Patron Margarita!

The Drinks Are Reasonably Priced & The Atmosphere Is Different. The Staff Is Very Welcoming & Attentive!

Darron I.

I went for the carnitas tacos and they were delicious. The pork was tender and well-seasoned with a little crisp on the edges. Each taco came with lime wedges and house made salsa that added a lot of flavor. They don't skimp on portions either, which I appreciated. Service was fast and the staff was helpful. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed, casual feel. Great spot if you're craving tacos.

These tacos reminded me of the ones I had during a trip to Mexico. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor. I got the carnitas, and the pork was fall apart tender with crispy edges. They also had a really good vegetarian taco option with grilled cactus that surprised me in the best way. Seating is limited, but the vibe is casual and relaxed. The woman taking orders was super helpful and made a great recommendation. Prices were fair, and I left feeling full and satisfied. Easily a place I'd recommend to taco lovers.

Tried their tacos for the first time and they were seriously tasty. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the tortillas were warm and soft. I loved the fresh toppings, especially the onions and cilantro that gave everything a nice crunch and brightness. The salsa had a little heat but wasn't overwhelming. Everything came out fast and the staff was really friendly. The place has a chill vibe, perfect for a quick lunch. I'll definitely be back to try more.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and tried the carne asada tacos. The meat was juicy and full of flavor. Tortillas were soft and fresh, clearly made that day. Topped with onions and cilantro, just how I like it. The salsa they served on the side had a great kick. Service was fast and the guy at the counter was friendly. This spot is definitely on my list for a return visit.

Pizza Birria

The birria tacos are my go to! I have had the birria pizza but I prefer the tacos. The churro is good as well! The inside is fun like a neighborhood hang out spot with dim lights. The customer service was good.

These tacos were such a pleasant surprise. The meat was juicy and flavorful, with a smoky char that tasted straight off the grill. I got the chicken and the carnitas, and both were packed with seasoning. The tortillas were warm and soft, just slightly toasted on the edges. They also gave a good amount of fresh lime and cilantro on the side, which added a great kick. Service was quick even though the place was pretty full. It's not fancy, but it's the kind of spot you keep going back to.

Modelo micheleda
Joy F.

I love this place. What brought me back here is the tacos. SO juicy, packed with filling, and delicious. The star of the show tonight though is this micheleda! It's PERFECT. In every way. A fantastic balance of savory, salty, and spice. The shrimp just added extra bang! I'm in love.

First of all !!! The food was fresh and made with loveee , had the brirria tacos and then great quality margaRita's which is hard to find with such a great price .. Brenda was wonderful and friendly with great communication and service . I will be back !!

It is sad when I get restaurants in one star food is delicious. This is a Mexican restaurant in Oxon Hill, which I wanted to try because I heard they have a good fried fish . When I went into the restaurant, it look like a bar/club atmosphere, probably this please trade it into a nightclub later on in the evening. I ordered my food and sat down at the table and waited for over 45 minutes wondering where my food was, I looked around, and the waitresses were dancing, and my food was ready on the kitchen counter ready to be brought to my table. The food was excellent, but the service is something that you clearly need to work on. He.

From the very first bite, they reminded me of the special treats my abuela would surprise me with after school.

Highly recommended!

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unacceptable Service Experience - Rosa Mexicano (National Harbor)…read more I am writing to formally log a complaint regarding a deeply disappointing dining experience at your National Harbor location. Having worked in the food and beverage industry for 25 years, I understand the operational challenges of a busy restaurant. However, the severe breakdown in service my family experienced while celebrating my 7-year-old child's birthday was entirely unacceptable. During our visit, we encountered the following issues: Severe Beverage Delays: After placing our initial order, we waited over 30 minutes for a simple Coke and a Margarita. The delay was so extreme that I had to physically get up, walk to the bar, and request our drinks directly from the bartender. Ignored Food Service: We experienced similar unacceptable delays receiving our meal, requiring additional follow-ups just to get our food delivered to the table. Dismissive Management: When I requested to speak with the manager, he offered a brief apology but took no effective action to rectify the situation or oversee the remainder of our service. Extended Delay for the Check: Following our meal, we were forced to wait an additional 45 minutes just to receive our final bill. Guests visit Rosa Mexicano expecting excellent food and service to match its prime location. To leave a family--especially one with a young child celebrating a birthday--waiting for extended periods at every stage of the meal fails to meet basic hospitality standards. I trust you will take this feedback seriously, review the staffing and management performance for that shift, and take the necessary steps to ensure future guests do not experience this level of neglect. I request a prompt response detailing how this matter will be addressed. Sincerely, Salvador a former chef

We saw people give positive remarks about your food, and so as lovers of Mexican food and coming from the N.E. we were excited to try a new Mexican place! I'm not sure how you were given such good reviews because nothing was great about it. So disappointing on all fronts. The service was horrible - she didn't smile, she basically came up to the table and asked us what we wanted. Then when we said it was our first time and we needed some time to look, she walked off. No personality whatever throughout. The margharitas were so bland, full of juice and LUKE WARM - for 20.00 - that we ordered an extra shot - which she forgot until she stopped by 15 minutes AFTER our meal already came. The food was terrifically bland as heck. Nothing was seasoned well at all. We asked for the manager, and one said he was one of them. He was basically useless. He didn't apologize. He came back to our table and wanted to see if we wanted something else, this is after waiting forever for our first food. He didn't offer to take off anything, not that would allow - but it's called great customer service, which this place sorely also lacked. Then, clueless, asked if we wanted to wrap up our food that we did NOT like. The fajita was dry and hard - chx, steak, shrimp and over the top fried cod. No flavor in either rice or beans. Enchalada with chicken was so bland and boring. The sauce on top seemed like a tomato sauce from a can. Service/food/drinks were all bad. If that's the standard the people seemed to like around here, that's telling. Best part of the place, cold water. Amen to that.

