“Rode past this restaurant for three years and finally decided to try it today.The prices were reasonable and the food was really good.My only dislikes were that the salsa was too runny, the onions were too big and the beans were puree’d. However, I will be returning for sure!“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Los Caballeros for their weekend brunch and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience.As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff and the owner himself. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and had a laid-back vibe, perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.Now let's talk about the food. Los Caballeros proved to be a pleasant surprise. They were able to accommodate options for vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians. But what truly stole the show for me were the drinks. I highly recommend trying their pitcher of tamarindo margarita. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and definitely hit the spot. They also had other options like mimosas and bloody marys for those who prefer a classic brunch drink.The owner, who was also our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. He made sure we were enjoying our meal and even gave us some recommendations for their signature dishes. It was evident that he takes great pride in his restaurant and wants his customers to have a memorable experience.To end our brunch on a sweet note, we decided to try their dessert. And let me tell you, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, my experience at Los Caballeros was exceptional. From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend checking them out for their weekend brunch or even for a regular meal. The owner and his team have truly created a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for their customers. So next time you're in the mood for some delicious food, head over to Los Caballeros and treat yourself to a delightful brunch. You won't regret it.Parking: This area of parking gets very busy due to being right beside the area of the Capitol.“
“Great Breakfast Taco!Visited this place on a Saturday around 11:30 AM. There was a line and we waited about 25 minutes before ordering. Once we ordered, we got the Tacos relatively fast ~5 minutes.I like that the menu is not too broad. These are breakfast tacos, all of them with a soft flour tortilla. They serve 8 different Tacos. I did not know if the tacos were big and I was hungry so I went big and ordered 6. In the end I was able to eat just 4 of them.I think the salsa is something they can improve. I am not fan of the creamy salsas so the cilantro was meh. The charred tomato was just OK.If I come back I would do just 3 and it has to be: 956, Tio Willie and 513.Vegetarian options: There is a Bean Taco: El Frijolito. Not that good.“
“The food was amazing! Very delicious, huge portions, interesting take on texmex. Great job ??Service was friendly, but unprofessional. First they made us wait for a booked! table for a half an hour, they they forgot to bring sides… hope it was only our experience, and they usually do better ??♂️“
“This past weekend I hosted a birthday party at Mission Navy Yard. The staff was fantastic, providing my group with a private room, bartender, bathroom, and outside patio area. Mission Navy Yard responded to all emails and questions promptly and we experienced no issues throughout our experience. Would definitely recommend!“
“Service was excellent. The food isn’t bad either. I need to give them a try because I got something out of the ordinary. If you end up getting fries like I did, they’re terrific. A chimichanga is next on my list. It’s definitely worth the stop.“
“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.“
“Visited this place based on reviews. The place was very small with 4 tables and 8 chairs to sit and eat mostly functioning as a take out place/cloud kitchen. The food was great but not amazing. Their tacos had good options and the nachos were really nice.“
“We got the large frozen margaritas they are huge and delicious and well worth the price! We also got the tres leches which is one of the best in the dmv area. Highly recommend this place for anyone that wants a great margarita or great food and atmosphere!“
“Great place to stop for some delicious Mexican-style food while out and about touring Capitol Hill! Portions are large, staff is friendly, and lots of menu options are available. There are only about ten stools for inside dining but is convenient enough to grab as take out and picnic someplace along the hill. Taco salads, quesadillas, and pork tacos are amazing!“
“Happened past on a Tuesday at dinner time. I am so thankful we stopped in. The food was delicious, portion sizes were great, and it all came out hot. The atmosphere was phenomenal and the staff from start to finish were friendly and professional. This will be a favorite location and I can't wait to share with visiting family and friends.“
