Latin American Restaurants near Baileys Crossroads

“Excellent flavor for lovers of Latin food, only the place has little space.The service is good and as in all places you wait half an hour, so it is advisable not to arrive very hungry.Parking: They have ample parking, the loroco pupusas are recommended, the soups are very good, it's just that the place is very narrow and it is better to order to go“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“Great food great service!“

“A consistently great spot in the neighborhood no matter what time of day. Excellent coffee drinks and pastry items (especially the Guava Pastry) in the morning, lunch options for a real meal, and cocktails and food for dinner. Food can be a little expensive depending on the dish, but there has never been a bad one! Cocktails are always creative and well balanced as well.“

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“One of the best spots in the DMV hands down. I wanted to check out the place for some time because I had never experienced Taco Tuesday for myself. Like it was just lingering in my head until one day I suddenly said to myself, " I should really try something new today ". And thus, here we are with a review. La Tingeria is a Taco Shop located in Falls Church. If there's one thing I will have to mention, the parking situation is like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle. Why are there so many cars here? How can anyone park here? There's parking on the streets, the sidewalk but it's very limited. I'm not saying there are better options close to you but if you are briefly going in to pick up food, I think you'd be okay with parking relatively close by. I must have hit the lottery when I accidently checked Instagram or so on Tuesday. Saw a post from where their social media representative mentioned 5-9 PM for 2 dollar Tacos. That's amazing! I decided to splurge because why not right? After parking, I ventured inside. I think I must have been the first to walk in once it hit 5 PM, I was on a mission for sure. I immediately went to the board to check out all the Taco Items they had.. Birria, Chorizo, Hal Pastor, Carne Asada, ect... So many good options. I got 2 Birria Goat, 2 Birria Beef, 1 Tinga Chicken, 1 Tinga Beef, 2 Chorizos for my choice of tacos. I also paid for Consomme which is an absolute must if I'm going to dip my tacos in delicious broth. I also had to get a Mexican Coke too. The only downside was there was one that wasn't chilled so it was at room temperature. The Birria Goat/Beef were soft, tender chunks of meat that melted in your mouth with full bliss the minute you took a bite. Dipping it into the Consommé felt like a dream came true. I never experienced a wide array of euphoria after eating good tacos. The Tinga Chicken/Beef Tacos were okay but the meat kept falling out of the Taco and into the Consommé. It was good but I think I would opt for something else. The Chorizo tacos had a slight kick to them but not overpowering. I think with the Consommé they brought more of that saltiness out. For around 24 dollars, this is a match made in heaven. I think truly this is a place I will check out again for sure.“

“The atmosphere here is amazing, you immediately relax. The drinks were incredible and the food was out of this world! The best dining experience I’ve had in years, I left with a giant smile on my face. Wish Anthony Bourdain was alive to taste this place.“

“Nice place and fantastic show“

“I went to Sabores with friends for Restaurant Week. We had an incredible experience from beginning to end. Everything was delicious and the servings were more than generous. We left fully satisfied, and I know I will be back again and again! I highly recommend the roasted beet salad, the churrasco, and the passion fruit cheesecake. My friends loved the pan con jamon, the bacon wrapped dates, and the arepitas. Really, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was beautiful. I loved that we could hold a conversation without yelling across the table at each other. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff and the manager/owner, Ale, who took such wonderful care of us.“

“I got the pollo frito with tostones on the side and a little pickled slaw on top. It was delicious - reminded me of how my grandma fried chicken. Crispy and flavorful. The tostones were crispy too. I just wish you got one more piece of chicken for $18. Overall, totally worth it.“

“Deliciosas empanadas y aperitivos con ese sabor Panameño que nos identifica y una atención excelente“

“buen lugar, excelente servicio, sabor tipico, buen sazon, bien servido el plato la gente increible y es uno recibido por el propietario douglas, excelentes palabras nos dio. recomendable 100%“

“Mama Chepas is fantastic and should be packed all the time! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days a week- no easy feat! Everything I've had there has been delicious. Favorites are Pollo con Tejadas, pupusas, fajitas, birria tacos, fish tacos, and bread pudding. Even their rice and beans are super flavorful! Portions are generous, prices are fair, and taste is outstanding. And the service is fast and friendly. It's easy to order takeout online as well. Don't sleep on this hidden gem!!! Let's make sure they stay in the neighborhood for a long time!“

