Mexican Restaurants near Joint Base Andrews

“Bri was suchhh an amazing server!! 11/10 experience. It was my first time at this restaurant and she was so patient walking me through the menu and had great recommendations for my dietary restrictions. Such an amazing experience and great food. Thank you Bri!!“

“Easily the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Service was top notch, decor was impeccable, & most importantly the food was absolutely delicious. My friend & I each got 3 different tacos (they're pretty small so it's easy to try multiple). We highly recommend the fish, beef, mushrooms, & cactus options. Also the tres leches cake with strawberries is to die for. And I should also mention that the chips & salsa are the best & most authentic I've ever had. Reasonably priced too, considering the location & how excellent everything is.“

“Amazing!! Best guacamole we’ve ever had. Margarita was excellent. We had the short ribs, taquitos, and a variety of the tacos. Ordered a second guac. Server, Angel, was superb!! Can’t say enough about this place.Dietary restrictions: Great options for gluten free and vegan.“

“Vera has completely won me over with their exceptional cuisine and inviting atmosphere. Let's talk about the branzino - it's an absolute game changer. Tender, flavorful, and simply to die for. If you visit Vera, make sure to try it - you won't regret it. And speaking of must-tries, their Dios Del Andes y Cedro cocktail is a personal favorite of mine. It's a delightful blend of flavors that truly impresses. And let's not forget about the guacamole - it's fresh, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a seafood aficionado or simply looking for a fantastic dining experience, Vera is a must-visit destination. And the service is always amazing.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Los Caballeros for their weekend brunch and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience.As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff and the owner himself. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and had a laid-back vibe, perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.Now let's talk about the food. Los Caballeros proved to be a pleasant surprise. They were able to accommodate options for vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians. But what truly stole the show for me were the drinks. I highly recommend trying their pitcher of tamarindo margarita. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and definitely hit the spot. They also had other options like mimosas and bloody marys for those who prefer a classic brunch drink.The owner, who was also our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. He made sure we were enjoying our meal and even gave us some recommendations for their signature dishes. It was evident that he takes great pride in his restaurant and wants his customers to have a memorable experience.To end our brunch on a sweet note, we decided to try their dessert. And let me tell you, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, my experience at Los Caballeros was exceptional. From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend checking them out for their weekend brunch or even for a regular meal. The owner and his team have truly created a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for their customers. So next time you're in the mood for some delicious food, head over to Los Caballeros and treat yourself to a delightful brunch. You won't regret it.Parking: This area of parking gets very busy due to being right beside the area of the Capitol.“

“Being from Texas, I had to keep in mind that this was not Tex-Mex. The food was awesome! We had cucaraches, which was fried shrimp with a hot sauce, and nacho mama for appetizers. They were both amazing! The sauce is really not too spicy, just a little tangy . Birria tacos were good and cheesy. Everything was good! Service was prompt even though we had reservations. Nice and cozy, with low lighting. I tried a drink- A Piná which wasn't frozen but served over slushy ice. This place is definitely one to put in your rotation.“

“The restaurant has a very small space and you could definitely feel the close proximity that makes it feel cramped.Despite this, we were seated very effectively and the food was delivered in such a timely manner.The dish options were normal but not overwhelming and the appetizers and entrees were incredibly flavorful. I would say depending on your dish, it may be smaller or larger than you expect.I would advise not taking a car as it probably applies to all of DC, public transit and walking access was amazing and the area did not feel unsafe at the 8pm hour that we ate.Overall, we enjoyed our service, a comfortable authentic Mexican place for visitors!Parking: We saw some parking spots but very difficult to navigate around this area with car.“

“This past weekend I hosted a birthday party at Mission Navy Yard. The staff was fantastic, providing my group with a private room, bartender, bathroom, and outside patio area. Mission Navy Yard responded to all emails and questions promptly and we experienced no issues throughout our experience. Would definitely recommend!“

“Cozy and friendly place where you will please your palate!!!! If you are looking for delicious food, and warm customer service visit this restaurant! It was wonderful for my family ??‍♀️??????to find this place on my visit to Washington!!“

“It's a beautiful restaurant on the wharf and the views with the outdoor settings are so nice. The staff is so helpful! I really enjoyed the tatanachos and chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. I would definitely come and grab a bite. My husband couldn't stop eating my leftovers it is that good!“

“We love this neighborhood gem. Excellent food (best nachos in DC, yummy tacos, and delicious plantains), great drinks, wonderful staff. I'm only removing one star because they often run out of michelada mix, which is my favorite. But otherwise highly recommend.“

