Mi Degollado – Charles Town
Let’s get this out of the way – there are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the Eastern Panhandle and the surrounding areas. We have tried a lot, but each restaurant has their own unique flavor, both aesthetically and menu-wise. Mi Degollado has always been a favorite of mine, so I’m so happy we got […]
Toltecos Mexican Restaurant

Paco’s Market
People love to throw the term “hidden gem” around, but no place more embodies that moniker than Paco’s Market, located in the Exxon gas station on Martinsburg Pike off I-81 Exit 317 in the Winchester area. Extremely non-descript outside, but the interior is purely authentic Mexico, and the food is no different. If you are […]

El Rancho Plus
Last week, we were in the Northern Virginia area, and my little one was craving some queso dip from a Mexican restaurant. The first Mexican restaurant we could find in the Purcellville area was El Rancho Plus, so we tried them out. It was a small, homey type of spot, with a more limited menu […]
Fiesta Tapatia – Spring Mills
Recently, we went to a business meeting at Fiesta Tapatia in Spring Mills, WV. There is another location in Martinsburg, but this review is strictly about the Spring Mills location.
