50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Dale City

“I don't expect much when I order food at Taco Bell. I kind of expected to be slow and I expect to have to triple check the order but this time was different. The guy who took my order, Don, was very polite and knowledgeable also articulate, and the food came out quickly and it was exactly what I ordered it was nice to have fast fast food for a change and with the very polite staff. So two thumbs up.“

“Best birria tacos ever! Make sure you get the sides, rice, beans, esquiotes (elotes in a bowl). It was so good we got food to go to eat tomorrow. We live 60 miles away and unanimously agreed to come back here just for the food. They are getting a liquor license and will start serving drinks next week. I can't wait to return. Additional bonus, the staff was awesome, friendly, helpful, hospitable and the food came out quickly.“

“Great place for delicious authentic Mexican food. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the food is on point!“

“The BEST Mexican food truck in the area! It is super authentic and always fresh. The food is amazing but in particular they’re made to order tamales. You have to contact the owners wife and get a minimum of 12 either chicken, pork, or rajas but trust me it’s worth it!“

“My last visit I got a beef burrito, rice and salad. My whole meal was salty 🧂 beyond belief 😫. I only ate chips, dip and two bites of my meal before paying 🙃 and leaving. I was disappointed, discussed and tired. Just wanted to get home and out of the 95, 64 traffic!“

“Very good and friendly swevers.“

“I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing!“

“First time at Uncle Rico's today, before my wife's physical therapy at PT Solutions. We shared the Mexican Platter. Excellent!“

“This hole in the wall did not disappoint! I couldn’t read the menu in Spanish but I was assisted in clear English which was helpful and I ordered what was recommended for my hankerings. The beef tacos seemed traditional Mexican style and they were so tasty! I got 3 to the order that were very filling. I’m fairly certain the tortillas were hand made, they certainly tasted fresh and homemade with something like pico & beef inside, topped with radish and cucumber, side of lime and the best sauce. So good! I wish I’d taken a pic because the presentation was nice. I ordered tamales to go and will have them later. They were wrapped very well and kept warm while I sat to eat. It smells delicious. I’m not local or I’d return.“

“Good eats, reminds me of UMBC days @bj“

“Big plate of good food for a reasonable price“

“By far my favorite Sushi place!“

“Tacos al pastor rikisimos!!!“

“The best tacos around the area without a doubt. As a Mexican, it is tough to find good tacos around here and we always prefer homemade. But these tacos are legit. The taste is authentic and simply to die for!🤤 The queso birria tacos with the consomé are amazing! The tortas and the consomé on its own are delicious as well. Everything is top tier. Wishing continued success to Tacos El Vale✨“

“This place making a killing! The rice is not Mexican it taste peruvian....Peruvian..... but the rest they nailed it I thought it was knocked down . But I was told they moved across the street. from route 1 widening. But the rice does not taste Mexican everything else was great!!“

“Mi plato favorito, Jambalaya! Muy bueno!“

“As a South Texan transplant in the DC area, District Taco was the end of a years-long search for a PROPER breakfast taco. It tastes like home, the salsa is pure joy and the staff are always nice and expedient.

Do I hate having to drive 30 mins to find breakfast tacos? Yes. But the heart wants what the heart wants; it's worth it.“

“Me gusta, muy buena atencion, lugar comodo y aseado. aun me falta provar todo el menú, compré pupusas están buenas, aunq aun pueden mejorar..“

“Went in for lunch today. First the place was very clean. No greasy floors or tables. Even the salsa bar was clean!

Ordered flautas and a torta. Both were delicious. Flautas perfectly crispy, beans were really good. Great presentation and a very good portion. My friend loved her sandwich as well. Sauces were varied in spice level so something for everyone.

