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!“

“Christan gave amazing customer service from coming into the doors made it an amazing atmosphere to be in as well as the other staff, there were very nice and helpful whenever you would ask for something they will help you real quick. Would come to this location again.“

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

“District Taco was nice, clean, and in a good location. The food was good, but overall I found it somewhat expensive for what you get. The menu felt pretty basic, and I was surprised that the burritos didn’t come with rice and beans, or nachos on the side.

You also have to ask for salsa and sour cream since there isn’t a salsa bar, which I would have preferred. There were also quite a few people standing around waiting for To-Go orders, which made the atmosphere feel a little crowded and was somewhat annoying.

Overall, I’d say it was an average-to-good experience, but definitely not a GREAT one. I gave it 4 stars for the effort and the overall cleanliness and location, but there’s room for improvement in the food value and service experience.“

“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!“

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

“Good service, great food!“

“The best taco spot around.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Top tier flavor!!! The food at Big Papi's is excellent. Everything we ate was cooked fresh, hot and packed with flavor- the burrito, tacos, quesadillas were all so delicious and the hot sauce and house sauces on the side added even more flavor. Portions are huge, too, so it was worth every dime. We sat in their dining area for almost two hours with our meal and could've stayed longer because the vibes are immaculate. Staff was awesome - we felt very welcome here. Great location in Rockville Town Square with plenty of street and garage parking around. I highly recommend Big Papi's and will definitely eat here again!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 fish tacos are so good—the sauce has a great sweet and sour balance, and the grilled fish smells amazing. The pulled pork sandwich is super tender, the sauce isn't too sweet, and the toasted bread is perfect. Staff is friendly.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“I thought it was good and I really like it“

“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.“

“Quick table and good food“

“Good service, great food!“

“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.“

“Good service ,,friendly people“

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

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

“good food --- many choices“

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

“The food here is amazing. The atmosphere is wonderful and (to my knowledge) this is authentic Salvadoran food. The rotisserie chicken was the star of the show. I got half a bird with rice and plantains. I made a rookie mistake and got 4 hot sauces instead of the 2 hots and 2 milds. Definitely start with the mild unless you really like the heat. The skin was so crispy and the chicken breast were juicy. The music and the smell of charcoal is the best part. I would recommend calling in your order or placing it online. I waited about 15 minutes for my bird, but it was worth it because I knew it was fresh. I will definitely check this place out again in the future.“

“always consistently good food“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Overall going here consistently everything is great however something I noticed is that the verde is not being properly made the cilantro is supposed to be blended 4ozs of cilantro salt and 1 bag of verde every time I see it it is looking like someone just finely chopped cilantro and mixed it in. Highly recommend fixing asap to keep quality up.“

“Excelente lugar para disfrutar de unos deliciosos tacos son verdaderamente deliciosos“

“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 👌👌“

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