Mexican Restaurants in Virginia

Our guide to Mexican restaurants in Virginia

Mexican food is one of the most widely loved cuisines in the US, and it ranges from the taqueria with a handful of tables and a salsa bar to sit-down restaurants focused on a single region such as Oaxaca, Jalisco, Puebla or the Yucatán. Tex-Mex – with its combination plates, yellow cheese, fajitas and chili con carne – is its own distinct tradition born in Texas.

The core of most menus is corn and flour tortillas used in many forms: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas and tamales. Salsas and moles are where kitchens show their personality, so it is worth trying the house salsas even if you order something simple.
