Tex-Mex Restaurants near Fort Washington

“This is a great local spot that serves yummy margaritas! They were busy, when we were seated but the service was on point. They never forgot about us, and made sure we always had full drinks and fresh chips/salsa. The steak quesadilla was delicious!“

“Best Tex Mex restaurant in the Alexandria - Belle Haven area. This is my go to spot when I'm craving Tex Mex. Food: If you dine in, make sure to get the steak fajitas - you won't be disappointed. The fajitas come out sizzling out, and the steak is actually of great quality and comes topped with melted butter for an added taste. Recently, I've been binging their Birria Tacos which are very tasty, and comes with great sauces. Service: the service is absolutely fantastic. I was able to chat with the owner and he is a very down to earth and authentic himself, great to support our local small businesses! Ambience: It is very clean and they do a great job of spacing our guests when it's not peak hours. They play great music, and the main area can even get lively as the night progresses. If you search Mexican food in Alexandria, a few will come up that's highly rated - but trust me, 2 Jefes is at the top.“

“This was my first visit. I ordered a good amount of food to get a taste/feel of the restaurant, and I wasn’t disappointed. I had the crab enchiladas, southwest chicken egg rolls, and birria (idk how to spell it lol) ramen. I ordered in person, but wanted to eat at home so I had take out. Very clean and professional establishment. The customer service was nice, and I look forward to returning to get the dining in experience. I received great portions of each dish. The birria ramen was tasty, but my least favorite dish. That’s a matter of preference though. I believe someone else who enjoys birria may love it. I was just trying something new with that dish!Parking: Located in a shopping center with ample parking.“

“Im so excited about this place, i was devastated when Dos Amigos closed in Springfield, found out this morning out of desperation of why it closed that Dos Hermanos was opened with the same amazing Management from the Springfield location and immediately rushed over for lunch. This is what I have been missing in my life and Im so excited as everything is just as amazing from the food to the customer service. This is my now go to spot and I will be a repeated customer with all my family!!!!“

“There’s street parking which you sometimes have to pay for but there might be a parking lot too. Just not sure. Service is great in a lively, comfortable setting. The food is even better. I tried this location partly because it’s closer to my home but also for a new experience. I was not disappointed. We went there for an early lunch and to beat the crowd. Chips and salsa were great. I had the chorizo con huevos which was delicious and so much I couldn’t finish it all. My wife had the mojarra frita with shrimps on top with a butter garlic sauce. She raved about it.“

“I had previously reviewed this restaurant on yelp and the review has somehow been removed. Sad, because it was a 5-star review with a photo of the amazing birria torta that I ordered. It was perfectly toasted on the outside with a soft middle like it should be. And the flavor was amazing. That was my first visit. I've been back several times for takeout and dine in and I have never been disappointed. Last weekend, I met a friend for dine-in and was disappointed to see the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night. I want to stand outside waving a big sign to get people to stop in and see what they are missing. This last time, my friend ordered a taco salad -- all the ingredients were so fresh and the taco shell outside was perfectly crispy (muy importante for the salad). She and I both ordered a margarita -- which we both found to be pretty terrific. And the service is pretty outstanding. I hope this doesn't wane as the success of the restaurant increases. The staff is friendly and helpful and obviously engaged in the success of the business. I really do think the location is a deterrent. I've seen more than one restaurant fail in this location in the last few years. The inside is festive and welcoming and is a sharp contrast to the outside which is an easily-missed corner lot with a vape shop. Don't let the outside fool you -- just go! And support the presence of this full service dine-in restaurant in walking distance for Potomac Yard neighbors!“

“Smoked Pork Belly (Pictured): 5/5 was very good and tender fell off the fork with corona. My bunny got shrimp and steak Tacos (2) 4/5 decent size, they were good. (Not pictured) with tequila shot & modelo. Service: 5/5 she was very attentive they closed the kitchen but, she tried to get me a queso & chips. The only complaint I have they didn’t tell my boyfriend how much the tequila shot was. We will be back!“

“I've gotten tacos, Mexican pizza, and nachos here, and they were all good. The best part is the price! Tippy's is one of the few places left where you can still get a full meal for less than $10. It's nice to be able to eat out without being overcharged. The food was prepared pretty quickly and the person was nice enough.“

“I'm new to the Alexandria area and have been scoping out restaurants here and there in the area. No need to look any further, I've found my go to restaurant. Conveniently located by my local grocery store so I can shop then have a margarita and some taquitos. First time in this place I was greeted immediately and welcomed in with a friendly staff. The food and drinks here are right up my alley and Lilo took great care of me by keeping the drinks coming in a fast efficient manner at the bar. Officially a regular“

“This small restaurant is tucked away on Livingston Road by the LSW Liquor Store. Cozy and inviting, the restaurant is a great place to stop by for lunch or dinner. I had the grilled beef fajitas which was hot with beans, salad, and rice. Delicious and very satisfying at a reasonable price. I didn't take a photo but I will add a photo of the menu later. It specializes in Tex-Mex and Salvadorean food. I would highly recommend it. No frills, just good comfort food.“

“Our grandson’s end of season basketball team party was held at this Chilis. It could have been crazy like herding cats, but it wasn’t. The manager was so well organized! He had a room just for the team with tables set ahead of when we arrived. Promptly took our orders and delivered them quickly and accurately. Servers were great! Manager was amazing. Great experience!!Kid-friendliness: Great with kids!“
