Mexican Restaurants near Forestville

“I haven't been to this Taco Bell in sometime despite living nearby and visiting the stores around it. The remodel is nice. I was there in the evening and it was clean. The kiosk ordering was easy with pictures for everything. The food was packaged well which is an improvement. It actually looks a lot like the pictures. Their cantina menu is an improvement as well.“

“I do door dash and every time I come in to get an order the customer service is excellent even when packed“

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

“🥂✨ Brunch...still thinking about the unreal brunch experience we had this weekend! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was electric—bright, welcoming, and full of energy. The place was buzzing with laughter and clinking glasses.

The drinks were next level, especially the signature brunch cocktails. Every sip was a treat.

And the food? Absolutely spectacular. Perfectly plated, bursting with flavor, and made with so much care. Whether it was sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, every dish was a hit.

What stood out the most was the atmosphere—entertaining, engaging, and filled with good vibes. People weren’t just eating brunch—they were experiencing it. And you could tell the owners take serious pride in their space. From the service to the decor to the playlist, everything was done with intention.

If you’re looking for a place that serves more than just a meal—but a moment—this is it. You can see why you need a reservation.“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Food was Excellent.“

“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.“

“When I forget to bring lunch to work, District Taco is usually the first place that pops into mind. I always get their bowl with black beans with the cabbage topping. What really makes their bowl special is that I can add potatoes! It is a little addition that makes the meal really hardy and keeps me full until dinner. Like many places, you order on a screen, and they will call out when your food is ready.“

“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!“

“The best taco spot around.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“Birra tacos and the agua fresca is super delicious.“

“My favorite place to eat in all of DC and they have carna Asada fries, those that know, know it’s a treasure in San Diego that’s why I like this place so much“

“Me gusta mucho este lugar, buen servicio, buena comida y agradable ambiente!😍😋“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“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“

“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 was a small, authentic Mexican restaurant and it was AMAZING! Best tacos I think I’ve ever had. Never been a fan of corn tortillas but this place converted me. You order at the counter and they serve you. We had a large order (6 people) and they got the entire order 100% correct. Service was super fast, food was delicious and look at the beautiful clay “mugs” our drinks came in! I sadly don’t get down to this area often but it I ever did, I would definitely visit again!“

“We came excitedly to try some Salvadoran cuisine and arrived close to the end of lunch service, so the atmosphere was very quiet. The establishment is rather dark inside. Service was quick, and they offered a kid's high chair.

For lunch, we had the crispy beef tacos and el cuscatleco. First of all, we loved the tacos. It is flavourful and very well-balanced. However, it was a mixed bag with the el cuscatleco - the pupusa was okay, and we didn't enjoy their tamale. On a positive note, we enjoyed the fried yuca and plantains.

The ramp entrance is wheelchair and pram-friendly. There's also outdoor seating available.“

“Super delicious“

“Solid & tasty tacos and other fixings, but small portions for the prices. The staff was mostly nice but also seemed to mostly ignore me as a customer even though I ordered two rounds of food. Overall I’d say very similar experience to La Neta in Stockholm, but for twice the price. I wouldn’t rush back.“

“I ordered the asada tacos, chicken quesadilla, and chips with guac. Everything was fire. The green sauce with the tacos was packed with flavor, and the guac had a nice little kick to it. Took a bite of my kid’s quesadilla and it was super tasty. Something to be mindful of if you have a picky eater the quesadilla does come with lettuce and tomatoes and just a little spicy. 10/10“

“The food is always good. I prefer this place over Sardis because we can actually choose what we want in the bowl. The customer service is great the people are really nice and are super generous, even with the smoothies when there’s extra. They always give us a cup with the extra.“

“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!“

“We visited DC for four nights. We ate here twice because it was so good. The happy hour specials were delicious and good deals. The salsa is transcendent. Loved the mojito and the sangria. The carnitas, the tinga de pollo and the esquites were AMAZING! The whole staff is awesome and the atmosphere is so cool.“

“Buena elecciones en platillos y excelentes servicio“

“best birria tacos 🤤🤤🤤🤤 recomend“

“Good food. Ice Cold beer, a very pleasant server. Awesome!“

“Very small restaurant but very home like. It’s a nice space. The staff are nice and caring. The service is very quick as well. Been coming to this place since I was a kid and I still go. I always order the carne asada tacos and the tacos are so cheap and it’s generous with the size of it.

Parking: It’s like 5-6 spots on the right side of the restaurant.“

“Went on Cinco de Mayo and the service was excellent. Everything was half priced, chicken and pork tacos good, drinks and shots on point. The service was hospitable. Thanks to Jesus and his establishment…We will be back!!“

“todo muy rico buen trato“

“The food is usually delicious but I'm getting disappointed with the quesadillas. There's very little cheese which negates the point of a quesadilla. There's an abundance of chicken or vegetables depending on the kind I get but they are very stingy with the cheese. What's up with that??“

“These are authentic street tacos. Don’t come here looking for TexMex. No cheese. Lettuce. Sour cream. None of that 💩 on these bad boys. I got the carnitas tacos. And took the birria home for my kiddos. Excellent.“

“I don't like doing this but I've already made an order of nopales with onion and only onion and it's wrong. And the other one was the same order and he gave me one of golden tacos and I ordered tacos to the Pactor and I was missing two tacos that were poorly served lately“

“So far I have only ordered the chicken and steak tacos with birria consume, the food is good but can be a bit cold at times and feels like it was once refrigerated.

The customer service is pretty solid as well, the only negative is that there are not many english speakers so you have to know exactly what you want while ordering.“

“Had a fantastic time food and service was great a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Good food good people“

“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!“

“Amazing! Wanted to support a small family owned business, so my family and I came by for dinner. Young lady at Register was very kind and patient (we have a very picky toddler and couldn't decide what to order him) She recommended Salchipulpo (french fries, drizzled in ketchup, mayo and parmesan cheese with cooked sausage in the shapes of octopus) For my family of 4, we shared the Pork and Lorroco Papusas, Steak tacos, Salchipulpo, and Nuelgados. We all left STUFFED, AND VERY HAPPY!

PLESE NOTE: FOOD IS COOKED TO ORDER, AND YOU MAY HAVE A LONG WAIT.. but it's soooo worth the wait. Food was steamy hot and fresh!!

3 Pork papusas, 3 Lorroco papsusas, order of steak tacos (3 tacos) order of Salchipulpo, and order of Nuelgados (6 Nuelgados) = 59.00
We can't afford to eat out at that price often, but in my opinion, it was very much worth the money. Food was beyond delicious and flavorful. We will definitely be back to dine in next time we are in the area!“

“Me encantaron las Tortas , los tacos de lengua también , sólo un pequeño detalle el refresco lo dejan muy dulce pero para gustos el mundo buen servicio y amabilidad del personal ☺️“
