20 Best Taco Restaurants near Columbia

“Saw this on google maps and the reviews looked good and I wanted some Mexican food. My husband and I went and it’s a food truck on the side of an apartment complex, but don’t let looks deceive you, the food is amazing. The woman taking orders was nice and friendly; the menu is a little overwhelming and I ultimately decided to go with the Tacos Mexicanos. There are a few picnic tables with umbrellas, but it was raining so we waited in the car and our order was ready in less than ten minutes. We took it to go to a nearby brewery that allows outside food. The order was packed with napkins and utensils and as soon as I opened the bag I could smell the cilantro and it smelled amazing. I got three tacos with carnitas and a side of salsa and a couple lime wedges. The tacos were so delicious and flavorful. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“I’ve visited this Mexican restaurant several times, and it’s consistently delicious. The tortillas aren’t handmade, but they’re still very good, and the variety of tacos is excellent. Coming from a Hispanic background, I’d say this is one of the closest spots to authentic, Americanized Mexican food in the area. Overall, I definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“I’ve been coming to this taco truck for years now…and I hope and plan to keep doing so!

The food is fabulous and delicious, and the portions are quite generous. I’ve had many tacos and quesadillas from here, they’re excellent, but my regular now is a steak torta (best. sandwich. ever.). Usually my order lasts me two or more meals!

Can’t overstate how much I love this restaurant and appreciate the consistent, high quality food its owner cooks up. Check it out! This place IS my Chipotle! Better food, better portions, AND better prices! Thank you to the restaurant owner for maintaining this wonderful food fixture in our community!“

“DMV Taqueria food truck is highly recommended! It’s smart to call in your order as they’ve grown in popularity as the word’s gotten out. My neighbor loves their chicken quesadillas. My favorite is the shrimp quesadillas, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I understand the churros are a favorite too, though I’ve not personally tried them. The drive home is brutal. The food smells so amazing, I can’t park the car fast enough. 5⭐️“

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“Nice atmosphere. Music is nice and not too loud. Comfortable seating.

Food is amazingly good! I got a Classic Smashburger and was floored by the flavor. Just be sure to use napkins The fries are fantastic and normally I hate waffle fries but these were some of the best fries I've had in a while. The sauces that came with it were great.

My father got some peri peri chicken (hot) and that was also delicious. No one at the table had anything bad to say about the food.

Dude running the register was super nice and gave us tons of sauces for free. He was very attentive to us and personable.“

“Amazing flavor, great service!!!“

“riquísima comida mexicana y ricas pupisas“

“I’ve been going to Taqueria Juqalita for years, and it’s always a great experience. The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. My go-to is the chicken tostadas (so good!), while my husband usually gets the burrito loco or quesadillas—he’s never disappointed. Their customer service is just as impressive. Everyone I’ve interacted with, whether over the phone or in person, has been kind, welcoming, and professional. I’m always greeted with a smile, and it’s clear they truly care about their customers. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best tacos I’ve had in Maryland thus far! I drive out from Baltimore just to get these!“

“A cool place to hang out and eat some delicious Tacos (the birria is my favorite) and drink some really great drinks (I love the margarita!). With the new tables that are lower, this place is even more accessible for everyone. Five stars!“

“Had an incredible dinner at Cilantro’s! The sangarita was refreshing and full of flavor, and the cochinita pibil was tender, rich, and absolutely satisfying. The service was warm and attentive, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The only bakery we go to and it is the best“