“Rented the private room for a work cocktail reception and was impressed by the food, service, and drinks. We had around 15 people, but the room can certainly accommodate more than that.We arranged for cocktail tables for a standing reception, and they have great food and drink combinations for your party. We had our own private bartender, a taco station, and passed hors d'oeuvres.The guests loved the food and drinks. Everyone on the staff was very kind and friendly.If your party stays in the space longer than reserved, they will begin charging per head. So worth knowing you have a little buffer time to get everyone out before that happens. A manager was kind enough to give me a heads up and around 20 minutes for everyone to exit the space.“

“Absolutely amazing dinner at El Techno for my birthday. Vibes were immaculate, birria ramen bomb was in the top 5 things I've ever eaten. Staff were friendly and helpful, but didn't hover, absolutely perfect. Margaritas were delicious. The owner, Louie, came by and introduced himself and made sure everything was great. Honestly couldn't ask for a better dinner for the price.“

“SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful in answering our questions and providing recommendations from the menu based on our preferences. Very professional and she was always around when we needed anything.FOOD: If you like chicken nachos you should try these. They put the right amount of cheese, chicken, jalapenos, guac, every ingredient pairs perfectly. I had the chicken enchilada and my husband the chicken tacos. The plates are smaller in size than expected but still delicious and filling..ATMOSPHERE: The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting and comfortable. The indoor dining area is to the left when you walk in, the bar in the middle and outdoor seating. Very nice.Overall we will visit this establishment again!“

“The food quality was good, and cooked quickly! The queso was amazing. The only complaint I have is the coco fresa tasted like something rotten was in it. The after taste was rough. They pour from a tap, so it’s possible the batch that we received was spoiled. We ended up changing to the mojito margarita and it was way better“

“Had met with friends for their brunch here and we were running behind. Were helpful in getting us seated and since we were with a dog, they made sure to get the heaters set up and got us a table with the fire pit. Nice views of the water and bridge.“

“Great place to stop for some delicious Mexican-style food while out and about touring Capitol Hill! Portions are large, staff is friendly, and lots of menu options are available. There are only about ten stools for inside dining but is convenient enough to grab as take out and picnic someplace along the hill. Taco salads, quesadillas, and pork tacos are amazing!“

“Torn between 3 and 4 stars. As a recent texas transplant, I was craving some good tacos and Mangonada. The brick-and-mortar equivalent of a food truck, the service was quick and staff professional. They have an online order-ahead option that I recommend for larger orders. The Al pastor tacos I got were AMAZING, and a reasonable portion for the price (for DC). They didn't have mangonada, but they had a tropical version called piña chamoyada, and it was delicious! Lots of mango, pineapple, and coconut, laced with chamoy and tajin. I highly recommend both of these! However, whatever they're trying to pass off as Elote is not it, Fam. I was so excited for a good cup of street corn, but this lacked any spice or lime, and even just the cheese and Mayo (?) tasted weird, like maybe they're using something else. Ate one bite, stirred it up and tried a second bite, and immediately put it away. No sir this was not street corn and not even good. This is what knocked down the ratings for me, especially at $8. I might be back for the tacos, but I need to find another place for my elote fix.“

“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.“

“Uno Más is an authentic Mexican Kitchen. The service, food, prices, and hospitality is superb. The food is true, authentic, Mexican cuisine. While the atmosphere is not that of a 5 star restaurant the food, and drinks surely makes up for it all. 10/10 I recommend anyone who love Mexican cuisine to try Uno Más!!“

“I've been a loyal customer of Las Placitas for over two decades! I've followed them from their old location to their new location here in Navy Yard. Their food never disappoints and it's a place you can come to whine down. Don Jose is the face of the restaurant and he's one of the main reasons I always come back! I couldn't recommend this place enough“

“I don't know if I was just really hungry or if this was some of the best Mexican food in DC! The carnitas in my nachos was so flavorful and tender! The carne asada burrito was amazing. They have margaritas on tap and I thought that was pretty cool. This restaurant is located inside the Bryant Street Market. This was my first time there and the layout is pretty cool, tons of seating and some other good looking by eateries. We finished the meal off with some caramel covered churros that were pretty decent. The caramel definitely took them to the next level. The customer service was ok, but we didn't really need anything from them after we got our food and found somewhere to sit.“

“I truly enjoy this place. I come here often to get the same dish. I grab their 3 carne asada tacos. It’s one of my favorite spots to pick up tacos. Very authentic. I have had their paposas (not sure if I spelled it correctly) and they are great also.The service is kind and friendly. It seems like a family own business.“

