48 Best Taco Restaurants near District Heights

“Food is amazing, highly recommend!! *****“

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone“

“When I forget to bring lunch to work, District Taco is usually the first place that pops into mind. I always get their bowl with black beans with the cabbage topping. What really makes their bowl special is that I can add potatoes! It is a little addition that makes the meal really hardy and keeps me full until dinner. Like many places, you order on a screen, and they will call out when your food is ready.“

“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.“

“Traveling from Massachusetts, this was our first time at Taqueria Al Lado II — and it absolutely blew us away. We started with chips, guac, salsa, and queso — every dip was fresh and bursting with flavor. The tacos (beef and carnitas) were phenomenal, each with distinct, authentic seasoning. The quesabirria was rich and cheesy, and the rice rounded the meal off perfectly. Bruno, our server, was outstanding — friendly, fast, and genuinely made the experience better. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and for the quality of food, the prices are unbeatable. Easily a 5-star stop. We’ll be talking about this place back in MA.“

“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“

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

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“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!“

“This place is soooo good! The first time I went I went back the next day! The nachos are AMAZING I’m pretty sure they cooked them fresh because I’ve never had tortilla chips that fresh and delicious. The empanadas were perfectly crispy and delicious. I’m leaving this review because I’m trying to decide what to order next. The only thing I would change is training for the young man at the cash register. He is a kid so I don’t expect him to get it 100% correct but I think some training on customer service (greeting customers, speaking loudly, substitution of items) would help. I highly recommend this place!“

“Outstanding service from Kathy and delicious food!! We moved from Southern California a year ago and we finally found a wonderful place an hour away from NoVa. We will be back soon and hope to see Mexican Coco on the menu.“

“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.“

“Love it!! Best al pastor!“

“On fresh impression, the feel of friendly pub, some irish meets sports bar. But like the rest of the comments found below I will say this is definitely a friendly very considerate and welcoming little Pub to be at, highly recommended we'll be back“

“It’s a whole vibe at MaryLou’s! I ended up here because I great friend of the family picked this place for dinner to catch up. The staff was really nice. The food I had was really good. I ordered the lamb chops with a salad. Delicious in my book 👏🏿👏🏿 I was also able to try some of their greens which were good as well. The DJ kept things interesting with a Trivia Game for shots of Don Julio. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be returning“

“After moving from Florida I have been tirelessly searching for a good taco place in Maryland. I was so happy to find Tacos A La Madre! When you go inside it is very under decorated, but clean and they have a good sense of branding with their black and yellow color scheme. The tacos are amazing, flavorful, and consistent every time I go. The ingredients taste fresh. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the shrimp tacos and the birria tacos! 🌮 This is our new go-to taco place. You have to go- you won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“I am a picky eater but I was surprised with the cleanliness level, jaw dropping food and outstanding customer service...thank you very much..definitely will visit every time I am in DC“

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had“

“Muy buena atención muy rica la comida👌“

“Everything was really good, we got wings and red snapper (I ordered catfish but didn’t understand me) the wings were fresh and crispy, I got lemon pepper wet and the fried rice was great. There’s a bit of a language barrier, they mostly speak Spanish, but other than that 10/10“

“This is by far the most delicious food Truck I have ever been to in Dc .
Authentic food and good vibes , amazing location . Everything is to the 9.

Dietary restrictions: He has such a delicious mushroom tacos made from oysters mushrooms ……..by far the best vegetarian tacos I have ever had .“

“delicioso 🔥😚🙏🙏 lo recomiendo al 100% ,Ricas las pupusas y los tacos igual“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“OMG!!!!! When I tell you that I have never tried a tastier roast chicken in the world, it is because it is true.... This place has one of the best foods with a lot of seasoning, it tastes so good and they give you good portions and the prices are fair. THANK YOU I'm going to come every day until I try the entire menu!!!!!!!! <3“

“Can I say EXCELLENT! We searched for dinner options on Saturday night and found SPs Cuisine through Google. I called to ask questions and the customer service was impeccable. I had a large order (10) and was understandably nervous, but the person on the phone was patient and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Everything was correct, the food was hot, and the chef did an outstanding job. We will definitely be back. Shrimp and Salmon Rasta Pasta Wings Shrimp & Salmon Veggie sides My only complaint was the smoke, when my husband and brother returned the smell of smoke was overwhelming.“

“Guatemalan cuisine. 10/10 of the food portions, taste of the food, and amazing customer service. Love the shucos and the parrillada mixta, the hibiscus juice is the best one I had tried so far (agua de Jamaica)“

“I really appreciate that they stay open later than most places in the area. The tacos were flavorful, but what stood out most was the service. I asked for room-temperature water (they only had cold), and ELISEO went out of his way to buy one for me — a gesture I won’t forget. My only feedback is that the bathroom and dining area could be kept a bit cleaner. Overall, a great experience! 5 stars for ELISEO!“

“Great place great atmosphere and excellent food“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“Excelente lugar para disfrutar de unos deliciosos tacos son verdaderamente deliciosos“

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had“

“This place hits the spot. Came here after a concert when nothing much else was open and didn’t expect much. Incredibly tasty and filling. Great portion for the price! I had the Port Antonio quesadilla, and the pineapple mango salsa was bomb. My horchata wasn’t that great though.

Definitely get why this is a post-night out favorite; significantly better than your late night Taco Bell run.“

“Amazing food and service! The manager (from Honduras) did a fantastic job!!!“

“Good and Clean! Food always HIT.
After Ushering at church, I don't want to cook. I want to go to Silvestre Chicken #1 and watch the game IN THE STORE while I CRUSH my dinner. They have a plug on the wall...ummm hummm
Let's watch THE GAME“

“Food is great! Music, dancing and karaoke is fun!“

“Aprobados por un mexicano 😋🥰 Demasiadamente deliciosos Gracias por traer tacos a silver spring Md“

“These are authentic street tacos. Don’t come here looking for TexMex. No cheese. Lettuce. Sour cream. None of that 💩 on these bad boys. I got the carnitas tacos. And took the birria home for my kiddos. Excellent.“

“Wonderful mixture of flavors and textures. Refreshing and filling at the same time. Definitely a must if you like asian mex fusions. 🤤“

“Food was good but they cheap with sauce. You bought 1 order of 1/2chicken w/2sides you get the same amount of sauce for 4 orders of 1/2 chicken. This is in Bowie Md location. I guess I am not coming back there again.“
