“We have ordered to go a couple of times the service is fast and awesome! The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and how things are prepared! The food is phenomenal! It's so good and there is so much to try! We are definitely going to be long time customers!!!“
“A Mexican restaurant with some surprises. One of us got cajun jambalaya. Not Mexican. Not bad. I wasn't looking for a touch of New Orleans, but they nailed the sauce, with chicken and shrimp cooked just right. Our other dishes were traditional: shrimp fajitas and chicken fajitas. Again properly cooked and seasoned. Plenty of components to add into the tortilla wrapper. We finished with tres leches dessert. Moist and sweet as it was designed. Is 4 stars harsh? I based it on other Mexican restaurants that are on this level. For 5 stars, I needed them to be a cut above.“
“We started stopping by Baja Fresh now and then for a quick lunch, and it has quickly become a new favorite lunch spot. The food is fresh, very reasonably priced, large portions and welcoming and polite staff.P.S. the house nachos with salsa they offer everyone as an appetizer is appreciated!“

“We have been to Juanita's twice now...a true hidden gem! The family is so nice, excellent service and truly delicious food. The prices are extremely reasonable for the amount and quality of the food that you get. This time, we tried the beef, chicken, and shrimp fajitas, the carnitas burrito, and the chips and salsa (I wish they sold it in bottles). The chips were clearly made while we were waiting...I've never had any like them! Absolutely delicious and packed with flavor and freshness. We're adding Juanita's to our regular rotation :)“
“My partner and I were searching for a quick dinner spot and managed to find Taqueria Xintli a few minutes from us. We stopped by and are happy to have found it.The basics:- They have tacos, tortas, quesadillas, sopes, gorditas, burritos, and a few other popular Mexican dishes- They also have natural aguas frescas (tamarindo, Jamaica, horchata, etc)- They don’t have any seating so be prepared to eat in your car or to do takeout/pickup- We placed our order at the window and waited about 20 mins for our food- The lady who took our order was polite and helpful.- They give you one red salsa and one green salsa, the latter is not spicy at all. The red one is spicy but flavorful.Food review:- We got a carne asada sope, carne asada taco, carne asada quesadilla, pollo taco, and pollo sope- My partner got the tacos and he said they had a lot of meat and that they’re well seasoned. He does wish the meat was slightly less salty, but I think that’s true for the meat regardless of the dish.- The sopes also came with refried black beans, lettuce, sour cream and cheese. The masa was thick enough to provide a strong base, which isn’t always the case at other restaurants. The one thing I wish they would improve on the sopes is the amount of lettuce they top them with. The chicken one barely had any which left me wondering if the texture would’ve been more balanced.- The quesadilla was HUGE. I had no idea it would be long. In pictures it’s easy to be deceived, but the one I’ve attached in my review very easily stretched across my lap (and I’m not a tiny woman). Definitely make sure it consider the size when ordering, because you will likely not have room for anything else, if you manage to finish it. I couldn’t finish it because I dug into my chicken sope first. The area for improvement with the quesadilla is the amount of cheese that they put into it. I understand you can’t have a quesadilla without cheese, but they went a little overboard. I couldn’t really taste much of anything else and I wasn’t the biggest fan. I found myself removing some of the cheese to have more balanced bites. Overall, this was my least favorite item from today.- We also tried the chocolate caliente and agua de tamarindo. The chocolate seems to be water-based and has hints of masa and cinnamon, so it’s almost like a chocolate atole, but much darker and less thick. The agua de tamarindo is refreshing and perfectly smooth. You can actually tell it’s made in-house and not from some powder. The tamarind pulp isn’t present in terms of texture, but you definitely still taste it in the drink, which leads for the perfect balance.TLDR; Give them a try if you’re tired of the local Mexican food scene in the DMV. They have authentic flavors and dishes, with vegetarian inclusive dishes available too.“
“Place was very cleaned and the staff was very attentive and bilingual especially Lucia our cashier, who was very patient and kind during our visit and especially when we added a second bag of chips and salsa at the last minute. Definitely will be coming back to this establishment.“
“Place has a very chill environment. The cook is very sweet and polite. She made the food in prompt timing. She also served our food. My son and I went on a Thursday noon, it wasn't busy at all. Very quiet if you'd like to sit and eat in peace. Food was good, menu layout could improve perhaps add pictures to it to make it easier for people who aren't familiar with Latin food. A little more lighting and a little background music could be convenient too:)“
“Although it was mostly empty when we visited on a weekday evening, the venue and convenient location are appealing. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to like. Being first time here, and not knowing the regular portions and size of the chicken, we ordered the whole chicken family meal with 3 sides. It was much more than we could handle. The chicken was good. I think he gave us an extra piece (leftover?) and perhaps that's why we had so much. The Brussels Sprouts was the star of the place - sweet and savory, delicious. 5 stars! We changed our mind at the last minute, and decided to eat in. Can't say it's the cold temperature, but the chicken was cold to the touch for some reason. Maybe it was the extra piece we got. Regardless, it's worth a trip, and will visit again when I have a craving for Peruvian cuisine.“
