Mama Chuy
2620 Georgia Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20001
Mama Chuy DC, a modern-day Mexican taqueria... is so much more than your typical run-of-the-mill taco joint. Head Chef and menu developer, Joe Orozco has long been inspired by the authentic home cooking of his childhood, so much so that he named his first restaurant after his beloved Grandmother. Armed with recipes passed down for generations, his main goal is to continually provide flavorful food, with basics jazzed up by locally sourced seasonal products. While authenticity is ever-important, at Mama Chuy DC, there is room for creativity and reinvention without losing sight of true Mexican flavors.
Dining Style: Casual Dining
Price: $30 and under
Parking: Street Parking
Cross Street: Fairmont

"We love Mama Chuy's guacamole and sopes, and the homey feel of the restaurant. We know to not go here when we're in a hurry, as the service can be slow. If you keep that in mind, it will be an excellent trip."

"Food was great and server was great, but terribly understaffed. If this place is able to overcome the service obstacle, it will be outstanding."
