At El Paso Mexican Grill, located at 16918 Dumfries Rd in Dumfries, VA, patrons can expect a delightful escape into authentic Mexican cuisine. The inviting atmosphere is complemented by attentive service, creating a relaxed dining experience. Customers rave about the Sizzling Fajitas, available in chicken or shrimp, which arrive grilled to perfection with a generous array of accompaniments like pico de gallo and guacamole. Reviewers have highlighted the gooey yet crispy quesabirria, praised for its ideal meat-to-cheese ratio, though some note that the accompanying salsa could use a touch more spice. Desserts play a pivotal role in the El Paso experience, with the homemade Choco Flan stealing the show—though it’s worth noting that some found the cake layer slightly dry.

I got the quesabirria and chocolate flan. Quesabirria was gooey in the middle, crunchy on the edges, overall good ratio of meat to cheese. The broth was ok, chocolate flan was decent, but the cake layer was a little dry. Salsa and chip were ok. Overall very good food and service. Atmosphere was nice, my ears were not blown out with music, which I really like. My server was Michelle and she was a good server Great place if you want some mexican food without the ear-drum blowing out music.

Once again, another restaurant that prepared something not on the menu...just a steak, medium rare...3 eggs over easy...and an avocado. That says quite a bit when they will accommodate that plate!!

Out running around and wanted Mexican Food. So I see El Paso Mexican Grill. The server immediately brought out chips and salsa. The Salsa can use so work like spice. The drinks were great.. I ordered the Mole enchiladas. I am my Princess had the shrimp. The Mole was out of this world. The Fried Ice Cream was a Fail. It tasted like cereal. But over all the food, drinks and service was great.

Eaten from here 2-3 times now and the food is always delicious. Definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. The chicken was cooked to perfection and left me wanting more. Also I like the fact you get hot taco tortillas to go with your meal.

Three Birria tacos and a plate of beans and rice. The tacos were rich, moist and flavorful. Consume was meaty with some hints of cilantro and onion. Service was very fast at the bar. But probably because I got there early and watched them make a lot of margaritas.

This little out-of-the-highway restaurant that we found out of pure coincidence has for to be by far the best Mexican restaurant that I have been to. The service was beyond excellent, the food was great and the Margaritas where awesome. I highly recommended if you are eve in the Dunfries, VA erea stop in you will not regret it.
