We've walked by this restaurant for a year because it's very small and often crowded! Lucked into a table for 4 and their margaritas were the best I've had in Northern VA! The food was also amazing! We'll be back! read more

Service was great here! Super friendly and accommodating. The salsa with the chips had a smoky flavor but the CHIPS . The mushroom adobo tacos and al pastor was delicious! Not too salty or sweet or smoky. The tacos aren't stuffed because it's very traditional Mexican street tacos, and they come with a selection of 3 salsas. The quesabirria was the highlight for me and my husband!!! Highly highly recommend coming here during happy hour!! Would come here again!! read more

With the DMV experiencing some seriously hot weather lately, when your friends suggest margaritas for happy hour, the only acceptable answer is yes! We decided to check out Taqueria Xochi after hearing about their new soft-serve margaritas. Unfortunately, we learned that they're currently only available at the Navy Yard location. While that was a bit disappointing, it definitely didn't stop us from having a great time. The space is on the smaller side as others have mentioned but it's still a fantastic neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere. What really made our visit memorable was Liliana. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made our experience 10 times better. Not only was she super sweet, but she was also crafting margaritas to perfection all evening. During "Xochi Hour" we tried several margaritas, including the Classic, Hibiscus, and Strawberry Morita. Every single one was delicious, well-balanced and expertly made. For food, we ordered the chips and salsa, along with the Tinga and Al Pastor tacos (two tacos per order). Everything paired perfectly with the drinks and hit the spot for happy hour. If you're in Arlington and looking for a great happy hour destination, Taqueria Xochi is absolutely worth a visit. And when you stop by, be sure to ask for Liliana she'll take great care of you! read more

I've stopped by Taqueria Xochi a few times for drinks, but this was my first time actually sitting down for food and I'm so glad I finally did! I went during lunch with a few coworkers and we were all very impressed. I kicked things off with the hibiscus margarita , which was refreshing, floral, and perfectly balanced. For food, I ordered the crispy birria tacos with consommé, and wow... flavor on flavor. The tortillas are corn-based, which is a huge win for me since I have a gluten allergy . One coworker ordered the same, while another went with the chicken tinga tacos with added avocado - everyone loved their plates. I also really like that you order and pay via QR code at the table, which makes splitting checks super easy when you're with coworkers. The only thing that feels a little odd is being prompted to tip when you don't really have traditional table service, staff simply drop off food and drinks (though the brief interactions we had were friendly and pleasant). The menu has a great variety, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and while the restaurant itself is on the smaller side, it works well for a relaxed lunch. I can definitely see this place getting packed during happy hour. The restaurant vibes are chill so no need to dress up or make a reservation. Just walk in and seat yourself then scan the QR code to place your order. All in all, a great spot for tasty tacos, fun cocktails, and a quick but satisfying lunch break. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Taqueria Xochi - Beef Birria Tacos and hibiscus margarita - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

It's a very small spot. Not big for large groups. They have great happy hour deals starting at 4pm that include drinks and food. The service was fairly quick about food I came on lunch and I was able to get my food within 15 mins. I personally didn't enjoy the food as much as I was hoping especially for the prices. I ordered: The beef birria with the dipping soup on the side - 5/10. It was lacking flavor, the soup was super oily, the birria was super oily. I've had better honestly. They did a good job of loading up the taco and making it cheesy and meaty. I just wish the beef actually had flavor to it. I wouldn't be able to recommend this for the price. I also ordered the chips and salsa lack luster as well. Chips didn't have much salt and salsa was bland. The Mexican hot chocolate was my favorite. Really good and perfect for a cold day!!! read more

Visiting Arlington for a conference and stumbled upon this great place. There isn't a ton of room, maybe 6 tables and then seats at the bar, but the food is so good. My co workers got the spicy margs, and beef and lamb birria tacos and I got the beef Birria nachos. Best meal of the trip and price was not bad! The service was friendly and fast as well. read more

This was a very good dinner! I sat at the bar as there is kind of limited seating at actual tables and I didn't want to occupy an entire table for just me when there were several couples and groups there. I had the Xochi nachos which were very good! Lots of cheese with them and a delicious crema. Plus a nice amount of pickled jalapeños and onions. I also got the Quesabirra tacos, which is basically birria tacos with the addition of cheese, at the suggestion of the bartender. Good call, barkeep!!! The tacos came with a little side dish of three salsas, 2 red and a green. Usually I'm more of a fan of green salsa but one of the reds had a very nice smoky flavor to it which put it at the top of my list. The tacos also came with practically a bowl of consommé for then birria tacos, honestly at the conclusion of the meal I wanted to use a spoon and eat it up like soup but alas....... I did not. Definitely would return here and I just say it'd be hard to get me to order something else off the menu even though it all looked good what I had was damn tasty. read more

I was craving some birria tacos, and decided to order delivery from Taqueria Xochi. The tacos tasted excellent - they were super flavorful and cheesy and came with some nice sauces. The consomme was amazing. Everything was a little cold since it took a while to deliver, but I would definitely go to the restaurant to try everything fresh. read more

Taqueria Xochi is overall very solid and a spot I genuinely love. The food is consistently good, though at times it can feel a bit overpriced for what you get. That said, it's still a great happy hour destination and an easy place to keep coming back to. read more

