Kash'ka Fain: Go to Lauriol Plaza and have some combo of swirl margaritas, mojito's, and sangria. Combo fajitas are cheap and delicious, and EVERYTHING on the daily specials menu is GREAT!
Ryan Eagle: One of my favorite restaurants in DC!! Get the swirl margaritas and the del mar chicken fajitas can't be beat.
Behrad Eats: Lamb Fajitas is the best option on the Specials menu, if they're out of that definitely go for the Mar y Tierra, bacon-wrapped filet mignon and shrimp!

Kyle Barber: It's all about the Texas wings and steak fajitas. Hands down the best fajitas of my life.
Rob Bouknight: Perfect go to spot for a casual and quality tex-Mex meal or simply to grab a pitcher of frozen margaritas. Amazing fajitas, frozen margaritas, and you really can't go wrong with any menu item.
Rob Bouknight: Great Tex-Mex food and an ideal location for large parties. Fun, Lively themed ambience with excellent frozen margaritas, fajitas to die for, as well as a strong menu overall. Watch out for waits!

Adam Sean: Fajitas are excellent. Guacamole is uncommonly good. Recommend the Habenero Margarita (with salt foam). And of course, the tacos are perfection.
Washington Post: This no-frills taqueria went from a quiet Latino hangout to a destination for local chefs and urban food scouts quickly. The menu is so small (and good) that some diners just order the whole thing. Read more.
Prerna Lal: Best Mexican in DC. Try the enchiladas con mole and the al pastor tacos!

Allen: Go to Los Cuates, a little undiscovered gem of a Tex-Mex-style restaurant. Order mixed fajitas. Ask for a side of their clarified butter-garlic sauce and some extra tortillas. Thank me later.
Shane R: The wait staff is amazingly attentive and quick. The guacamole is fabulous, as is the salsa. We had fajitas & were impressed with the freshness, quality and price. One of the best Mexican restaurants.
Behrad Eats: When you can't decide what to get, order everything! Enter Parillada Los Cuates: grilled steak, chicken, baby back ribs, and shrimp!
