50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Spencerville

“What a wonderful surprise. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the breakfast tacos with steak and the birria tacos. The meat was so tender and juicy and seasoned to perfection. The lemonade was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. The atmosphere made me feel as if I was in a taqueria across the border and the service was phenomenal as well.“

“I came to Tacombi for the first time for a work happy hour and we had a great time! Very happy with the food (delicious, fresh tacos), drinks (spicy margarita and watermelon tequila drink were a hit!), and the service was friendly and prompt. The open patio atmosphere added to to a lovely evening. Highly recommend!“

“Authentic, delicious Oaxacan food! The owners are so passionate – not only is the food spectacular but you will also come away knowing so much more about regional Mexican cuisine. DC has needed a restaurant like this for a loooooong time. Go eat there and support them as soon as possible!!!“

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

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

“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!!“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Very nice place good flavor decent prices some may say it’s better than chipotle some say it’s not, my only gripe for me is I’ll avoid the onions not because I don’t like them but only because the chop is big and can overpower your food other than that yummy in my tummy“

“DMV Taqueria food truck is highly recommended! It’s smart to call in your order as they’ve grown in popularity as the word’s gotten out. My neighbor loves their chicken quesadillas. My favorite is the shrimp quesadillas, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I understand the churros are a favorite too, though I’ve not personally tried them. The drive home is brutal. The food smells so amazing, I can’t park the car fast enough. 5⭐️“

“The food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the people were incredible. They wanted our dining experience to be enjoyable“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“This is honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted! I’m from Chicago, and I’ve had plenty of great Mexican food, but this place honestly beats a lot of the spots back home. You can really taste the love and passion that goes into the food, and the two wonderful ladies who prepared it were amazing.

The gentleman who greeted us was also incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell this place truly cares about its customers and the food they serve.

We’ll definitely be coming back before we head back to Chicago. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try! ❤🇲🇽“

“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.“

“Visited San Pacho today and overall had a really solid experience. I had the quesadilla, and my friend got the California burrito—which comes loaded with fries inside and was honestly really good and filling. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer non-alcoholic slushies. I tried the guava one and it was so good, super refreshing and definitely a standout. I was a little surprised they don’t offer tacos, but the menu still has great options that hit the spot. The food, staff, and overall vibe were all on point—friendly service and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Only heads-up is parking can be a bit tricky on busier days, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great spot I’d definitely come back to.“

“Good service, great food!“

“A perfect Friday night! Our server, Gabriela had the best vibe! We were outside on the patio with an in-house blueberry lemonade, tearing up the Salmon Brava. And my mama (a devoted regular) swears by the Cadillac margarita paired with Tres Michelen and Boom Boom Tostadas!!!“

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“The fish tacos are so good—the sauce has a great sweet and sour balance, and the grilled fish smells amazing. The pulled pork sandwich is super tender, the sauce isn't too sweet, and the toasted bread is perfect. Staff is friendly.“

“Fui almorzar y me pedí una fajita de carne y estaba muy buena, la recomendo.“

“Very nice 👍 and delicious“

“HAPPY hour appetizers & drinks. 4p-7p.“

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

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Good service, great food!“

“The food is amazing, if you want the best here is the place. Scott“

“Always great service /food/drinks we will always return“

“The food here is amazing. The atmosphere is wonderful and (to my knowledge) this is authentic Salvadoran food. The rotisserie chicken was the star of the show. I got half a bird with rice and plantains. I made a rookie mistake and got 4 hot sauces instead of the 2 hots and 2 milds. Definitely start with the mild unless you really like the heat. The skin was so crispy and the chicken breast were juicy. The music and the smell of charcoal is the best part. I would recommend calling in your order or placing it online. I waited about 15 minutes for my bird, but it was worth it because I knew it was fresh. I will definitely check this place out again in the future.“

“always consistently good food“

“Been a fan since they were under the Tippy's sombrero...quality hasn't changed a bit in 40+ years...“

“Overall going here consistently everything is great however something I noticed is that the verde is not being properly made the cilantro is supposed to be blended 4ozs of cilantro salt and 1 bag of verde every time I see it it is looking like someone just finely chopped cilantro and mixed it in. Highly recommend fixing asap to keep quality up.“

“My family and I have been coming to El Azteca since I was little. The food and the service have always been excellent. When I think of going out for dinner with my family, I always picture El Azteca—always. Highly recommended 👌👌“

“My son and I visited El Golfo Restaurant last weekend. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu options. Our meals were generously sized and delicious. Live music was playing and a nice addition to the atmosphere. We would highly recommend this authentic and reasonably priced restaurant.“

“No muy bien siempre. Me gusta comer allí pero. Cuando ordeno para llevar siempre pido mis tacos sin sebolla y sin silantro. Y siempre me le ponen. Y. No entiendo porque si claramente digo sin sebolla. Ni silantro. eso me molesta porque mis hijos no los comen y solo se echan aperder deberían de. Ser más atentos ala orden. Que uno ase“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“
