Mexican Restaurants near Potomac

“The food was good menu selection was good and the service was excellent. This is my first time eating in the Potomac location and I must say that I was quite surprised by the service and menu selection considering that my experience in the north Bethesda location was really awful. Thank you, Potomac gringos and mariachis for restoring my confidence and your food and brand.“

“I love California Tortilla and this place didn't disappoint! The steak fajita burrito was delicious. The Coke from the machine was off, but I'll chock it up to a mistake. Someone probably put the wrong bag in the regular spot, it tasted like cherry. The sauce wall has some pretty amazing sauces and to-go containers. Will definitely be back!“

“I felt compelled to leave this review bc when I asked for a side of salad dressing, David picked one up and realized there was a better one and gave me the better one instead. That means a lot to me bc he clearly has the golden rule instilled and that is rare. Thank you David!“

“We got our food to go since the place is on the small side but the food did not disappoint. The sopes were delicious and the torta chingona was amazing. The torta can definitely Can be shared with another person since it’s on the big side (I think it was obvious from the name) I’ll definitely return!“

“The interior is very cool, sever was courteous. Service is quick. When it comes to the food itself: I'm on the fence. We ordered several appetizers and main dishes; we liked some and not others. Because it's an Indian Mexican fusion place, the Indian flavors over power any Mexican ones. So, it's up to the customer's taste.“

“The food here was delicious!! Such bold flavors, not overbearing, just present in the right amounts. Perfectly balanced and fresh. Dax was our server. Very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. FTI: At the moment there's construction happening that obscures the location a bit. We definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“This is a very good taco truck experience in Arlington, VA. The first time I visited was a Sunday evening and surprisingly the truck had a line of customers waiting to be served. To me this was a good indication that prepare good food. The ordering process was simple and where the truck is stationed there are a couple picnic tables off to the side for customers to eat their food on-site. The tacos here are delicious. I've tried their Asada and Pastor tacos, both of which are delicious and had all of the appropriate Mexican flavors you'd expect. I've also tried their quesadillas. On two separate occasions I ordered the chicken quesadilla and both times they were delicious. More importantly the way in which the quesadillas were prepared was consistent both times. What I like about their quesadillas is they just don't load them with melty cheese for the visual effect. It seems they use a Mexican blend cheese and an adequate amount. The flavor is present which I appreciate most. This isn't the normal cheesy quesadilla that is flavorless. Overall a very good experience. Give them a try.“

“I ordered the 3 beef tacos (tacos de Birria) that came with a consommé. Amazing. Service was fast and friendly. They are doing some facade changes out front, landlord? My husband had the chicken enchiladas and he really liked them. They give a green sauce with the chips that was very tasty. I would definitely come here 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!“

“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.“

“Always a treat to come to this place, the food is always excellent as well as their service.Parking: A bit of an issue turning coming from north of 355 uou may have to make a u turn during rush hour, but coming from south 355 its easyWheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible.“

“Our new favorite taco spot, hands down. Came down to Gaithersburg to go to an unrelated shop which was unfortunately closed; a bit bummed, we looked around, and found this absolute gem.My SO says the SOB tacos remind her of a good, home cooked meal, and I found the chicken reuben to be just as excellent, juicy without being sloppy.My SO also said the margarita was as close to perfect as possible, and I thought the aviation tasted excellent as well.I’m really glad the other place we initially came to this area for was closed, else we may not have stumbled onto S&G. Great food, everyone was friendly. Bit of a drive for folks close to Baltimore (like us), but we’re going to start making it, because this place is THAT good.Parking: Parking on Main Street is competitive during busy hours, but it’s free, and you should be able to find parking within a block or so.“

“The food at this place is out of this world and probably one of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. The service was impeccable. Our server Flora could not be more attentive and sweet. We will definitively come back next time we visit our son in college.“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant. We tried their 3 vegan tacos. One with veggies (onion and peppers), one with mushrooms, and one with a vegan chorizo. All were delicious. The side sauces were also really good. One was pretty spicy, but had a nice flavor.“

