This taco spot is one of my go-to lunch places! The food is always amazing and the prices are unbeatable for the portions you get. I come here often for lunch and always leave satisfied.
Customer service is okay, staff are neutral, not rude at all, but it would make the experience even better if they were a bit more friendly and welcoming with a smile. Still, I can’t complain because the food quality and value more than make up for it.
Definitely recommend for a great meal at a great price!

Good place to eat delicious, fast and cheap. The ladies who attend are very attentive.
Place is dope. It isn't what it used to be. Mind you it could've been due to the fact that their about to renovate so the bar is gone but that wasn't a problem.
My thing was the quality has gone down. Definitely lacked flavor from the meat lacks and it never did before. I was really disappointed

Stopped by Taco Bar El Guero and went straight for the burrito bowl—split between steak and pastor. Honestly, both were excellent but in different ways: the steak had that nice charred flavor you want, while the pastor came through with a touch of sweetness and spice that kept every bite interesting.
The toppings were fresh, portions generous, and everything felt well-balanced (not just rice filler like some spots do). What stood out was how flavorful the proteins were on their own—you could tell they marinate and season with care.
The vibe here is casual and welcoming, the kind of place you can pop in for a quick bite, hang out with friends, pick up dry cleaning, or get gas. Yes you can do all of those things under the same roof. Prices are fair for the quality, and you definitely leave full.
If you’re in Gaithersburg craving Mexican street-style flavors, this spot is worth the stop.

This place has been poppin' on TikTok and had to roll thru. Enjoyed the Tacos n Spicy Salsa. 1 side ain't enough tho. This place was run by 6 ladies when I came!!! Not seen much but truly appreciated.
I’ve ordered takeout from here 3-4 times a month for close to the past year and have always enjoyed my meals. Tastes like real food with real flavor!

One word: AMAZING! I came here for the first time after seeing a few random posts on social media. I decided on the Breakfast Burrito for lunch and it did not disappoint! Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Ordered food from here for a long time however, recently the orders have been coming out with far less quality and also either were missing things I paid for or missing things I asked for explicitly. Unfortunately, my efforts to resolve such conflict with the Actual Restaurant have been to no avail. I have called twice before… both times they told me to simply order again and they’ll get it right this time. Finally, it happened again where things were missing from the order (being the order isn’t just for me and I’ve called about this before it was a bit disappointing) I called one more time about the last order that was missing two things on the side…again. I was able to speak to Leslie again, which she heard me out, again… however, this time she muted herself for maybe three seconds and then hung up the phone. I called back presuming it was an accident but she answered and hung up again. Now I happened to be outside of the taco bar when this happened. So, maybe a minute later, I walked in and Leslie (usually at the front) has the phone in front of her… as if she just finished speaking on it. I asked if I spoke with her and she hesitated to agree while giggling with colleagues for a brief moment. I left it at that, ordered my food and left. This time they actually did make sure to gather everything in the order. But I am really unhappy with how there still was never any correction for the times before. Additionally, it’s clear they do not care about their customers. Very disappointing as I love the food but don’t seem to be accommodating or accountable for that matter.

Coming from LA and some of the best tacos, this place is certainly up there. Especially the lengua aka tongue, tender and juicy. The al pastor and chorizo were also good. You have the default option of corn tortillas or to pay a little extra for flour tortillas, both hot off the grill.
Service is friendly. The atmosphere is inviting.

Taco Bar is a fantastic place to eat. I have been going there for over 15 years and it’s always been a great place. Kudos to Miranda who is a fantastic person and does a fabulous job taking care of customers and keeping things moving at the restaurant. 😃👌🏼🏆
Food was just ok. Service was rude.
