50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Clinton

“We tried Peruvian Charcoal Chicken recently. The chicken had a nice charcoal flavor and was juicy. Sides were decent, though a bit inconsistent. Service was friendly . Overall, solid spot for casual Peruvian style chicken. We will be back soon thanks from Miguel“

“Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The pupusas were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — you can truly taste the love and tradition in every bite. The menu has great variety, and everything we tried was delicious, but the atole de elote was hands down my favorite. It was warm, creamy, and full of authentic flavor — seriously one of the best I’ve had!

The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. This place is a true gem, and I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality food!“

“This is hands down the best Chipotle I’ve been to. The team is incredibly efficient without ever making you feel rushed. They’re patient, kind, and genuinely seem to care about getting your order right. Even during busy times, they keep the line moving smoothly while still providing great customer service.“

“After having a not so good experience, the manager Mr. Ranald reached out to hear about my complaint & was more than happy to remake my order without any hesitation. I appreciate the fast turn around time on responding to my customer service review. And for satisfaction.“

“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.“

The corn tamal, grilled leeks w/ mole, and lamb neck barbacoa were some particular favorites, but everything was delicious, fresh, and carefully crafted.

The staff was incredibly welcoming, the space was spotless, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. Everything came out fast, the food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were top-tier. Parking in the hotel garage right next door was around $25, but it was well worth the convenience for such an amazing experience. We’ll definitely remember this meal and will be back to celebrate future milestones!“

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

“Pollo Bowl w all the topping. Added pivot salsa. The Mgr Calos was extremely nice, professional and his complete staff was friendly. The host Monica was kind, easy to talk too...she allowed me to charge my phone without any regards. The entire staff was laid back/ welcoming from start to finish. I was more impressed with the clean bathroom, and the store have posted their food staff serve certification and were all up to date across the board. I will be back to dine again. I give this location 8/10“

“First time at a Dos Toros but I’ll be back for more. The service was fast and friendly, the protein choices a little broader than other burrito places and i love the way they wrap it in foil (very consistent; looks a little like a tamale). The atmosphere is sort of “vanilla” but it was clean, functional and well appointed. Definitely worth the trip.

The carnitas, the tinga de pollo and the esquites were AMAZING! The whole staff is awesome and the atmosphere is so cool.“

“Best affordable tacos I've found in the district so far! Double tortilla, generous portion of filling and extra sauces you can get in the store. The staff is really nice and the service is quick. We havent had a bad taco experience yet! La Cosecha is a great place to eat at different spots and Apapacho Taqueria is a staple! Check it out if youre in the area!“

“I am sure Korean food is the best when tasted in Korea. That's why I'm not a big fan of Korean restaurants abroad. However this one, Rice Bar in DC satisfied me for real. 다만 제 느낌에 1회용 숫가락이 좀더 크면 좋겠고 젓가락에 일본어 적힌 점이 아쉽.. 그래도 또 들리고 싶네요.“

“This is go-to spot when we do not feel like cooking. Very affordable. Steak and rice bowl is 10/10. We always place a pick-up order and they are very fast. If there is something going on at the Wharf, it gets really busy and the wait can be long. Staff is very friendly.“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go! The Roost was my go to during the pandemic with tons of outdoor seating. Since it was in my neighborhood we frequented a lot. The staff watched my little one practically grow up there! It became our meeting place and neighborhood watering hole. Quick and efficient and some of the best food and customer service! We’ve moved from the area but always stop by when in town because it feels like home!“
