“Really, really delicious veggie tacos. You can tell from the flavor and texture that the tortillas are homemade. I had the creamy kale and potato taco on my first try, and want to go back to try more. The iced hibiscus tea is tasty and very refreshing.Very clean and welcoming environment.“
“First time to DC, and this was my first place to eat while here. Amazing service! Above and beyond on hospitality. Really appreciate that nowadays. The tacos were incredible!!!! I felt like a food critic while eating them. FLAVOR TOWN!!! You can taste all the flavors…how often can you say that! Wish I wasn’t here on business in order to share the experience with my loved ones.“
“It's a really nice place to go. Had a date with my wife here. Really one of those rare places you love to support. The food is great and the service too. Great option for carry out if you don't want to eat outside. My wife said awesome date ?? ? ?“
“Came here with my family for tacos were really try and give me only one lemon for for three tacos. The quesadillas were really good. They really big the drinks are for die for the food the sandwiches are not good, but they’re not that bad either the fries are hard“
“The burritos are great here: fresh ingredients wrapped in a beautiful, almost polished, tortilla.Chilled Jarrito sodas sold here too.I was surprised to find this is a food truck in a quasi-permanent installation near a gas station, but don't let that stop you. And, there is a suitable sit-down space across the street and the Takoma Junction community area including a covered area.One suggestion to the restaurant: add some more sauce options; my personal favorite is chipotle sauce ?“
“Had a great happy hour at Tequila & Mezcal! $8 mezcalitas, $10 tacos (3 per order), etc. the tacos were really good as well! The chicken was deceptively strong, and the Al Pastor was delish. I’d 100% come back again to try more of their delicious food.“
“Great restaurant. Very casual and delicious food. Great variety of food. My husband and I enjoy the shrimp tacos, chicken quesadillas, guacamole, salads and drinks! So many other tempting items to try. Didn’t have room for Gifford ice cream. Looking forward to returning.“
“Got one tongue taco and one chorizo taco, both came with chips and salsa.Only that the amount was one tortilla per taco. The picture shows my purchase of $8.50 for the two tacos.The menu shows three tacos per order.You would need to pay for three tacos or $12 for what is shown on the menu. A bit pricey.Other places I would get 3 tortillas per one order of a taco.“
“Best birria tacos I have ever tried in my life. So delicious. And the consume is so good!! Food was fresh and service was great. My husband is a very picky eater so I was hesitant to try a new place but he loves it and this has now become our new taco place. Even my very picky kids enjoyed their quesadillas. I can’t wait to go back and try their other foods!!“
“Our new favorite taco spot, hands down. Came down to Gaithersburg to go to an unrelated shop which was unfortunately closed; a bit bummed, we looked around, and found this absolute gem.My SO says the SOB tacos remind her of a good, home cooked meal, and I found the chicken reuben to be just as excellent, juicy without being sloppy.My SO also said the margarita was as close to perfect as possible, and I thought the aviation tasted excellent as well.I’m really glad the other place we initially came to this area for was closed, else we may not have stumbled onto S&G. Great food, everyone was friendly. Bit of a drive for folks close to Baltimore (like us), but we’re going to start making it, because this place is THAT good.Parking: Parking on Main Street is competitive during busy hours, but it’s free, and you should be able to find parking within a block or so.“
“The food is remarkable! Everything we ordered, we ordered in the "all Vegan" version; vegan enchiladas, vegan nachos, vegan mushroom taco, vegan butternut squash taco. All this food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to order from Chaia again.“
“I’ve ordered food from Surfside about three times. Mostly after going to bars and lounges in DC. Yesterday, wasn’t as crowded at 2am, when I decided to pick up food. I ordered the Cabo San Lucas- steak tacos, plain shrimp tacos, and a Maui taco. The tacos tasted great after you spent the night drinking and dancing. I spent $41.64 on 5 tacos. You have to order and wait outside or either in your car for your food. That sucks when it’s 40 degrees outside.“
“This is where we need to go! Small business owners who make genuine food from the heart. I had the opportunity to meet the wonderful owner Ruby. She was a gem. And she has a gem that she serves to the community. I appreciated that she gave me a moment to speak while it was slow to share the history of where she came and where her and her team are going. This is a fairly new business, has not been open for more than a year. To everyone in the community far and wide. Whether you're black, Latino, native, blue, orange, or however you identify, it doesn't matter! Come and enjoy this soulful food. She was so welcoming and the warm welcome and how she explained the dishes to me, delivered an experience that I will never forget. I wish her and her team much success ??.Now, into the food -Pupusas (chicken and cheese) -10/10Coleslaw- 9/10 (It's new for me. But I like it. Need to try more.Plantains - 8/10 (Everyone likes plantains different. So I'm sure they'd be a 10/10 if I'd communicated that I like them fried hard.Yuka w/meat and coleslaw- 10/10! Wow! I have never had this dish before but the flavors. The seasoning to perfection.Overall - Maria's is more than pupusas. There's some history, there are always stories, and there is plethora of food. On the weekends, this spot is said to have over 400-600 patrons that come out to enjoy the food, the atmosphere and the service. This business also does catering.(I was not paid for this review. I walked in curiously after being served old food from the sub China shop across the street and had to throw the food away. And Maria's stood out like a bright light into a new dimension. And what wonderful things I got to see. And a beautiful person I got to meet.)“
