“Cool restaurant with fresh, creative Mexican food. Wide variety of vegetarian and meat options. Friendly service. I couldn’t find anywhere to park and parked a ten minute walk away. Maybe there’s somewhere closer that I don’t know about. The new salad was super good and the pasole was good too.“
“Vera has completely won me over with their exceptional cuisine and inviting atmosphere. Let's talk about the branzino - it's an absolute game changer. Tender, flavorful, and simply to die for. If you visit Vera, make sure to try it - you won't regret it. And speaking of must-tries, their Dios Del Andes y Cedro cocktail is a personal favorite of mine. It's a delightful blend of flavors that truly impresses. And let's not forget about the guacamole - it's fresh, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a seafood aficionado or simply looking for a fantastic dining experience, Vera is a must-visit destination. And the service is always amazing.“
“Went here on a first date and it was a fun spot! It took a little while to get a table and the service was a tad on the slower side but they were super busy and it was a Friday night so it made sense! We both ordered margaritas on the rocks and they were delicious and a good size/strength, not too sweet. The app we got was chips and guac and it was a great size for the price. We also both ordered 3 tacos from the options listed, both of our favorites was the Al pastor. Only complaint here was that the plate was this like rock slab so as the tacos dripped there was not edge to catch it and our waiter took a bit to get us extra napkins. I believe they were recently featured in a Washington post article or something like that so they might've been super busy because of that! Also as an aside, we had to try one of the tacos with ants in it because that's a unique experience and they were much larger ants than expected! Not my taste and weirded me out a bit but cool that they have the option!“
“My first time trying this place, I was on my way to work running late...stop to grab tacos to go...but I sat down to eat just ONE taco and told myself I'll save the rest for work....a long story short, i ended up late for work because i couldnt stop eating the rest of my food...the food was so good i couldnt get UP, i had to finish the rest, it was so DELICIOUS...!!!! BEST TACOS IN LAUREL!! ?“
“My server, Aleidy, was open, pleasant and made great suggestions! We got the family style course was everything!!! I've been to many Mexican restaurants and this location exceeded my expectations. Every plate that came out was EXCELLENT!!!“
“If you love delicious, authentic food. You've found the place!Sabor Chapin Offers amazing service, delicious food I highly recommend the Carne Asada! Compared to other local Taquerias, Sabor Chapin has Columbia’s top most flavorful tacos, and Carne Asadas! Their pasta is absolutely delectable too. The best part you get exactly what you pay for and honestly more. I recommend Sabor Chapin to everyone and not one person has disagreed on how amazing the food is. Amazingly the man who runs the show is the chef himself!I so highly recommend and support his small business. I hope to see him open his restaurant soon.“
“We love this neighborhood gem. Excellent food (best nachos in DC, yummy tacos, and delicious plantains), great drinks, wonderful staff. I'm only removing one star because they often run out of michelada mix, which is my favorite. But otherwise highly recommend.“
“The staff is amazing, I want to big up Donovan, he is an amazing waiter, bartender and salesman. I would love to see a “day party” aspect of JP’s upstairs if at all possible. We usually come every Saturday after our Volo games and would love to listen to music and possibly dance after our Volo games, just a thought. Thank You!“
“My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday at El Aguila this weekend and we had so much fun! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, the workers were organized and served the food to 64 guests quickly and without any problems. I would recommend El Aguila to those looking to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant has plenty of space for events large or small. Guadalupe really did a great job communicating from the beginning of the reservation to the end. Thank you for making this day even more special!My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday in El Aguila this weekend and we had a lot of fun!

