47 Best Taco Restaurants near Bethesda

“Definitely worth the wait. Took me a while to time a bike ride over to Bethesda as they are only open through (late) lunchtime hours but I am grateful I was able to make it.

I sampled the combo fajitas with steak and chicken, accompanied by peppers and onions, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and rice and beans. Everything was excellent, really good meat quality and well seasoned and grilled. Rice and beans were superb, authentic Mexican flavor.

I also squeezed in an Al Pastor taco and a Chorizo taco and both were very tasty. The Al Pastor was a lighter flavor, but really solid and nice they include the grilled pineapple as hoped. The chorizo is a chunkier variety, vs ground fine, and rich with flavor as well.

Staff is very polite and friendly, and will make modifications where they can.

Can't wait to return to try more items!“

“The new location in Mount Airy MD is really well done. The tacos are THE BEST and most authentic around. The sopes were also delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Totally worth the wait!“

“Delicious vegan fare in a quaint setting. The service can be a bit slow, but the excellent food makes the wait worth one's while. We look forward to many more visits to Chaia!

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegan versions of enchiladas and quesadillas“

“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!“

“So the waitress didn't speak any English, but we worked through it. The menu is nice, simple, authentic food. Very flavorful.

Service was kind of slow considering we were a party of 2 with no one else in the restaurant at 11:30a...didn't get our (2) tacos and (1) burrito for over 30 minutes, but worth the wait.“

“I saw the taco food truck when I turned into get my car serviced. I decided to check it out based on the reviews here… they were not wrong. Very generous servings. In glass I only got 2 street tacos. Salsa was very good. I am sad that I live an hour away! $4 a taco was worth it!“

“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!“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

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

“I found these tacos good but not great. The campechano and suadero tacos were decent, but the fish taco was clearly not fried to order and the al pastor was quite dry. However, I really liked the tetela and margaritas, the space was well designed and inviting, and service was friendly.“

“great food and service! tacos are outstanding and the tex mex egg roll are definitely a must buy!“

“An Absolutely Delightful Experience! ??I've been driving past the 3 Hermanos food truck several times, always tempted by the tantalizing aromas but never stopping. Yesterday, I finally gave in to the craving and boy, am I glad I did!I ordered a shrimp taco bowl and a beef burrito, and the lovely lady in the truck was incredibly pleasant. She took my order with a smile and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I received my food, it looked absolutely mouth-watering, and the taste did not disappoint!Both the burrito and the shrimp taco bowl were incredibly well-balanced and full of flavor. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the seasoning on the beef was simply divine. We really had an awesome experience, and we'll definitely be visiting 3 Hermanos more frequently now.One thing to note about the burrito – the white sauce was delicious, but be careful .... Overall, I highly recommend 3 Hermanos for an authentic and delicious Mexican food experience. The friendly service and incredible flavors make it a must-try for anyone in the area!

Parking: It is in Sunoco Gas station“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“This is a food truck. Does not appear to move around. We found this place via Google. There is no pricing on the menu. We got one burrito and two chicken tacos for $20. It is a small menu and honestly, they do it well.

The chicken taco meat is well seasoned and the lime provides a layer of freshness. Add the hot sauce for that extra kick. The hot sauce has a hint of smokiness. This gives a nice touch to the taste.

The burrito is a nice size. Overall, good price and great tasting.“

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

“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!“

“Really tasty food and very friendly people! Would recommend especially the pork belly tacos!“

“Wow! Besides the food being exceptional, I was also informed that they cook in exclusively olive oil, use good quality ingredients (no shortcuts), and their meat is halal. The owners are passionate and the food tastes like a lot of love and thought has gone into curating each dish.

I got the guac taco dip, Mexican chicken tacos, and pressed taco- flavorful, fresh and probably the best food I’ve had in a while.

10/10- must visit!“

“Amazing food and great people. Only caution I have is that you might end up getting addicted and eating here multiple times a week!“

“Thank you for participating in our back to school night. Everyone raved about your food and you were so easy to partner with for this event. Thank you“

“It's an absolute MUST if you love Americna twists on traditional delicious Mexican food. I just arrived a few hours ago from Mexico, so I'm coming from good authority when I say you HAVE GOT TO try this place. The salsas were a little underwhelming, but the rest of the menu is stellar! The bar tender was a gem and even handled a Karen very respectfully but was hilarious. It was a clean, fun, and overall wonderful experience with food, staff, and atmosphere.“

“Love it!! Best al pastor!“

“When I started my stumbling Spanish, the lady called her coworker to the window who spoke perfect English. I ordered two tasty tacos double wrapped in soft tortillas for just $7. The portions were generous, and the beef well seasoned. There's a table in a divider strip between the parking lot and the street, so the ambiance is basic taco truck.“

“I took a friend here for dinner. It was our first time. Food was great...hot and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere left a little to be desired, and I didn't like the counter service model at this pricepoint, but again, the steaks we ordered were perfect. Maria, the manager checked on us a few times and was very friendly. We will be back!“

“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)“

“great food good service“

“Great staff, great owners, great food! Hands down, this will be our go to spot! Their food prices are fair, and the happy hr prices are the best in the DMV as well! A friend an I went to this location for the first time, and we loved it. Definitely recommend!“

“Great joint. Food is innovative and subtle, drawing flavor from unexpected places (as opposed to piling on the salt), and the menu has great variety, in terms of proteins, flavors, and array of dishes.
Add a fun, curated wine list, and exceptional service, all at abundantly reasonable prices, and this is one of the best pure meals you’ll get in the area.
L&C is still growing into the space, and it isn’t helped by some shabby, dated surroundings—but so much care has gone into this place, I’m really hopeful they’ll hang on and help revitalize that whole neck of the woods…“

“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.“

“Tacos. Están rikos. Y la tortas. Apenas el primer día. K llego después probaré lo demás 🤠“

“Carne asada tacos were great. Ribeye tacos 🌮 were bomb“

“We love Fish Taco's fish burritos and tacos. Their burritos are tasty and filling.“

“Really yummy though we had to wait about 20 min for food (but worth it)! I had the chilaquiles with red sauce and chicken. Hubby had the tacos. And of course, had to get some sweet horchata. Definitely would visit again if I’m in this area.“

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

“In my opinion, these are the best tacos in the area, and made me feel like I was in Southern California. The lengua, mixto, and el pastor are all amazing and come with the perfect accoutrements and both green and red sauce. Also, each time I’ve visited this truck, all of the workers have been so friendly and welcoming. El Chilango is always my first recommendation to people looking for delicious and authentic tacos“

“This place is amazing and the owner is awesome! 10/10 on the food.“

“Excellent tacos with crispy corn tortillas. Had the pork, chorizo, shrimp, fish, and queso birria. Highly recommend the pork and chorizo. This place is more accurately described as a food truck with a picnic table next to it. Reminds me of a lot of places in TX. Love it.“

“I found this place on DoorDash and took a chance, they did not disappoint. I always get the Tacos De Birria and it’s always still hot when I get it so I know it’s fresh. So cheesy and lots of meat and full of flavor . I’m afraid to go anywhere else to get Birria tacos cause I feel other places won’t be as good as this place. I definitely recommend Polleria Tres Amigos to anyone 😊“

“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!“

“The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and the hibiscus margaritas. The service was great too!“

“Adored these tacos initially in their G’town location. Delighted by new centralized DC location with seemingly broader menu. Always creative combinations, beautifully prepared, healthy and flavorful. Food is fun.“

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had“

“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.“
