38 Best Mexican Restaurants in Arlington

“This place has really good food! I’m really picky with Mexican/latin food, but this place had really good food. However, their service is what kept me coming back. We sat at the bar and we had really great service. Carlos, Elizabeth, and Angie
were really great. They were really nice!!! I recommend this place and when you do come ask for them! You won’t be disappointed !“

“I was so lucky to be able to try this truck a few times when the first started a couple of years ago and loved it then. I brought some international colleagues to this truck, making big promises, and Tacos Mi Rancho is still my favorite truck after all these years. With the 3 year gap of having it, it was still the best taco truck in my opinion. Food came out fast even though they had a long line of customers and the quesobirria was perfect as always. I also think they price very reasonably! My international colleagues were blown away by their food.“

“Very beautiful place the food is amazing and the service is very good thank you“

“We forgot to take pictures before people dug in, but this should show you that the food was so delicious people couldn’t wait. Everything was wonderful, and delivery service was even a little early. The least favorite things of everyone was the corn tortillas, so maybe just stick with their flour ——But truly everything was delicious.“

“Great tacos from El Chilango. It’s great value for the money and made to order. Whenever in the area I try and stop by. I’ve tried a few different types of tacos from here and I stick to the steak and mixto. Additionally the onion and habanero mix that is offered on the side is nice touch. Recommend if I. The area.“

“Great job with the quesadilla regarding my dietary restrictions.“

“We had such a great lunch. Was so good…. All the family loved it“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“Amazing authentic food, warm and attentive staff. These people are the real deal! I highly recommend you find your way here!“

“We came and stayed in Arlington to attend an event in DC. My daughter loved the authentic. Mexican food so much we came back the next day. The first day we ordered carryoout and then the next day we dined in. The service was friendly but not attentive enough to us, for it to be only one other table seated. After sitting a lil while, finished with what I had, I did have to ask for someone to come over to help us, with an additional order, after our waitress got off. They were nice, but you just never know, who can be reviewing you these days. The food, service and atmosphere all gets rated. Not bad enough to keep us from coming back. The Birria tacos were delicious!“

“Had the Pleasure of Djing there“

“We took a group of 60 people to this place for dinner and it was half adults and half 5th Graders. Nestor was so accommodating and the staff was amazing! The food was even better.“

“Great food, great people, great place. The tamal de elote and pupusas revueltas can't be beat. El Tipico is the perfect dish, everyone in the family loves it, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is delicious.“

“Visiting from Birmingham, this was some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever had. It was very affordable and delicious.“

“I LOVE this taco truck! Everything is alway amazing!“

“Ordered carry out so can only comment on the food. But the birria quesadilla was a 10/10. U can tell that the chef thought about the experience of eating it. Throughout the quesadilla there were spots of avocado where it was a fresh bite to cut through the richness of the meat. The peppers on the side were so yummy and provided an acid hit while eating the quesadilla. Haven’t had a 10/10 meal in a while!“

“My regular lunch, dinner & even hang out spot. Very welcoming atmosphere & the employees are great. My favorites are the chicken tostadas and the Al pastor tacos. You can’t go wrong with the ceviche! Ohh and the margaritas so good!“

“They have the best carne asada already marinated. It’s a little dirty and looks like it’s ready to fall down. But again, the carne asada is so good! Try the Horchata, it’s really good, the candy selection was very disappointing, it was out of date and didn’t realize until I got home“

“The service is fantastic, order is taken by the sweetest lady ever who brings a smile to my face every time. From the time I had the tacos, I came back every single day for lunch because they were so good, and only recently lowered the frequency solely for the purpose of my self imposed budget and diet. I crave this place constantly and it's so good - love all of their tacos, and their soups are consistently good.

Edit: I'm seeing a review below giving this place a 1 star due to them taking orders from someone else first. As a new regular, I highly doubt this happened. And if it did, I am sure it was not malicious and they did not see.“

“Great food, great price point. Happy hour deals M-F 3-7 and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will eat there every day from today through Monday.“

“The tortillas taste fresh and have an amazing texture, and the chicken tacos were absolutely phenomenal—juicy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they put care into the ingredients. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Awesome food! Large portions! Very nice folks. Couldn't be better :) We lived in New Mexico for 17yrs. This is authentic Mexican... and so delicious!“

“Tasty tacos from nice folks. Definitely staying in the rotation 😋“

“First time I’ve tried Salvadoran cuisine. Based on the bartender/server’s suggestion, I ordered the carne guisada, which is stewed beef served with rice, salad, and tortillas. It was very delicious and filling. This will be one place I’d come back to whenever I travel back to the area.“

“This place rocks! Best margaritas in town. Friendly staff. Fantastic food.“

“delicious food and good service“

“Muy buen ambiente buena atención“

“We had such a great experience at Uncle Julio's in Arlington, VA! The Spicy Grilled Shrimp Street Tacos were absolutely delicious. The combination of the perfectly seasoned shrimp and the fresh toppings made every bite so flavorful. They were definitely my favorite!

My daughter shared the Taco Bar Tuesday, and she absolutely loved it. It was such a fun and interactive meal, served on a spinning tray with plenty of fresh toppings to build your own tacos. It was perfect for sharing and reasonably priced too.

One of the best parts of our visit was the atmosphere. We chose to sit outside, where we enjoyed the beautiful city views while listening to live music. It created such a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Arlington!“

“I enjoyed 3 tacos al pastor. I like that the taco meat wasnt spicy in itself and was given a side of hot as an option. I think a menu price would be great.. small limited menu I dont think they offer drinks (there’s a 7 eleven right up the street) but overall pretty good no frills spot & will definitely go again next time I am in that area“

“To the beautiful Guyanese woman, Suzanne, running the counter- you are a gift and should be treasured! Service was out of this world and the breakfast burrito was delicious. Suzanne really made me feel like I was at my family’s home instead of a cold airport. Thank you for your amazing service and food- she deserves a raise!!“

“Don Tito was a fantastic place to enjoy great food and drinks! The rooftop atmosphere was lively, fun, and offered a perfect setting for a night out. Whether you’re meeting friends or celebrating a special occasion, the vibe is hard to beat.

The food was flavorful, the cocktails were refreshing, and everything arrived quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

If you’re looking for a place with delicious food, great drinks, and an energetic atmosphere, Don Tito is definitely worth checking out. We’ll be back!“

“Carne asada tacos were great. Ribeye tacos 🌮 were bomb“

“Delicious! Simply delicious and authentic Mexican Tacos. I stumbled upon this food truck searching for food at Whole Foods couldn’t have been more grateful for the find. It was exactly what I was looking for, healthy, authentic, Mexican tacos….I slammed a burrito and Avena drink as well hehe.“

“This is the single greatest burrito I’ve had in my entire life“

“This was the first time I have eaten here. OMG! The Anitarita is to die for!!!! The food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely be returning!“