“Uno Más is an authentic Mexican Kitchen. The service, food, prices, and hospitality is superb. The food is true, authentic, Mexican cuisine. While the atmosphere is not that of a 5 star restaurant the food, and drinks surely makes up for it all. 10/10 I recommend anyone who love Mexican cuisine to try Uno Más!!“
“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!“
“I've been a loyal customer of Las Placitas for over two decades! I've followed them from their old location to their new location here in Navy Yard. Their food never disappoints and it's a place you can come to whine down. Don Jose is the face of the restaurant and he's one of the main reasons I always come back! I couldn't recommend this place enough“
“Great food and great service! Love the chip and dips they served. I also love how servers were making sure that we had everything we needed. And when we asked for more additions toppings, they didn't hesitate to bring more! Definitely recommend the fajitas with steak! My new favorite!“
“My teenage son is rarely able to eat out at restaurants due to severe food allergies. We were thrilled at finding that he could safely order a delicious meal from Surfside Taco Stand! Many thanks to the staff and cooks who made his evening really special! @ Surfside Taco Stand - The Wharf - 33 District Square SouthwestDietary restrictions: The staff was super accommodating to my son's severe food allergies! They asked perceptive questions, double checked things, and gave good suggestions. So happy and grateful that he could eat safely! He ordered the plain chicken tacos with lettuce and cherry tomatoes. It also came with plain rice and a lime slice. [Allergies: eggs, dairy, soy, treenuts, peanut, sesame, legumes, wheat]“
“This neighborhood gem is still running strong! The service is great! The food exceeds expectations! They really did make us feel like family. Who knew this was still possible in 2024! PS, Best spot for people watching on the patio btw. Highly recommended!“
“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.“
“Parking wasn’t bad, but I might have gotten lucky. Worst case scenario, you park a 4-5 minute walk away.Was sat immediately. The place is HUGE. Don’t think that it’s not worth going if you don’t have a reservation.By huge, I mean 3 expansive floors, an outdoor seating area, and an indoor rooftop deck.I sat with a friend at the table furthest from the rooftop entrance. Cool view of the strip outside, and close to the bar.The food and drinks came out alarmingly fast. I had the crab and shrimp quesadilla, which quite literally came out in 4-5 minutes.The quesadilla had a good meat to cheese ratio (40:60) and was portioned well. It wasn’t soggy, which a lot of quesadillas have problems with, and paired well with the tomatoes, jalapeños and guacamole that came on the side. 10/10The chips and salsa that came on the house were standard. The chips could use seasoning, and the salsa was the watery type, which isn’t my favorite. 5/10The strawberry daiquiri was delicious- light, flavorful and fresh. 10/10The lemonade (with lime added) receives the same regards. Fresh, the right amount of tartness and sweetness. 10/10My friend’s review stats:Quesadilla- 8/10Margarita on the rocks- 10/10Chips and warm salsa- 9/10Service was efficient.“
“Only negative, really, was that the service was a little slow, but it was Monday. Still, no mistakes on what we ordered and everything came out quickly, hot, or cold as appropriate, and looked nice too.I haven't had enchiladas in years, and gave theirs a shot. Ordered the Cozumel Enchiladas and they were very good. Nicely caramelized cheese on the plate and the beans and rice were also very good. Excellent Mai Tai and a full pour on my beer.This place is large and has a sports bar vibe but the food a drinks are above average so don't worry about getting your money's worth here.10/10 would enchilada again“
“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!“
“We had an amazing experience at Los Tíos Grill in Crystal City! The food was delicious, with generous portions that satisfied both our appetites and cravings. The entrees and drinks were truly phenomenal - a perfect blend of flavors that left us wanting more.During our visit for a work event with family in tow, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. They were friendly, understanding, and treated our dietary needs with the utmost care, as if we were their own family members.I highly recommend Los Tíos Grill to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. If you find yourself in the area, do not miss the chance to visit this gem of a restaurant!“
“Such a great neighborhood gem. The food is good and the atmosphere is cute and quaint. My only gripe is that on the website, it states the restaurant closes at 9pm/9:30pm. However, it’s more like 7:30pm! It always closes early for many different reasons and if you walk in to dine at 7:15pm, they’re looking at you crazy or May tell you that you can only order takeout. I wish they’d just change the times!“
