    Inside
    Arielle J.

    A quick stop but a lasting impression on my belly. The inside is a vibe and very trendy. It a very cute place to stop by if you are in the area. The Al Pastor taco was the star of the show! The meat was tender and flavorful - and the green sauce took it to the moon! So good. I probably ate that taco in one bite. The Chicken Tinga taco was a little underwhelming to me, but not bad. I wouldn't order it again. The customer service was amazing. Even though I was ordering to go, they still brought me a glass of water. Just so friendly and inviting.

    Fajitas (chicken, shrimp and steak)

    Posting this additional comment after the owner responded. I think it's interesting that he chose to comment on something completely different from the complaint I had about my visit. The fact that he remembered my visit is key. So why not address your poor customer service mentioned in my review? A business that chooses to do that definitely doesn't deserve my dollars! Stop deflecting and do better.

    Burrito platter to go
    Don B.

    Ordered something to have delivered to the hotel. Had the burrito platter with rice and beans. Burrito was decent but nothing spectacular. Rice and beans tasted pretty good and was the star of the meal.

    Strawberry margarita (liked it better than the mango)

    Greeted as soon as we walked inside. Spacious and clean. We ordered drinks and chips with all sorts of dips. We totally enjoyed ourselves and will be back when more hungry.

    Loco fries, dip trio, wings

    I visited La Posada in Arlington for happy hour with a friend after coming across it on TikTok . We're both originally from Maryland but spent a few years away before relocating back to the DC/VA area so it was the perfect spot to catch up. The restaurant itself is surprisingly large, but it can be a little tricky to find since it's tucked inside a hotel. Once inside though, the bar area is spacious with plenty of high-top tables and bar seating - great for groups or a casual meetup. The happy hour menu has tons of drink and food options (and daily specials!), which already put it ahead of many places in the area. My friend ordered a margarita and I went with a tequila ginger. For food, we shared the Loco Fries, Dip Trio, Wings (mango habanero + honey chipotle), and the complimentary chips and salsa. Everything was really tasty, though the fries could've used a bit more meat and cheese. I wish I took more pictures, but we were too busy reconnecting and diving straight into the food as it came out! The service was wonderful from start to finish. I arrived first and was greeted and seated in the bar area right away. They offered me a drink while I waited and answered any questions I had. Throughout the evening, both the bartender and manager checked in on us consistently to make sure we were good, friendly without being overbearing. The prices were legit happy hour prices unlike a lot of restaurants that claim to have happy hour but barely discount anything. Overall, it was a great experience and I really hope the food, service, and pricing stay the same or get even better. I'll definitely be back!

    Epic Margarita

    Such a great experience! The food was delicious--full of flavor and clearly made with care. The drinks were amazing and a perfect complement to the meal. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. On top of that, the ambiance was warm and inviting, which made the whole dining experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

    Whisper W.

    This place was fantastic! I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and pleasurable to speak with. She made me a Fantastic cocktail called Cielito Rojo. I ordered the Short Rib dinner based on her recommendation. It was juicy, tender, and the flavors melded well together. They were decorated for Halloween and they have great lighting for a restaurant. It didn't feel too harsh. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in the area.

    Mexican green tea shot! So good~
    Alexis G.

    What a great spot in Crystal City! My husband and I came here thinking it might be like any other Mexican place, but nope. Nothing frozen, everything tastes like it's made with love. The staff is super friendly and keep the chips and salsa coming. The place is spotless and has a nice polished vibe. We even saw a stack of bachelorette hats, so they're clearly ready for a party crowd. This was our second visit and we came for a late lunch. Fajitas came out sizzling and the duck guajillo was out of this world. Perfect place for family, a date, or just hanging out to catch a game on the TVs. The music is on point too. It is a little pricier--$11.95 for a house margarita--but worth it. Pacifico on tap was a fun surprise and they hooked us up with complimentary Mexican green tea shots. We'll definitely be back!

    Guava Agua Fresca
    Pinky J.

    A Solid Taco Tuesday Spot With Great Service & Deals. HH SHRIMP TACOS Any Taco Is $3, You Can Choose Any Protein For The Same Price. I Went With Shrimp Tacos & Added Sliced Avocado For A Small Upcharge. TACOS Came Topped With Onions And Cilantro & Served With Two Sides Of Hot Sauce. Flavorful & Straightforward. Personally, Next Time I'd Ask For Flour Tortillas Since I'm Not A Big Fan Of Corn Tortillas But Still A Solid Deal For The Price. FREE NACHOS & HOUSEMADE SALSAS A Nice Bonus! The Nachos & Housemade Salsas Were Delicious & A Great Way To Start The Meal. GUAVA AQUA FRESCA So Good.... Refreshing, Flavorful, & Only Under $4, Which Is A Win. Great Service All Around! The Manager & Bartender/Server Were Helpful, Attentive, & Consistent About Checking In To Make Sure I Was Good. This Was Also Very Clean & Pretty Decor Atmosphere. Good Deals, Friendly Service, & A Relaxed Happy Hour Vibe. Definitely Worth Stopping By For Taco Tuesday.

    Pollo del Campo

    La Posada was really good. The spicy margaritas were fire and easily one of the best parts of the meal. They had a real kick to them but still tasted fresh and balanced. We also got the fresh guacamole with the tortilla chips and sauces, and that was a great start. Everything tasted fresh and the sauces were actually good, not just there for no reason. For my meal, I had the chicken dish with rice and corn, and that was probably my favorite part. The chicken was flavorful and tender, the sauce on it was really good, and the rice and corn on the side made the whole plate come together. Everything tasted fresh and came out hot. Overall, really good food, good drinks, and a spot I would go back to.

