Service was quick and friendly, and she seemed to have perfect timing to check in on me. I ordered the queso dip, it was pretty standard for queso. Good enough. For my meal i had the chicken quesadilla. This was very likely the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had. It was hefty and stuffed to the brim with chicken. The chicken was seasoned amazingly and cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend stopping in for a meal.

Excellent food and service! The fajitas were cooked perfectly and seasoned well but not too salty. Highly recommend eating there to enjoy the music and small restaurant feel. The young lady was super polite and pleasant

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

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! 🔥🔥🔥

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 🩷.

Mary’s Bar and Grill is an authentic Tex-Mex gem located in the heart of Petworth. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of neighborhood charm. Their margaritas are next-level, and the chips with cheese dip? Freaking to die for. Customer service is always outstanding, and their spacious patio is perfect for soaking up the scene with friends. Happy hour hits hard—Monday through Wednesday from 4–7 PM, and Thursday to Friday from 9 AM till midnight (yes, really!). Whether you’re dining in or planning a party, Mary’s also offers catering to bring their incredible flavors straight to your event. Tex-Mex cravings = solved.

Not to be dramatic - but this is the best food I’ve had in DC in a very long time. I got the shrimp enchiladas and it was DEVINE! The service was fast and friendly. Food was hot and there was cheese under the beans and rice- this was a fun surprise I honestly needed in my life at that moment lol. So glad to have stumbled on this gem and I can’t wait to come back!

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.

I come here pretty often as it's a 5 minute walk from where I live. I absolutely love the frozen margaritas, Peach flavor is my favorite. The 7$ side salmon is a great portion and always juicy, never dry. I recently tried their beans and post wisdom teeth removal they were perfect. The atmosphere is always lively, even if it's just me and one or two tables here at the time. Very good, highly recommend checking this place out.

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!

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.

Excellent service & reasonably priced! I started with a peach and mango margarita that was flavorful! Then, I ordered a shrimp burrito bowl. The shrimp were so delicious and big. However, there could have been slightly more shrimp. Lastly, the ice cream was a great compliment to the flan.

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.
