50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Fort Belvoir

“The food is good here. It's on the same order as Chipotle.(Go down the line and add what you want) However, it feels more at home style...where you can customize. Plus I believe they have more variety of offerings. They have shrimp and steak too. I usually get chicken....Burritos Bowls Tacos Quesadillas and more.“

“great, plentiful food. caring staff“

“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.“

“Great food and amazing service!“

“Delivery through Uber. Excellent fresh and tasty food. Well packaged. Great presentation. Best Mexican we've had in a long time.“

“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!“

“El Paso is a great spot if you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Alexandria. I ordered the surf and turf tacos, and they were absolutely fantastic—loaded with perfectly seasoned steak and shrimp, plenty of flavor, and served on crispy tortillas. I’d order them again without hesitation.

The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh, the rice and beans were solid, and the service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a fun, colorful atmosphere that’s comfortable whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner.

If you’re visiting for the first time, I highly recommend the surf and turf tacos. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I have been going here for a few years now! Food is very authentic. You want a delicious wonderful drink as to be seated in Diana section! Her drinks are A1! Or you cam choose to sit at the bar(I've done it a time or two! Her drink making skills have note wavered, She makes the best Red Passion Margaret's (trust you want be disappointed)
I always get the same ting since im a creature of habit for my main dish which is the pick 3. At 17.99 you can't beat it. Mines comes with 1 of each quesadilla burrito and Toscana. Uout choice of meats, with a side of beans and rice
Now if you're feeling adventurous do what we did. Have Diana make you a Stret Taco player of her choice! Do t forgot to try theire Homemade guacamole, and the Queso with Chorizo(awesome choice if you a cheese and spicy pork lover like myself)“

“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!“

“Best tacos that I've had in this area not to mention that they offer excellent customer service.“

“Amazing smiles and service! Best tacos in town! Great prices too!“

“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!“

“Fantastic food! Wow! Calamari was so fresh, lightly crispy and the sauce with it was amazing. I’m really impressed.“

“We had the perfect trio! Steak nachos for an appetizer, enchiladas verdez and malcajete for the win! Margaritas of all varieties are on point!“

“Great brunch options and cocktails!“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“Dear Reader, I am his majesty of Macaronia, the largest and strongest kingdom in the universe. My kingdom is even stronger than the aliens on mar. This food thou must indulge upon. I especially loved the mac and strawberries. These strawberries havn't I never tried them before in my entire living life time. Highly suggest or I will not behind the most heinous person in my kingdom!!“

“The best cabeza tacos in arlington!“

“The best Latino food in town !!!“

“Muy buena comida muy bien a tendida“

“Muy deliciosa! Don't be intimidated by the facade. The blacked out windows belie the bright, festive decor inside. We got a mix of street tacos that contained twice the meat compared to street tacos in comparable restaurants in the area. The hostess/waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant and bathrooms were spotless. We will definitely be back!“

“Love their breakfast burritos. I only have experience with carry out but it was great. Food was delicious and family wanted more, so I placed a second order and they had the food ready in a few minutes. Looking forward to coming back again!“

“this is easily the best and most authentic Mexican food I've ever had in Alexandria. Everything is fresh and interesting and delicious. Go eat there now! 😀“

“Very great experience! The customer service was beyond amazing and so was the ribs. Great for bringing your family to. I would recommend this place to anyone.“

If you’re coming here, ASK FOR JOCELYN“

“Best Margaritas!! Great place to hang out and converse with folks at the bar. By far the most inviting atmosphere I’ve seen in a while in the area.“

“Everyone here is so nice and polite, Make you feel so confortable.“

“Excelente servicio . Más cuando nos sirve Bruno y Santiago . Se los recomiendo“

“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.“

“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.“

“Beyond delicious!!! Will go back again before we leave Washington D.C. I recommend this to everyone.“

“Always our go to for yummy margaritas and delicious Mexican food. Super casual and a fun atmosphere. Hey just saying during the shut downs we got Rita’s and yummy take out. A happy saving us from not being able to go in public spaces.“

“al pastor is fantastic, definitely recommend“

“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.“

“We jokingly say Tippys has the best mediocre tacos, but legit we eat here multiple times a month and absolutely love it!

My husband is from the area and the owners literally watched him and his friends grow up, and every time we come in he asks us about our family and how we’re doing - it’s just so wonderful! Very rare to have such connections these days and that’s part of the charm!

The kitchen is immaculate too! I was a restaurant manager and have seen some things but you can clearly see that they are well above standards!

You truly cannot beat the service, the price is spot on, and it’s just a neighborhood staple. In a world of curbside and delivery, Tippys is just this nice place where you can see a friend and eat good food.

We love Tippys Tacos!“

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