“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! 🌮🍓🍹“

Definitely get why this is a post-night out favorite; significantly better than your late night Taco Bell run.“
