Los Chamacos Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Stopped by Los Chamacos on Saturday for some very needed Mexican food! It’s not your average Mexican restaurant menu which was different. My friend and I sat at the bar and had a great time. The food was fresh and and the service was a 10/10. The plantains were cooked to perfection!
Great restaurant. And great prices. I order a side of chorizo and a side tamale on top of two entrees and was happily surprised at the price when I got the check. The chips and salsa were just ok. But the half chicken meal was very tasty and had large portions. The green salsa was amazing. Very friendly staff, good atmosphere.
Stopped by tonight for the first time at Los Chamacos and I had the best experience ever. I had the Surf and Turf fajitas, which were delicious made by Chef Benny. My server and bartender Valeria was very pleasing and attentive with me. I definitely recommend this place to those that love authentic Mexican food and friendly service. Will absolutely be back with my friends! I moved from Texas in 2017 and I'm so glad I finally found real delicious Mexicana food.
My friend and I visit Los chamacos back in October for the first time and I'm glad we went. Very small hidden gem in Arlington, VA. From the drinks to the food, everything was great! My guy Carlos greeted us with open arms. Our bartender was great! I'm coming back to see you Carlos.
Wonderful restaurant, mole was incredible I highly recommend.
We’ve only ever ordered for delivery but the food is absolutely delicious each time. We’ve tried multiple dishes and they all are full of flavor and great portions. Definitely recommend to give a try!
Seriously so good! We LOVE trying new places while traveling and this one did not disappoint! The staff was fantastic, especially Salvadore, and the food was too! We had Chicken enchiladas and fajitas and it was all soooo good! Very authentic mexican food. The mango margarita hit the spot and we will definitely come back next time we visit DC.
I had gone to this restaurant 2 other times based on the ratings and reviews. I hadn't gone inside because from the outside, it didn't look like a place for kids (we saw the bar and it looked small). Third time searching on Google maps, I saw the reviews, pictures, and ratings, and it looked really good. Then we saw the location and said nevermind, but we kept finding this place and decided we should give it a try. It's not as small as we thought, there are 2 doors and we had thought it was 2 different restaurants. It's a family-friendly place. It looks nice inside, the staff is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. I have had Gorditas at Maryland, but I didn't know where they sell good Gorditas around here. Now I have found the one place to go when I want Gorditas. The Gorditas are small, I thought they would be the size of a tortilla, it has been years since I had one. My family really likes the food here. My husband said the margarita was good. I'm posting a few pictures, not much because by the time I thought about pictures, my food was gone. If you're looking for Mexican food, this is a great place.
