Mexican Restaurants near Chevy Chase

“This location was quiet and relatively clean.The staff did not have the drink and utensils station properly stocked. As a result, I (politely) asked for forks, and the staff member did not bother to pay attention to my request.The professionalism was lacking.The only thing that saved them was the food being very tasty.Visit this location. Just be prepared for subpar service.“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“Not a DC local, but when I visited, I was with my group pretty late at night. This place was one of the few places in walking distance that was open, but I think we lucked out with it. We showed up, were seated pretty quickly, and had some time to look over the menu. There were plenty of options of all sorts, and we ended up eating on the more adventurous side, getting grasshopper tacos and beef tongue tacos. While definitely unusual, it tasted great. There were plenty of other strange choices, this clearly being a great place to try new things. The house made chips were also great, even without the salsa.“

“Dined in for mother’s days and my mother loved the place, location atmosphere etc our experience was almost perfect. We spoke to the owner and he let us know his favorite appetizers and entrees and we took each recommendation. Even tho this is a Mexican restaurant i tried their Lomo Saltado and it was great the entree was full of steak, they didn’t try to fill my plate with loads of vegetables like most places do. ? percent will return“

“Cool restaurant with fresh, creative Mexican food. Wide variety of vegetarian and meat options. Friendly service. I couldn’t find anywhere to park and parked a ten minute walk away. Maybe there’s somewhere closer that I don’t know about. The new salad was super good and the pasole was good too.“

“Beautiful restaurant! Great introduction to Vera by our wonderful waiter Kevin. We learned about the similarities between Lebanese and Mexican cultures and how that would be shown in the dishes and drinks that we ordered. Kevin walked us through the menu and gave us suggestions to give us the best possible experience. Standout items for me were the branzino (perfectly cooked!) and the batata harra.“

“One of the best spots in the DMV hands down. I wanted to check out the place for some time because I had never experienced Taco Tuesday for myself. Like it was just lingering in my head until one day I suddenly said to myself, " I should really try something new today ". And thus, here we are with a review. La Tingeria is a Taco Shop located in Falls Church. If there's one thing I will have to mention, the parking situation is like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle. Why are there so many cars here? How can anyone park here? There's parking on the streets, the sidewalk but it's very limited. I'm not saying there are better options close to you but if you are briefly going in to pick up food, I think you'd be okay with parking relatively close by. I must have hit the lottery when I accidently checked Instagram or so on Tuesday. Saw a post from where their social media representative mentioned 5-9 PM for 2 dollar Tacos. That's amazing! I decided to splurge because why not right? After parking, I ventured inside. I think I must have been the first to walk in once it hit 5 PM, I was on a mission for sure. I immediately went to the board to check out all the Taco Items they had.. Birria, Chorizo, Hal Pastor, Carne Asada, ect... So many good options. I got 2 Birria Goat, 2 Birria Beef, 1 Tinga Chicken, 1 Tinga Beef, 2 Chorizos for my choice of tacos. I also paid for Consomme which is an absolute must if I'm going to dip my tacos in delicious broth. I also had to get a Mexican Coke too. The only downside was there was one that wasn't chilled so it was at room temperature. The Birria Goat/Beef were soft, tender chunks of meat that melted in your mouth with full bliss the minute you took a bite. Dipping it into the Consommé felt like a dream came true. I never experienced a wide array of euphoria after eating good tacos. The Tinga Chicken/Beef Tacos were okay but the meat kept falling out of the Taco and into the Consommé. It was good but I think I would opt for something else. The Chorizo tacos had a slight kick to them but not overpowering. I think with the Consommé they brought more of that saltiness out. For around 24 dollars, this is a match made in heaven. I think truly this is a place I will check out again for sure.“

“Very authentic food. I had the fish taco. First time eating them and being their. Very nice.“

“My server, Aleidy, was open, pleasant and made great suggestions! We got the family style course was everything!!! I've been to many Mexican restaurants and this location exceeded my expectations. Every plate that came out was EXCELLENT!!!“

