50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Burtonsville

“I enjoy coming to this Chipotle because it's conveniently close to home, and the employees are always friendly and welcoming. The team consistently provides generous portions, keeps the restaurant clean, and makes sure everything is well-stocked.

A special shoutout to Gabriel, Sonya, Rogelio, Katerin, and Stephanie for their outstanding customer service. Their positive attitudes and dedication really make a difference. Keep up the great work!“

“Atmosphere - this is the neighborhood Taco Bell. It is clean and conveniently located. I like the mix of people just going about their day and have had some nice interactions with other customers - taking turns for soda, holding doors for each other, etc.

Service - no issues. Employees are either friendly or just quietly professional. I appreciate the work they do even if it isn't glorious. I try to remember to say yes to the college fund donation as a small way to show that.

Food - it's Taco Bell. The food is consistent and filling. It is a great alternative to typical burger places. I like having easy options my kids are happy with and the power bowls are a solid choice for me.“

“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!“

“I have been coming here for years. The food is great.“

“The Cadillac margarita was amazing and so was the chicken burrito bowl! The staff was very attentive and the food was priced well. very authentic and very amazing! 5 stars!!“

“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“

“DMV Taqueria food truck is highly recommended! It’s smart to call in your order as they’ve grown in popularity as the word’s gotten out. My neighbor loves their chicken quesadillas. My favorite is the shrimp quesadillas, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I understand the churros are a favorite too, though I’ve not personally tried them. The drive home is brutal. The food smells so amazing, I can’t park the car fast enough. 5⭐️“

“After moving from Florida I have been tirelessly searching for a good taco place in Maryland. I was so happy to find Tacos A La Madre! When you go inside it is very under decorated, but clean and they have a good sense of branding with their black and yellow color scheme. The tacos are amazing, flavorful, and consistent every time I go. The ingredients taste fresh. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the shrimp tacos and the birria tacos! 🌮 This is our new go-to taco place. You have to go- you won’t be disappointed.“

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

“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.“

“So so good. If you’re over near IKEA highly recommend this place. We got burritos and some of the best we’ve had out of California. I got the azada and my husband got the carnitas. The tortillas are fresh and everything is distributed perfectly. We’ll be back!“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“A perfect Friday night! Our server, Gabriela had the best vibe! We were outside on the patio with an in-house blueberry lemonade, tearing up the Salmon Brava. And my mama (a devoted regular) swears by the Cadillac margarita paired with Tres Michelen and Boom Boom Tostadas!!!“

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

“Great 🌮 and 🌯 chips and 🥑 they are on 🔥🔥“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic 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.“

“I placed a pick-up order through Uber Eats, but the app glitched and placed the order at the wrong location (this location, in Laurel). I called and the staff at this Bubbakoo’s were very helpful and prompt in contacting Uber to cancel my order, despite the fact that Uber is notoriously difficult to work with. I really appreciated their effort!“

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

“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!“

“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 👌👌“

“Excellent.“

“Food is fantastic! Highly recommend!“

“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 😍“

“Every Sunday I buy food for my employees. I've eaten there before and the food is excellent. But for the past few Sundays it hasn't been as good as it used to be. The rice and bean sides that come with the fajitas are getting smaller and smaller. And when I ordered an extra side, they sent me a super small portion. We really like the food and hope they improve.“

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“

“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!“

“My son and I visited El Golfo Restaurant last weekend. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu options. Our meals were generously sized and delicious. Live music was playing and a nice addition to the atmosphere. We would highly recommend this authentic and reasonably priced restaurant.“

“delicioso 🔥😚🙏🙏 lo recomiendo al 100% ,Ricas las pupusas y los tacos igual“

“No muy bien siempre. Me gusta comer allí pero. Cuando ordeno para llevar siempre pido mis tacos sin sebolla y sin silantro. Y siempre me le ponen. Y. No entiendo porque si claramente digo sin sebolla. Ni silantro. eso me molesta porque mis hijos no los comen y solo se echan aperder deberían de. Ser más atentos ala orden. Que uno ase“

“Food was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Easy & convenient place to stop for a bite.“

“Food is Ok but the restaurant needs a good cleaning would be very nice if it was cleaned properly“

“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“

“Loving the quesadillas, guacamole and tacos so far. The crispy shrimp tacos were my fav.“

“Been here a couple times. Waitstaff always super friendly and attentive. Large selection of food items that include the standard of what you'd expect from a Tex/Mex place. Menu also has some Salvadoran specialties that I've enjoyed each time.There isn't a lot of cost put into the atmosphere and fixtures of the restaurant, but if you are looking for some good food and service, this place is very consistent and remains one of my gotos.“

“Delicious food and great service. A good space to catch up with a friend or watch a game.“
