50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Chillum

“Servicio completo y profesional! Comida riquísima! Bebidas frias! Q mas se puede esperar mas cuando uno viene de visita desde New York!“

“I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Kinda unfair. Tried the esquites and the special tacos. Also had the watermelon Fresca and horchata. Liked the elote and drinks. The special tacos were okay. Meat was kinda plain. I'll try their regular menu next time because all that was tasty. Esquites had really nice smoky crema.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions during planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.

Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.“

“excelente servicio oscuro es pilas Sandra muy amable y en general todos son amigables un 10“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“Everything about this place was A++. Not sure how this place has not come up for me or my husband before but came here Tuesday night and we’re officially deeming this our go to spot. Everything was delicious and legitimately the best Mexican restaurant in DC and the best Margaritas in town.
1. The fajitas (chorizo, chicken, steak) had amazing flavor including the side of refried beans, steak was tender, didn’t skimp you on the veggies.
2. The chicken tamales did not disappoint - you can tell they care about their masa, and the chicken inside was juicy, not dry like many places.
3. The frozen margaritas were freshly made it isn’t just a bunch of syrup. I actually wasn’t going to get one but Oscar put my concerns at ease and pointed out it was still happy hour.
Such a relief to find a spot where you can count on food being delicious, where the vibe is chill and the people are great! Thank you Oscar, Diego, and Chris!“

“Amazing food. Attentive staff. This place serves a delicious variety of Mexican foods, beverages, and the best flan I have ever tasted. Our favorites include Tlayudas with pork, Bistec con Salsa Pasilla, Pastor Tacos. You really can’t go wrong. The offer tasty aguas frescas, tasty libations, and that creamy flan I mentioned above. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Angel is a gentleman, and listens carefully in order to customize your experience. I really kind of hate to let everyone know about this hideaway in Wheaton, but I can’t stop bragging on them!“

“Food was Excellent.“

“My go to takeout order is the tandoori chicken platter! If you’re a busy person & bulking on your workout journey, you can always rely on this restaurant for delicious, homemade tasting food. The tandoori platter is a generous serving, can make 2 meals out it. Not to mention the customer service is fantastic! The owner knew my order after the first time I came in & is such a kind person!“

“We dined in this evening for snacks and drinks and Tollie took great care of us. He made excellent recommendations (taquitos atun and churros, notably) we ordered the pitcher of Ponche de Lola which was perfect to share! Wonderful Sunday evening“

“the food was amazing and delicious. I will be back!“

“Dining in DC, is paying for ambiance. Pascual was a wonderful ambiance in learning the finer elements of Mexican cuisine.

NO SALSA IN CHIPS

Guacamole was tasty but it wasn't until I built the perfect bite with the braised lamb neck did I appreciate the understatement of its balance. My friend very much enjoyed her Octopus, she got crispy she'll to accompany her dish.

The bunuelo was a nice finish, but there was the option of flan w/chocolate. The flan was good but had bitters from dark chocolate that gave the taste of espresso.

I would not dine here again personally, but it makes for a really nice backdrop of a lovely dinner.

Vegetarian options: Seafood allergy, a lot of possible cross contamination, limits your choices. However the choices are still very delicious.“

“Clean, quick service, normal wait time for food. Real sliced beef on the nachos. See attached pic for details.“

“I went to District Taco at the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. The menu has a variety of options to choose from, and luckily one of the staff there, Eimy, was really helpful with recommending what's most popular, as well as what she's personally grown to love. I'd definitely say I left satisfied. The vibes were good my whole time there, and there was very little wait time. I'll be going back and sharing it with those I know. Shout-out Emiy again, she hooked me up.“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“The chicken mole California burrito was really really good - specifically the tortilla and the mole and beans. Everything tasted homemade and delicious. The carnitas super burrito was also really well made and the guacamole was good.

The cold brew was the best cold brew I’ve tried (I’ve had about 10) - it was really chocolatey and delicious.

The reasons for 4 stars is that I didn’t like how the portions were a bit small for the price. The chips and guac was $12 and seemed to involve about 1 or 2 avocados.