“great services! good drinks!“

“Coming from Los Angeles, one of the best cities for Mexican food in the US, I have high standards for Mexican food, especially street tacos. When I learned they had a location in Bethesda, I ran as fast as I could to visit. I fell in love when a coworker let me try a spoon of esquites. What differentiates them is their Mayo. They do their own twist by making it spicy and delicious with some godly seasoning. I loved it so much I tried making it at home, but wasn't able to exactly replicate it (please tell me your recipe haha). I am on the hunt to find something like this in LA! Service at Tacombi is always superb. Super fast service here. I went on Easter Sunday, and was attended to by a lovely person. He was super accommodating to a picky family member I brought. Appreciate the great vibes, food, and amazing tacos. Love ya Tacombi.“

“Friendly and attentive service. The atmosphere is lively and comfortable, lots of tables and outdoor space. It is located away from any loud roads which is a plus. Fun and expansive cocktail menu- I started with the Wolf Spritzer and then had a Beer-Garita. Solid guac. I ordered the duck tacos and plantains, both pictured. Highly recommend both. This is a fun addition to Union Market.“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“Thanks so much to Treacy and the rest of the Guapo’s team for a wonderful lunch today. All our food was delicious, especially the sopapillas! The service was excellent. Treacy kept a close eye on us, and every team member scanned our table to see if they could take care of anything as they walked by. Even better, they were all genuinely kind and friendly people. Thanks again for a great lunch on a beautiful day!“

“This taco truck is located on 14th St in Arlington,Virginia, right off of Rt. 50 West. Not only are the tacos here delicious but the customer service is very good. The few times I drove by this food truck I noticed pretty decent customer lines which led me to believe this place sold delicious tacos. However on this day I was in luck because the truck did not have a line, on a Saturday evening. I could smell the grill as I crossed the street on my way to the truck. The ordering process was very easy and efficient. On this occasion I ordered Asada (beef) and Pastor (pork) tacos to-go. The tacos were full-flavor and delicious. Overall this was a good taco truck experience and one which I will try again when in the area. Give them a shot for your next taco experience.“

“Clean, quick service, normal wait time for food. Real sliced beef on the nachos. See attached pic for details.“

It's a large portion. A must share.*mexican bowl-ground beef for protein. Mmm so flavorful! You pick your salsa.Service was helpful and friendly. We will definitely return.

“I visited this Tex-Mex restaurant with a friend some time ago, and we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding, served in the perfect portions with the freshest ingredients to create the best Tex-Mex cuisine in the area. The interior was decorated with numerous paintings and art, which made the ambiance bold, colorful, and authentic. The service we received was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking the best Tex-Mex food in town!“

“It was our first time there we had a great time , service was great the food the bomb we will come back again .“

“Their food truck right next to my building & after my first try, I have a hard time to stop myself not getting their veggie tacos, burrito & cheese quesadilla. Cook & server are so nice & they are always quick to provide my order. There is always a line in front of their truck, either short or long line. They deserve it!“

“Los tacos super ricos RECOMENDADOS“

“Excelente atención y la comida deliciosa“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“Good food good service happy environment“

“Great service and great food.I had the Birria and it was so tender. I don't like onions and they were very accommodating. Even making the guacamole. We've been here twice.I also included a picture of their margarita flight which was really cool and definitely more than enough for 2 people.Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate me not liking onions“

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

“SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful in answering our questions and providing recommendations from the menu based on our preferences. Very professional and she was always around when we needed anything.FOOD: If you like chicken nachos you should try these. They put the right amount of cheese, chicken, jalapenos, guac, every ingredient pairs perfectly. I had the chicken enchilada and my husband the chicken tacos. The plates are smaller in size than expected but still delicious and filling..ATMOSPHERE: The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting and comfortable. The indoor dining area is to the left when you walk in, the bar in the middle and outdoor seating. Very nice.Overall we will visit this establishment again!“

“Good service, great food!“

“I LOVE this taco truck! Everything is alway amazing!“

“The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and the hibiscus margaritas. The service was great too!“