“These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because they are STINGY with the sauces and with the family tacos deals they force you to choose 3 meats which limits people like me who don’t eat pork or beef.“
“I dropped in on an early Monday evening for take-out and had a drink while I waited. They have some pretty awesome menu items and it was quite difficult for me to chose. I opted for the veggie chimichanga. I ordered a margarita, snacked on some chips and delicious salsa and enjoyed the wait. After I dug in at home, I was pleasantly pleased with the presentation of my food along with the tastiness. It was amazing! I couldn't believe I've lived in the area my whole young adult years and never been there! Definitely a place to keep in your pocket!“
“Food is absolutely AMAZING. The only 2 things: Resturant is extremely small and tight. Everyone that came in was getting TO GO orders, and they only had 1 or 2 waiters for the whole restaurant. I get that it's small, and the 2 waiters they have are good, but they are the only 2, and they can't do everything for everyone so waiting to order or get drinks, silverware is a little challenging especially if the restaurant is busy!“
“Consistently fantastic! This Latin restaurant never disappoints with its delicious and authentic cuisine. From mouthwatering empanadas to flavorful arroz con pollo, every dish is a winner. The ambiance is inviting, the service is excellent, and the flavors always hit the spot. A must-visit for any food lover! 15+ years and still DELICIOUS“
“Had a great happy hour at Tequila & Mezcal! $8 mezcalitas, $10 tacos (3 per order), etc. the tacos were really good as well! The chicken was deceptively strong, and the Al Pastor was delish. I’d 100% come back again to try more of their delicious food.“
“Stopped in on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. We ordered chicken flautas and a quesabirria. The food was incredibly delicious and now I have three flautas left for lunch tomorrow. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!“
“This use to be the old Applebees I think but it's handling it's business very well! It's Sunday and not a table around! The bar was stocked with patrons but our wait was t long at all. Once seated a very nice waitress approached and gave us menus. We asked for recommendations and I really like that she took the time to ask us what was our preferred choice of spirits so she could offer us something based on our preferences-BIG KUDOS! My selection of the Cancun Margarita didn't disappoint! It comes in an actual pineapple with plenty of liquor but not overpowering! The guacamole was supposed to be made table side but it was so crowded she couldn't get down the aisle with her cart! Although I like that experience as you're able to ask them to add a little more lemon or such/such but it was GREAT! We chose the queso with ground beef but that isn't anything special with that. I did see a Snapper on another table that I want to try with my next visit! Parking is great(in the shopping center lot) prices are reasonable and the staff all seem to care. Everyone chipped in on duties the manager even came around to tables thanking patrons for being there. Bathrooms were clean and easily accessible even under the influence of 2 of those drinks(had a little stumble ) and oh yes they sneak up on you so don't be like me and choose more than you should. Overall, I can see myself driving back here for happy hours or even a late night meal! Another table had some Mexican Candy shits( these weren't regular shots though) those WILL definitely be the first drink on the next visit!“
“This place is neither an Indian nor a Mexican restaurant. The people who work here are mostly Mexican/Latin Americans (I didn't see any Indian Americans working here) but the food has Indian influence(the keyword is "influence"). So take it for what it is, It's good for a cheap quick bite but that's about it. Don't expect anything more than that. If I had half a star I would give this a 4.5 but I believe 4 stars is not too harsh either.“
“THE BEST Mexican food you are going to find in Maryland! I have been coming here almost everyday for my lunch just to try a different dish and every single one has been DELICIOUS and authentic! I am so happy to find this here considering I have moved here from Calirfornia!!! This is amazing“
“I was craving empanadas and got the cheesy beef empanadas. No regrets there, they were truly excellent. The worst part was they were ready so fast by the time I picked them up they had cooled a bit. Came with chips and salsa. The chips were seasoned and the salsa had the right amount of kick to it. This was my first visit but it surely won't be my last.“
“If you're on a high horse, or you're not a genuine lover of humble people and establishments, don't even bother. This place is for the rest of us. Nothing fancy about this place. It's made like a coupling of large food trucks. Authentic Mexican food, ran like the spots in the Southwest and Mexico! I had the Birria tacos and horchata. Yummy! My son had a traditional taco and it was fantastic.“
“Authentic Mexican food, but small portions for the price. Came to taqueria habanero with some friends because we've been looking for good, authentic Mexican food in DC. Surprisingly, it's been more difficult to find than we thought! I ordered the huarache with steak and I also shared the guac and chips with my table. I was excited to see huaraches on the menu because it's not available everywhere. When my plate came, it looked and tasted delicious, but I felt that the portion was quite small for $15. I know Mexican food in DC is pricy either way, but where I'm from, I would be able to get a huarache triple the size for the same price. I also am someone who gets full pretty easily, but this meal did not fill me up. Still looking for my go-to spot in DC and this is definitely a contender, but the portion size really is a factor for me.“