“The best taco places are the ones you don’t expect. Inside of a gas station/ liquor store, but still has seating inside and out. Great portions for the price! Staff was friendly, quick and efficient. Parking is tricky, especially when it’s busy, but it’s worth it! Definitely will be back again.“

“Qué rico! ? This Mexican food is absolutely divine! The flavors are so vibrant and authentic, it's like a taste explosion in my mouth! The tortillas are perfectly handmade, the meats are tender and juicy, and the sauces are rich and bold. And the presentation? ¡Es una obra de arte! ? Every dish is a masterpiece, a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. I could eat here every day and never get tired of it. The service is also top-notch, friendly and attentive. ¡Viva la comida mexicana! ?? Five stars isn't enough, this place deserves a million! ?“

“We love Guapo’s and come here often. Wait times are long but sometimes you get lucky. The drinks and food are delicious. However I had my first bad experience with a waiter this weekend. I paid the bill with my card and was going to leave a cash tip, the lady saw me select “no tip” and told me “tip is not included” …. I know how tipping works and it should never be excepted but appreciated. It left a sour taste. Especially given we always TIP well. Made me not want to leave anything at all. Very unprofessional!“

“Great halal place. Just a suggestion to put out the halal zabiha certificate somewhere it’s visible to your customer. We asked the cashier whether it’s halal. She said everything in the menu is halal. She also provided the owner’s name.Anyways, tacos were delicious. They were loaded with ingredients and flavor. Just wondering, why only soft tacos? Why not crunchy tacos also? Quesedillas was tasty. Churos were so yummy?. I enjoyed every bite of it. They were crunchy from outside and soft and creamy from inside. I highly recommend this place. I will be going there again and again.“

“I came to your establishment this month to celebrate my birthday and I had an amazing waitress named Danielle who made me and my table feel special and then the manager on duty Emmanuel Winston topped off her services with his and brought me cheese cake for my birthday between the both of them I gladly give you and them 7 stars because 5 stars isn't enoughWheelchair accessibility: Wide isles“

“Great authentic local taqueria that doesn't break the bank. Love their burritos, the original and California one. I'd chose it over Chipotle any day. The first time my coworkers and I went to dine in, we caw boxes of fresh avocados coming in. This is an authentic and great joint that uses fresh ingredients.“

“Although it was mostly empty when we visited on a weekday evening, the venue and convenient location are appealing. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to like. Being first time here, and not knowing the regular portions and size of the chicken, we ordered the whole chicken family meal with 3 sides. It was much more than we could handle. The chicken was good. I think he gave us an extra piece (leftover?) and perhaps that's why we had so much. The Brussels Sprouts was the star of the place - sweet and savory, delicious. 5 stars! We changed our mind at the last minute, and decided to eat in. Can't say it's the cold temperature, but the chicken was cold to the touch for some reason. Maybe it was the extra piece we got. Regardless, it's worth a trip, and will visit again when I have a craving for Peruvian cuisine.“

“I've been coming here for what 3? 5? 6 years now? I always get the same thing and it's always perfect. There's one thing can be said for amazing food, it's a completely different thing when talking about amazing consistency. I've never, ever had a steak quesadilla or sangria as amazing as they make them here. It's simple, steak, cheese, and tortilla. It's so simple, but the flavors and taste are simply unmatched. Perfection. Service is just AMAZING. I think the phrase comfort food gets thrown around quite a bit, but I make a point to come 2-4 times a month because as I described to my partner, the food just evokes emotion. Reassurance, acceptance, warmth, winning, and just contentment, when I get a steak quesadilla from Guapos on Wisconsin Ave, I just know whatever is going on in my life, it's going to be okay.The sangria is unmatched. I tried various sangrias around D.C. and this is definitely my number 1. Their Tres Leches cake is also a treat when I'm in the mood for dessert.“

