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 😍“

“Chipotle is chipotle, if you've been to one you've been to all of them, HOWEVER this one has an employee that can be pretty heavy handed on the toppings which considering Chipotles current pricing metric is not something you will hear me complaining about.

Only minor complaint is that their were 4 employees crowded around online order station and no one at the register and it took a minute for me to be checked out but to be fair it was around the dinner rush so I can't really complain that hard.“

“I came to Tacombi for the first time for a work happy hour and we had a great time! Very happy with the food (delicious, fresh tacos), drinks (spicy margarita and watermelon tequila drink were a hit!), and the service was friendly and prompt. The open patio atmosphere added to to a lovely evening. Highly recommend!“

“Authentic, delicious Oaxacan food! The owners are so passionate – not only is the food spectacular but you will also come away knowing so much more about regional Mexican cuisine. DC has needed a restaurant like this for a loooooong time. Go eat there and support them as soon as possible!!!“

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Cristian and Tanika took great care of my Husband and I on his birthday. It was our first time here and the food was quick, fresh, delicious! The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We chose to dine in and I am glad that we did. Cristian was an absolute sweetheart and was very patient with us. Tanika was amazing and a great host and was very knowledgeable with a kind spirit. I am only coming to the Riverdale location from now on. Thanks team!“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Very nice place good flavor decent prices some may say it’s better than chipotle some say it’s not, my only gripe for me is I’ll avoid the onions not because I don’t like them but only because the chop is big and can overpower your food other than that yummy in my tummy“

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

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“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!“

“Good service, great food!“

“Visited San Pacho today and overall had a really solid experience. I had the quesadilla, and my friend got the California burrito—which comes loaded with fries inside and was honestly really good and filling. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer non-alcoholic slushies. I tried the guava one and it was so good, super refreshing and definitely a standout. I was a little surprised they don’t offer tacos, but the menu still has great options that hit the spot. The food, staff, and overall vibe were all on point—friendly service and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Only heads-up is parking can be a bit tricky on busier days, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great spot I’d definitely come back to.“

“The best taco spot around.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“First time going. I got the carnitas tacos and they were good. Better than a few other spots in the area. If they acclimate themselves to the customer demographics in that area they will do well.

The atmosphere is unique and feels a bit unfinished. More of an open space to sit. The music was too loud to enjoy a conversation with a friend but it can be a spot to watch the world cup for sure.

I recommend checking it out.“

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!“

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

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic—especially the tacos and fajitas. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and fast. A great spot for anyone craving quality Mexican food with warm hospitality. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“We ordered shrimp’s Ceviche, tacos de carne asada, tacos de carnitas and fried fish. Everything was very tasty and the atmosphere is very authentic. We can’t wait to go back to tray some other dishes!“

“I recently visited Oliva’s Kitchen Food & Fusion in Bethesda, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. It’s a small, locally owned spot that you might miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s definitely worth finding.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying without being overly heavy. The ingredients tasted high quality, and everything was well-balanced. And honestly—one thing that really stood out—they actually know how to wrap a burrito. That’s surprisingly hard to find on the East Coast, and it made the whole experience even better (no falling apart halfway through!).

What stood out most is how this place blends comfort food with a unique fusion twist. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food.

If you’re in Bethesda and want to support a small business while trying something different from the usual spots, I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Enjoyed a great meal at District Taco. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made to order with high-quality ingredients. The tacos are packed with flavor, the queso is excellent, and the variety of proteins and toppings makes it easy to customize your meal. Service is quick and friendly, making it a perfect option for a casual lunch or dinner. Consistently good food, generous portions, and great value. Definitely one of my go-to spots for tacos in the area.“

“A hidden gem in an industrial park of wonderful Salvadoran food.

I’ve sampled most of the menu and never been disappointed. Prices are great as well.

The Papusas are incredible, and they sling a mean breakfast burrito as well (get it with steak).

I almost don’t want to write a review lest people find out about my secret breakfast spot but these guys deserve every 5 star review.“

“Stopped here on the way from NJ to Richmond. Zero expectations so we didn't know what to expect. That said, we were pleasantly surprised and we really enjoyed this spot. Quick & easy, the guy at the counter was super helpful. Lots of people moving in & out. Bright and enjoyable space and all that.

This is not really a place we are likely to visit again due to location of where we live. But even in the area I would not hesitate to go back.“

“Very nice 👍 and delicious“

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

“The food was good quality, and on par with Mexican restaurants in the district. For some reason, restaurants in the DMV always make a good branzino, and Muchas Gracias is no exception. Although I didn’t try the tres leches, it looked absolutely amazing. The hole in the wall, narrow cantina atmosphere was really cool, and created a really interesting place to eat a meal. I had the fajitas (giving them a fair 7.5/10).

The best part of the dining experience was the service. Very, very attentive and understanding to our table, checking if the food was alright or if we needed any drinks, regularly coming to refill water. We did not feel forgotten.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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 .“

“I spent a couple hours here because my flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Cosmos were perfectly pink. (If they’re clear and red they’re not made correctly) and only $6 during Happy Hour. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, Cosmos I ordered the Bora Bora marinated chicken without the tortilla over rice. It was delicious! The chicken was so tender and tasty and all the flavors were wonderful. I also enjoyed watching the surfers on TV,. The waves relaxed me instead being stressed out over a delayed flight. Definitely recommend this place for its casual atmosphere and good food. Even if you don’t like Mexican!“

“The food was really good! They even have some rare dishes like Menudo. Don't expect much service when it's busy, and you might even need to wait a while, but it's okay. Parking can also be tight during weekends, cause street parking requires permit.“