“Came on a Friday night for a quick dinner. The restaurant didn't look like much from the outside but inside it was popping and pretty spacious with two dining rooms. The ambiance is your neighborhood mom-and-pop shop, no fancy decor, very down to earth, but everything felt well-maintained and clean. The restaurant was quite busy but the servers were very attentive and came to take our order as soon as we sat down. We had horchata ($4) and tamarindo ($3.5) for drinks. Both were very good and reasonably priced. The complementary salsa was amazing, with amazing flavor and a great kick. We shared El Tipico and Lomo Saltado as our mains. The portions were generous for two hungry people. Their combo platters are great for people looking to try a bit of everything. My favorite from El Tipico platter was the Pupusas Revueltas, so cheesy and paired well with the slaw. The tamale and enchilada were delicious and generously filled. The chicken filling was slightly dry so will try a different option next time. The Lomo Saltado was also great. It came with crunchy fries, well-marinated meat, and a flavorful, gingery sauce. The food took a bit long to come out (~40 mins), which is completely understandable for a mom-and-pop restaurant. My friend and I were running for a show afterward so had to rush our meal. Would recommend budgeting some extra time:)“
“Nicest staff here and the food was incredible!!!I’m from California where the MEXICAN FOOD IS FOR REAL. And this is THE ONLY PLACE AS GOOD AS CALI MEX!!!! I’ve been to like 20 Mexican spots and been disappointed every time mumbling after “Not as good as Cali but still love Mexican so it’s ok.”Not here!THIS PLACE ROCKS!!! Best Mexican in the area hands downnnnnnnnnnn~~~~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~“
“Absolutely amazing dinner at El Techno for my birthday. Vibes were immaculate, birria ramen bomb was in the top 5 things I've ever eaten. Staff were friendly and helpful, but didn't hover, absolutely perfect. Margaritas were delicious. The owner, Louie, came by and introduced himself and made sure everything was great. Honestly couldn't ask for a better dinner for the price.“
“Good portion! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. I had the steak bowl (grilled peppers, grilled corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese) and a large side of chips and guacamole. Chips were salted and the guacamole was fresh with a hint of citrus. After the bowl, I couldn't finish the chips but it wasn't for lack of trying! lol. 100x better than Chipotle and they give adult portions. Only issue - it arrived ice cold! like it was in the fridge. Quick reheat and it was all good.“
“We came here for our monthly family dinner night. We wanted to try a new spot. Ambiance - Cute. Really liked the seafood art in the walls. And the smell when you first walked in was incredible. We knew we were going to eat well. Food/Drinks - Hubby and I really enjoyed our drinks. I got La dama. He got the mango mojito. And my daughter also liked her strawberry lemonade. My favorite thing was the corn salad, but it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good! Service - 10/10. Everyone was so attentive and they made sure I got good footage for my blog. They kept our glasses full as well. Overall, try this place out! The flavors and customer service are truly amazing. They're going to need a bigger location soon!“
“This place is a little hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Great Mexican food and fantastic service. The servings are huge, I think the queso dip could serve 8 people. Margaritas were okay but beers from the giant cooler of beer were cold and refreshing.“
“Went there for a dinner with my dad - he is a flavor snob.Immediately, the service stuck out. Our waiter was on us, telling us the house favorites and getting us ready for their margaritas. The margaritas were okay, probably the last thing to write home about. Also thought they were a little pricey, but that’s all drinks in DC.We started with queso fundido; a queso-string-cheese hybrid topped with jalapeños, onions, and tomatoes. Was fantastic and paired amazing with their corn tortillas.For dinner, we tried the fish, chicken, and brisket tacos and ordered their birria taco-quesadilla (apparently also a house fav). All of the tacos were great; chicken and brisket were super tender, fish taco was juicy with sweet crema nodes. The birria taco-quesadilla was definitely more of just a quesadilla, I think it was the best meat on the table (my dad would disagree).Great vibes, trendy decor, has that small taqueria feel. If you’re looking for something boujee, not the place; if you want somewhere upbeat, affordable, and intimate, it is the place.“
“They sell some super delicious sandwiches here wow! I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it is a delicacy. The bad thing is that it was very greasy but it was a delight, the restaurant is almost always empty and I honestly don't know why a place with such delicious food can be like this.“
