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 grabbed eight tacos to go and they were all delicious but what caught me by surprise was the restaurant. Even though I just got takeout, I receive great service and the vibe in here is so fun. This is a perfect place to come for happy hour or dinner or a brunch with the family. I highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“The food was great, I had a California burrito and my wife had the quesadillas. Both meals were excellent and Christian did an excellent job preparing our food. He was clean, fast, gave good portions, and was very kind. Will totally go back again.“

“Love stopping by for a quick, fresh meal! The chips and guac here are a standout — creamy, flavorful, and perfect to share while you wait. Their veg rice bowl is tasty and customizable with lots of fresh toppings, and the guacamole adds a great creamy boost to every bite. A solid casual spot for Mexican-inspired eats with good portion sizes and vibrant flavors.“

“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!“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

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

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

“The best taco spot around.“

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

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Good service, great food!“

“First time here with the family. Loved the food. Everyone enjoyed the food. Place was clean and the service was very good. I left off 1 star for atmosphere only because of the music. I'm a Hip Hop head and I enjoyed it. My wife and I talked about other families with younger kids. The music was not something you want to hear if you have young kids or non hip hop fans for that matter. Maybe try the radio version. The owners are well within their right to play what they want so just take this as some friendly advice.“

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

“Today I came to try district taco for the first time.. I was genuinely pleased with how moises treated me and gave me recommendations. I had the california burrito and it was very good, I wasn’t in any rush but I was satisfied with the short wait time. definitely recommend and I will be coming here more often.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very nice 👍 and delicious“

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

“We stopped by this Salvadorian-Mexican restaurant for breakfast and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

I ordered the Salvadorian típico, which came with scrambled eggs mixed with shredded beef, sweet plantains, and traditional sides. Everything was well seasoned and cooked just right. We also tried the cheese pupusas, and they were excellent. Hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. The coffee was really good and completed the breakfast.

Customer service also stood out. The cashier was friendly, polite, and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Overall, everything was on point. From the food to the service, this is a great spot if you are looking for authentic Salvadorian food or a solid breakfast. We will definitely be back.“

“Food is great; it's just way overpriced. Each time you go there, you get less and less protein and more filler. Used to get 3 blackened fish, now its down to 2 (heck, it might be just 1 by now). Not worth the value. Used to go all the time, now, not so much.“

“We went there for brunch on valentines day , it was easy to find and parking wasn’t bad. We sat inside since it was a little cold outside . Our orders came about 10 minutes after we ordered, so did my wife’s drink, she had a pink cocktail ( vence el amor ) it tasted good, I had a tamarind soda. When it comes to the food it tasted very good and homemade. My wife had enfrijoladas con chorizo and I had plantains with Arrachera mixta pollo y carne. It tasted great and both were really filling. I was surprised at the way they cut the plantains, it was unique and very good too. My plate came with some beans and tortillas , i had a hard time finishing the whole thing ! It was a lot !!!! We also took a tres leche to go. It was delicious! Overall we enjoyed our food, we would recommend them to have more artwork on the walls or drawings because the white paint is highlighting the fingerprints and stains .“

“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.“

“Thank you. The food was delicious 😊“

“Like six years ago, this place used to be a Carne Asada grill. They had the best Carne Asada you could imagine with a lot of fat on the meat. Now it’s a burrito place, which is still very good! I am wondering, what happened to the old owner? Is it the same ownership?“

“Quick table and good food“

“always consistently good food“

“Food was super delicious! 100% recommended and a 5 ⭐️ rating!“

“We had a wonderful experience at La Fogata Grill. I had a poblano chili stuffed with beef, raisins, almonds, pomegranate seeds and served with walnut cream sauce. Really unique and delicious. My husband had the mole enchiladas. He loved it. Service was excellent! We will definitely eat here again.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 👌👌“