“The first thing to notice is that they're 5 star is not ever heard of.Came in and was greeted with a hello and a nice smile. You could see the kitchen, and it was spotless along with the dining area. Limited menu, but less ite.s to chose from means food is fresh and cooked well.Order a sandwich, which was the best.“

“Nice draft bar And good food“

“Bar tenders were delightful, the view of the Capitol at night was spectacular and the food was so good I went back the following night to eat the same thing again! Chef stopped at the tables to check on his guests and thank them for coming!“

“The food, drinks and service was top notch. Thank you for a great night.“

“The food is excellent.! Come here and see...“

“While I haven't visited this restaurant in-person, my orders through GrubHub have been on point!! The chicken is flavorful and seasoned well, and juicy. The sides are filling and are also very good. I got the brussel sprouts and fries. The brussel sprouts are coated with a carmelized type of ingredient that packs a big much. The only negative about them is that they are usually pretty big which makes it hard to eat them whole like normal sized ones, so keep a knife handy to cut them smaller. The fries were also very good. I must say the sauces are probably the best I've had out of all similar chicken spots, especially the green sauce!! Oh my, my, my!!! I just had them for lunch today and I'm really contemplating on ordering them for dinner - they are just that good!“

“It's spot on El Salvadoran food and affordable. Grab a pupusa, you won't regret it.“

“My favorite restaurant. The food and drink are delicious. Reyna and Nico make you feel like family and they cater too. I often have them make food when I go to a party.You must try them out, just a lot of fun.Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to shellfish and they are extremely careful and safe.Kid-friendliness: They love kids of all ages.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to get in and be comfortable“

“10/10, took my wife for our 15 year anniversary and she loved, every delicious bite, every plate had a story to tell,such a wonderful and memorable experience. Gracias!!!“

“I am so happy to have a restaurant of this caliber in Friendship Heights. It's the sort of dining experience I expect to have downtown but I'm thrilled to have it just around the corner from my home. We came in without reservations on a Saturday night and had no problem getting a table (again, a place like this would be packed if it were downtown or somewhere like U Street). The food, cocktails, and service were great. Jose took good care of us. They are not kidding when they say the XL plates are meant to be shared--we split the short rib sandwich and it was massive. We ordered a few appetizers and the scallops with the toasted bread was our favorite (maybe ask for more bread so you can fully soak up that excellent parmesan sauce!). And leave room for dessert! We had the ube ice cream and it was fantastic.“

“Found restaurant while looking for an affordable place near our downtown hotel within walking distance. Food was great. Wish there had been a little better description when ordering, but it likely would have caused me to order more. Wish they had fountain soda rather then cans only.“

“Saga restaurant in DC offers a delightful dining experience with its fresh vegetables and fruit, complemented by a selection of top-quality teas. The attentive staff ensures a pleasant atmosphere, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.“

“I was in the mood for pancakes, but not really any decent places to choose from in the Gunston area. A quick Google search turned this place up, and boy was I happy to find it!! Pancakes were light, fluffy, and buttery and spot on. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu. The young lady that took my order was very sweet. The establishment was very clean and well organized, which is the opposite of all other business park eateries I’ve been in. Will be going back often. :)“

“A fantastic place with fantastic food and superb service!Some friends and I had come here by pure chance and we were nothing less than extremely satisfied with our choice of a restaurant.I will definitely be keeping this place in mind should I be in the area!“

“The chicken is always amazing!!“

“Great food and delightful Service. Bartender Nelson is the best“

“I started coming here about 15 years ago but have since moved away. I make it a point to come here every time I come to visit family. Hands down the best rotisserie chicken you will ever have. End of story. Out of this world juicy and flavorful.“

“Stopped by here with my sister and ordered a pork and cheese popusa and the Guatemalan style steak, which came with Pico, avocado, rice, beans, 2 tortillas, and a cheese whose name eludes me but was delicious. Everything was fantastic. The portions were generous, the tortillas were made in house and delicious, and the steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. All together, it was about $20 which was a bargain for the quantity and quality. Our waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere is great. I will be coming back. I've been to tons of south American places and I can say this is one of my favorites. I will definitely be coming back“

“La bicicletta was delicious! Dropped by for a mid-day brunch and was super impressed by the food. I got two breakfast tacos- one guisada and one chorizo. My sister got the veggie enchiladas. Portions were very generous and ingredients seemed super fresh. Check them out!“

“Nice really nice small Guatemalan restaurant in the heart of Washington DC!Service was really good (one lady show) perfect. Waiting time was short!Food was great… Guate tamales extremely good… freshly fried chicken empanadas!! Guac n chips.. guac could be a bit more, true Guatemalan flavor… and crema… good crema!

