We definitely enjoy to be here this place great for family reunion as always choosing tacos overall.

I love this place! My fiancé and I sat in the dining room, and eating there truly felt like eating in somebody's living room, straight from their kitchen. The kitchen was open, and we could see the chef diligently preparing each of our meals. It was cozy, welcoming, and cute. We had the cashew queso, enchiladas, birria quesadillas and tres leches. EVERY dish exceeded our expectations. My fiancé is mexican and grew up eating her grandma's cooking... she said that with each bite, she was reminded of her favorite childhood meals. And the drinks were out of this world! Their spicy Margarita and frozen drink, El Mariachi were so so refreshing and tasty. We could see the passion in everything and everyone. All in all, we left extremely satisfied and excited to go back. Props to the chef and staff! read more

I've only had their beer birria and chicken tinga on two occasions. Both times have been outstanding. Really tasty with really good texture on great corn tortillas. Only done takeout, but very pleased with their product. A little pricey, but it's the price of doing business these days. Used to be when you couldn't get decent Mexican food in DC. I would put this up against anything that we have here in Los Angeles. read more

I definitely recommend this place, I was there yesterday with my family first time, great service, place very clean! Love the food it's extremely amazing different flavors from what we are used to taste, great presentation of the food, drinks are in another level, thank you so much guys for everything, tip make sure you have a reservation specifically if you want to seat outside! Jorge you and your team are the best! Definitely coming back with my friends! read more

AMAZING! We got delivery -- carnitas tacos, hongos & napales tacos, and guacamole. Everything was absolutely incredible. Definitely ordering again soon! read more

Came here for restaurant week yesterday (tuesday) after hearing about it through the grapevine. For one, the main restaurant week item we intended on ordering (chicken al pastor) was 'unavailable'. They wanted to supplement that with Chicken Tinga.. a lesser quality chicken that is shredded chicken stew. not quite the same. We requested to split with half chicken tinga and half steak (quesadilla steak meat). They said the best they could do was Barbacoa beef (shredded beef stew) + Chicken Tinga.. Initially, the grand total rang out to more than what the restaurant week offer was.. we had to catch it on the phone before proceeding and make them correct it... Which we were told we couldnt order over the phone and that they would fix it when we came in.. when we came in to pickup the food, they didnt even remember that we wanted (50% barbacoa + 50% tinga, accomodating their lack of restaurant week item chicken al pastor), they assumed we wanted 100% tinga. So after correcting the order, I had to wait outside while they prepped the entire (substituted) order in winter weather, since they werent allowing anyone inside (which i understand). for a place sold out of a restaurant week item, not having the advertised Chicken Al Pastor was off to a bad start. I then attempted to sub out the 2x Salsa pair ($4.75 per menu price) at the door for the Queso ($5.75) menu price. I mentioned i didnt mind adding $1 to it. They refused to accomodate. fine. The bag didnt include a single napkin, or set of silverware. Considering we were making tacos with this, the sour cream provided was the tiniest of ramekins. it could barely accomodate 3 tacos. I wouldve been okay with all of this if the MEAT portions were more substantial... after all, thats what the primary entree - but some of the tiniest containers in the entire bag were in-fact, the meat.. not to mention their tortillas could fit in your palm (which is understandable). Overall, I was super disappointed in the portions of meat. this is the main driver for my average/negative review. I didnt hate the taste of the food, but Ive had better at that price, even for a restaurant priced week.. I understand all restaurants are trying to adjust during the pandemic, but I was pretty displeased that I chose this restaurant to explore restaurant week. From the service to the portions. One would imagine restaurant week is your chance to get your name/brand out, however this brought nothing positive from my perspective. im disappointed this was their result, and am disappointed i chose Muchas Gracias for restaurant week. I hope I am wrong, and this was a one off. I am simply sharing my experience. read more

Delicious authentic menu choices and great service. Much as Gracias does not disappoint!

