The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

Their veg rice bowl is tasty and customizable with lots of fresh toppings, and the guacamole adds a great creamy boost to every bite. A solid casual spot for Mexican-inspired eats with good portion sizes and vibrant flavors.“

“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.“

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

“This is one of my favorite spots here in Maryland, The burritos are always delicious and the horchata matcha is a must-try!

The staff are super friendly and I especially want to shout out Jailin , who handles orders. Her attention to detail and attentiveness are amazing. She keeps things moving quickly and always makes sure everyone gets their order right. She’s always on point. Great food and great service every time.“

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

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

“Man listen I stop here on the way home because i love tres leches theirs look good on line, but the food was amazing, 2hen i say amazing amzing, i had umi n rockville last night lovsters all that, way better,n the manager i think she was i think she was tall pretty smile was nice tall and beautiful😍, oh n they had hard tacos pause“

“If you’re thinking about trying the birria at Taqueria Guadalajara, just do it , it truly lives up to the hype. The tacos de birria and the birria torta con consomé are definitely the stars of the show. The tacos are big, packed with tender, flavorful meat, and perfect for dipping in the rich consomé. Every bite is full of flavor.
And the torta… ni hablar. It absolutely stands up to its reputation as a super torta huge, jugosa, and loaded with delicious birria. It’s one of those sandwiches that’s messy in the best way because it’s so full and juicy.
Yes, it was busy when we went, but it was 100% worth the wait. La comida está riquísima, the portions are generous, and you can see why this place is so popular.
Definitely coming back for more and to try other dishes on the menu. 🌮🔥“

“Good service, great food!“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Nice little restaurant with decent Mexican food. Soda choices are all canned it bottles. Noisy environment. Parking is about a block away. My tacos were pretty good. My companions were not happy with their veggie fajita and the meat fajitas only came with the meats, shrimp, beef and chicken. No choice if a single meat. Seating is uncomfortable so don't plan to stay for long.“

“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 😍“

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

“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!“

“Loving the quesadillas, guacamole and tacos so far. The crispy shrimp tacos were my fav.“

“I went to dine on Friday at 7 PM, I was attended by a very friendly girl. She greeted me with a smile, she served my food with kindness, I often visit that store. But not everyone serves my food with kindness, they walk with bitter faces. They should all be kind. Thank you, Lili!“

“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“

“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.“
