Mexican Restaurants near Rosslyn

“The grilled chicken burrito with white rice, black beans, lettuce, and salsa is delicious!“

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

“Amazingly flavorful food, we were absolutely floored. The grilled chayote squash (chayote asado) has incredibly delicate and complex flavors. The cochinita pibil taco was great, savory and juicy like you would expect, with good flavor. The guac was bursting with flavor. Made in a molcajete, of course, at the guac station in the middle of the dining area. Speaking of which, the decor is playful and hip. The place was quite crowded (understandably so since it was a weekend). We had to wait for a few minutes for our table despite having a reservation. Highly recommend checking out this place, but go on a weeknight if you can help it.“

“La comida aquí es muy rica y el servicio de Diana es excelente, muy amable y muy atenta! Sin duda volveremos pronto! Lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Dined in for mother’s days and my mother loved the place, location atmosphere etc our experience was almost perfect. We spoke to the owner and he let us know his favorite appetizers and entrees and we took each recommendation. Even tho this is a Mexican restaurant i tried their Lomo Saltado and it was great the entree was full of steak, they didn’t try to fill my plate with loads of vegetables like most places do. ? percent will return“

“Cool restaurant with fresh, creative Mexican food. Wide variety of vegetarian and meat options. Friendly service. I couldn’t find anywhere to park and parked a ten minute walk away. Maybe there’s somewhere closer that I don’t know about. The new salad was super good and the pasole was good too.“

“Beautiful restaurant! Great introduction to Vera by our wonderful waiter Kevin. We learned about the similarities between Lebanese and Mexican cultures and how that would be shown in the dishes and drinks that we ordered. Kevin walked us through the menu and gave us suggestions to give us the best possible experience. Standout items for me were the branzino (perfectly cooked!) and the batata harra.“

“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.“

“Very authentic food. I had the fish taco. First time eating them and being their. Very nice.“

“My server, Aleidy, was open, pleasant and made great suggestions! We got the family style course was everything!!! I've been to many Mexican restaurants and this location exceeded my expectations. Every plate that came out was EXCELLENT!!!“

“great services! good drinks!“

“We were on vacation and happened down this way looking for a late meal (it was about 8pm). Most shops were closed but Guapo's was open and bustling so we gave it a shot. Their free appetizer chips were incredible, especially if you get a fresh warm batch, and the pico and salsa (not sure of ingredients but warm brown dip). Wife got a chimichanga which she loves and I got a combo of cheese and chicken enchiladas which were fabulous! We came back at the end of our trip and had margaritas which were best I've had (not too sweet or "alcohol-y) in a while. That led to a 2nd dinner which I ordered the Cinco De Mayo platter expecting a couple fajitas. I read the menu wrong because what arrived to the table took most of the available space: a plate with three BBQ pork ribs, strips of grilled chicken, strips of tender steak, chorizo, fajita onions/peppers, and two of their shrimps as well as a second plate with baked beans and yellow rice and a third plate with scoops of pico, guacamole, and sour cream and a basket with three free warm tortillas. Every single thing on this plate was out of this world delicious!!! Pricing was very reasonable too, staff were very friendly but soft spoken and the atmosphere inside was pretty noisy (although patio/outdoor seating is nice if the weather is to your liking). They had desert too but I didn't get any because I was too full both visits. We ended up eating at a nearby restaurant on a different day and the value comparison was night and day. Guapo's is your best value on this street in Shirlington regardless if you're looking at taste, price, or customer friendliness (hours, staff, atmosphere)Parking: We walked or took public transit so I don't have first hand experience but appeared to be street parking with some free and some paid spots depending if you were on the strip or a side street. You're going to have a hard time regardless. There's a grocery store at the end of the road which did have a parking lot which you might be able to utilize but I recommend bus or walking.Kid-friendliness: Inside it's a bit loud but the walls have decorations like six shooters and mariachi paintings which would have amused or started a conversation with my kids. They had customers with birthdays and the staff do a unique performance and provide a sombrero which again would have amused and delighted my children to see. I think as long as your kiddos like Mexican food and can handle a bit of loudness then its a good balance between kid friendly and adult friendly atmosphere.“

“Coming from Los Angeles, one of the best cities for Mexican food in the US, I have high standards for Mexican food, especially street tacos. When I learned they had a location in Bethesda, I ran as fast as I could to visit. I fell in love when a coworker let me try a spoon of esquites. What differentiates them is their Mayo. They do their own twist by making it spicy and delicious with some godly seasoning. I loved it so much I tried making it at home, but wasn't able to exactly replicate it (please tell me your recipe haha). I am on the hunt to find something like this in LA! Service at Tacombi is always superb. Super fast service here. I went on Easter Sunday, and was attended to by a lovely person. He was super accommodating to a picky family member I brought. Appreciate the great vibes, food, and amazing tacos. Love ya Tacombi.“

“Friendly and attentive service. The atmosphere is lively and comfortable, lots of tables and outdoor space. It is located away from any loud roads which is a plus. Fun and expansive cocktail menu- I started with the Wolf Spritzer and then had a Beer-Garita. Solid guac. I ordered the duck tacos and plantains, both pictured. Highly recommend both. This is a fun addition to Union Market.“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“The absolute best tacos ever!!! This was my first time trying them and I will never go anywhere else. I didn’t realize it was cash only, so I had to run home & come back but they were super understanding & So kind! 10/10 recommend!!! So happy to have finally tried this food truck. It will be my new regular spot!!“