“The interior decoration is amazing, creating an exotic and lovely dining experience.The waiters were super helpful. We were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, and told him what we’re looking for. All the recommendations we got are amazing!Absolutely love the Mole Bueno - the special Mexican sauce is just yummy! Also love their salsa sauce that goes with the chips - we prob have way too much chips than we should.Caramelized bananas are a very nice touch to end the meal.“

“La Unión restaurant is one of the best in the area. The food is always on point and the service is top notch. I usually order the shrimp dishes (camarones entomatados or camarones en crema). Yum! Really, anything you order will not disappoint. Run, don’t walk! 10/10Kid-friendliness: La Unión is family and kid friendly! Great atmosphere to bring the entire family to share memories while enjoying great food.“

“We stumbled upon Taco Rock one day while shopping and went for lunch. About 5 hours later we went back for dinner! If that doesn't tell you how great this place is, I don't know what will.The atmosphere is great! Everything from '80s videos to today's, fun to watch along with several TVs. Usually with sports. The music's not too loud that you can't have a conversation.The menu is actually quite expansive, more than just tacos.. They have everything from basic tacos to more complex and fusion type tacos along with tortas, quesadillas, and even a taco salad bowl. And The joy of this place is you can eat a few tacos and a soda for less than 10 bucks. You can also go way beyond that with one of their appetizers like nachos, taco pizza, empanadas and more. The tortas and sandwiches are quite good but run a little expensive. I've yet to try the fajitas but see them often and people seem to enjoy them. Other than that, I think we've had everything on the menu!I'm at the Falls Church location weekly, and you actually start to see a lot of the same crowd there. It's not unusual to see families there with the parents on the bar side and the kids on the restaurant side. As far as the bar, it seems quite busy, but I've yet to really connect with a bartender there. Some are friendlier than others.The rest of the staff, however, are absolutely amazing. Everyone from the cooking crew who smiles and laughs but is 100% professional to the friendly and fast expediters to Mario, the master of Quality Control ensuring your leal is not only accurate but beautiful to look at, he is rhe glue that keeps the whole place together.You can't go wrong with Taco Rock!Vegetarian options: The fried avocado, balsamic mushroom, and my personal favorite. The cauliflower tacos are amazing.“

“Great place. Lively atmosphere. Happy-hour vibes. Taco alternatives. But slow bar service. And I'm not a fan of ordering drinks from the main cashier. If I'm only drinking, then food service should be separated from drinks. Just my opinion to help speed up customer wait times.“

“I love this place. I will forget about it for a few weeks and then visit and remember how much I love it. The food is excellent, the drinks are good (Michelada is my go-to), and I've always had great service. My favorites- puffy blue chips with queso, Key West fish taco, fried Avocado taco, and the Puffy beef taco. All delicious though, can't go wrong.“

“Guajillo is my go-to spot for awesome Mexican food! Seriously, I can’t believe I haven’t written about it sooner. Been here 7+ times and, it’s like a party! The salsa is always fresh, and they never disappoint with their tasty dishes.My kids are obsessed with the cheese quesadillas, and I can’t get enough of the sombrero salad. And guess what? The shrimp camarones Al ajillo? Pure yum! And do try the El Pepino!If you want to get some seriously good Mexican grub, Guajillo is the place to be. Trust me, you won’t regret it!“

“We have ordered to go a couple of times the service is fast and awesome! The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and how things are prepared! The food is phenomenal! It's so good and there is so much to try! We are definitely going to be long time customers!!!“

“Great hole in the wall spot on the second floor. Food is delicious - not too oily so tacos don't get soggy. Great range of menu options. The steak, beef, chicken are halal.Dietary restrictions: The meat (chicken, beef) is halalParking: Strip mall with lots of spots to park“

