“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⭐️“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“After moving from Florida I have been tirelessly searching for a good taco place in Maryland. I was so happy to find Tacos A La Madre! When you go inside it is very under decorated, but clean and they have a good sense of branding with their black and yellow color scheme. The tacos are amazing, flavorful, and consistent every time I go. The ingredients taste fresh. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the shrimp tacos and the birria tacos! 🌮 This is our new go-to taco place. You have to go- you won’t be disappointed.“

“First time trying them, I got the chorizo breakfast burrito. Overall could tell they use fresh ingredients and most of the burrito was very good. The Chorizo however was very very salty. Will definitely try them again, just something different next time.“

“The food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the people were incredible. They wanted our dining experience to be enjoyable“

“This is a little cozy spot. Seems like there are local regulars here and it's family run. So I knew the food wouldn't disappoint and it sure didn't. The food here tastes very homemade and clean without compromising on taste.

Soft Chicken Tacos (8/10) - From the very first bite I knew it was fresh and everything tasted spot on. The rice and beans were decent too.

Chimichanga (9.5/10) - This was probably the best thing I've had here. It's perfectly delicious, wasn't overly greasy and heavy. It was perfect. This one might be the go to for most people.

Patron Platter (9/10) - This dish was also spot on, but the pork tamale 🫔 was just what it needed to be a complete dish. A great option if you're feeling a variety of food.

Tres Leches (8/10) - While this wasn't the best I've had, it by no means disappointed. The cake was good but more importantly it was sweetened perfectly. I've been to too many spots that over do it, so it was nice to find a spot that gets it right for a change. I recommend this one for dessert.“

“Good service, great food!“

“Very tasty food, pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. Will come back,“

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“I kid you not when I say that this is one of the top ten Mexican restaurants of ALL TIME. Im pretty critical of food but I could not find a single thing wrong with the cuisine. I think I had an outer body experience by the time i finished my quesadilla. I would 112% go out of my way just to come here. If you ever need Mexican food in the college park area, look no further than here.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Very nice 👍 and delicious“

“Highly recommend! The food was to die for and the service was great! No wait time and everything was decently priced! My favorite was the aguachiles especial with salsa negra. The tuna and shrimp was also soo good. Tuna taste fresh and they have so many different hot sauces to compliment the dishes. The fish taco was crunchy but fresh at the same time and the beef taco was wrapped in a cheese filling - wow! Cannot wait to come back! I didn’t try any drinks but will be back soon!“

“Fui almorzar y me pedí una fajita de carne y estaba muy buena, la recomendo.“

“When I want a burrito, I dont go to Chipotle or District Taco. I come here! The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The young lady at the front is always kind and accommodating. The fresh fruit juices are delicious. What more can you ask for!
I always get the steak burrito with shrimp!!! Always will recommend!“

“Like six years ago, this place used to be a Carne Asada grill. They had the best Carne Asada you could imagine with a lot of fat on the meat. Now it’s a burrito place, which is still very good! I am wondering, what happened to the old owner? Is it the same ownership?“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“Massive props to this entire restaurant. Amazing staff, superb service, it's clean and efficient!! Food is amazing, served warm, fresh, and delicious!!

“This is the best Cafe Rio I've been to in the DMV. One complaint: they're not located closer to my house! The folks behind the counter were nice and cheerful. The food was excellent as always. Great portions and fresh. I'll be going to Cafe Rio for years to come!“

“Habanero’s is between the College Park Metro stop and campus. We saw it, evoked memories of one in Arizona with same name. We ordered Chicken Tinga Tacos, Chicken Taco, Beef Taco along with a Beef Tounge Taco along with Guacamole & Chips. Food was good, flavors top notch, service efficient and pleasant. Only observation was the portion of Guacamole was ‘light’ for $8.00. If back in College Park would return.“

“Some days ago I meet Nanci a worker of this place then I went to the place and I ordered a marañon juice and also some food, the juice was so good since that, always stop for some juice and the Birria pupusas they’re so good too I recommend this place 10/10“

“La comida mexicana el ambiente y la atención 👌👌👌😉😉“

“No muy bien siempre. Me gusta comer allí pero. Cuando ordeno para llevar siempre pido mis tacos sin sebolla y sin silantro. Y siempre me le ponen. Y. No entiendo porque si claramente digo sin sebolla. Ni silantro. eso me molesta porque mis hijos no los comen y solo se echan aperder deberían de. Ser más atentos ala orden. Que uno ase“

“Experience is awesome… please share the details and go have a taco“

“Been here a couple times. Waitstaff always super friendly and attentive. Large selection of food items that include the standard of what you'd expect from a Tex/Mex place. Menu also has some Salvadoran specialties that I've enjoyed each time.There isn't a lot of cost put into the atmosphere and fixtures of the restaurant, but if you are looking for some good food and service, this place is very consistent and remains one of my gotos.“

“Been my new favorite spot last few months. The Carne Asada or Chorizo taco VERY GOOD. And very well priced.“
