50 Best 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!“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“great, plentiful food. caring staff“

“Solid, easy, and unique dinner spot to catch up with your friends. Ambiance was great. Decor was great. Vibe was great. Food was great. Drinks were unique, but I wasn’t crazy about any of the ones I had to be honest taste-wise! The steak was amazing. Ceviche was tasty.

We had 5 people and spent 88$ each - we had 1-2 drinks each and apps, sides, and main dishes, which we all shared. Everyone we met there was super friendly, staff involved. You can take great pictures here lol.

Wish we had stayed for the DJ. Music/club area started playing music around 10:30-11pm, but no one out on the dance floor yet and we just decided to call it a night! Parking was easy at 7:30pm, and free on the street. 1 min walk into it. Street parking gets more packed as the night goes on, of course. When I was going back to my car at 11pm it was packed.“

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

“I got a burrito, the rice had a rich lemon cilantro taste, the beans were good. The carne asada had a great taste. The tacos salsa was good that you need to eat with the tortilla chips… I highly recommend it. The prices are not bad respectfully for the food quality.“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“This place has really good food! I’m really picky with Mexican/latin food, but this place had really good food. However, their service is what kept me coming back. We sat at the bar and we had really great service. Carlos, Elizabeth, and Angie
were really great. They were really nice!!! I recommend this place and when you do come ask for them! You won’t be disappointed !“

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

“Flavors are good. The after taste of the tortilla was not pleasant, but the other items were great.“

“I was so lucky to be able to try this truck a few times when the first started a couple of years ago and loved it then. I brought some international colleagues to this truck, making big promises, and Tacos Mi Rancho is still my favorite truck after all these years. With the 3 year gap of having it, it was still the best taco truck in my opinion. Food came out fast even though they had a long line of customers and the quesobirria was perfect as always. I also think they price very reasonably! My international colleagues were blown away by their food.“

“The place to go if you want to have authentic Mexican food.The place small with few tables and some tables outside and the parking is really tight unless you go on weekends round 7 when the adjoining shops are closed.This being a authentic place you will not get the free chips and salsa but the food is delicious.I had the chicken tacos which are topped by pineapple slices and you get 2 tortias in 1 place,the meat was so flavorful and my daughter had the birra and it was amazing.i would highly recommend this place for the food.“

“District Taco was nice, clean, and in a good location. The food was good, but overall I found it somewhat expensive for what you get. The menu felt pretty basic, and I was surprised that the burritos didn’t come with rice and beans, or nachos on the side.

You also have to ask for salsa and sour cream since there isn’t a salsa bar, which I would have preferred. There were also quite a few people standing around waiting for To-Go orders, which made the atmosphere feel a little crowded and was somewhat annoying.

Overall, I’d say it was an average-to-good experience, but definitely not a GREAT one. I gave it 4 stars for the effort and the overall cleanliness and location, but there’s room for improvement in the food value and service experience.“

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

“Christan gave amazing customer service from coming into the doors made it an amazing atmosphere to be in as well as the other staff, there were very nice and helpful whenever you would ask for something they will help you real quick. Would come to this location again.“

“We had such a great lunch. Was so good…. All the family loved it“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“The best taco spot around.“

“The staff is always so accommodating of our family with two small children and a giant wagon stroller. We absolutely come here for the generous inKind promotions, too! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

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

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

“My (admittedly large) party came in early and got seated ahead of time thanks to the hostess and server, who were both excellent. Margaritas were good albeit rims were a little oversalted but some may enjoy that. Food was excellent but $20 for 3 tacos seems a bit excessive even in downtown DC.“

“Great tacos. The pork shoulder and pork belly were excellent!“

“We forgot to take pictures before people dug in, but this should show you that the food was so delicious people couldn’t wait. Everything was wonderful, and delivery service was even a little early. The least favorite things of everyone was the corn tortillas, so maybe just stick with their flour ——But truly everything was delicious.“

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

“It was our first time there we had a great time , service was great the food the bomb we will come back again .“

“Blown away. Food was incredible, all the staff I spoke with were helpful and friendly, and my one complaint is that I waited until my last night to try this place… I would’ve eaten here every single night of my visit. I got the chicken tacos (cooked well, salsa and seasoning was flavorful and it wasn’t a skimpy portion), the mushroom tacos (phenomenal. 100/10. Seriously the best vegetarian tacos I’ve had in a hot minute, speaking as a Portlander), and the churros (also great). Didn’t take a picture cuz I ate it too fast. It’s Taco Tuesday ($5/two taco plate) but I ate so much I didn’t stay under $40 😂 that said, please plan a hefty tip for this awesome staff to make the difference between the price of this spot and a Cap Hill snobby spot… I promise it’s worth it.“

“Great job with the quesadilla regarding my dietary restrictions.“

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

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

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“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.“
