50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Greenbelt

“very good food and very good people friendly I will come back for sure“

“We had a great time here. The man at the counter was patient with us in taking our order and answering questions. Our only gripe was that the sauce on the table wasn't hot enough 😝. The guy that took our order made sure to tell us what was in the sauce bottles and warn about one having jalapeños in. Well, we wished there was more vegetables in the dishes we ordered.“

“Ive ordered 🥣 in & carry out at this location.

Single orders 🌯 are fast & Easy. No longe waits. And food is prefect.

My catering order had a good 10 to 20 minute wait even ordering ahead of time. Didn't come with big enough sides for all the meat 🍖🍗 , rice 🍚 and beans 🫘. Didn't get enough bowls and fork either.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Food was Excellent.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Having recently attended Vera for dinner on Saturday night I was delighted by the new drinks & food on the fall menu. I sampled both the Raiz de Fuego (smoked Basil Hayden with carrot and pumpkin) and Zahra Na'isa (chamomile pear gin & tonic) -- both drinks I would happily revisit-- the Raiz de Fuego particularly blew me away. The smell of the smoked wood and warm flavors brought me back to happy fall memories with family :)
The food was delicious with the zaatar guacamole and Lebanese chicken rolls being strong stand outs. The bartenders were all very helpful and provided 10/10 service throughout my meal. Overall, fantastic experience that made me happy I live in DC!“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“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! ❤🇲🇽“

“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.“

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

“Visited San Pacho today and overall had a really solid experience. I had the quesadilla, and my friend got the California burrito—which comes loaded with fries inside and was honestly really good and filling. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer non-alcoholic slushies. I tried the guava one and it was so good, super refreshing and definitely a standout. I was a little surprised they don’t offer tacos, but the menu still has great options that hit the spot. The food, staff, and overall vibe were all on point—friendly service and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Only heads-up is parking can be a bit tricky on busier days, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great spot I’d definitely come back to.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

We can share some Nachos, tacos, mariscada...civiche 🤩 My mouth is watering just thinking about those drinks 😜 Best bartenders in the DMV!!!“

“My husband and I came here for dinner tonight, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and the red snapper for dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious! The calamari was perfectly cooked, and the red snapper was a 10/10—full of flavor and cooked to perfection.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, very clean, and well organized, which made the experience even better. The service was also excellent, and everyone was friendly and attentive.

We will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service!“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“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.“

“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 was surprised to see Pupusas on the menu but happy I got one! The chicken was savory, rice delicious. The pupusa was on point! The cutillo (cabbage) was fresh.

My only gripe is the smoke from the kitchen. Even though it’s minimal, it’s still notable.“

“Very nice 👍 and delicious“

“HAPPY hour appetizers & drinks. 4p-7p.“

“The food is amazing, if you want the best here is the place. Scott“

“I tried the fajitas mixta today the food was great quality and very juicy great food. The customer service very attentive, great atmosphere and great environment to top it off got there new exotic dragon fruit lemonade ps better the starbucks🫢.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“What a wonderful surprise. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the breakfast tacos with steak and the birria tacos. The meat was so tender and juicy and seasoned to perfection. The lemonade was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. The atmosphere made me feel as if I was in a taqueria across the border and the service was phenomenal as well.“

“the papusa is delish. highly recommend“

“Friendly staff, nice music playing, and booster seats for toddlers! The free parking made it easy to find this spot, and my group had cut mango while we waited for our chilaquiles. The lengua was tender and flavorful, the mango was perfectly ripe, and we enjoyed free toppings for both from the self serve salsa station. 10/10, I will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“I placed a pick-up order through Uber Eats, but the app glitched and placed the order at the wrong location (this location, in Laurel). I called and the staff at this Bubbakoo’s were very helpful and prompt in contacting Uber to cancel my order, despite the fact that Uber is notoriously difficult to work with. I really appreciated their effort!“

“friendly staff and good food ,“

“Unique, tasty, affordable, convenient cuisine!“
