Los Caballeros

We're on vacation, and I have seen the great reviews, and we love Mexican food. The portions were very generous, in my opinion. The food was good, and the service was as well. The only negative I experienced was I ran out of tortillas for my fajitas and had to walk up to the area where the waiter was to get more. Other than that, I would go back again.

The best Tex-Mex food I've ever had. I had cheese enchiladas and sweet fried plantains, and goodness, the portion sizes were something else. No way you'll be hungry after eating here! The prices are quite low, too - great value for money, especially for the area. And of course, insanely tasty after we'd been walking for miles around the city. I loved the decor - a fun blend of Southern US and Mexican. The music was catchy but not loud. It's a fun, laid-back, very informal place, great for bringing friends or the kids. Our waitress was very patient and accommodating of our requests (e.g. providing us more lime wedges when we stupidly dropped ours on the floor). The lighting was just a tad dim, though, which made the menus a smidge hard on the eyes. Our water glasses did end up empty, but I think that's kind of par for the course for this price range. This is where you go for filling hearty food smothered in cheese, not to have every whim fulfilled instantly. Overall, I'd highly recommend it if you're really hungry and want value for money.

After a long and tiring day, I found myself craving some Mexican food, and by chance, I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. It truly felt like luck was on our side. The moment we stepped inside, we were charmed by the cozy, inviting atmosphere. The decor was authentically vibrant, setting the perfect backdrop for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. Our server was an absolute delight—sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Right from the start, we were greeted with a basket of fresh, hot tortilla chips and a bowl of homemade salsa that had just the right amount of kick. The drinks were kept topped off throughout our meal, making us feel well taken care of. We ordered the veggie burrito and the grilled chicken tacos, and each bite was a testament to the quality and authenticity of the food. The refried beans and rice, in particular, were hands down the best I’ve ever had—rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. In short, we loved every moment of our visit. If you’re in the mood for some truly delicious Mexican cuisine, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic atmosphere, and excellent service! Almost outmatched by the food - some of the best fajitas I’ve ever had. The margaritas are a can’t miss, the frozen and the Cadillac were both excellent, and their house tequila was the smoothest I’ve tasted. Chris and the rest of the fam took excellent care of us, 10/10, would absolutely come back for more!

If you’re craving Tex-mex food and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, Los Caballeros is where you need to be. The moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, and every dish bursts with rich, homemade flavors that make it the top spot in the city. What really sets Los Caballeros apart is the incredible offers they have. I ordered a Fajita, and the second one came with a 25% discount—unreal! Deals like this, along with the vibrant and welcoming environment, make it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Run by a kind-hearted Mexican family, Los Caballeros delivers not just great food, but an experience you’ll never forget.

The food is always amazing. The service is always great and this is our favorite spot for food and margaritas. also would like to do a special mention for the seafood enchiladas

This is a great spot down the road from Eastern Market. Excellent food, with friendly staff. Stay away from the higher priced “Tex-Mex” joints in DC and come to this place, you’ll appreciate that you came here!

From the moment I stepped into Los Caballeros, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that instantly transported me to Mexico. The vibrant décor, complete with colorful murals and traditional artifacts, creates a delightful backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The menu offers a fantastic array of authentic Mexican dishes, each bursting with flavor. I started with the guacamole, which was freshly made and perfectly seasoned, paired with crispy tortilla chips that were hard to resist. For the main course, I indulged in the enchiladas, which were generously filled with tender chicken and smothered in a rich, tangy sauce that had just the right kick. The highlight of my meal, however, was the handmade tortillas. You can truly taste the difference! To accompany the meal, I tried their signature margarita, which was refreshingly tangy and perfectly balanced – the ideal complement to the spicy flavors of my dish. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that our glasses were never empty. Overall, Los Caballeros is a gem that offers an authentic taste of Mexico, with delicious food, a vibrant atmosphere, and top-notch service. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu!

This food was incredibly tasty, and the customer service was outstanding. Their chips and salsa are simply the best--it's so flavorful that I could enjoy the salsa with anything! The whole experience felt like stepping into an authentic restaurant.e

I love this place. The service is always incredible and I often come alone or with friends. I've enjoyed everything I've had here, with my favorite being the chicken burrito. Margs are perfect. It's authentic and warm-- you'd think it had been here forever.

