50 Best Mexican Restaurants near New Carrollton

“todo muy rico buen trato“

“I give the food 3 stars since lately every time I order guacamole I get a big piece of hard avocado and it hasn't been pleasant. When I go to complain to the employees, although they have always offered me a new portion of the guacamole, it is obvious that they are uncomfortable with the complaint.“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

“This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions during planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.

Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.“

“excelente servicio oscuro es pilas Sandra muy amable y en general todos son amigables un 10“

“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!“

“the food was amazing and delicious. I will be back!“

“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“

“My go to takeout order is the tandoori chicken platter! If you’re a busy person & bulking on your workout journey, you can always rely on this restaurant for delicious, homemade tasting food. The tandoori platter is a generous serving, can make 2 meals out it. Not to mention the customer service is fantastic! The owner knew my order after the first time I came in & is such a kind person!“

“Very authentic food. I had the fish taco. First time eating them and being their. Very nice.“

“Our server was Daisy. A previous reviewer said Daisy was sweet and attentive, and that’s exactly right. My 8-year-old said she was “my favorite waitress I’ve ever had.” The food was also very good, the spicy house margarita excellent. We’ll be back!

Kid-friendliness: Great kid’s menu“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Excellent food! Will return!“

“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!“

“I got a carnitas burrito bowl the “Jefe way”with lettuce, pico de gallo, veggies, cheese, and sour cream as my toppings. I also added grilled corn.

I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size for the price (close to $12). I can split this meal into two servings.

The veggies were very fresh! Next time, I’ll get less toppings though because I couldn’t savor the flavor of the carnitas as much. I’d also like to try their spicier salsas. (I got the chiltomate, which has a medium spice level. It was okay.)

The staff were very sweet and helpful. I hope to come back when I’m in the area again.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome! The food is always fresh, they are consistent, kind, and the menu is great. Try the ceviche mixto and the salsa here (ask for the habanero salsa as well). They are addictive! I really enjoy this place. Keep up the great work!“

“Great place to hang out, A place where you can find the best social Dane party in town. Thursday is my favorite day to dance Latin music.“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“Los tacos super ricos RECOMENDADOS“

“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“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Pink Taco during my trip to D.C., and my experience was made exceptional by Miish, the bartender. She crafted an incredible Cadillac margarita that hit all the right notes—perfectly balanced and just the right amount of kick. Beyond her skills behind the bar, Miish was a delight to chat with. She was warm, engaging, and truly added a special touch to my visit. If you're in D.C. and looking for a great drink and even better company, be sure to ask for Miish—you won't be disappointed!“

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

“They make amazing pupusas there huge and delicious 😋 Also there burritos/ Mexican tortas. They are very kind people family owned“

“We are addicted to this place. I literally will randomly crave THEIR fish burritos. The burritos are huge and stuffed! (I never remember to take a picture of it before starting to eat…)
Customer service is great, prices are reasonable, and omg, the food is sooo good. We always get takeout, but the interior always seems nice and clean. You have to park on a street nearby, but we’ve never had to walk more than a block.

Parking: There are neighborhoods nearby where there is typically a good amount of street parking. You might have to walk about a block, but nothing excessive. I’ve never had an issue!“

“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“

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

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“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.“

“We have been patrons of Tampico for years. Always good food and satisfying. We are fans of their steak burrito w/ Chipolte sauce, their shrimp agave , their portobello enchilada, and their seafood enchilada. Their salsa and chips are always a welcome start to the meal. They are a local favorite for a reason. Recommend you give them a try if you are in the area.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Super delicious“

“These tacos are absolutely incredible! They remind me of the authentic tacos I enjoyed in Mexico, with their fresh lime, cilantro, and white onion toppings. Truly delicious. Support this restaurant—you won't be disappointed! #IYKYK

Vegetarian options: Rice and beans, chips and guac, and chips

Dietary restrictions: Beans and Rice are vegetarian.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“best birria tacos 🤤🤤🤤🤤 recomend“

“Julia and her shift team were so nice to me when I had a bit of a rough day. I got nachos and for the first time in life topped with my favorite veggie Brussels sprouts. All very delish! I ate half there and half in the car. Stellar customer service and great food - and the place was clean!“

“Food is amazing, highly recommend!! *****“

“tiene buen sabor la comida luce limpio el lugar bastante parkeo“

“Been my new favorite spot last few months. The Carne Asada or Chorizo taco VERY GOOD. And very well priced.“
