Absolutely thrilled to share my experience at Mary’s Tex Mex!
From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The friendly staff welcomed me with warm smiles, making me feel right at home. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular!
I indulged in a variety of dishes, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The tacos were perfectly seasoned, with fresh ingredients that made every mouthful a delight. The enchiladas were rich and cheesy, drizzled with a homemade sauce that had just the right kick.
What truly stood out was the authenticity of the dishes; you can tell that Mary pours her heart into every recipe. The presentation was beautiful, making the dining experience feel special.
I can confidently say that I’ve found my new weekly go-to spot. Mary’s Tex Mex has gained a loyal customer for life, and I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Tex-Mex, look no further!

Everything we got was very good. The pupusas were delicious, some of the best I’ve had in DC. Nachos were good, great portion sizes. The service and atmosphere was great as well, felt home-y. It is a small place but it got pretty busy as we were there.

I enjoyed the shrimp and chicken bowl over rice, topped with mixed lettuce and sautéed zucchini—it was absolutely delicious! To make it even better, I treated myself to a peach mango margarita on the rocks. Such a great meal!

So good! We were hungry near by and Tex Mex sounded good, we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We started with the ceviche which had delicious sauce. It was served with tortilla chips that were perfect. My son had the Bria taco platter, and I had the shrimp enchiladas, both were excellent. Everything was seasoned well. The rice and beans were also super good. Great service on top of it all! We will be back!

I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and also gotten takeout a couple of times. The food is almost always fantastic, and the service as well. It’s also just down the street from where I live. So I want them to do well and be successful. My complaint is that the menu never seems to reflect what you might get, or what it might actually cost. I get that as a small business you might occasionally make changes and it’s not cheap to update your printed menus…but the waitress could mention it when we order and surely you could update the online menus, right? This review is really just about tonight’s experience because it was not good. When I ask for no sour cream on my entree, please don’t heap it on like you didn’t see the note. Also, when we order something based on the menu description, that is what we are expecting to receive. Not something less or different without at least being told and given the opportunity to change my order. I will consider changing my star rating in the future if these issues are corrected because this place really does have an opportunity to be great. It’s just the little things holding them back.

The lady was super nice and helpful. She gave me a mosquito spray because we sat outside. The prices are decent and the food was great. We didnt wait long before getting it for how much we ate

Went here on the 18th of August, we barely approached our seats (we sat outside) when the server came with some complimentary water. After visiting DC I know it is hard to get water so +1 for that.
She also offered mosquito repellent since we were being swarmed, and I got to say it was a first time for me. After that we placed our order and got our food, pupusas were 4 dollars each which is a bit higher than what I’m used to in Houston (but that is fine considering different cost of living). We also got a large horchata which wasn’t indicated on the menu so who knows how much it was.
The pupusas had curtido on the side which we very much devoured. The horchata was good, albeit on the dustier side (did not bother me)
At the end we payed for our food and didn’t get to see my receipt which isn’t a great bother, however I would’ve loved to see how much the large horchata was due to my meal being upwards of 20 USD.
Overall, I do recommend.

I could have never believed that there’s such a gem in my neighborhood. The prices are great, you can have a quesadilla for $14 with chicken, mushrooms and broccoli (quite healthy too). Pupusas are also great, $4 each, that’s a steal! Very cheesy with pickled cabbage, very traditional. Portions are large! Like in real Mexico. Specialty tacos come with 2 huge tacos and rice. Great service and music!

Excellent food! The Peruvian style chicken and sauce made me go and look up the recipe. Friendly staff. Clean. Good music and drink choices. Highly recommend.

Hands down the BEST Mexican food I’ve ever had. My boyfriend and I went here for dinner while visiting D.C. The restaurant is small and cozy, with more outdoor seating than indoor. The night we went, we didn’t have to wait at all to be sat inside. I got the birria quesadilla and my boyfriend got the birria tacos. I’m from Georgia and have been to multiple local Mexican restaurants and tried lots of birria quesadillas. Mary’s bar and grill has the BEST, and I mean THE BEST, MOST DELICIOUS birria quesadilla I have EVER HAD!!! I highly recommend this place!!! The servers were so sweet. You can tell they really want you to enjoy your visit .
