39 Best Taco Restaurants in Washington

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“A well kept secret in the city. It is a restaurant without much pretension, which offers good quality Mexican food with careful service. The space is small, so it is ideal to go as a couple or in small groups. The price-quality ratio is good.“

“I spent a couple hours here because my flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Cosmos were perfectly pink. (If they’re clear and red they’re not made correctly) and only $6 during Happy Hour. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, Cosmos I ordered the Bora Bora marinated chicken without the tortilla over rice. It was delicious! The chicken was so tender and tasty and all the flavors were wonderful. I also enjoyed watching the surfers on TV,. The waves relaxed me instead being stressed out over a delayed flight. Definitely recommend this place for its casual atmosphere and good food. Even if you don’t like Mexican!“

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Fantastic place for really good farm to table vegetarian food. This was a stop on a good tour of DC. The atmosphere is friendly and lively. The staff is fantastic. The food is amazing. I had a delicious taco that unfortunately I don't remember the name of 😑, but I did take a picture. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“Been dying to try this place for a while. Loved the atmosphere. Staff was nice. Markus was a whole vibe! He had me & my gf cracking up. The Baja fish, glazed pork, & chicken tacos are my fav. We will def be back and this time it’ll be early enough to grab seats at the bar!“

“The new patio lighting is really bad. Too bright and kind of yellow like hospital lighting. Much better before when they had nice warm string lights.

But the food is excellent and the margaritas are the best we found ! Don't let the lighting turn you off, it's an awesome place to have drinks and tacos!“

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

“After traveling across the whole city (I was visiting for Project Glow), I was exhausted. This restaurant was a life saver. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would certainly come back, and it's definitely worth a visit if you're in Adams Morgan.“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go! The Roost was my go to during the pandemic with tons of outdoor seating. Since it was in my neighborhood we frequented a lot. The staff watched my little one practically grow up there! It became our meeting place and neighborhood watering hole. Quick and efficient and some of the best food and customer service! We’ve moved from the area but always stop by when in town because it feels like home!“

“Delicious, homey flavors! The Irish Channel restaurant and pub made us feel right at home with their amazing food and warm hospitality. The owner’s surprise ice cream treat added a special touch, making it even more memorable. So grateful for such a heartwarming experience, especially near Thanksgiving!“

“The breakfast tacos are packed with food. I got a chorizo breakfast taco, and 1 taco was plenty of food. It was delicious. The gentleman who cooked the ingredients fresh on the grill was very customer oriented. Had a very positive vibe. (It is inside the 7-Eleven)“

“Bandit Taco is hands down the best spot for tacos and burritos in DC! Their Taco Tuesday deals and $8 Burrito Wednesdays are unbeatable. The flavors are incredible, portions generous, and the customer service is always top-notch. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on DC’s taco treasure!“

“Best experience ever, thank you! My soon to be 5 year old daughter wanted to go to Bar Taco for her birthday dinner this past Saturday evening. Not surprisingly as it was prime time on a Saturday they had a decent wait but she was determined. The hostess was kind and made sure to keep us updated on where we were on the list while continuously checking how close the tables were to clearing out while also letting my 2 girls pick out full size coloring books. Once we got a table the hostess danced with my daughters to the table. As soon as we sat down the manager came by and said “I heard we have a birthday being celebrated here?” In such a way that really made her feel like a princess. He then brought both my daughters free Shirley Temples and apologized for the wait. After we finished eating the same manager brought both girls free ice cream and comped our dessert we ordered. To top it all off they stopped the girls on the way out and gave them Bar Taco sunglasses, stickers, and a bandana. Thank you making an amazing birthday celebration for my daughter and making this solo dad look cool and like he actually knows what he is doing when it comes to celebrating his girls. I doubt she will ever want to go anywhere else for her birthday dinner.“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“Great restaurant and service.“

“Great place great atmosphere and excellent food“

“Their fish taco was amazing. I’m truly upset I only had time for one but trust I will be back. The taco was full of flavor. The tilapia was cooked to perfection. The sauce they give you on the side has some kick to it but it definitely adds more flavor to the taco. This is definitely a hidden gem.“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had“

“This is my "hands-down" go to in DC! It makes Chipotle look (and taste) like dog food. From their amazing, yet simple, menu of FRESHLY made food, to their exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Sol 👌“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“

“Excelente lugar para disfrutar de unos deliciosos tacos son verdaderamente deliciosos“

“Great variety of tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc and everything was super tasty! Shrimp tacos were especially yummy. Service was friendly and willing to make substitutions and accommodations (flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas, kids meals for an adult with a small appetite, etc.). A little pricey, but that is typical of the area. No free water, only $2 bottles. Lots of birds hanging around waiting for your scraps (and leaving their poop). Seating is somewhat limited and no bathroom available. Take a walk on the wharf afterwards!“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“Wonderful mixture of flavors and textures. Refreshing and filling at the same time. Definitely a must if you like asian mex fusions. 🤤“

“Enjoyed a delicious breakfast. We got The Morrow (eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, and toast) and the Greek Yogurt Parfait. The yogurt was high quality, thick but not too tart. Beautiful fruit, cocoa nibs, and honey. We liked these dishes so much that we got the same thing the next day.“

“I had oxtails, wings, Mac and goat! All of it was 👍🏿“