The burritos were filling - appreciated and needed the salsa verde that came with them! But still a bit pricy.

These views might also be influenced by the fact I felt pressured by the card machine at the register to tip more than 20% before the food came. The first screen that pops up when paying has only 3 suggested tips: 25, 22, and 20% - the highest I’ve seen on one of these apps. In total it came to $63 for 2 burritos, 1 chips and guac, and 2 cold brew coffees including tip which feels very expensive. We also were accosted by wasps on the patio that tried to get into our food, so that’s a reason for the 4 star atmosphere.

Nevertheless I would recommend this place - if you’re not worried about the price and savvy enough to tip appropriately/not accidentally.

I am confident they are some of the best burritos you can get in the area, and cold brew!“

“Our server was Daisy. A previous reviewer said Daisy was sweet and attentive, and that’s exactly right. My 8-year-old said she was “my favorite waitress I’ve ever had.” The food was also very good, the spicy house margarita excellent. We’ll be back!

Kid-friendliness: Great kid’s menu“

“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!!“

“Excellent food! Will return!“

“In my opinion, these are the best tacos in the area, and made me feel like I was in Southern California. The lengua, mixto, and el pastor are all amazing and come with the perfect accoutrements and both green and red sauce. Also, each time I’ve visited this truck, all of the workers have been so friendly and welcoming. El Chilango is always my first recommendation to people looking for delicious and authentic tacos“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

“The food is pretty good. They give you a lot of it. I mean, like more than is healthy or normal or safe. My wife said I didn’t have to eat all of it, but I did. I got fajitas. It was enough to fill a Volkswagen Golf. Not a big car, but more space than you would normally need to store a fajita.“

“Very beautiful place the food is amazing and the service is very good thank you“

“Great tacos. The pork shoulder and pork belly were excellent!“

“Delicious vegan fare in a quaint setting. The service can be a bit slow, but the excellent food makes the wait worth one's while. We look forward to many more visits to Chaia!

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegan versions of enchiladas and quesadillas“

“The best taco spot around.“

“Ordered DoorDash from this place. I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the 3 tacos. 1 chicken 1 chorizo and the other carnitas. All 3 were good. Chicken was kind of bland. The carnitas was excellent. Only downside is that the tacos stick to the paper. The chicken quesadillas was good, but again the chicken was bland. Everything was packaged well. I’ll try them again“

“La comida aquí es muy rica y el servicio de Diana es excelente, muy amable y muy atenta! Sin duda volveremos pronto! Lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Excellent tacos with crispy corn tortillas. Had the pork, chorizo, shrimp, fish, and queso birria. Highly recommend the pork and chorizo. This place is more accurately described as a food truck with a picnic table next to it. Reminds me of a lot of places in TX. Love it.“

“Good service, great food!“

“This place is awesome! The food is always fresh, they are consistent, kind, and the menu is great. Try the ceviche mixto and the salsa here (ask for the habanero salsa as well). They are addictive! I really enjoy this place. Keep up the great work!“

“So goo that we came twice in two days while we were on vacation. Highly recommend.“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“It was our first time there we had a great time , service was great the food the bomb we will come back again .“

“The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and the hibiscus margaritas. The service was great too!“

“We had such a great lunch. Was so good…. All the family loved it“

“Flavors are good. The after taste of the tortilla was not pleasant, but the other items were great.“

“Had the Pleasure of Djing there“

“We took a group of 60 people to this place for dinner and it was half adults and half 5th Graders. Nestor was so accommodating and the staff was amazing! The food was even better.“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“Honestly, the best time I had was coming here we were visiting from New York City didn’t know much of the area, but Santiago the server was very respectful and helped us so much he convince us on so many different entrées. The food was amazing all his recommendation and the drinks were spectacular 10 out of 10. Thank you so much Santiago. You were a blessing. Definitely coming back because of you“

“Love it and a must to eat when in DuPont circle in DC“

“Son muy amables bien servicio las bebidas excelentes muy buena comida yo les recomiendo“
