I was so pleased with my two tacos from this restaurant this evening! I ordered one shrimp taco and 1 pork carnitas taco, and loved them both! I look forward to my next visit to this restaurant.
Awesome spot with great tacos and very well priced. $5 beers, cocktails start at $10, most tacos are $4.75. Staff is friendly.
This was a good spot for a quick lunch. Limited vegan options, but clearly marked. I enjoyed the jackfruit tacos.

Taqueria Al Lado is a delightful spot with great staff and delicious food. This amazing little taco shop is highly recommended for friends and families alike. Recommended dishes include the taco de lengua, quesabirria tacos, elote, and the SSS Margarita, praised as the best spicy margaritas. The restaurant has plenty of seating options, including outdoor seating, and is kid-friendly, making it suitable for families. Additionally, it offers a gluten-free menu, catering to those with dietary restrictions. Many customers appreciate the friendly and fast service, as well as the inviting atmosphere. Guests have noted the menu is simple and affordable, with tacos around $4.75 each and a large variety of meat options. The horchata is highlighted for being creamy and delicious, adding to the overall appeal of this gem in Adams Morgan. While some mention that the queso could be improved, the flavors and overall experience, including the Tamarind Margaritas, are considered worth the cost. The interior is described as super cool, with unique touches like tile tables and weaved chip baskets, enhancing the overall dining experience.
