Mexican Restaurants near Landover Hills

“I've only done carry out, never eat in. I have been searching for 🇸🇻 food in MD ever since I visited there. This is the first place I've been to that delivered everything I was looking for. The putacos are muy delicioso. The crazy pupusa is my fave. I'm currently enjoying the steak quesadilla. I am in a happy place. Can't wait to the next time.“

“Courteous and professional. Ran into a problem when I had ordered with a future pick up time of 530pm, but the restaurant made the order at 350. Probably was some kind of tech issue, but they remade all my food. Really appreciated the way they made it right immediately“

“This place is nice. I am African American so the language barrier was a little difficult to navigate but there are English speaking services there. We got the 3 mix nachos and fajita. The food is fresh and very good! The drinks are good as well. We get take out from here but there is plenty of seating and they plan authentic music.“

“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.“

“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“

“I ate at Los Caballeros during a solo trip to Washington, DC, and this was by far the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. It’s such a quaint little spot tucked away closed to the Capital.

I went around 3 PM, and there was only one other party inside, which made it feel cozy and relaxed. The staff was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the seafood enchiladas, which were absolutely fantastic and perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The rice that came with the meal was excellent, and their homemade salsa was on point.

I also ordered two frozen strawberry margaritas, and they were incredible — super slushy rather than icy, just the right consistency. Everything about this meal impressed me. I even recommended Los Caballeros to a friend visiting DC the following week.

If you’re in the area and craving authentic, flavorful Mexican food with great service, this place is a must-try! 🌮🍓🍹“

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

“great services! good drinks!“

“Just returned from a visit to Mexico, and had dinner at La Vida which brings some of the greatest MX ambience to DC. The food in MX is so varied and La Vida echos that. Very tasty tacos with seafood and beef for two of us and black mole on quesadillas for another guest, with a huge selection of drinks to go along. We will definitely be back to savor much more of the wonderfully promising menu!“

“I went to District Taco at the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. The menu has a variety of options to choose from, and luckily one of the staff there, Eimy, was really helpful with recommending what's most popular, as well as what she's personally grown to love. I'd definitely say I left satisfied. The vibes were good my whole time there, and there was very little wait time. I'll be going back and sharing it with those I know. Shout-out Emiy again, she hooked me up.“

“Food was Excellent.“

“I celebrated my birthday at Vera Cocina and it was a festive moment. From the moment the Belly Dancing show started, the atmosphere filled with energy. The belly dancing show was a full-body vibe and immersive. The performers didn’t just entertain; they invited us into the rhythm. The energy in the room was electric, thanks to performers who captivated every table and made sure no one felt like a spectator.

If I could wish for one more sparkle, it would be magic to see all the performers adorned in elevated costumes to match the brilliance of their presence. Still, the experience was unforgettable, a celebration of movement, flavor, and connection. Highly recommend for anyone looking to turn a meal into a moment.“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!!“

“The best taco spot around.“

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

“THIS SPOT & Ms. Indigo IS. THE. BOMB!! The food tasted great, the service was top tier, outside was a vibe, happy hour made me happier lol & this might just be my new spot! Wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a great time w/ great food This Is It. #Foodie4Real“

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

“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“

“Solid 4. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere, with plenty of open sunlight and a great location right on the wharf. The food was quite good, definitely above average and came out fairly quickly, which I appreciated.
That said, I was surprised that there weren’t any chips, salsa, or small bites offered before the meal to hold you over. For the price point, I expected a little more, both in terms of portion and overall experience. While I understand the cost is tied to the waterfront location, it still felt a bit steep for what you get.
Overall, it’s a pleasant spot with good food and a great view, but the value could be better. You'll leave happy but not satisfied.“

“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!“

“Reasonable wait time and prices, delicious tacos, especially the proteins, which was a welcome surprise. The lemonade wasn't so great, but with their big drinks selection and the fact that the 2 other drinks we had were good, I don't think it warrants taking a star off.“

“They got fantastic food!

Trust me, although the atmosphere is very basic and even there’s no AC, the food is awesome! Sometimes they will be slow at preparing food when there are more ppl waiting because they only have two chefs. But every food is made fresh, no premade food. I have been there many times and it’s one of my favorites.“

“This spot was recommended by a friend while I was visiting town, and I’m so glad we stopped in for dinner. The food and drinks were excellent, and our server was fantastic. He gave a thorough breakdown of the menu. As a pescatarian, I especially appreciated the options. The shrimp ceviche and shrimp tempura were both fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in town!“
