“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“Love them. Eat there often. I swear the food is better than some of the area restaurants. Great service!👍🏻“

“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⭐️“

“Stopped after getting my car looked at, at DR Auto, and was finished at lunch time. Rick suggested it, and I’m BEYOND grateful! 3 steak/3 chicken tacos and a cheese & veggie quesadilla. Best. Food. EVER!! Never been so happy to have a damn good food truck, within walking distance!“

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

“riquísima comida mexicana y ricas pupisas“

“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 had our first Bubbakoo’s last night and it was better than Chipotle. And I LOVE Chipotle. I have a new favorite though. Can’t wait for next time!“

“100% as good as Texas!!(even better) So happy, surround yourself with Tacos, not negativity!! , ok heres the update, I added some more pictures, I got the best veggie tacos, ive ever had, I got the best lamb burrito, I've ever had, and the street tacos were in there like swimwear!! And I have a whole container to take for later. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I'll be BACK!"“

“Good food, delicious queso, quality meats in the tacos. Only one suggestion is that the habanero margarita should be spicier.

The interior layout is narrow, bright and simple. The fresh tortilla making machine was fun to watch.

Good for family dinner and couples night out.

Reasonably priced, friendly staff.

“I've been meaning to try this truck for weeks & finally made it there on 9/17. El Taco Loco was worth the wait! I had the Asada, Chorizo & Pork Carnitas tacos. All 3 were yummy but the spicy Chorizo was my fave. At $5.00 each, the 3 corn tacos were a bit small but made for a tasty late-day snack. My only complaint was that there was no red salsa, guacamole & sour creama to top them with. The owner chef did garnish each taco with avocado slices, but plain avocado has no taste -- I need guacamole! There was also a tiny (1 teasp. worth!) container of green sauce that tasted of avocados & tomatillos, but it wasn't anough to apply to 3 tacos! yours truly likes her traditional OG taco toppings. But overall, what I had was Delicioso! I will definitely be back to El Taco Loco very soon to check out the rest of the menu.“

“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“

“This is a 'whole in the wall' Mexican restaurant with convenient location, clean tables and friendly, but not overly so service. I'll be back for special;s on Tuesday! Oh and I would add that sweet free ice tea would be nice!“

“Huge if true! Heres a hint:“

“I Absolutely ? Love The Fajitas Mixta, "Which Consist Of Chicken,Steak,& Shrimp" If You Like Or There Carne Asada Grilled Steak Is Very Yummy as well.❤️ Las Fajitas Mixta Y Carne Asada Is ?

“FANTASTIC! I just tried a couple tacos on a whim from their truck at Taylor Ave and Loch Raven Blvd. and I'm very glad I did. I got the shrimp taco and the taco al pastor. Both were well crafted, the core proteins flavorful, the cheese, sauce and vegetables all extremely fresh, the shells hearty. The shrimp was especially fantastic, the seasoning didn't overpower its wonderful natural flavor, and the mild crumbled white cheese (queso fresco?) was a very nice compliment. The Taco al pastor was equally well made, and even more flavorful, with a unique blend of seasonings. While the seasoning wasn't my personal favorite, (slightly sweeter than I would like, though not extreme, with I think a little bit of cinnamon?) I was still happy to eat it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new flavor. Overall 5⭐ out of 5“

“Delighted with the birria tacos, the most delicious I have ever eaten in my life! At first I thought that $15 for an order of tacos was a bit exaggerated but when they gave them to me I understood why, they were super full of meat, nice presentation and not to mention the flavor ?“

“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.“