First trip to this place. We loved it! Friendly, attentive service and convenient Capitol Hill location. The chips and salsa were excellent, and the chicken flautas were even better! Prices were excellent for DC! We'll be back. Thanks, Cabelleros!

Dry chips, tasteless but still spicy salsa, bland throughout. Just a struggle to enjoy.

Met a friend here after seeing the establishment on social media. The videos online portrayed a lot of energy that we did not experience during our visit. Came on Taco Tuesday, hoping for some specials but there was only happy hour. Their happy hour is only drinks, no food. This was a bummer. When we went in, we were only people in the establishment. Somehow, the service was still slow. The food was pretty good and the margaritas were too.

Little hole in the wall with some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Shredded Chicken Enchiladas and grilled chicken quesadillas were both excellent. Lovely server and service.

I have eaten here many time and we hosted our office holiday party here. Everything from the service, food, and friendly staff was 11/10 excellent. I cannot recommend Los Caballeros enough. Looking forward to returning again soon! Thank you!

Great, affordable spot in the neighborhood. Staff is super friendly. Had the steak burrito and it's the best deal in town. If you have a hankering for Mexican food I highly recommend giving them a try.

most amazing wait staff, literally a can't miss this spot with the best food and beautiful vibes

Last night we went to Los Caballeros with a party of 5. The environment was very welcoming. The staff was very communicative when letting us know it'll be a few minutes before seating. They were urgent to clean up the table before us. The food was tasteful, my wife got steak carbon and loved it. We all got different drinks and they were well mixed. We will definitely revisit when in the area.

This was one of my favorite Mexican places! It tasted like home and it made me happy. Most of the places I like, but I loved this place! It was also very affordable and the service was outstanding and it was real Mexican food.

Recently opened 11 December 2023 in the old La Lomita Dos location. Excellent Tex Mex food and drinks. Simple 2 page laminated food menu and the back page is drinks. Excellent food service and still has the coldest beer on the Hill; excellent margaritas. They have revamped the look and ambiance of the dining room and the downstairs is a lot brighter and cleaner. Both restrooms have had a significant makeover. Check out the photos on the wall of the 3 hombres (owners) and you will see Cris - the one with the beard. Highly recommend.

My friend and I came in for dinner tonight and it was great! We both got the Mariposa drink (rum, orange juice, pinapple juice, and strawberry) and chimichangas (steak for her and veggie for me). We loved our drinks and entrees. Service was great and the owner is very friendly and engaging. He check on us multiple times and gave us a few freebies to try, including tequila he infuses in the restaurant. It's great to have a Mexican spot on the Hill again - I'll definitely be back!

Such a great new addition to Capitol Hill! A lovely atmosphere with top notch margaritas and delicious food. Chile rellenos were DELICIOUS. The owner was so nice and ended our meal with the best tequila shot we've ever had. Will definitely be back!

The food was amazing! The Caballero's Parrillada...delicious! The steak, chicken, shrimp and ribs were so tender and well seasoned. They melted in your mouth. I don't know what they did to the rice and beans, but I'm a FAN!!!! The service and food amazing. DC's best kept secret. I will definitely frequent this spot.

First impressions: open two months, much-improved from prior establishment IMHO. My meal was pretty good, fast attentive service, decent neighborhood prices, well-lit attractive interior, smallish space is not noisy, friendly owner. Bonus points for excellent chips, frosty beer mugs. I'd go again.

-The worst tacos I've ever had. -The tres leches, was waaaaaay to sweet, how can a baker mess that up. The server didn't bother to ask why I only ate half a taco, of tacos, and left a cake barely touched. He knew the food taste horrible. Needless to say, I'll never die at this spot anymore .

I'm from Texas, so i was a little leery about the Tex-Mex, but the food was sooo gooooddd!! The Chicken Taquitos, Caballero's Parrillada, and the Salmon Cancun was amazing. Started with the chicken taquitos, and I can eat those all day everyday!!! This is a must-have!!

Horrible service. Just tried to eat here and was completely ignored by the waiter Oscar. He tells me to sit in the corner and completely ignores me. An older white couple comes in after me. He gets them menus, chips, and waters. He still hasn't come to my table once. I wouldn't recommend if you want good service.