“Discovering this spot was a pleasant surprise during the time I lived in DC. Offering authentic Mexican cuisine, it provides a taste of Mexico right in the heart of the city.Beyond the food, the service was friendly and attentive, adding to the enjoyable experience. Additionally, the restaurant maintains a clean and welcoming atmosphere.“
“This place is in the middle of an alley. Came in wanting a burrito but got confused by the “WDB” acronym special with random ingredients so I called an audible and got Steak Chimichuri, later realized that meant “Well Dressed Burrito”. The music was chaotic. Food was great. Vibes were immaculate. 10/10 would do “
“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“
“My husband and I decided to give this place a try after a day at the zoo and we are glad we did. The owners and bartender were very welcoming and gave great service. The food and drinks were fantastic. Happy hour is from 3pm until 9pm. They have $5.00 margaritas and mojitos along with other adult beverages available at great prices. There is also a nice selection of food during happy hour for $10.00. The regular menu is also very reasonably priced. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed for about 3 hours chatting with the owners and our bartender. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable, almost like being at home. If we lived in D.C. this would be our regular spot. We will definitely be back every time we visit D.C. I highly recommend this place!“
“Came on a Friday night and I can say this location is the best one I’ve been to so far. The Dominican manager is the best! I requested to change my drink mid-meal and he was so accommodating. Definitely recommend this location, food, vibes, and service is 10/10!“
“We are from South Texas - so I know good Tex-Mex. Love the flavors that we get from UJ's! Always delicious and always hot/fresh! We actually haven't ever eaten in the restaurant-just take out. But who we HAVE interacted with have been friendly. Tip: if you want refried charro beans you can ask for them. ;)“
“An amazing small burrito joint! Definitely call it a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. They don’t have a ton of options, but what they have is absolutely delicious! Not a place where you dine in, but there is a park nearby where you can eat.Vegetarian options: They have the traditional Latin American vegetarian optionsWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. They have stairs at both entrances, but this shop is doing what it can with the limited space“
“Had their signature burrito. It was delicious. Cost was about $10; a couple of days before I paid $15 for a really terrible one from the DC food trucks. My daughter had bubble tea from a different spot in this food court that was also way better and cheaper than food truck. My conclusion is skip the food trucks and head over here and you will do much better.“
“Went with some friends for a great dinner.Solid food. Solid service. Excellent drinks. Quick kitchen. Never disappoints after over 20 years of visits. Great value for the money. (When most corporate restaurants are artificially jacking up prices by 30 to 50 percent, this place is more reasonable.)Parking is tight here though, take a long walk after taking Metro or get an Uber.“
“I simply don't have enough words to describe the amazing experience I had at Ricos Tacos Moya. From the moment you walk in, you feel at home thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service is first class; The staff are extremely attentive and friendly, always making sure you feel comfortable and well looked after. The atmosphere is unmatched with music that makes you feel like you are on vacation in a tropical paradise. And not to mention the food: each dish is a masterpiece of flavor, with fresh and authentic ingredients that transport you directly to Mexico. It's an explosion of flavor in every bite! This place is a hidden gem that offers a complete experience, from the setting to the food and service. Not only are they specialists in Mexican cuisine, but they are also experts in making their customers feel good. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, Ricos Tacos Moya is the place to be!“
“Mixed bag: dinner food was great (best Guac I've had in DC actually and birria de res soup was filling and bountiful). The service was also very good and attentive, and the music in the patio was perfect. I really liked a lot about the place, so it was a bummer that the patio is littered with trash and looks pretty scrappy -- it and the bathroom could use some regular TLC. If they got someone to keep the space spruced up, their food was good enough to compete with other popular Mexican spots in the city. Second what everyone says about the habanero sauce. Delish!“
“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.“
