38 Best Mexican Restaurants in Arlington

“We were hungry on a Friday night and as traditional Catholics, many of us observe the meat fasting on Fridays every Friday, so we decided to get some food where we could quickly get seafood on a Friday night. A few of us got some shrimp quesadillas and I was honestly surprised at how comforting tbe quesadillas were. Coming from Texas and from a mexican household, it definitely held up to the quesadilla standard. Good stuff.“

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

“Great tacos! I ordered pastor and chorizo tacos and the flavors were great. Service was quick and friendly. There's one long picnic table for customers to sit, otherwise it's great for take away. Highly recommended, would definitely go again.“

“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.“

“I ordered the taco bar for a party and it was fabulous. The great thing about District Taco is that they provide everything from the delicious food to the chafing dishes/sterno, plates, utensils--everything. It really contributed greatly to the party and the food exceeded my expectations. Shout out to the delivery service they use for catering; they came in and set up the chafing dishes and food and it was a much more full-service experience than I expected. Pleasantly surprised by that. Highly recommend District Taco for their catering!“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Los Tios Grill is always consistent — the food tastes amazing every single time. The staff is super friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Plus, there’s plenty of parking right behind the building, so it’s easy to get in and out. It is also within walking distance from many apartments and hotels. They have a covered patio as well for outdoor seating. Definitely one of my go‑to spots in Arlington! 🌮“

“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!“

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

“We arrived right as a large group of school children were leaving. But this would be a great place for feeding a large group of kiddos.
I think the chips were some of my least favorite. I’ve ever had extremely salty on the edge of stale.
But I watched the staff cleaning as it was the end of the day and it was great to see them paying such great attention to detail.

Also, I had one of the best fish tacos ever so would 10 out of 10. Recommend that I’m super picky and don’t usually like Mexican food and I have to say I would ho back to eat at this place.“

“Muy buen ambiente buena atención“

“delicious food and good service“

“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“

“We recently hosted an event on the rooftop at Don Tito and had a great experience from start to finish. The rooftop space was beautiful, with great views and a strong atmosphere for a networking event. We worked with Jessica, who was extremely organized, responsive, and detailed throughout the entire process. The communication was truly high-level, including quick responses even outside normal business hours, which made a huge difference. The pricing was fair, the event was well coordinated, and everything came together smoothly. We would definitely recommend Don Tito for events and hope to work with them again in the future.“

“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!!“

“This place, for the money punches so far above its weight. There's a reason they've survived for like 30 years in the face of all of the new fad places popping up. Get the carne asada, it's insane for the price of beef nowadays.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“One if the best places ever.Not just for food,but that if a kind word.A must go to place“

“Buena Comida 🥘 La Atención Excelente“
