Mexican Restaurants near Aspen Hill

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“I like/love Chipotle! My mom and I ordered online for our meals, there was nothing to complain about. Me and my mom got burrito bowls and they were delicious! I also got tortilla chips with queso blanco but, the chips were stale. They either have them already fresh or sitting out for long periods of time. I like the place overall! Thank you for being a great restaurant!“

“Kinda unfair. Tried the esquites and the special tacos. Also had the watermelon Fresca and horchata. Liked the elote and drinks. The special tacos were okay. Meat was kinda plain. I'll try their regular menu next time because all that was tasty. Esquites had really nice smoky crema.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“Amazing food. Attentive staff. This place serves a delicious variety of Mexican foods, beverages, and the best flan I have ever tasted. Our favorites include Tlayudas with pork, Bistec con Salsa Pasilla, Pastor Tacos. You really can’t go wrong. The offer tasty aguas frescas, tasty libations, and that creamy flan I mentioned above. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Angel is a gentleman, and listens carefully in order to customize your experience. I really kind of hate to let everyone know about this hideaway in Wheaton, but I can’t stop bragging on them!“

“the food was amazing and delicious. I will be back!“

“I went to District Taco at the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. The menu has a variety of options to choose from, and luckily one of the staff there, Eimy, was really helpful with recommending what's most popular, as well as what she's personally grown to love. I'd definitely say I left satisfied. The vibes were good my whole time there, and there was very little wait time. I'll be going back and sharing it with those I know. Shout-out Emiy again, she hooked me up.“

“The chicken mole California burrito was really really good - specifically the tortilla and the mole and beans. Everything tasted homemade and delicious. The carnitas super burrito was also really well made and the guacamole was good.

The cold brew was the best cold brew I’ve tried (I’ve had about 10) - it was really chocolatey and delicious.

The reasons for 4 stars is that I didn’t like how the portions were a bit small for the price. The chips and guac was $12 and seemed to involve about 1 or 2 avocados.

The burritos were filling - appreciated and needed the salsa verde that came with them! But still a bit pricy.

These views might also be influenced by the fact I felt pressured by the card machine at the register to tip more than 20% before the food came. The first screen that pops up when paying has only 3 suggested tips: 25, 22, and 20% - the highest I’ve seen on one of these apps. In total it came to $63 for 2 burritos, 1 chips and guac, and 2 cold brew coffees including tip which feels very expensive. We also were accosted by wasps on the patio that tried to get into our food, so that’s a reason for the 4 star atmosphere.

Nevertheless I would recommend this place - if you’re not worried about the price and savvy enough to tip appropriately/not accidentally.

I am confident they are some of the best burritos you can get in the area, and cold brew!“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Ordered DoorDash from this place. I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the 3 tacos. 1 chicken 1 chorizo and the other carnitas. All 3 were good. Chicken was kind of bland. The carnitas was excellent. Only downside is that the tacos stick to the paper. The chicken quesadillas was good, but again the chicken was bland. Everything was packaged well. I’ll try them again“

“Good service, great food!“

“The best taco spot around.“

“La comida aquí es muy rica y el servicio de Diana es excelente, muy amable y muy atenta! Sin duda volveremos pronto! Lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“The food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the people were incredible. They wanted our dining experience to be enjoyable“

“A well kept secret in the city. It is a restaurant without much pretension, which offers good quality Mexican food with careful service. The space is small, so it is ideal to go as a couple or in small groups. The price-quality ratio is good.“

“Good service ,,friendly people“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“Very tasty food, pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. Will come back,“

“great staff and delicious food“

“Hidden gem! Parked to go into another restaurant then happened to see the orders this restaurant was bringing out, so switched gears and came here for lunch. Food was delicious: fresh, hot, tasty unique flavors. Fresh ice water available for paying customers which was nice. The staff was friendly and smiling, helpful, polite when our child was looking for the restroom and the tables were cleaned up fast which was nice as the tables were turned over quickly. Want to come back even though we don’t live close!“

