freshly prepared and tasty. Chips were homemade, and the salsa was very good. All of our dishes were tasty and the portions reasonable. We really liked the fried bananas and ice cream dessert. The seating is crowded, and that is the biggest issue. Staff was friendly and helpful."

"We love coming here as it’s always a fun evening out (a treat for our kids and ourselves). Staff is super friendly and great with our family of four (we often come with our neighbors and their kids - two families totaling 8). Pablo and Alfredo are the best! I’ve come here with girlfriends too (sans kids) and it’s also been great. Kids are huge fans of the yellow queso, quesadillas (comes with fries) and the baked chicken with rice off the kids menu. Chips and salsa are a favorite and I’m also a fan of their quesadillas and their fajitas. Happy hour is always a treat as well. I typically get the large beers (modelo especial or blue moon) but their strawberry frozen margaritas are my husbands favorite. Recently, I tried the sangarita (red sangria with the frozen lime margarita) and our friend had the swirl margarita. Pics are compilation from the many times we’ve visited. Not shown are the papusas which are my favorite. I like to order them for lunch pickup."

"I wish we had more restaurants like this one in Northern Virginia. Seems to be owner-operated, with a lot of care for quality and customer service. The food is excellent and modestly priced for the area. The service was attentive in just the right way, not too much and not too little. We hope we can return to enjoy more meals here."

"Service was amazing. And food was pretty up there. There were few new items in the menu that you don't see in traditional americanized Mexican restaurants. Sufficient vegetarian options. It's a small business and a small place, you are going there for authenticity."
