★★★★★ 5.0 Food Connoisseur · Jan 2026

If you’re looking for a place with great prices, portions big enough to stuff a 6’ 4’’ man, and food that is delicious - Well Dressed Burrito is the place for you. I was shocked to get a large burrito for $12, and fresh, tasty shrimp ceviche also for $12. The side of rice and beans came with cheese and sour cream dolloped on top, and for $3.50, you can’t beat the price. The service was friendly and quick, making this place a definite go-to for Mexican food.

I visited the Well Dressed Burrito when I was in Washington DC for work, and found this amazing place located down a side alley. Everyone I have encountered there was friendly and polite with great recommendations. I ended up visiting several days in a row for their weekly specials and "DC Favorites" as it's listed, and I can say honestly, everything there was amazing and priced below what they should be charging. And if you have room after your mains, the Mexican bread pudding helps finish off your meal. All in all, as you can tell, I highly recommend The Well Dressed Burrito! Hope to visit again soon.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Saminda · Jun 2025

Solid but not superb spot. They do a typical assortment of tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, and tostadas but nothing too remarkable in terms of fillings. They recommended the grilled items so I tried a combo shrimp and steak bowl and the taste was fine but nothing worth coming back for unfortunately. The steak itself was of just so-so quality, not too tender. Service was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating. If you're dying for some decent Mexican and you're close by, this is a safe bet, but nothing worth going out of the way for honestly.

I ordered take out from here while traveling to DC, the entry is in an alley so make sure you dont miss it! Totally worth the trip the ingrediente we’re fresh and tasted homemade.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jon Royer · Feb 2026

So the 1st thing the entrance is in the alley of an office building, looked kinda sketchy but sometimes those kind of places are good, And I was right. When I went in I was the only one there other than staff, other people did come in for take out and a couple of girls did come dine in. The food was good! The I got the large salsa and was happy with the portion size and I got hot and it was spicy! Overall it was a good visit I would try it again.