“Moved to FL recently and Mexican food does not exist there. Ordered a carne asada burrito with plantain it and hands down one of the best burritos I’ve have eaten. It was actually refreshing with every bite. Please open one up in Vero Beach FL! Fantastic experience and was even approached while leaving and asked how my meal was! Awesome customer service!“

“My teenage son is rarely able to eat out at restaurants due to severe food allergies. We were thrilled at finding that he could safely order a delicious meal from Surfside Taco Stand! Many thanks to the staff and cooks who made his evening really special! @ Surfside Taco Stand - The Wharf - 33 District Square SouthwestDietary restrictions: The staff was super accommodating to my son's severe food allergies! They asked perceptive questions, double checked things, and gave good suggestions. So happy and grateful that he could eat safely! He ordered the plain chicken tacos with lettuce and cherry tomatoes. It also came with plain rice and a lime slice. [Allergies: eggs, dairy, soy, treenuts, peanut, sesame, legumes, wheat]“

“It was a lovely surprise to find this hidden gem! I would recommend the appetizer ceviche but wish they could’ve added more tostada. The main entree (mezcalero skillet) was great too. They did not underserve and the food was served quickly within 20 mins of sitting down. Efficient and attentive!!Parking: The first three hours is free and located in the backside of the restaurant. The great part is the elevator takes you directly to the cosecha level where the restaurant is located within.“

“The salmon birria tacos are a must try. The accompanying consomé is rich and flavorful. It tastes like homemade seafood stock with a little cream. They could sell that alone with a little shellfish and be straight. I found the tacos to be small, and the salmon was overcooked which was a bummer. But, I like that you can order everything as singles, and I love that they offer consomé without having to order three daggone tacos! I thought the other offerings were just aight, but will return for these. Very warm, kind staff. When you encounter helpful, smiling faces, you feel welcome and appreciated. Thanks ladies.“

“Was a great comfortable vibe, loved the strawberry margarita, will be returning for one. Food was lovely as well. Definitely my new spot.Kid-friendliness: Was very sweet to my niece. Offered her a nice cup of lemonade. She was shy at first but she opened up after her lemonade lol!“

“Amazing service. The best chips and salsa. The BEST michaladas, great margs and if you are nice, they might surprise you with a little shot of tequila! Highly recommend if you want a warm atmosphere, great drinks, good casual food and consistent customer friendly service.“

“This neighborhood gem is still running strong! The service is great! The food exceeds expectations! They really did make us feel like family. Who knew this was still possible in 2024! PS, Best spot for people watching on the patio btw. Highly recommended!“

“I do not regret coming to J&J Mex Tex taqueria today. The staff were very friendly and I like the music they play, it’s very uplifting and encouraging. The food was flavorful, and I would definitely recommend my friends and family to eat here! Great place in the DMV.“

“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.“

“Such a great neighborhood gem. The food is good and the atmosphere is cute and quaint. My only gripe is that on the website, it states the restaurant closes at 9pm/9:30pm. However, it’s more like 7:30pm! It always closes early for many different reasons and if you walk in to dine at 7:15pm, they’re looking at you crazy or May tell you that you can only order takeout. I wish they’d just change the times!“

“Food was excellent I thought it was a little pricey for tacos but staff was great. We had four meals for $150 plus two drinks I know the cost of food has gone up but I thought it was expensive for the food ordered just my thoughts. I will definitely eat here again though.“

“Are you in Landover, the desert of Latino food, and craving street tacos? Well, this is the only place. While a bit greasy, they hit the spot. They are generously portioned and just looked at the radish and peppers and lime they come with! Glad these guys exist here!“

“My 1st time eating here & overall...not bad.The food was good, location not. In a semi strip mall in the hood.I ordered a shrimp & chicken fajita over the phone & it was ready when I arrived. The lady was nice and I ordered a half tea/lemonade drink. The drink was watery and not sweet.They only give you 4 medium size shrimp, a small cup of black beans, & the Pico was the smallest portion I've ever seen (see photo), especially for the size platter. The Pico should've been the same size as the beans.You also get small extras of sour cream, a cheese, & a greenish garnish which I didn't use any of them.I stopped at Chipotle and got a Gauc, added bacon bits and it was a good lunch! (They don't have quac)I will return!With the drink it was about $17“

“The food is fantastic. I had the shrimp, steak and chicken tacos. The sauces that came with the tacos are super good. I also had the taco dip, which was also amazing. I took some back to my staff and everyone loved it. We have found a new lunch spot.“

