13 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!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Walrus as usual. Their shucking raw bar is the best. Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Their staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Aaron was no exception. We went for Chesapeake Oyster week and half price on raw bar Tuesday so we enjoyed a great meal at a fantastic price. Highly recommend, going back real soon.“

“Great tacos out of a trailer in the corner of a gas station, what more could you want??

I stopped by for gas after a run, saw the taco stand, and thought “why not?” Little did I know I was about to have one of the best tacos in the state.

I hope to be back.“

“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⭐️“

“We were going to a concert at Merriweather Post and it was pouring rain. We decided to stop for some food and ended up here by accident. The atmosphere is cozy and nice. The drinks are excellent and the food even better. We went back for our next concert.“

“Please come up towards the mountains! Frederick and its surrounding areas need Banditos! There’s no good places to eat around here. Your food is always on point at every location we’ve been to. The atmosphere is always pleasant as well.“

“Unbelievable experience at what initially looks like a carryout restaurant. When we walked in we knew we were gonna take our carryout order and sit in. The menu has a lot of variety. The food came out fresh and made to order, but it did not take a long time. I looked at the reviews and saw that the Gyro over rice looked really good, it tasted even better!!

The owner was very relatable, and very hospitable. Though you order at the counter, they bring the food to you like at a sit down restaurant! It felt almost like I was eating at a family-friend’s or my uncle’s house!

I already know what I’m going to order when I come back from my second trip! Keep up the amazing job !!

We ended up sitting for another seven minutes, waiting for the check, but we forgot we already paid, just to tell you the type of experience we got !!!“

“riquísima comida mexicana y ricas pupisas“

“We love this food truck! Been coming for years and my favorite is still the mixed platter, which has a combo of beef and pork ribs, steak, and chicken, all over rice with beans and salsa on the side. I’m not sure if it’s listed on the menu anymore, but it is by far my favorite dish! Food tastes fresh and is cooked to perfection. The tortillas are wonderful- thick like ones you’d get in El Salvador- and the pupusas are on point. It has the flavor of real, home cooked food and I find that hard to come by in restaurants and food trucks. So delicious! No matter when I order, it never takes longer than 10 minutes and they now take credit cards, which is a plus. This is a hidden gem in Howard County. There are tables if you’d like to stay and eat, but the road noise is loud, so we most often carry out. If you haven’t been here yet, I highly recommend you give it a try!“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“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!“

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