El Mexa Mexican Restaurant - Windsor, Virginia

Well this one was a very pleasant and delicious surprise. I was hungry, the Chinese restaurant closed 30 minutes before the scheduled they have at the door so Mexican it was. I ordered a couple of burritos to go, when I paid 11.50$ I wasn’t expecting much and I order a side of avocado by the way, well it was great with a bag of chips, enough to fill anyone, taste amazing, presentation, even better, it’s a gem in the middle of town, great value for the bucks, excellent, I’ll come back soon

Our family and friends love this quaint, family oriented restaurant that specializes in authentic El Salvadorian food made with hardworking El Salvadorian hands. The staff members consist of a loving mom and her amazing children. Each employee welcomes you with open arms when you enter the door. The food is always hot, fresh, and made to order. The drinks are very refreshing and there is something for everyone, from tea to milkshakes and of course your adult beverages. Great things come in small packages so please give them a chance. They’re in the space on the corner down from the ABC store. (Previously Costa Del Sol, Windsor, VA)

Update: went back s second time and brought friends to eat in. Maria was an excellent server, accommodated dietary needs, was knowledgeable, and pleasant. She hit all the marks! The dining room was decorated as one might expect and the booths are generously padded making them comfortable. The one "lunch" meal ordered (a quesadilla) was portioned appropriately. The Carlos salad had a lot of chicken and shrimp and was large (two meals for many people) and my California chimichanga was huge (I behaved and saved half for dinner.)

Thanks to Facebook I discovered this restaurant in the next town over. I arrived about 2:30 and the restaurant was empty. I ordered the chicken fajita salad - it arrived very quickly. I took it to go because my plan was to eat only a quarter of it and save the rest for the next day as I already had dinner plans (I had missed breakfast and lunch). Well, the smell was intoxicating and the first bite was so good, followed by another , and another. I quickly decided diet be damned, I was going to enjoy the entire salad. I did refrain from licking the container, but I ate every speck of food. The chicken was tender yet several pieces were slightly crispy on the outside where the marinade had caramelized adding depth of flavor. I tried the chips and provided salsas when I got home (did I mention that I devoured the salad in the parking lot?🤣) The chips were thick 👍 and slightly greasy, but not so that the chip was ruined, just enough to leave some stains on the paper bag they were packaged in (freshly fried perhaps? I forgot to ask) The salsa was flavorful but not spicy 🔥, and whatever the white sauce was, it was excellent! (On second visit my friends thought the salsa was spicy, but I still think it mildly spiced) I hadn't planned on eating the chips due to my diet restrictions, but I'm glad I tried them as they and the salsas did not disappoint. I am a margarita snob and find most restaurants do not make a good tasting drink, so I am hoping to get back to El Mexa when I have more time so I can try one. There are (2, soon to be 3) closer Mexican restaurants to me, but El Mexa exceeded my expectations and provided the best tasting food. It is obvious that the proprietor cares about putting out great tasting food. I do not hesitate to post negative comments, but there is nothing to improve upon the food served at El Mexa. I look forward to eating there again, and again! I will definitely eat there to celebrate my Cinco de Mayo birthday and will ensure I have a designated driver so that I can try a margarita, or 2!

My husband and I have enjoyed every meal we've had at El Mexa. Restaurant is clean, food is always good, and staff friendly. Our only suggestion would be to lower the volume of the music.

We can only speak about the ground and shredded beef in the burritos. We were just passing through. The flavors of both are not your typical "Mexican" joint crap that you see everywhere and all taste the exact same blandness. There is flavor in these meats. The people were extremely nice. Will definitely be back when we are going 460 which is soon.

Nice cozy place to grab lunch or dinner. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is super nice. Very clean and the food is amazing. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious flavor in a small town

You CANNOT go wrong with their steak fajitas!

My wife and I live in town. We've eaten there twice. We both love Mexican. It's more authentic than most. The food was a bit slow to arrive at our table but, was great. It's a tad small but clean and well-lit. The servers are very good. I think it's well worth going. They even have breakfast. Matter of fact. I think I'll go again now. Have the best day ever. ✌️🙏🫶🤗