This spot was recently mentioned on Eater.com's recent ranking of the 25 best new places to try in DC and my friend and I decided to give it a go - was completely worth it! They have limited seating in the restaurant, but we opted to sit in their patio area and it was super cute, our server was incredibly kind and helpful too. Hand sanitizer was on each table, they took our temperature upon arrival, and there was a space heater available. The food was incredibly delicious - we started with the queso fundido as an appetizer, and then ordered the chicken milanesa, steak fajitas, and then the carnitas tacos to split. Full disclosure - it was a lot of food, and we probably just split two of those items we ended up having lots of leftovers to take home. Though their location isn't as close to the heart of the city, I'd recommend to anyone who wants to pay a visit to upper NW (there was also a parking lot available with free parking, which I loved). read more

Muchas Gracias - Pictured here are the Steak Fajitas (come with rice, beans, and tortillas) and Chicken Milanesa - Tacos Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had dinner here with three friends and we sat out back. We were lucky to have a beautiful evening weather-wise. We shared a pitcher of margaritas, not the spicy. They were delish. At some point we ordered a second pitcher. Two of us enjoyed fish tacos. They were really good, though I don't like fried food and would have preferred a non-fried fish version. Another friend ordered Quesabirria and enjoyed it. Lastly, one friend is vegetarian and they made her custom vegetarian enchiladas! The rice was really good and the tres leches was too good! Our waiter was very pleasant and accommodating. Vamos a Muchos Gracias! read more

Really great Brussels sprouts tacos. This place has a faithful community following and I would love to try it post COVID. Great ambiance

This place is excellent. We ate in their outdoor back patio and everything was totally contactless -- I ordered on my phone and scanned a QR code with my table number. I got the chicken tinga verde taco platter. It was severed DIY style: taco fillings in a bowl, tortillas on the side, and I made the tacos myself. I was surprised by the presentation but the food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

Had a fantastic mid-afternoon meal here. We had a few tacos. But the star of the meal was the salsa negra (made of black garlic and red chiles) that accompanied the fried plantains. They have outdoor seating, but I preferred the indoor seating. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

One word - amazing. Went here for my birthday. Highly recommend the taco platter, chorizo queso fundido and quesadilla. Frozen margaritas are also great. We received complimentary tres leches cake and semi-sweet dark chocolate cookies. Try the salsa trio - you can buy the pumpkin seed salsa with brown sugar to take home. Amazing. read more

Really wanted to like this place but food made me sick, lacked flavor and a little rocky for the portion sizes

Really nice takeaway option for lunch during the past year, and I'm looking forward to dining in at some point in the near future. Friends have raved about the taco platters, and I was really happy with my Christmas tamales order. Staff was friendly. read more

incredible menu, but try the lunch special. I got a chicken burrito that was delicious, and the hot sauce is excellent too. The special comes with a large and beautiful salad. Highly recommended. read more

Muchas Gracias is an AMAZING dining experience. The interior is very well decorated and the setting is sweet and intimate. The service was phenomenal!! Everyone was so kind and attentive. Our waiter gave us a few suggestions, of which we tried two, and they were AMAZING! So delicious. Certainly this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Yum!! read more

Delicious, but it will cost you! Absolutely loved the meal, sat at the bar and service was prompt enough, efficient. There were loads of extra charges that seemed to nearly double the bill. Turns out there were extra items added which we had removed several days later when we were able to speak w a manager. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Excellent drinks, good food, and wonderful staff. Check it out!

Absolutely outstanding every time. The enchiladas, ceviche, and flautas as especially delicious. Perfect corn tortillas. The cocktails are excellent. Consistent, friendly service. 10/10 recommend. read more

two for dinner on a saturday evening in late june. this was my second visit (oddly, i forgot to yelp the previous visit). we decided not to have appetizers. the spicy margarita is a homerun! we ordered the whole branzino a la talla (grilled, skin on) and the chicken pastor which was a special. the branzino comes with 4 small white corn tortillas, pickled red onions and radishes, avocado, plus black beans and rice. i could eat this every day! the chicken pastor was half of a very large bird (so good value there) with a tangy, thin tomato-y sauce (it made me think of a mexican version of hot-and-sour sauce), plus pineapple on the side -- the pineapple was cut into small pieces then cooked but it was served cold (not bad, but i think pineapple should have been warm). red beans and rice accompanied the chicken. a very, very good dish; and a great value since you walk away with a lot of leftovers. their mexican rice is perfect. the dining room is small and skinny. both times i sat at the table next to and looking into the kitchen -- which is fine by me. 4 women run the kitchen. quietly. the outside patio was packed and very busy when we left through the front to go to politics & prose, next door. on my previous visit we had the chips service for appetizer which included the cashew "queso" which is outstanding -- get it with whatever you're having. read more

My mother and I had the best time grabbing dinner at Muchas Gracias over the weekend--we're still raving about it! We started off with chips and guac and two cocktails (spicy margarita and paloma!). I had the mushroom and nopales tacos and, as a long time vegetarian, I found the filling juicy and flavorful. My mom got the steak tacos and loved her dish. We finished off with a slice of their rich, milky, and delicious tres leches cake. Our original dinner plans were canceled and I'm so grateful we chose to come to Muchas Gracias instead. The staff, Kori and Luis, are incredibly welcoming and a pleasure to talk to. Next time my friends ask for dinner recommendations, I'll definitely be telling them to make their way to Forest Hills for tacos at Muchas Gracias. Call ahead to make a reservation as they limited space in the back! read more

