“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⭐️“

Definitely recommend coming here for all of your burritos, tacos, etc — and more, for professionalism!

“went for the brunch buffet and it was okay. definitely thought they'd have some sort of Mexican option on the buffet other than chips and salsa/guacamole. website says bottomless mimosas but once you get there it changes to the first one is included with the buffet, additional drinks are $3 each. would go back during the week to try happy hour and tacos. staff was friendly but scarce, had to flag someone down each time for a drink and the check“

“really came across some delicious Mexican food during my travels! wanted a quick bite and Taqueria El Guacamole popped up on my map. menu looks extensive w all the traditional dishes. can't go wrong w any choices but I got the al pastor tacos & supreme burrito.

the al pastor tacos were delicious! pieces of pineapples added an additional bold flavor to an already flavorful marinated pork. salsa verde & rojo were on point! rojo had a nice kick, too!

the burrito came w seasoned, scrumptious fries! polished those off before even getting home. the burrito was huge and stuffed! will definitely be getting it again!

overall highly recommended! the place was cleaned, vibrant, cozy. the gentleman was pleasant and helpful w the order. I'd gladly visit again and try different items!“

“Best Mexican food around. Friendly staff always know your name and preferences! Monday night trivia is the best!!“

“El hambienteuy sano y amigable y con muy buen servicio.“

“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“

“Im a non Hispanic American. They speak English! This is the BEST REAL MEXICAN RESTAURANT..OMG. the food is good. I would never go to Qdoba ever again..the amount of food they give is huge and for less money with authentic taste!!! Best Papusa. Best Quessdillo I've wver eaten. Best sweet buns too.“

“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“

“We highly recommend this place. Papusas, Sopa de Res and Sieta Mares were on point!!!“

“I can still taste the papusas as I write this; I want itto be fresh in my face as I review!

I walked in last weekend and had the best steak tacos I've had in the area. I was looking for a place to sit and wait, this was not it. No dine-in here, take out and delivery only, but it's so good! It's hidden behind the the police station of the long Reach Village Center.

Tonight, I used store front delivery to feed my family. It got here so fast, but I was not given an option online to tip. Hopefully, you have some cash.

The papusas are out of this world! I only wished they hadn't been delivered stacked on top of each other. It was a mushy, hot mess of heaven!

Chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos were good. But, don't be like me and wolf down the first taco before you realize the slaw was in a baggie on the side. Steak tacos were 'write home to momma' good, chicken tacos were legit, but dry without the slaw. The crunchy banana chips in the slaw were interesting and something I really appreciated.

I want to eat here every day 😋“

“Well, this is certainly an authentic Mexican restaurant. A broad array of Mexican dishes are represented. You've got central classics such as birria, northern delicacies such as burritos, and even a lot of Oaxacan dishes. I think the variety is just great and the dishes are all collections of diverse flavours arranged very nicely.

That being said, the taste is great, but not perfect. The restaurant is dirty, the management could use a bit more conscientiousness, and the parking situation is atrocious.

Nevertheless, if you want real authentic Mexican food, here's your shot and it's really a potent contender in that category.“