Great service! Would definitely go back.“

“Best authentic Mexican around! I usually go for the Quesabirria. Its a hit every time! These other reviews saying that the service is garbage have got to be spineless people who were rude from the start. Been here more then ten time and have yet to have a bad experience! Keep up the good work!“

“Karaoke bar every Thursday to Sunday from 8 pm to 2 am“

“Great food. The service was quick And our waiter was amazing.“

“Every time I’ve come here I’ve had a good experience. I love the tostadas de tinga! El jugo de Jamaica is bomb. There is one lady who works here who is so nice I don’t know her name she might be the owners daughter but she is so welcoming.“

“This place RULES. Their quesadillas are amazing and probably the best in all of NOVA.“

“My choice over Chipotle any day!“

“I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing!“

“Delicious food. Service took a while which is expected. Its more of a take out spot if you are looking for atmosphere.“

“Pupusas were excellent. Kids enjoyed the tacos too. Enchiladas not spicy. The guacamole was surprisingly underseasoned but the chips were fresh and crispy. We added salt and fared well. The atmosphere is more of an adult atmosphere-- full bar, sports, pool tables, etc. You can tell it's for nightlife. But for lunch it was fine w kids. All of us were amazingly full esp for the price. Worth a stop.“

“The first time we went here we weren't impressed. However, one of the owners reached out to us personally and invited us back. We have been back twice. They are awesome! The food is yummy and reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly! Only downside is they now do not have fountain drinks (cans only) but I think that's just a sign of the time of living in a pandemic. Hopefully, when we return to a somewhat normal existence this will be back. Love Guapo's and highly recommend!“

“I purchased almost everything on their menu, my family and I have tried their tacos de carne asada and pollo, torta de carne asada, and their quesadilla de birria. I have no complaints on the tacos or tortas. They tasted amazing. Their birria is a little saltier than I would want it to be. Their side of consome and rice is so delicious. I wouldn't mind going again just for tacos and tortas. I cant wait to try their steak and cheese subs. I'm looking forward to trying that next. I spent almost $50 wiht 2 quesdillas de birria, 3 tacos de carne asada, 3 de pollo, a torta de asada and a sidral. For that much food no complaints“

“My husband and I are visiting the area but I grew up in Virginia so we are familiar with the area. We were looking for a Peruvian chicken experience. We found a delicious diverse menu full of Peruvian specialties at a super affordable price!

The waitstaff are extremely friendly and helpful. On the day of our visit there was a young lady preparing fresh fruit cups in front of restaurant.

Our purchase was 2 orders of El Tipico, 1 loroco pupusa, 1 ayote pupusa, half of a roasted chicken (for the drive home) and a 16oz fresh pink guava juice as well as a sweet fruity cashew drink called Maranon. We also snagged a watermelon cup on our way out.

The restaurant wasn’t very busy so I hope more people will visit and keep them in business. Our entire purchase was less than $60 which is unheard of in Northern Virginia. Definitely worth the visit! 👍👍“

“Overall experience is excellent“

“I can confidently say Tacos El Costalilla has the BEST tacos in Woodbridge. Everything about this place is amazing. The service is always so friendly and the food comes out super fast, which I love.

They also have a self-serve topping bar, so you can load up your tacos exactly how you like them. I got the carne tacos and they were SO good, especially with a fresh piña juice on the side. You can really taste that all the drinks are made fresh.

My friend ordered the al pastor tacos and honestly… she said they were even better than the carne 😭 she also got the horchata and loved it.

I also tried a cheese pupusa and it was SO good. This is honestly the first place I’ve tried in the area that has both amazing tacos AND pupusas done right.

And to top it all off, I got a churro at the end (yes I was being big back 😂) and the lady made it fresh for me without me even having to ask. That alone made the experience even better.

I seriously love this place and will keep coming back. If you’re in Woodbridge and want real, flavorful tacos, you NEED to try it.“

“I love this place and always order yuca Frita with chicharrónes to start great good and customer service is always great thank you.“

“Awesome authentic Mexican food truck! One of my favorite go to places in Woodbridge! My wife and kids request at least once a week. Some times multiple times in a week. Its a must do if you're in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. Check them out!“

“awesome“