“So goo that we came twice in two days while we were on vacation. Highly recommend.“

“Lovely and enchanting place to eat. Food tastes great“

“Rented the private room for a work cocktail reception and was impressed by the food, service, and drinks. We had around 15 people, but the room can certainly accommodate more than that.We arranged for cocktail tables for a standing reception, and they have great food and drink combinations for your party. We had our own private bartender, a taco station, and passed hors d'oeuvres.The guests loved the food and drinks. Everyone on the staff was very kind and friendly.If your party stays in the space longer than reserved, they will begin charging per head. So worth knowing you have a little buffer time to get everyone out before that happens. A manager was kind enough to give me a heads up and around 20 minutes for everyone to exit the space.“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“My favorite place to eat in all of DC and they have carna Asada fries, those that know, know it’s a treasure in San Diego that’s why I like this place so much“

“Good portion! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. I had the steak bowl (grilled peppers, grilled corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese) and a large side of chips and guacamole. Chips were salted and the guacamole was fresh with a hint of citrus. After the bowl, I couldn't finish the chips but it wasn't for lack of trying! lol. 100x better than Chipotle and they give adult portions. Only issue - it arrived ice cold! like it was in the fridge. Quick reheat and it was all good.“

“Quick bite for tacos and similar fare. Non-complex ordering. Write a quantity and receive your order. I had birria taco, carne asada taco and small guacamole with a cola. My guest had rice and beans and a steak taco (kids meal) with a watermelon agua fresca. Total bill with tip $46“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“Had the Pleasure of Djing there“

“We love Mexican food. The menu was Mexican food with a slight current twist, everyone in our party had something slightly different and enjoyed the item they chose. The cocktails were good, and the service was quick. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive“

“I have been here a few times with my friends for Happy hour. The food is quick. the only thing they need to say that they don't split check and everything is on one check, it ends up being hard to break up. we had a nice service a host of wonderful food runners..I do want to suggest having 2 servers upstairs during the happy hour. my guy was great but the parties were large and it was just him taking the orders. The atmosphere is great!!!!!!“

“Came on a Friday night for a quick dinner. The restaurant didn't look like much from the outside but inside it was popping and pretty spacious with two dining rooms. The ambiance is your neighborhood mom-and-pop shop, no fancy decor, very down to earth, but everything felt well-maintained and clean. The restaurant was quite busy but the servers were very attentive and came to take our order as soon as we sat down. We had horchata ($4) and tamarindo ($3.5) for drinks. Both were very good and reasonably priced. The complementary salsa was amazing, with amazing flavor and a great kick. We shared El Tipico and Lomo Saltado as our mains. The portions were generous for two hungry people. Their combo platters are great for people looking to try a bit of everything. My favorite from El Tipico platter was the Pupusas Revueltas, so cheesy and paired well with the slaw. The tamale and enchilada were delicious and generously filled. The chicken filling was slightly dry so will try a different option next time. The Lomo Saltado was also great. It came with crunchy fries, well-marinated meat, and a flavorful, gingery sauce. The food took a bit long to come out (~40 mins), which is completely understandable for a mom-and-pop restaurant. My friend and I were running for a show afterward so had to rush our meal. Would recommend budgeting some extra time:)“

“Amazing authentic food, warm and attentive staff. These people are the real deal! I highly recommend you find your way here!“

“We came here for our monthly family dinner night. We wanted to try a new spot. Ambiance - Cute. Really liked the seafood art in the walls. And the smell when you first walked in was incredible. We knew we were going to eat well. Food/Drinks - Hubby and I really enjoyed our drinks. I got La dama. He got the mango mojito. And my daughter also liked her strawberry lemonade. My favorite thing was the corn salad, but it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good! Service - 10/10. Everyone was so attentive and they made sure I got good footage for my blog. They kept our glasses full as well. Overall, try this place out! The flavors and customer service are truly amazing. They're going to need a bigger location soon!“
