50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Chillum

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

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

“I highly recommend giving this place a try! The food is really flavorful, and clearly made with care. What impressed me most was how affordable everything was. you get great quality and generous portions without spending a lot of money. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that offer both excellent taste and reasonable prices, but this place does exactly that. If you're looking for a satisfying meal that won't hurt your budget, this is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back again!“

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

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone“

“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.“

“The service was amazing and Diana was my waitress she was so nice“

“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.“

“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!“

“I am a picky eater but I was surprised with the cleanliness level, jaw dropping food and outstanding customer service...thank you very much..definitely will visit every time I am in DC“

“Easily one of the best spots in DC, with some of the best food. The corn tamal, grilled leeks w/ mole, and lamb neck barbacoa were some particular favorites, but everything was delicious, fresh, and carefully crafted. The cocktails were excellent, the patio was extremely pleasant, with attentive service — everyone was so kind. A true 10/10.“

“great services! good drinks!“

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

“great happy hour until 7pm“

“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!“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“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!!“

“Solid, easy, and unique dinner spot to catch up with your friends. Ambiance was great. Decor was great. Vibe was great. Food was great. Drinks were unique, but I wasn’t crazy about any of the ones I had to be honest taste-wise! The steak was amazing. Ceviche was tasty.

We had 5 people and spent 88$ each - we had 1-2 drinks each and apps, sides, and main dishes, which we all shared. Everyone we met there was super friendly, staff involved. You can take great pictures here lol.

Wish we had stayed for the DJ. Music/club area started playing music around 10:30-11pm, but no one out on the dance floor yet and we just decided to call it a night! Parking was easy at 7:30pm, and free on the street. 1 min walk into it. Street parking gets more packed as the night goes on, of course. When I was going back to my car at 11pm it was packed.“

“I got a burrito, the rice had a rich lemon cilantro taste, the beans were good. The carne asada had a great taste. The tacos salsa was good that you need to eat with the tortilla chips… I highly recommend it. The prices are not bad respectfully for the food quality.“

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

“Food was Excellent.“

“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.“

“This place has really good food! I’m really picky with Mexican/latin food, but this place had really good food. However, their service is what kept me coming back. We sat at the bar and we had really great service. Carlos, Elizabeth, and Angie
were really great. They were really nice!!! I recommend this place and when you do come ask for them! You won’t be disappointed !“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“The staff is always so accommodating of our family with two small children and a giant wagon stroller. We absolutely come here for the generous inKind promotions, too! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

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

“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.“

“I was so lucky to be able to try this truck a few times when the first started a couple of years ago and loved it then. I brought some international colleagues to this truck, making big promises, and Tacos Mi Rancho is still my favorite truck after all these years. With the 3 year gap of having it, it was still the best taco truck in my opinion. Food came out fast even though they had a long line of customers and the quesobirria was perfect as always. I also think they price very reasonably! My international colleagues were blown away by their food.“

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

“Beyond delicious, the best Mexican food in DMV“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

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

“Blown away. Food was incredible, all the staff I spoke with were helpful and friendly, and my one complaint is that I waited until my last night to try this place… I would’ve eaten here every single night of my visit. I got the chicken tacos (cooked well, salsa and seasoning was flavorful and it wasn’t a skimpy portion), the mushroom tacos (phenomenal. 100/10. Seriously the best vegetarian tacos I’ve had in a hot minute, speaking as a Portlander), and the churros (also great). Didn’t take a picture cuz I ate it too fast. It’s Taco Tuesday ($5/two taco plate) but I ate so much I didn’t stay under $40 😂 that said, please plan a hefty tip for this awesome staff to make the difference between the price of this spot and a Cap Hill snobby spot… I promise it’s worth it.“

“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!“

“Great tacos from El Chilango. It’s great value for the money and made to order. Whenever in the area I try and stop by. I’ve tried a few different types of tacos from here and I stick to the steak and mixto. Additionally the onion and habanero mix that is offered on the side is nice touch. Recommend if I. The area.“

“My (admittedly large) party came in early and got seated ahead of time thanks to the hostess and server, who were both excellent. Margaritas were good albeit rims were a little oversalted but some may enjoy that. Food was excellent but $20 for 3 tacos seems a bit excessive even in downtown DC.“

“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.“

“This is honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted! I’m from Chicago, and I’ve had plenty of great Mexican food, but this place honestly beats a lot of the spots back home. You can really taste the love and passion that goes into the food, and the two wonderful ladies who prepared it were amazing.

The gentleman who greeted us was also incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell this place truly cares about its customers and the food they serve.

We’ll definitely be coming back before we head back to Chicago. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try! ❤🇲🇽“

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

“Honestly this has been my go to spot for years as I loved their farm to table, healthy, vegetarian tacos! However, I sadly won’t be returning as they’ve just added chicken to their menu! Such a shame- vegetarian spots in dc are hard to come by- there are countless other places that serve chicken tacos. Such a shame, as I always brought all our friends and family here! Hope they change it back to all vegetarian!“

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

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

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

“Great job with the quesadilla regarding my dietary restrictions.“

“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!“

“Fui almorzar y me pedí una fajita de carne y estaba muy buena, la recomendo.“