“Torn between 3 and 4 stars. As a recent texas transplant, I was craving some good tacos and Mangonada. The brick-and-mortar equivalent of a food truck, the service was quick and staff professional. They have an online order-ahead option that I recommend for larger orders. The Al pastor tacos I got were AMAZING, and a reasonable portion for the price (for DC). They didn't have mangonada, but they had a tropical version called piña chamoyada, and it was delicious! Lots of mango, pineapple, and coconut, laced with chamoy and tajin. I highly recommend both of these! However, whatever they're trying to pass off as Elote is not it, Fam. I was so excited for a good cup of street corn, but this lacked any spice or lime, and even just the cheese and Mayo (?) tasted weird, like maybe they're using something else. Ate one bite, stirred it up and tried a second bite, and immediately put it away. No sir this was not street corn and not even good. This is what knocked down the ratings for me, especially at $8. I might be back for the tacos, but I need to find another place for my elote fix.“
“Have been in and out of that Exxon many times, and never even considered eating here. I was hungry and grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. It was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, have since been back and gotten the steak and some other things. The cheese pulls are ridiculous. Hidden Gem!“
“A nice little food truck near the university of Maryland. I came here for a fencing tournament with my girlfriend and we want to satisfy our yearning for tasty Mexican food. We found this food truck 4 mins away from the university of Maryland. I loved their gorditas, and they have a good variety of tacos and even serve birria as well.“
“I booked a reservation here tonight in advance for a party of 10. The customer service from email to arriving at the restaurant was phenomenal. We arrived and the ambiance of this place was wonderful. We were a large group of guys who value community, making a difference, serving others, and love quality good food! This place is a really good at taking care of you and making sure guests have a good time. We sure did as it was our first time here referred by a friend in Miami about this place. The authenticity of the food Esp the tacos were INCREDIBLE. The atmosphere was like you were in mexico. The service was outstanding. Thank you to all the staff, Clark, and Alister for making us feel welcome. We will be back. The drinks were better than allegory. Thank you for making a difference in our community and for others. - Table Church Emmaus Mens Group“
“This is a priceless spot. The staff is so warm and welcoming. Sit at the bar if you can. The drinks are fantastic, the food is right out of a Mexico City kitchen on a Saturday night. The posole almost made me cry, it was absolutely perfect. If you're aware of what flavors taste like after being slowly developed, you'll love this place. The decor also reminds me of someone's kitchen. Beautiful, colorful, but unpretentious and comfortable.“
“My husband treated us to lunch from Krazi Kebob, and his recommendation of the Chicken Kati Rolls turned out to be an absolute game-changer for my taste buds. As someone unfamiliar with this type of food, I had no idea what to expect, but let me tell you, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Chicken Kati Rolls. The chicken was bursting with flavor. The recommended side of spicy sauce added an extra kick that elevated the overall experience. To complement the rolls, we also ordered fries. They were perfectly cooked and paired exceptionally well with a mayo dip. Adding to the positive experience was the seamless pick-up process. Ordering was a breeze, and when we arrived to collect our meal, everything was ready and waiting. Definitely coming back!“
“I've been coming here for what 3? 5? 6 years now? I always get the same thing and it's always perfect. There's one thing can be said for amazing food, it's a completely different thing when talking about amazing consistency. I've never, ever had a steak quesadilla or sangria as amazing as they make them here. It's simple, steak, cheese, and tortilla. It's so simple, but the flavors and taste are simply unmatched. Perfection. Service is just AMAZING. I think the phrase comfort food gets thrown around quite a bit, but I make a point to come 2-4 times a month because as I described to my partner, the food just evokes emotion. Reassurance, acceptance, warmth, winning, and just contentment, when I get a steak quesadilla from Guapos on Wisconsin Ave, I just know whatever is going on in my life, it's going to be okay.The sangria is unmatched. I tried various sangrias around D.C. and this is definitely my number 1. Their Tres Leches cake is also a treat when I'm in the mood for dessert.“
“This place made my little Texan heart so happy! Our family came on Valentine’s Day & enjoyed complimentary chips & salsa, tasty TexMex (My cheese enchiladas were perfect!), and I got to introduce my MIL to sopapillas (these were much smaller than what you find in Texas but still delicious).I often long for TexMex but between the expense of restaurants and the high chance of being disappointed, I rarely venture out. We’ll be back!Kid-friendliness: Easy- going atmosphere with kid chairs & menu (kid meals <$10)“
“Great spot for a large party, amazing service and delicious food. Wine by the bottle is very reasonable and cocktails are well made.The sense of humor is delightful as demonstrated with the photo hung in the bathroom in a place that is sore to catch your eye ?“