    Stuffed Poblano Pepper
    Adam A.

    Nice upscale Mexican food. Chips and salsa come out with two types of salsa, which is nice. I had the stuffed poblano which was ok. Kind of soupy. I wouldn't get that again but would go back for sure.

    Rice & Beans
    Margeaux D.

    This was on our to visit list for when we were in the area. It's just a block or so from our hotel so extremely walkable. When you walk in, the place is super cute, full of color and I positively adore the lighting. We went later in the evening so it was quieter but still busy. We were immediately taken to a table and served right away. Upon receiving water, you are greeted with a bowl of chips and two different salsas- one a regular salsa and the other a black bean salsa. We ordered drinks- a pina colada (2) for me, and a Corona (2) for him. I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper while he ordered enchiladas. Both came with rice and refried beans. My poblano pepper (menu says: fire roasted poblano pepper filled with Oaxaca cheese, house sauce and choice of beef or chicken) had a bit of a kick but was full of cheese and chicken. (You could do beef, chicken or just cheese). It was so delicious and cheesy, and the chicken was shredded and mixed in. His enchiladas (menu says: two warm rolled tortillas filled with your choice of protein, served with rice, beans, sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo) were beautifully sauced and he devoured them (so I didn't get a chance to taste but obviously he was pretty happy with them). He did order the three enchilada combo, and requested carnitas, chicken and steak. My pina coladas were super fun (there were the small 12oz or the large which was 24oz), I got the small both times. Super refreshing. Definitely was a happy meal and happy mood.

    Margaritas
    Kay

    A new Mexican place 10 minutes from the Crystal city metro stop. Service was great and they have a really cute vibe going on, with fresh flowers on every table. I got the chicken tacos and they were pretty good for chicken with double corn tortillas, the tomatillo salsa really made it. Their guacamole was also fantastic and you got a pretty big bowl of it, we kept ordering more! The margaritas were generous, whether you got the slushy or over ice versions. Fun place to grab a casual lunch or dinner, and just hang out.

    The best Old Fashioned ever!

We went on a Friday and were able to walk in and get seats easily, which was a nice surprise. Parking can be a bit tricky in the area though, so you may have to park a little farther away and walk.

Came back on Cinco de Mayo since we had such a good experience the other night. We didn't get any chips / salsa (server forgot). They ran out of guacamole, the burrito we ordered had no green salsa ( we asked for it and we paid extra). My fajitas were a little over done, I asked for medium rare. Server didn't bring silverware, we had to ask. Granted it was Cinco de Mayo, but running out of guacamole?? I originally gave a 5 star but had to change it.

I liked their menu and wanted to give it a try. I got there shortly after they opened up and it was pretty empty. I got a seat right by the door, and had a view of the street and watched as the restaurant began to fill up. Lots of college kids came in as the evening went on and it seemed like a popular restaurant. I thought my server was very good. He checked in regularly and had a lot of tables he was responsible for. For my meal, I started with Queso Fundido and that was probably my favorite. The cheese was really hot and very delicious. It also came with three types of salsa on the side (a salsa verde, a chili salsa, and a third one I'm not sure what it was). I did like the chili one. The flour tortillas were very hot and fresh. I enjoyed it. For my entree, I had the Achiote Hanger Steak Fajitas. This was my least favorite part of the meal. I had asked the waiter if they were good and he told me he always recommends it. I didn't mind the sides that came with it. The rice and beans were pretty good and I liked the guacamole. What I didn't like was the actual steak. It was very tough and hard to bite into. What was weird is it was completely red in the middle so I believe it was medium to medium rare, but the steak wasn't tender at all. It also wasn't very seasoned and the peppers and onions under it just seemed to be sitting in oil. I did ask for salt and pepper, but even with it, I didn't like it. I ended up not finishing the meal. Finally, I had ordered the corn cheesecake as a dessert. I now realize they sent out churros instead, but I guess I wasn't paying attention until after the fact.The churros were OK. I would have preferred more chocolate sauce on mine. I wish I would have spoken up because I was actually looking forward to trying the cheesecake. For me the food was ok, and not spectacular. I'd be willing to try out something else and come back to at least try their cheesecake, but if I never returned that'd be fine with me too.

    I recently moved from Kent Island, MD to Arlington and I've slowly been checking out local food…read morespots to fill the a void I have with some places I miss back home. One such place was a Mexican place as my old fav Mexican place on Kent Island (Señors Chile) had great but extremely greasy birria tacos. So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this food truck that read "Tacos Los Primos". The spot made me curious. So I went to visit a friend who lives in walking distance from the spot for lunch recently. She ordered the veggie burrito and I ordered (pic below) Quesabirria tacos (no onion). When we got back I was WOW'd by not only how yummy my food was but how it wasn't oozing with grease! The consume that comes with for dipping is just enough for me personally and bursting with flavor. As you'd expect from most food trucks the service is made to order. When you go up to the counter and tell them what you want they make it fresh! The truck is parked on Rhoside Green Park (sandwiched between Courthouse and Rosslyn) so if you live in either neighborhood it's easy to access from walking distance. And since it's near an Arlington green space there's usually some seating nearby you can pop a squat and eat lunch. Given spring time is approaching this seems more doable. Just yesterday I was driving by to visit the same friend and saw a long line for this place! Most people in Arlington know how great this spot is, it is a terribly kept secret! Can't comment much on how long the line was busted as I went during a time when it was windy (but warm) and it was mid day. When I drove by it was pushing dinner time past 7pm. I love the food here! But since I live closer to the storefront location in Lyon Park I usually end up ordering food from there (review on that location is coming soon)! If you like authentic Mexican food that's fresh and delicious, you'll enjoy this spot!
