Zandra's is pretty far from where I live, but I decided to come here because I had been to the Fairfax location when it was still open several years ago, and had great memories there, so I wanted to see if the food lived up to my memory of it. While I wouldn't say it quite lived up to what I remembered it to be, the food was pretty good. I ordered the chicken al pastor taco, skirt steak taco, and honey habanero shrimp taco. My favorite out of those three was the steak. It had good flavor, and I liked the sauce and the veggies. I did not love the chicken al pastor. It tasted okay, but I feel like it lacked overall flavor, and it was pretty greasy. The honey habanero shrimp was solid, and it tasted fresh. The ambiance was not exactly how I remembered it, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The lighting was interesting (and maybe not the best to take pictures of food), but I enjoyed the overall vibes of the restaurant. I thought the food was not priced terribly, but I wouldn't say it is the best deal. The service was great. Our server checked up on us often and he was very friendly. While I probably would not make the trek back out here again since it is so far away, I would come here again if I lived around Manassas to try out some of the other tacos.

Ive been here before plenty of times , but while home recently for the holiday I came twice and I fell back in love with this place. The tacos are a hit, but for my girlfriend and I the star of the show was the habanero margs. If you get anything i highly highly recommend getting a few of those.

First time visit with friends on a weeknight around 5:30 pm. It wasn't crowded but people were coming in non-stop and it started to get crowded around 7:00. The service was great. We ordered a round of drinks and appetizers and then evolved into the tacos. The margaritas are excellent. The tater tots elote are amazing. We had the pork belly tacos as well. We will have to go back just for dessert. Wonderful service, food and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

Went to Zandra's with my granddaughter early Saturday afternoon. It was not crowded which was great. We ordered sweet fire shrimp taco and the loaded queso tots. Food came out quickly and everything was delicious. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the rooftop. It was a good experience

Food is excellent if a little pricey. Good selection of beers and other drinks. Service is average. Good opportunity to sit inside or on rooftop.

The food was amazing. My friend and I popped in here, never being here before but we were in the mood for a margarita. It was the first time I had to pay for chips and salsa, but we got to choose our salsa from a few different types. I chose the mango salsa and it was really good. It said "sweet salsa", but it def had a kick. We also got the queso dip, elote (which can be cut off the cob) and two tacos. All of it was delicious. I was not impressed with the wait staff, very slow, not attentive, but it wasn't horrible. I'd definitely go back again.

Visited Zandra's around like 4:30pm on Thursday and I was able to grab a sit as soon as I walked in. The space is seat yourself and you have to find street parking so be mindful of that if you come during peak hours of 5pm or later. The inside of the restaurant gives a small/medium sized bar vibe there is seating at the bar and also about 10 or so tables in the entire restaurant (unless there is another floor I didn't see). Our waitress/waiter was amazing, so so sweet. She made me a delicious and very creative mocktail: a spin on a pine colada and margarita, chef's kiss. My girlfriend had a mojito and enjoyed hers! For food: we had the buffalo chicken taco, smash burger, sweet fire shrimp, mango salasa (super fresh and tasty), and guacamole. The buffalo chicken taco had the two peppers next to it on the menu but wasn't too spicy more like a mild. The sweet fire shrimp that didn't have the peppers written next to it on the menu was hotter than the buffalo chicken. The smash burger was literally a patty on a taco, if that's your jam you will like it. The pickles on it are good but it's a bit much and one or two would be enough to fill you up. I would definitely get the buffalo chicken taco again and sweet fire shrimp. I look forward to trying the other options and their drink specials and offerings are really good too.

Absolutely obsessed with this place! We've come about three times in two weeks. The chips and salsa is absolutely amazing! I love the medium green salsa, and my husband can't get enough of the spicy salsa. He also loved the smoked pork belly taco, and my favorite vegan option is the brussel sprouts. We had three different servers behind the bar. While the first two were just ok, a little cocky actually.. David P was absolutely incredible! Very friendly, attentive, and gave us a great dining experience! Seriously love all the beers and ciders on tap. There's plenty of options for everyone! PS if you don't like loud music, recommend going mid-day for a more chill, laid back vibe!
