Reviews For Altos de Jalisco Mexican Grill Winchester VA

I've read many other reviews on the local FB foodie groups for Altos and finally got a chance to stop by. So glad we did! The inside has been completely redone and looks amazing. They even put little sombrero hats on the Greene Turtles We had the tableside guacamole which was fantastic. Our server made it so quick! The salsa and chips were free and also so tasty. Our group had the mole, birria tacos, and fried fish. Everything came out hot and fresh. Birria tacos were stuffed full. Only criticism I have regarding the birria tacos is that the consomme could use a bit more salt and/or something to season it. The rice and beans were even good! Usually, they are just a cheaply made afterthought but not here! My husband ordered the mole and he enjoyed it. No one else at the table likes mole though. My friend who ordered the fried fish said it was cooked and flavored perfectly. We didn't get any drinky drinks this time but I'm excited to visit again to try the margaritas! There are so many options

I ordered a small catering order for 15 people. Coming from Texas, I’m used to great Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, and I have to say this exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent, with generous portions, and the service was superb. Everyone in my party loved the food, and I will definitely be ordering again. Although we didn’t dine in the restaurant this time and opted for takeout, I’m looking forward to coming back for an in-person dining experience.

This beautiful restaurant is right next to the Alamo movie theater. It was very busy, but we were quickly seated, and our drinks arrived without delay. Our waitress was very busy, but still provided excellent service. The refried beans were delicious, better than I've had elsewhere. Our main course was fresh and tasty. Perfect for a "date night," after a movie. They had a huge bar!

We eat at a lot of Mexican restaurants and have to say this has to be up there with the best. Definitely freshly made and isn't too Americanized. We loved the fresh salsa and chips, which if you can't get that right then what are you doing in business? So when dinner came we were again pleasantly surprised. Not your usual sloppy stuff. The service could have been better but to be fair it was a very busy night for them.

Update: July 2022 Still an amazing restaurant with truly fabulous food and drinks! Just wanted to give a shout out to Yaneth who was our most recent server! Truly excellent and professional service! Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and it's staff! What a fabulous, authentic Mexican restaurant! The atmosphere is truly classic and inviting. The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly delicious! The drinks are refreshing and expertly mixed. The service is fast, friendly, and super knowledgeable about the rather extensive menu! An absolute must stop by when you're in the Winchester area. Awesome prices as well! Special shout out to our amazing server, Jacky! She made dining a true pleasure!

SO BOMB! My absolute favorite spot to go. Hands down the best and most authentic Mexican food I’ve had. And I’ve been to a lot of places! Everyone is always super helpful and kind. We get seated right away. The place is large enough for lots of people but you never feel crowded. Very cute and cozy. Great for family or a date night! Nice big bar. Highly recommend. The flavor on the food... superior!

This was our first time dining here and it certainly won’t be our last! Great atmosphere and very friendly, attentive staff. I ordered the carnitas served with sauteed onions, which were delicious: juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It came with three tortillas, rice, and refried beans. My husband got the Molcajete which was super impressive in both appearance and taste! It features chicken, steak, shrimp and chorizo in a hot volcanic stone bowl. We were impressed by everything we ordered and we can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I wanted some Mexican tonight and decided to give Altos a try. Very good decision. The atmosphere is rustic and charming. Our Server Yaneth was very attentive and sweet. The complementary Salsa and Chips was fresh, and on point with spice. We then ordered civiche which was fresh, favorable and delicious, you won't go wrong with ordering. We then ordered, a cheese quesadilla, and for main courses, we had enchilada verdes, with a side of beans, which was my choice oh goodness, flavorable, tender meat and oh so delicious. Husband ordered burrito jalisco, torta. Everything was fresh, flavored on point. You will not be disappointed, and prices are very very reasonable and worth every penny.