Wow! Other than it's a small place with not a lot of seating - I can't believe how good the birria flavor it is. The staff was very patient and good. Jamaica Margarita at $10 in happy hour Soooo tasty. I plan to be back!!! read more

Taqueria Xochi - Beef Birria Nachos- GOOD FLAVOR! - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This place is a shame and a scam. Tacos were the worst I've ever had in my life. Mushrooms had no flavor and were not cooked. It was like they sliced some mushrooms and put them on a plate. The place wasn't crowded. The ambience would've been nice except one of the workers was listening to a loud and obnoxious podcast and didn't have headsets on. I sat at the bar and it was mediocre. What really adds insult to injury is the 18% gratuity automatically added to your bill. Had I known that, I would never have come here. There is no mention of it on the menu. It doesn't say it anywhere in the store . Shame on you. I will be contacting your headquarters for this bait and switch. EVERYONE who reads this avoid. HH menu is a joke and so is the food. read more

Taqueria Xochi - Receipt with added gratuity - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The restaurant is relatively small and its first come first serve for seating. You order off the QR which makes it really convenient for eating with co-workers because the bill is already split. The food was good not great but the portions were large for the price. It's a good option for a fast casual dinner. read more

Me and my wife grabbed some food and drinks here this past weekend. The menu is very easy and simple, basically Mexican food. Our servers were kind and considerate, and the food and drinks were pretty good. I've eaten a lot of Mexican food in the DMV and it's always expensive so know what you're getting into. Next time I'd stop by I'd want to try a torta or birria tacos/fries. read more

Came and tried the birria tacos and also got an agua Fresca horchata. The tacos were decent but nothing spectacular, the flavor was strong but the meat was a bit tough. The horchata was very chalky however and not the best texture. The margarita was okay, not super strong. For the price, don't think these are the best value for what you're getting Service was fast though and the place had a good ambience. read more

Amazing! Was at the soft opening and tried a little bit of everything. The spicy guac and esquites were to die for. Also all of the fry options - be still my heart!! Also, I don't care for beef, but the beef birria is legit and sooooo good. And the Paloma's Everything is amazing and if Amazon hadn't mugged me off I would be there all the time. Last note: there will be breakfast tacos and happy hour! Buckle up!! read more

Service at the bar was great during a weekend happy hour. Tacos were excellent and authentic, as was the salsa. Margaritas were also good, try the smoky flavor. read more

Great food, tasty. Nice staff. Pricey but good results. Eaten here three times and been satisfied.

Very decent small taco place. I got the tacos al pastor and they were good, as well as the Mexican hot chocolate. I don't drink but the cocktails looked good too. They have a small amount of indoor seating or you can order to go. I do wish you could mix and match their tacos, and the meat was a little tough, but all in all, pretty good. I also heard the shroom tacos are excellent. read more

Amazing service and food!!! Bar is nice to sit at and wait for to go orders, staff is friendly and accommodating!!

Real Mexican food, real ingredients, real solid experience. The food is unreal with great taste. The service at the bar was wonderful thanks to Brenda. The hibiscus margarita was also excellent. I have nothing but great things to say about this spot! read more

This place is in our weekly rotation -- food is delicious every time, the staff is wonderful, and they have a killer happy hour during the week. 10/10 read more

Food was really good. Unfortunately that's where all of the positives of this place end. My friends and I went here for dinner and, unfortunately, there was no room inside for us to eat. The female server working told us we could order at the kiosk and eat outside. So we did that. As we were sitting outside, but before our food was ready, a table inside cleared. So we moved to inside with our table marker. The same waitress that told us we could sit outside side then, very condescendingly, lectured us about switching tables. And then when our food came out it was in togo packing despite us marking dine in when we placed our orders. This is when the server decided to inform us that because we had ordered on the kiosk and were going to sit outside they automatically put it in togo boxes. She also almost did not give my friend her food because she did not print her receipt. As we were leaving we saw a party sitting OUTSIDE with regular plates NOT togo boxes. The female server with a bun working 2-20 at about 7pm, completely ruined our experience and was overall very rude and unprofessional. Despite the food tasting good, this is a restaurant that I will never frequent again due to the horrid service. read more

This is my first time visiting Arlington my girlfriend recommended to have lunch here. This review is pacificily first Daniel the bar tender ge is absolutely amazing and very professional. Since I told him this is my first time here, he told me about the menu and cocktails. The food is amazing the atmosphere hands down great and gets not forget about the cocktails. Im from California so the cocktails is a more (tequila) lol read more

Avoid! The meat tasted terrible. The staff needs to be replaced, our waitress let the food get cold on purpose. She let a frozen drink sit out until it turned to room temperature and then served it. read more

First off I wanna say the ambient and esthetic of this place is really nice. Me and my family are from California and just moved here and we have been disappointed with the Mexican food here. This place has given us hope. We got Lengua and Birria tacos and they were very good and the best we have tried here by far. We ordered margaritas and it was on point. The male bartender was really nice and the service was good. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some good tacos. read more

The best food and strawberry margaritas I've ever had! It was an amazing experience! Highly recommend!!

Service was friendly. Had the chicken cemita. A lot of cheese but not too much chicken. I will try it again and get the tacos.