The food was delicious as were the spicy margaritas. The issue I had was that not only are the prices a bit high ($14 for a margarita) but there is an automatic 22% tip added to every bill with their explanation being they want to "ensure a living wage" for their staff - regardless of quality of service. I have yet to see this kind of policy at other restaurants so will likely stick with those that don't seem to be squeezing the customer. read more

The atmosphere and service was fine but the food was beyond poor. On top of the ridiculously expensive prices the tacos were just unbelievably bland. The grasshopper was unpleasant to eat, the chorizo could be compared to a flavorless sludge. The birria was alright but one would expect more for the price. Overall would not recommend this restaurant to anyone with an ounce of taste. read more

My wife and I just had our first child and friends of ours came to visit from NYC to see the baby. We decided to go here since they have covered outdoor seating. Walked past tables upfront with umbrellas open and place settings on the tables. Stepped in with 4 adults and baby in a car seat and asked if we could sit outside. The host in front said they were only seating for indoors. When we tried to explain that we had a newborn and the pediatrician recommended not taking her in crowded buildings, the host walked away and seemed not to hear us. Luckily, Comet Pizza 2 doors down was able to accommodate us and we had a lovely time there. As we were leaving Comet, we did notice people sitting outdoors at Muchas Gracias tables in the rear of the restaurant. Disappointing. read more

We ordered tacos, enchiladas, and guacamole on DoorDash. The tacos came without tortillas. The guacamole tasted like it was made from avocados that might have been a little past their prime. The enchiladas were fine but not great. The presentation was nice, but I think they need to work out some kinks. read more

There is nothing in yelp, the Muchas Gracias website, or Resy reservation service that proof of vaccination is required for in door service at your establishment. To demand proof of vaccination when I arrive for my reservation is unacceptable. you need to upload this "proof of vaccination" requirement to your website, Yelp, and any reservation service you use to avoid inconveniencing your potential patrons. Thank you. read more

Wow, what a delightful surprise. I wasnt sure what to expect coming in but this will be a regular spot for me for sure! Was able to try most of the menu and let me say that you cannot go wrong with almost anything you choose (and omg the yellow mole salsa, mole salsa, and charred pumpkin seed salsa go with almost any dish). Highlight dishes for me were the chicken tinga tacos, Apple cider carnitas, Chile renello tamal, bistec, charred sweet potatoes. Cant forget the margita was one of the best things there as well as the tres leches. Top to bottom - what a great experience 5 stars!! read more

the food was delicious!! tasted like my abuela cooked it- very warm and homey the service was so nice as well. cute & cozy spot read more

Muchas Gracias is amazing. The food is phenomenal, the drinks are incredible, the vibe is fun, and the owner, Christian, is cool. Check it out! You will not be sorry. read more

So so delicious and flavorful. Most definitely will be going back! We got the short rib tacos which were amazing and the jackfruit tacos which were very flavorful. Delicious elote and the sweet potato appetizer. So many items to choose from and we loved all of the salsas and sauces that came with. read more

Good tasty, authentic mexican food! Their menu is reduced. We ordered the carnitas and the braised ribs taco platters and they were delicious. The potatoes with moles were good, but i would not order them again. read more

This place is phenomenal. I discovered them at the beginning of the pandemic when they first opened their doors and didn't even have a sign. I took a chance because I liked the concept and wanted to help a local start up restaurant. I have been there both in person and for carryout nearly a dozen times and they never disappoint I highly recommend trying their drinks- treally phenomenal and they have incredible Anejo and Mezcal as well. please ignore the bad review below by someone just trying to get followers and checkout the glowing reviews in the WAPO instead! read more

As someone born and raised in San Diego, I've been missing "real" Mexican food. This place is authentic as can be in DC. My sister and I even agreed it's on the level as our local place back home. I've checked out the guac (delicious), bean burrito (authentic!), tamales (need I say more?) and rice (yum!) I'm so happy to place popped up near my house. Their hot sauce is also actually hot sauce too! (Not bottle sauce you find at other places) read more

Terrible customer service. I ordered take-out to be delivered by Door Dash. The restaurant gave the delivery woman the wrong order. Muchas Gracias is refunding the food order still charging me the delivery fee! read more
