La Cocina Tex-Mex — Restaurant in Washington

Went to have dinner with my wife and her sister-in-law since we are visiting from Southern VA and left deeply disappointed. The service wasn't great but above all the food was subpar. I am Mexican and am always looking to support local Mexican owned businesses when I can especially since Mexican food always hits home for me. Unfortunately this place did not deliver. My family and I were the only Latino people there that didn't work there and the staff made it obvious that they catered more to their Caucasian patrons. My food was cold when I was finally able to eat it, as my food came out before we even received silverware. We sat there staring at our plates and it wasn't until we asked for silverware that the waiter realized that we had none. I ordered a drink that never came, luckily I hadn't paid for it yet.

If you're in the Brookland neighborhood and want some quick grab and go tacos, then this spot is worth trying. Feels more authentic than what you'll get at some of the other nearby fast food restaurants, which I really did appreciate. Service is fast and friendly. You'll get tortilla chips and salsa to start.

They just need to invest in this area of their business a bit more by surveying the community or these reviews to determine what this neighborhood and their potential customers will...

Small intimate and I thought it was Taco City which doesn't show up on Google maps. We stopped into Yes! And wanted something to eat. Tacos 🌮 are s delicious after lunch special. Asked the server for suggestions that my wife followed and I got the vegan taco 3 wasn't enough and was going to order a turkey sandwich without the bacon but they were out of bread so I asked that they put the turkey on my tacos. Delicious. So a loss star. A homeless woman came in asking for a glass of water and they obliged her. Star added back. We offered to buy her what we were eating because she said her legs were hurting her but she approached our table. She refused our offer because she wanted McDonalds. There are no McDonalds anywhere close to the restaurant. So we withdrew our offer. Ice tea was small and not very sweet. We...