“Even for non-meat eaters!My office has ordered from Andrea’s in the past and I’ve been hearing about the “best burritos in the world”. I finally got to try one today! I was nervous because, as a vegetarian, I saw that everything on their menu includes meat. I didn’t want to miss out on their burritos, so I took a chance and ordered the California burrito with *no meat*. 6 other people in my office also ordered the same thing, but theirs with meat. I was worried that Andrea’s would see a large order of what looked like identical burritos and put carne asada in mine too. But when the order was ready, there was one burrito carefully labeled “veggie”. I was SO happy and even happier after my first bite. The burrito was DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to try more “vegetarian” food from Andrea’s! Thank you for the amazing food and amazing service.“
“Stumbled upon this place when trying to find some late lunch and was pleasantly surprised! We didn’t try the juices, but the tacos were so good and for pretty decent prices. It’s nice to sit outside when the weather is pleasant too. Will definitely be coming back!“

“I almost didn’t want to write this because this truck has become my BEST kept secret lol but I can’t deny them a worthy review. The food is SO DAMN GOOD!!!!!!! Fresh, quality, seasoned ingredients, GENEROUS HEFTY PORTIONS, & literally EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!!! I’ve gotten their steak taco bowl, chicken taco bowl, carne asada tacos, pupusas, steak quesadillas, burritos, made to order and everything was loaded with meat, fresh veggies, delicious condiments and sides. Even their sour cream is perfect & I don’t even like sour cream that much.I love it here!!!!!!!!! Side note: they are so hardworking and sweet, they’ve even been open during inclement weather, which I have thanked them for profusely. I will keep supporting this business ever chance I get as I could eat here everyday happily.“
“Qué rico! ? This Mexican food is absolutely divine! The flavors are so vibrant and authentic, it's like a taste explosion in my mouth! The tortillas are perfectly handmade, the meats are tender and juicy, and the sauces are rich and bold. And the presentation? ¡Es una obra de arte! ? Every dish is a masterpiece, a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. I could eat here every day and never get tired of it. The service is also top-notch, friendly and attentive. ¡Viva la comida mexicana! ?? Five stars isn't enough, this place deserves a million! ?“
“The only problem is the stop light but that won't stop me from getting my chicken burrito! The burrito is huge!! It's delicious and affordable and quick. Would like to try others as well that I have seen on the menuParking: Not much parking around lunch and dinner time“
“It's a small restaurant so the space is tight, but there are some outdoor seating options. The staff are super friendly, but service was a bit slow.Don't let that discourage you from visiting because the food is delicious. The lomo saltado had a deep flavored, almost adobo type sauce that's different from what I've had in Peru which was more centered on the beef flavor. Guacamole is freshly made and worth the add on.“
“Hello neighbors,Last night we got take out from the Tacos El Pariente food truck in Olney. We ordered the lengua (tongue) taco, the birria combo with consommé, cheese quesadillas, esquites corn, beef and chicken burritos (not pictured- kids ate the before I could take a picture) and churros. The service was friendly and quick and the food was delicious. The prices were very reasonable as well. Definitely worth a visit. Give them a try.“
“If I could eat here everyday I would. This little corner restaurant that's so easy to miss if you aren't tooling for it really brings the flavor with their Asian twist to Tex-Mex. I always order takeout which is pretty easy through toast. The wait time is always a few minutes more than what they tell you which is not a problem. My favorite dish is the kimchi fries. I usually don't get the egg or add any protein but I heard it takes it to another level! You can't go wrong with the Tex-Mex egg rolls and I enjoy their spicy chicken burritos with fresco and pico de gallo toppings.“
“Can't decide between tacos or pupusas? Get both! Elvira's is the spot. Service is quick and the food is authentic. The pupusas were hot and packed nicely, so they traveled well. Others in my party got a bunch of different tacos- carnitas, chicken and a few others and everyone loved them! Will definitely be back.“
“The service is wonderful. Very fast and fresh. I recommend the Birria pizza. They also have different types of specialties, a lot of different options for tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, different types of desserts, chips, and guacamole, or queso. Everything they have here is really good.“