“I've left a review before praising the quality of the tortillas here. I'm back to say if you're only getting the burrito you may be missing out. The empanadas and tamales are out of this world. Don't skip the aguas frescas either. This business has the best portion size/value in Takoma.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included in menu and pricing“

“Bar none the best lengua tacos on the planet…. Excellent beer selection and the staff is wonderful. Get here 🌮“

“Thank you. The food was delicious 😊“

“Good service, great food!“

“Quick table and good food“

“The food is amazing, if you want the best here is the place. Scott“

“Finally found a place that serves good tacos in the area! Pretty unassuming place tucked away but I was lucky to have found them. Great tacos, great gorditas, and spicy salsas. Honestly cant beat this place. Give the place a shot and support a small business!

Parking: Parking is not good here. They have a couple spots in the rear but its crowded with the body shop cars. Street parking is available and is probably your best bet.“

“Always great service /food/drinks we will always return“

“Definitely worth the wait. Took me a while to time a bike ride over to Bethesda as they are only open through (late) lunchtime hours but I am grateful I was able to make it.

I sampled the combo fajitas with steak and chicken, accompanied by peppers and onions, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and rice and beans. Everything was excellent, really good meat quality and well seasoned and grilled. Rice and beans were superb, authentic Mexican flavor.

I also squeezed in an Al Pastor taco and a Chorizo taco and both were very tasty. The Al Pastor was a lighter flavor, but really solid and nice they include the grilled pineapple as hoped. The chorizo is a chunkier variety, vs ground fine, and rich with flavor as well.

Staff is very polite and friendly, and will make modifications where they can.

Can't wait to return to try more items!“

“The team there is amazing, they are approachable and very helpful. It was our first time there, but they made it easier for us to pick a meal which was very tasty.“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

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

“good food --- many choices“

“Updated Review:

ive noticed that a alot of the members have improved there english since my first review, they have improved greatly in the service realm. Also the quality of the food is amazing for it's price. To describe it in simple terms is... It tastes like the staff care about the foods flavor. My usual meal costs 12-13 dollars.
Really helps me out (who is a struggling college student) get quality food. I'm so happy there not raising the price like othe restaurants are. If I order the same at Chipotle, I would pay 16-18, for less quality food that honestly tastes like cr*p. Compared to qdoba's 12-13, well portion food, and in generally better cooking.

One thing I want them to improve is to make breakfast last anther 30mins. There been a few times where I get there 10 mins late and breakfast is over.

Messenge to qdoba team:
I have moved your service from 2 stars to 4. 5 stars are reserved for like my favorite restaurants and I rarely hand them out in these reviews. So please note that you have 5 stars in the food. Which means you guys are my favorite place for quick Mexican food.“

“We ate in J&J when staying I the area. The food was fantastic. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.“

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“My family and I have been coming to El Azteca since I was little. The food and the service have always been excellent. When I think of going out for dinner with my family, I always picture El Azteca—always. Highly recommended 👌👌“

“Great staff, super hospitable and very personable with service. The food is fresh and tasty!“

“good service and very good Ford. 10/10 recommend.“

“More like fast food (i.e., no table service), than casual dining, with a corporate, somewhat sterile ambiance that carries over into the food. Taste and portions were.... Ok. Nothing more. Parking is tight, and strip mall location leaves something to be desired. A bit overpriced but still popular with families.“

“Muy bonito lugar familiar pequeño pero mucha calidad humana“

“always consistently good food“

“Stephannie helped me today and was a joy to speak to! The staff here are hard-working and kind people who make delicious burritos and tacos. I can’t stand how people would choose chipotle over this. The ingredients are undeniably fresh, authentic tastes, and mouth watering. I’ve been a fan since they opened in the late 2000s!“

“the food is delicious. the plate are serve with good amount of food. customer service os very kind. 100%“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food here. It's a nice alternative to Chipotle and Qdoba if you're looking for something new for fast Tex Mex food. Price is ok since they give you chips and free choice of salsa along with your food. It's also super quick with nice service.“