“Outstanding Mexican food truck that gives you all the flavor of a taco truck on the west coast. The carnitas tacos were not dry unlike a lot of local taco joints and the birria tasted almost exactly like home. Whatever you are eating here, pour that red salsa on top, it is incredibly flavorful.“
“This place is good simple Mexican restaurant. It's not expensive but a very good experienceVegetarian options: Beans Burittos rice soup quesadillaDietary restrictions: Accommodation for gluten intoleranceParking: There is ample parking right next to the restaurant“
“Uno Más is an authentic Mexican Kitchen. The service, food, prices, and hospitality is superb. The food is true, authentic, Mexican cuisine. While the atmosphere is not that of a 5 star restaurant the food, and drinks surely makes up for it all. 10/10 I recommend anyone who love Mexican cuisine to try Uno Más!!“
“I really enjoyed eating at Samantha’s! I was so surprised to walk in and see a lot of families eating in there, which told me this was a popular spot with potentially a lot of returning customers. We ordered the argentine steak that was supposed to come with a chimichurri sauce but didn’t appear present on the steak, more so “flavored” chimichurri I guess.. and I ordered beef and ribs fajitas. The rice and beans were really good and tasty. I enjoyed my beef fajitas, but the ribs were a little too saucy and more American bbq tasting than Latino style. I see that they have a pork ribs entree on the menu which I may try next time to see if they’re any but different than the fajitas.I really liked that they had a large menu with many options so we can try different stuff each time we come back. Will be returning soon with local family!“
“The salmon birria tacos are a must try. The accompanying consomé is rich and flavorful. It tastes like homemade seafood stock with a little cream. They could sell that alone with a little shellfish and be straight. I found the tacos to be small, and the salmon was overcooked which was a bummer. But, I like that you can order everything as singles, and I love that they offer consomé without having to order three daggone tacos! I thought the other offerings were just aight, but will return for these. Very warm, kind staff. When you encounter helpful, smiling faces, you feel welcome and appreciated. Thanks ladies.“
“I don't know if I was just really hungry or if this was some of the best Mexican food in DC! The carnitas in my nachos was so flavorful and tender! The carne asada burrito was amazing. They have margaritas on tap and I thought that was pretty cool. This restaurant is located inside the Bryant Street Market. This was my first time there and the layout is pretty cool, tons of seating and some other good looking by eateries. We finished the meal off with some caramel covered churros that were pretty decent. The caramel definitely took them to the next level. The customer service was ok, but we didn't really need anything from them after we got our food and found somewhere to sit.“
“This place quickly became one of our family's go to eateries when they first opened. I've had a different meal each time we've gone here and every dish was delicious. We have gone probably ten times so far. Atmosphere is great and even better now after the remodel. The service is sometimes slow, but the staff are always friendly and helpful. The drinks are a little pricey too. I just paid ten bucks for a shot of Jack Daniel's on Friday. Most other places that would be between 6-8 bucks. Highly recommended Acapulco though.“
“Food was really good. I didn't love the flavor of the carnitas taco but it wasn't bad. The huarache was also much thicker than I am used to but still a great item to try. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were amazing! They are served with some generously cut cucumbers and radishes for a nice fresh bite too. Loved it. The horchata was great too“
“Amazing food , the staff are very friendly and attentive , manager Edith is the best he is always at from checking everything making the customers special , my orders always are correct and food always are very delicious!Thank you Eddy and team!! District taco is the best !!! ?♥️Kid-friendliness: Great staff“
“This is a hidden gem! Stopped by for happy hour. The menu offered a good variety of food. The seafood nachos were amazing! Flavorful and cheesy with the right amount of heat. The margarita I ordered was perfect (not too sour, not too sweet). The only downside was the service. It took about 30 minutes to receive my food, in an empty restaurant. When it was time to pay, it took about 30 minutes. After waiting the first 15 minutes, I had to ask the waitress what was the issue. At that time she informed me that their card machine wasn’t working. I waited another 15 minutes for them to continue attempting to troubleshoot. After waiting for so long, I went to an atm to pay them in cash. I would recommend coming here if you don’t have plans afterwards.“
“I do not regret coming to J&J Mex Tex taqueria today. The staff were very friendly and I like the music they play, it’s very uplifting and encouraging. The food was flavorful, and I would definitely recommend my friends and family to eat here! Great place in the DMV.“
“Very good food and customer service. Had problem with my initial order and the owner was so nice to take care of it as he doesn't like his clients unhappy. Amazing service I received and the food is the bomb!!! My first time ordering from there and it was a take out. Next time I'll done in. Great atmosphere.“
