My partner and I were searching for a quick dinner spot and managed to find Taqueria Xintli a few minutes from us. We stopped by and are happy to have found it.The basics:- They have tacos, tortas, quesadillas, sopes, gorditas, burritos, and a few other popular Mexican dishes- They also have natural aguas frescas (tamarindo, Jamaica, horchata, etc)- They don’t have any seating so be prepared to eat in your car or to do takeout/pickup- We placed our order at the window and waited about 20 mins for our food- The lady who took our order was polite and helpful.- They give you one red salsa and one green salsa, the latter is not spicy at all. The red one is spicy but flavorful.Food review:- We got a carne asada sope, carne asada taco, carne asada quesadilla, pollo taco, and pollo sope- My partner got the tacos and he said they had a lot of meat and that they’re well seasoned. He does wish the meat was slightly less salty, but I think that’s true for the meat regardless of the dish.- The sopes also came with refried black beans, lettuce, sour cream and cheese. The masa was thick enough to provide a strong base, which isn’t always the case at other restaurants. The one thing I wish they would improve on the sopes is the amount of lettuce they top them with. The chicken one barely had any which left me wondering if the texture would’ve been more balanced.- The quesadilla was HUGE. I had no idea it would be long. In pictures it’s easy to be deceived, but the one I’ve attached in my review very easily stretched across my lap (and I’m not a tiny woman). Definitely make sure it consider the size when ordering, because you will likely not have room for anything else, if you manage to finish it. I couldn’t finish it because I dug into my chicken sope first. The area for improvement with the quesadilla is the amount of cheese that they put into it. I understand you can’t have a quesadilla without cheese, but they went a little overboard. I couldn’t really taste much of anything else and I wasn’t the biggest fan. I found myself removing some of the cheese to have more balanced bites. Overall, this was my least favorite item from today.- We also tried the chocolate caliente and agua de tamarindo. The chocolate seems to be water-based and has hints of masa and cinnamon, so it’s almost like a chocolate atole, but much darker and less thick. The agua de tamarindo is refreshing and perfectly smooth. You can actually tell it’s made in-house and not from some powder. The tamarind pulp isn’t present in terms of texture, but you definitely still taste it in the drink, which leads for the perfect balance.TLDR; Give them a try if you’re tired of the local Mexican food scene in the DMV. They have authentic flavors and dishes, with vegetarian inclusive dishes available too.

The food truck is a hidden gem, capturing the essence of traditional Mexican flavors that transport me back to the vibrant streets of Mexico. It's evident that the cooks take pride in their craft, as they showcase the regional diversity of Mexican cuisine.Tacos:The tacos from Xintli are the epitome of Mexican street food done right. The fillings were succulent, bursting with flavor, and cooked to perfection. Whether it was the tender carne asada, flavorful al pastor, or juicy cochinita pibil, each taco was a true delight.Salsas and Condiments:The selection of salsas and condiments offered by this food truck was outstanding. From the fiery red salsa to the tangy green salsa, each one packed a punch of authentic Mexican flavors. The pickled onions, radishes, and freshly chopped cilantro complemented the tacos beautifully, providing that perfect balance of textures and tastes.Specialty Dishes:Xintli also offers specialty dishes that showcase the regional diversity of Mexican cuisine. Each bite was reminiscent of home-cooked meals that I grew up with, making me feel a sense of nostalgia.Service and Atmosphere:The service at Xintli is friendly, welcoming, and efficient.

If you love Oaxacan food they have so many delicious things to try! Anytime I see flor de calabaza I am going to order it - and they did not disappoint everything was so tasty! Not only do they have an extensive vegetarian menu but they will accommodate your requests. Don’t forget to try the Jamaica agua fresca or the smoothie de melon! I like spicy and the salsa picante was perfect. Your meal will be so fresh and filling. Excellent service by Elsa and Erica - I am grateful to them!

Ok food. I wish they enabled the online ordering. Called in my order and got a mixup when I picked it up. Yes, I am fluent in Spanish.Stick to the tacos because they were pretty good. Red sauce is a must. The rest of other 4 dishes I ordered were underwhelming. Don't let pictures fool you. I also ordered Maracuya juice and it tastes like simple syrup with some food dye.I really wanted to like this place, but with so many other food trucks along Veirs Mill, I don't think I will be going back.
This place has amazing food, fresh ingredients and a lot of vegetarian options! The food is prepared with care and the flavors are simply delicious! Also try their horchata or fruit juices! The cups are gigantic, you can easily split it with someone and the drinks are refreshing. Not just a heap of sugar like so many other places. Lastly, great service and friendly staff.Vegetarian options: MANY veggie options and authentic dishes!Parking: Parking can be a bit tricky as they share parking space with the laundromat, but you'll always manage to find a spot.

We didn't realize this was a food truck when we went there. Their website is well written and very descriptive so that was helpful while we ordered in the car.I got the huitlecoche (fungus) tacos and my partner got pork tacos. We both felt the tacos were decent but not exceptional. My mushroom tacos were well balanced but lacked any standout flavors. The service and delivery time were mediocre. The staff was unable to answer my questions but that's ok I guess. When we placed the order using the online system as they suggested, I was told it was a 25 minute wait. However it took 45 minutes and I didn't see any other customers in that time. Furthermore, they told me 10 minutes but it was another 10 minutes on top of that and they said nothing to me as I stood in the cold. For food I'd rate it them a solid 3.7 stars. For service, a 2.5.

Xintli is a very unusual food truck, a cultural oasis. Two things: they believe in bringing indigenous, pre-Spanish Mexican cuisine to their Maryland customers, and they are committed to sustainable, ecologically clean methods and products. Also, their food is delicious.There are things on the menu you have not heard of, and many of the food names are in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, still spoken in Mexico. This is more of an experience than your usual "taco truck." Highly recommended.

For it being a foodtruck, the food tastes great! I ordered one beef tongue taco and one pastor taco. They were small, but good. Like the reviews say, they load it up with meat and the meat was delicious.Other than that, not much else to say. There was some sliced cucumber and radish over the taco with a slice of lime. The order took only 5 minutes to make.I've noticed a pattern though. High rating places usually have great food, but smaller portions and higher prices. Like this here food truck. So be weary with the stars, and just go for what you love! (I also realize I need to eat out a lot less... it's expensive, no matter where you buy?)All and all, if you don't mind the higher price for the delicious, but smaller portions, then be my guest and head on over! You'll enjoy it.In a nutshell, It's basically a gourmet-y, resteraunt-level mexican food truck!! ?