I don't make it out to Alexandria too often, but since it was a halfway point between a friend and…read moreme, it worked out perfectly. My friend chose Don Taco because it's one of his favorite spots, and he kept raving about how great the tacos were. And because really, you can't go wrong with chips, salsa, and drinks for a quick happy hour. The salsa which is not pictured had a great smoky kick, the tacos were very flavorful, fresh and hot. The host and waitress were very sweet, kind and attentive. The atmosphere was pretty cool, nothing to complain about. A lot of space, we sat upstairs which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this place isn't handicap accessible so if you're unable to walk 2 flights of stairs this wouldn't be the a great option. Thank you Don Taco Staff

We had the entire upstairs area to ourselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and I loved the mini fans placed throughout the space--perfect if you're feeling a little too warm or have enjoyed a few drinks! As for the service, it was a bit hit-or-miss. The young lady who took our orders was pleasant, but it took quite a while for drinks to come out. There were also several missing items from people's orders, which caused some frustration since those items had been ordered well in advance. Now, onto the food--the real star of the experience! Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals and had great things to say. I ordered a salmon taco, which I actually saved and ate the next day for lunch, and it was still delicious. The queso, however, wasn't a favorite among our group. On the other hand, the chips and salsa were a hit. The mocktails were excellent, and everyone seemed to enjoy their cocktails as well. Despite a few service hiccups, the food, drinks, and atmosphere made for a great experience. I would definitely visit again.

The restaurant has a huge bar right in the middle, loud music playing, and even an outdoor patio and bar area. However, neither space seemed to have much energy or many people. The vibe just felt...flat. I will say the music did improve as the night went on. Initially, the playlist wasn't really my cup of tea, but once they started mixing in some 90s and 2000s R&B and Hip-Hop, things got a lot better. That's when my friends and I started dancing in our seats, singing along, and creating our own entertainment while other patrons stared at us like we had landed from another planet. Sorry y'all, some of us came to have a good time. Now, I will give credit where credit is due. The service was really good. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kept checking on us throughout the evening. The decor wasn't bad either. It leaned heavily into the Mexican Day of the Dead theme, which I actually liked. The restaurant had personality and the design was much more interesting than the atmosphere. Even the restrooms were nice, although they felt like they were located in another zip code. Be prepared for a little walk. Now let's discuss the food...or maybe let's not. We ordered chips, salsa, guacamole, and chicken nachos. The guacamole was the clear winner and the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. The salsa tasted off and wasn't for me at all. As for the nachos? Absolutely not. Nasty. I don't know what happened there, but they were a complete miss for me. The funny part is that Diablo's wasn't even our first choice. We had just come from a 90s party and were a little underdressed for where we originally wanted to go. That spot had a stricter dress code, so we settled for Diablo's instead. Would I return? Probably not. Even if I'm already at MGM, there are several other spots I'd choose first for better food, better energy, and a better overall experience. The service and decor were solid, but they couldn't save the food or the vibe. Ratings: Vibe: 2/5 Decor: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Music: 3/5 Food: 1/5 Total Score: 3.0/5

The area was flooded and it made walking around a little difficult but there were different roads connecting that allowed you to get to other locations. I appreciate menus being posted on the outside of businesses so that you can take a peek and see if there's something you want. However walking past patrons in their outdoor area, you're able to look at foods and drinks that they're already sipping and dining upon. That was the deciding factor for going in and dining. I went with one of my easy traditional dishes, flautas and my friend went with the nachos. Not being a big person on Mexican food, he was more than happy with the nachos and I so love that for him. He also ordered the coronanita I think it's what it was which is a frozen margarita with a Corona inside and said it was one of the best things he had ever tasted. As a foodie and a Yelper, one of my favorite things is to see the satisfaction, joy, and excitement from someone trying a dish for the very first time or venturing out for a different food experience at the very first time. My drink for the evening was a mascalita because you guys know I love Mezcal and it was very tasty.

We started with the standard chips and salsa, and the two salsas were unique and delicious. Added queso and gobbled up almost 3 baskets of chips between us - delicious. The mojitos were strong and the margs were pretty good. My vegetarian dinner companion found plenty of options and enjoyed her black bean burrito (get the white rice instead of Spanish rice). I had the seafood burrito, which was good but very rich and I could barely finish it (though that could have been the 3 baskets of chips). Our server let us stay out chatting well into the evening. I'd come back here with the girls any day!
