Los Chamacos Mexican Restaurant 922 South Walter Reed Drive, Arlington, VA 22204

"Gringos love “Mexican” food and this place delivers Tex-Mex food but also has the feeling of a local place in Mexico but fully American. Good chips, non spicy salsa, and my steak with chorizo and cheese was so American I think I heard it singing a patriotic song. The jalapeño was a bit spicy. The coke is canned and not Mexican coke. There are vegetarian options. There are sports on TV and music playing. It’s a good place to go before a show around the corner. The staff are nice. Overall, a place I would hang out if this were on my corner. And they have parking! #mexicanfood #texmex #steak #chorizo So it’s not the best but I do think it’s too bad."

"All aspects of this place were great!! I was looking for great Mexican food in the area after living in Europe. Several places have let me down.. and then I came here and it’s some of the best I’ve ever had!"

"I had high expectations since this was a highly rated place. But to my taste, it is a pretty average place, some plates are good and others are well below average. Nothing here seemed tasty. Went with a family of 6 so we ordered a variety of plates and the best thing was probably the shrimp cocktail."

"Despite being incredibly busy, this restaurant accommodated our party without any problems. Although the service was slow, and there were a few mix-ups with our order or what was and wasn't available, the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend trying their gorditas and fajitas—they were particularly enjoyable. I also had a delightful rum and horchata drink. The green salsa added an extra layer of flavor to our dishes. However, I do hope that in the future, they reconsider their pricing for a side of sour cream and homemade corn tortillas, as they seemed a bit overpriced."