“Happy hour was packed and I thought I’d be waiting for a while for my drinks and food, but that was not the case. My beer came amazingly fast and my tacos were served soon afterwards and were delicious. I was just looking for a convenient place nearby my hotel, but it was so much more than I expected. I look forward to going again.“

“A Mexican restaurant with some surprises. One of us got cajun jambalaya. Not Mexican. Not bad. I wasn't looking for a touch of New Orleans, but they nailed the sauce, with chicken and shrimp cooked just right. Our other dishes were traditional: shrimp fajitas and chicken fajitas. Again properly cooked and seasoned. Plenty of components to add into the tortilla wrapper. We finished with tres leches dessert. Moist and sweet as it was designed. Is 4 stars harsh? I based it on other Mexican restaurants that are on this level. For 5 stars, I needed them to be a cut above.“

“Excellent mole- will definitely be back for it. Had the birria tacos which were perfect, fried and crunchy but not greasy- which is incredible given the generous amount of meat and Oaxaca cheese in the tacos. The service was very attentive and kind.“

“Best taco bamba in my opinion. Plenty of parking spots. Fast service. Food is goodVegetarian options: Depends on the menu, they have a coupleDietary restrictions: Ask the employee, they would be better helpParking: Open space parking lot, unique shopping center but enough parking spots if not the weekend or busy dayKid-friendliness: Clean and friendly environmentWheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible“

“We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Beautiful decoration, which transports us to our countries of origin. Delicious food and first-class service. Denise was very attentive and made very good suggestions.I definitely recommend Restaurante Acajutla and we hope to come again.“

“The only problem is the stop light but that won't stop me from getting my chicken burrito! The burrito is huge!! It's delicious and affordable and quick. Would like to try others as well that I have seen on the menuParking: Not much parking around lunch and dinner time“

“A bigger nicer patio after they renovated it. The indoor spacing is also pretty big and nice. The food was amazing, the cheese quesadilla was really good along with the fajitas which were also awesome. They have the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had. The service is always friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this is your place.“

“We were having dinner with friends in Bethesda, but got there early so we decided to stop by this place for a margarita before going to the dinner. We had some spicy skinny margaritas and chips and salsa. Both the margaritas and the chips were great. We cannot speak to the rest of the menu, but will likely come back to try it out.“

“This my Second time there and I must say HANDS DOWNN !!!! The best taco place in Bethesda no one has came close everything was well seasoned and just every bite just magnificent!!! very affordable as well and thanks to the cute guy behind the register he was very nice and “

“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“

“We were pleasantly surprised with this place - good food, great drinks, wonderful service - what’s not to like! The food came out fast (in a very full restaurant on a Friday night, mind you!) and it was good. Unlike some other Mexican restaurants we’ve been to, the house margarita in this place is a very good one, not watered down and had a good bit of tequila in it - so if you want to relax with family or friends after work one night, this is the place to be, we certainly enjoyed it!“

“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.“

“The sauces are yummy & I love that you can still get a high quality fast casual meal in Potomac for under $15. Corn tasted super fresh, steak was cooked perfectly tender. The rice bowls were very filling. I would definitely stop by again.“

“I love this place! I've only been for lunch and tried their salads and bowls, which are very tasty and portioned just right. The name is kind of misleading, because the menu is full of options that aren't tacos and don't have fish. They also have beer and margaritas.“

“The first time I came here was to celebrate my birthday with a few co-worker girlfriends. The girls told them it was my birthday and they came out sang to me ,(I can't recall if this is where I got to wear a sombrero while they sang). We had a good time.... Since then I have visited a few more times as it is in walking distance for me. It's a great place if you want to sip on a margarita on the patio which has a sort of tiki bar vibe at night with the lights...or come watch a match while eating the tasty Mexican & El Salvadoran cuisines. I've tired and enjoyed the ceviche, fajitas, pupusas and margaritas several times. I did not care for the nachos but it was a to-go order and sometimes that can really make a difference when you get nachos. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. I recommend stopping by!“
