Best Mexican in the area?

[Anonymous]

I grew up in Arizona and lived in California for a time. I just have not found the kind of Mexican food that is available there. Does anyone have any suggestions? NVa preferred but willing to drive.

2nd this. As someone who lived in California. Thai and Mexican are just not as good on the East Coast.

While its true that you won't find it as good or cheap as you have in AZ or CA... Taco Bamba is pretty darn tasty!

Every week there is a thread ranting how Mexican food and pizza suck in the DC area.

Former Texan agrees with this list. There's nothing else.

Arizonan here.
The retried beans, fresh tortillas and salsa at uncle Julio’s are good.
I’m still looking for most things.
There is a food shack in downtown bethesda that does okay burritos. I think it mostly caters to construction workers. I’m not sure it has a name.
Oyamel is nice for fancy food.

Guajillo in Rosslyn is quite good.