“I tried this spot since it was on doordash. I ordered the birria quesadilla with creama and avocado. Hands down the best I’ve had in a long time. The beef was well seasoned, consume was flavorful and just amazing, hot sauce had the perfect amount of heat (saying this as someone who loves spicy food) and flavor balance . Everything tasted fresh and delicious. They earned a returning customer out of me “

“We loved this place!!! Chose HiFi based on the Yelp reviews and realized when we arrived that this is actually a food hall type venue called The Roost. I'll be reviewing the whole place. The ambiance is incredible, and the way it flows is ingenious. You sit down, scan a QR code with your phone, and are able to order from any of the multiple eateries in the space. Place your order online and then waitstaff brings your order over from any/all of the restaurants. Honestly, I ordered from multiple spots- HiFi, the bar, the sushi spot- and all of our food was absolutely phenomenal. I will be back for sure the next time we're visiting DC!“

“El Papi Real Street Tacos is a little off the beaten path. The food is for an acquired soft taco taste. The food was dry and not as flavorful as other taco tasting around the US. It did not seem like a Central American Taco experience but more like a US fusion.Parking: The parking lot is small but open to allow a clear view of the surroundings. It appeared to have between 20-25 spots.“

“I saw this restaurant and it caught my attention, I bought grilled chicken with two companions, I was not wrong, the chicken is delicious, there are also different types of food to eat there or take away, I like it because it is a place that is always clean, the staff the service is very good, especially the lady who is there is very friendly, they speak Spanish and EnglishI saw this restaurant and it caught my attention, I bought grilled chicken with two companions, I was not wrong, the chicken is delicious, there are also different types of food to eat there or take away, I like it because it is a place that is always clean, the staff The service is very good, especially the lady who is there, she is very friendly, they speak Spanish and English.“

“IF YOU ARE A FAN OF DELICIOUS FLAVOR, GO HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!Angel's Restaurant is a very unsuspecting place, so go in knowing that there's not much to look at while you eat. BUT!!! The food MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THAT!! I went in craving tacos and I wasn't disappointed at all! They have "putacos" which is a glorious marriage of a pupusa and a taco, and they are heavenly!!!! I also ordered their chicken tacos and I was in love with them too!! Our waitress was also very nice and kindly explained the menu to us, which helped a lot! I can't wait to go back!!“

“Their fish sub is very good. I ordered it multiple times. I also sampled the shrimp quesadilla from a friend who ordered it and it was good. The service was good as well. They had great customer service and were very friendly. They have about 3 booths for dining inside and they were clean.“

“LGBTQ friendly,clean,the food is so good. me and my boyfriend went there had a good time the drink are not watered down and some of the best food. I would definitely go here again like to atmosphere no judgment a guy start grinding on my boyfriend, but it was cool and fun. The waiters are super friendly and nice, so is the owner.“

“Waitress was very attentive and pozole was delicious. I’ve been looking for a place with good Mexican food and this nailed it! Will be returning. The tostadas came with my pozole and my partner enjoyed them very much. Just wish that I was able to add to the tip, before I knew it I only had the customer copy of the receipt. Waitress was the best!“

“This small restaurant is tucked away on Livingston Road by the LSW Liquor Store. Cozy and inviting, the restaurant is a great place to stop by for lunch or dinner. I had the grilled beef fajitas which was hot with beans, salad, and rice. Delicious and very satisfying at a reasonable price. I didn't take a photo but I will add a photo of the menu later. It specializes in Tex-Mex and Salvadorean food. I would highly recommend it. No frills, just good comfort food.“

“Stopped by on a Saturday and ordered the breakfast burrito al pastor of the brunch menu. That and the chips and queso were both delicious! The servers could have been a little bit more attentive, since there were so few people in the restaurant, but I'll definitely be back.“

“It could be better comparing to its similar restaurantGood people good atmosphere, My foot was ready on time (online order) The only thing there was too much liquid in my food which doesn't looks good it make it look like not freshly made you know.“

“Just think of Chipotle but local with better flavor and fresher ingredients. I will prob never step foot into a Chipotle again. I will say, I wish they would add a bit more flavor to their ingredients. The sauces you can add at the end def helps add that flavor, but I feel they white-washed their recipe to accomodate to the many white working class in the area. Otherwise, its good. I will be back. If you’re hungry, I would always go for the bowl, I feel they do skimp a bit on the burritos. They are not usually filling for me.“