“Clean, quick service, normal wait time for food. Real sliced beef on the nachos. See attached pic for details.“

“The food was fantastic, service was also fantastic. Would recommend this great place to anyone! Thank you, and you will be seeing me again!“

“Had a wonderful experience for Mother’s Day!! Our waiter was Jhony and he was excellent. It was just me and Mom and we asked for the two person seafood paella. He suggested the special for today which was the lobster paella and it was amazing. The service was great, the food was amazing!! The food did take a while to come out but that is to be expected on Mother’s Day!! I will definitely be coming here again!!“

“Ok it's worth the hype. If you're a fan of Mexican and Greek cuisine... this is your spot. Food came out hot and flavorful.*greek quesadillas- I chose shrimp as my protein. It was flavorful, yummy! It's a large portion. A must share.*mexican bowl-ground beef for protein. Mmm so flavorful! You pick your salsa.Service was helpful and friendly. We will definitely return. We would love to try more things on their menu.“

“Los tacos super ricos RECOMENDADOS“

“Great service and great food.I had the Birria and it was so tender. I don't like onions and they were very accommodating. Even making the guacamole. We've been here twice.I also included a picture of their margarita flight which was really cool and definitely more than enough for 2 people.Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate me not liking onions“

“Their food truck right next to my building & after my first try, I have a hard time to stop myself not getting their veggie tacos, burrito & cheese quesadilla. Cook & server are so nice & they are always quick to provide my order. There is always a line in front of their truck, either short or long line. They deserve it!“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“Good food good service happy environment“

“Oh my Lord! I had forgotten how good Mexican can be when done right. This was the best restaurant surprise that my husband and I have had in a looong time. They were closing and agreed to serve us anyway. Who does that any more? These guys. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to Mexico. The family that runs it treats you as though you are part of the family. And what was even greater was how delicious and fresh the food was. Tacos were just incredible - Al pastor, asada, pollo and chorizo. We can't wait to bring our little boys here. Thank you, Agave, for saving us from the Mexican food desert that used to be NOVA.“

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

“SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful in answering our questions and providing recommendations from the menu based on our preferences. Very professional and she was always around when we needed anything.FOOD: If you like chicken nachos you should try these. They put the right amount of cheese, chicken, jalapenos, guac, every ingredient pairs perfectly. I had the chicken enchilada and my husband the chicken tacos. The plates are smaller in size than expected but still delicious and filling..ATMOSPHERE: The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting and comfortable. The indoor dining area is to the left when you walk in, the bar in the middle and outdoor seating. Very nice.Overall we will visit this establishment again!“

“Papusas are a definite choice and parrillada Rosita is a good selection of meats.“

“So goo that we came twice in two days while we were on vacation. Highly recommend.“

“Rented the private room for a work cocktail reception and was impressed by the food, service, and drinks. We had around 15 people, but the room can certainly accommodate more than that.We arranged for cocktail tables for a standing reception, and they have great food and drink combinations for your party. We had our own private bartender, a taco station, and passed hors d'oeuvres.The guests loved the food and drinks. Everyone on the staff was very kind and friendly.If your party stays in the space longer than reserved, they will begin charging per head. So worth knowing you have a little buffer time to get everyone out before that happens. A manager was kind enough to give me a heads up and around 20 minutes for everyone to exit the space.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and the hibiscus margaritas. The service was great too!“

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

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“Great spot for happy hour or Taco Tuesday, especially before a movie at Alamo next door. Lots of seats, love the indoor/outdoor space. You order via a paper checklist (much like some sushi places) but have a designated server to take care of your table, and I have always had quick service here! Personal favorite tacos are the shrimp and fried fish, but most of them are a good size.“

“Had the Pleasure of Djing there“

“Good portion! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. I had the steak bowl (grilled peppers, grilled corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese) and a large side of chips and guacamole. Chips were salted and the guacamole was fresh with a hint of citrus. After the bowl, I couldn't finish the chips but it wasn't for lack of trying! lol. 100x better than Chipotle and they give adult portions. Only issue - it arrived ice cold! like it was in the fridge. Quick reheat and it was all good.“

“My favorite place to eat in all of DC and they have carna Asada fries, those that know, know it’s a treasure in San Diego that’s why I like this place so much“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“We love Mexican food. The menu was Mexican food with a slight current twist, everyone in our party had something slightly different and enjoyed the item they chose. The cocktails were good, and the service was quick. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive“

“Great brunch options and cocktails!“

“We came here for our monthly family dinner night. We wanted to try a new spot. Ambiance - Cute. Really liked the seafood art in the walls. And the smell when you first walked in was incredible. We knew we were going to eat well. Food/Drinks - Hubby and I really enjoyed our drinks. I got La dama. He got the mango mojito. And my daughter also liked her strawberry lemonade. My favorite thing was the corn salad, but it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good! Service - 10/10. Everyone was so attentive and they made sure I got good footage for my blog. They kept our glasses full as well. Overall, try this place out! The flavors and customer service are truly amazing. They're going to need a bigger location soon!“
