50 Best Taco Restaurants near Bethesda

“Great food, really enjoy the chilaquiles and tacos. Beware the space inside is small with limited seating outside. Also, while their published hours on the storefront door are M-F 8a to 4pm and Sa 8a to 1pm, they will not officially open the restaurant doors until 8:30am on Saturday and stop service around 12:30 based on my experience with them.“

“Great pub, great Guinness, great staff. Owner can be a bit of a prick.“

“Honestly this has been my go to spot for years as I loved their farm to table, healthy, vegetarian tacos! However, I sadly won’t be returning as they’ve just added chicken to their menu! Such a shame- vegetarian spots in dc are hard to come by- there are countless other places that serve chicken tacos. Such a shame, as I always brought all our friends and family here! Hope they change it back to all vegetarian!“

“I tried the fajitas mixta today the food was great quality and very juicy great food. The customer service very attentive, great atmosphere and great environment to top it off got there new exotic dragon fruit lemonade ps better the starbucks🫢.“

“Amazing tacos here. Perhaps the best in the city. What makes this place spectacular is the salsa, both the roja and the verde. Tortillas weren’t dry or sandy like how they can be in a lot of other places.

I also had quesadillas and the chips and guacamole. Both were incredible.“

“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.“

“Nice place, ordering was very easy and sufficient - settled for a quesadilla since I wanted something a little light to snack on - very flavorful and fulfilling, not overly price! Sat inside and the music was pleasant to listen too - not too loud but enjoyable, nice and clean atmosphere! Nice bar and bar seating, will be back to visit for a happy hour as I enjoyed a late Sunday afternoon lunch here.“

“I was there a few hours ago, I was eating tacos al pastor talking with brothe at the windon about important things, a guy that works at the company came and start screaming in front of us about some delivery or I don't know,(was from the next door) soooo rude and get aggressive with us! Why? I was there
to enjoy my Tacos! Ill call the police on him !“

“I was so lucky to be able to try this truck a few times when the first started a couple of years ago and loved it then. I brought some international colleagues to this truck, making big promises, and Tacos Mi Rancho is still my favorite truck after all these years. With the 3 year gap of having it, it was still the best taco truck in my opinion. Food came out fast even though they had a long line of customers and the quesobirria was perfect as always. I also think they price very reasonably! My international colleagues were blown away by their food.“

“Some of the best pupusas I’ve ever had, the epitome of the perfect pupusa, cheesy, fluffy and delicious. Freshly made and really hot off the grill, loved the lettuce and sauce on the side as well. Highly recommend. The pina juice was good too.“

“I had an amazing experience at Nash & Smashed! The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I brought a group of friends with me, and every single one of them loved their meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

It’s rare to find a place that has both great food and such outstanding customer service. Nash & Smashed definitely exceeded our expectations. This is a must-try spot, and honestly, it deserves way more attention than it gets. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Love this place! Their queso is a must“

“Hands down the best burrito I’ve ever had! The tacos were incredible, and the owner was one of the kindest, friendliest people we’ve met. If you’re in the area, you have to stop by and try it. You won’t regret it, you’ll absolutely love it!“

“Everything good, especially the guacamole
Expensive, but what isn’t these days.
The salmon taco is best!
Our grand daughters enjoy the quesadillas
Made a mistake one day and ordered the regular chicken burrito, it was huge. The small is plenty.
My husband ordered the grilled fish taco platter. It was full with mango!“

“Great tacos from El Chilango. It’s great value for the money and made to order. Whenever in the area I try and stop by. I’ve tried a few different types of tacos from here and I stick to the steak and mixto. Additionally the onion and habanero mix that is offered on the side is nice touch. Recommend if I. The area.“

“I enjoyed 3 tacos al pastor. I like that the taco meat wasnt spicy in itself and was given a side of hot as an option. I think a menu price would be great.. small limited menu I dont think they offer drinks (there’s a 7 eleven right up the street) but overall pretty good no frills spot & will definitely go again next time I am in that area“

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

“We had the lamb chili relleno weekend special and it was awesome. My wife had fish taco. This is definitely a gem. Would recommend trying. This is a mix of various ethnic cuisine styles. Definitely will be a regular stop for us moving forward.“

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

“great food good service“

“I come for the shrimp, I stay for the beans and rice. (And I NEVER stick around for beans and rice!) Seriously, every morsel of food on the shrimp platter is so delicious. And the folks at the window are lovely. The pupusas are also delish.“

“los mejores tacos de la región 😋👌🏻, altamente recomendadisimo“

“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.“

“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 .“

“Wings are really really solid! Nothing super special but nothing negative to say. Just some really solid ole fashioned buffalo wings and fries well fried and good sauce. Also another review mentioned they received no ranch or ketchup but I did receive both. Wings and fries are 5x better than the more expensive ones right across the street at Wonder“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“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 order delivery from here often and its my new favorite go to Mexican spot. Everything is exceptionally flavorful, well-seasoned, and fresh. Nothing is overly salty or greasy, and it genuinely tastes homemade. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Especially love the adobo chicken bowl and the chicken tinga bowl. Appreciate that they include 3 salsas on the side to mix & match which are really delicious. Love that you can taste the fire-roasted flavor in them!“

“Friendly staff and great food!“

“Great restaurant and service.“

“The best tacos I have ever eaten in the US! (And I travel for a living)“

“Muy rica comida y buena atención“

“The food was good quality, and on par with Mexican restaurants in the district. For some reason, restaurants in the DMV always make a good branzino, and Muchas Gracias is no exception. Although I didn’t try the tres leches, it looked absolutely amazing. The hole in the wall, narrow cantina atmosphere was really cool, and created a really interesting place to eat a meal. I had the fajitas (giving them a fair 7.5/10).

The best part of the dining experience was the service. Very, very attentive and understanding to our table, checking if the food was alright or if we needed any drinks, regularly coming to refill water. We did not feel forgotten.“