“My wife and I came for our anniversary celebration. Our server, Gabby, was so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We especially enjoyed the Churrasco roll, the Limo y Lima (cocktail), and the Latino Heat (mocktail). Even though we didn’t have a reservation, the staff did a phenomenal job acknowledging our special night and making the experience special. We will certainly be back.“

“Son muy amables bien servicio las bebidas excelentes muy buena comida yo les recomiendo“

“Food was delicious!! Service was excellent!! People were so friendly! Love it here!!“

“Arepa Zone has great food and service. I've tried multiple things here, and some of the entrees that I would personally recommend to people are the canosa arepa, pabellon arepa, and arepa domino. There's also the pabellon bowl, which you can choose between beef, chicken, pork, and veggie. I love how, with the beef pabellon bowl, the beef is cooked with a sort of stew flavor, while the beans don't have too much liquid, as it can be sometimes with Chipotle. There's also a good amount of basmati rice, which could use a bit more flavoring in my opinion, but the flavor of the plantain complements the beef.Overall, I highly recommend the pabellon bowls and arepas. Arepas are quite filling, so I would say that they are worth the price you receive. Pabellon bowls are fairly reasonable for being in DC.Vegetarian options: They have vegan and vegetarian arepas, and veggie pabellon bowlsDietary restrictions: They offer gluten-free options.Wheelchair accessibility: It is in Western Market, which has a ramp.“

“When you need a taste of Bolivia, whether you are Bolivian or not, stop by Saya Salteña in DC. Their food is great! They have salteñas, humintas, relleno de papa, cuñapes, sopa de mani, and so much more. Oh, how could I forget, they have my favorite, mocochinchi. And to add the cherry on top their customer service is superb! A definite must have.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian salteñas.“

“Food was authentic and extremely good. The drinks were spot on also, I'd drive hours just to go back. I will say the host/ess was not friendly or inviting which caused us to worry about the service. In that respect our waiter was friendly and outstanding!Vegetarian options: I think they can make most dish vegetarian but it would be nice to have some type of vegetarian/vegan dish that would be somewhat authentic.Dietary restrictions: Accommodating as they can be.“

“Great tacos Nice atmosphere“

“Their Halal Chicken x Latin Dry Rubs x Mediterranean Spices come together so well in their BYO (Build Your Own) Chicken Bowls.I love ordering their chicken bowls with Huli chicken and then making it perfect to my taste buds with the additional sides.[[Food: 5 of 5]]Adding avocados, grilled corn, cojita cheese, feta cheese, add pita chips for crunchy chips, drizzled with their Huli Signature dressing and Jalapeno dressing for a nice kick. [[Service: 5 of 5]]I usually always order online because it's convenient for me but I have ordered in store once or twice and the staff is always nice. You can ask them for recommendations and they'll be honest of their answers.[[Ambiance]]It's quiet and there's usually no customers when I come here. It's a chill spot if you want to have a quick lunch.“

“Absolutely amazing. I've been craving birria and when I saw that they had a birria pizza I was so excited. The green salsa was spicy and delicious ask my toddler he wouldn't stop dipping his piece in it. The birria it's self is juicy and perfectly seasoned. The Jamaica drink is incredible never had it till tonight. The staff are very friendly. Definitely coming back.“

“We ate in J&J when staying I the area. The food was fantastic. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.“

“Arepas deliciosas con sabor Colombiano“

“Casual no frills Churrasqueria in a strip mall. Attentive quick and very friendly service. Good selection of wines by the glass and smoothies made of fresh fruits.We ordered the special platters: short ribs, steak, Argentine sausages are delicious; the unusual blood pudding, and liver stuffed intestine are tasty if you are feeling adventurous. The chicken and pork chops are marinated well but a bit on the dry side.$84 appears pricy but fed us, two hungry adults and one starving kid with the pork and chicken remaining.“

“Friendly service! Try the chicken baleada! Pair it with fried plantains and guanabana!“

“So good! We had two arepas ($4.50-$5 each), the caraqueña and the la spicy tinga! Both arepas were stuffed to the brim, great flavors and filled us up! Also had the maracuya agua fresca (passion fruit juice) and it was great, not too sweet and flavorful!For dessert we had the churros and they were freshly made, hot and delicious!Staff were also very friendly and you can try the different juices.Highly recommend and will come back to try their bowls, burritos and other arepas!The inside is also cute, with lots of seating options.“
