I had an amazing time here. Had the nachos, empanadas, and ropa taco. The waiter was polite, and the food was amazing! Came on Halloween and the place was packed with people, and I could see why! I give this an absolute 10. 👏

If you like tacos and tequila you have to try this place! The tacos are delicious and the tequila selection is ample. They have tequilas tasting so good you want to sip them slowly, or try one of their amazing tequila based cocktails.

Amazing tacos! Top 5 best tacos in the DMV. Try out the Forest Gump Bubba Shrimp and the Land and Sea. Location is small and not great for large groups. Difficult to seat over 6 people.

Food tastes stale and not fresh at all. Atmosphere feels grimy

Awesome service - the tacos LOOK smal, but they come with a ton of meat. Great spot!

Great food and drinks for happy hour and dinner. The steak empanadas were delicious and service was excellent.
I'm not even really a Mexican food fan, but I really enjoyed my meal. Great happy hour prices. Had a yummy margarita and the guac, which was a little pricey, was a huge portion (to me!). It was boyfriend's birthday dinner and he loved it. He ended up with five tacos!

I don’t make it out to Alexandria too often, but since it was a halfway point between a friend and me, it worked out perfectly. We chose Don Taco—because really, you can’t go wrong with chips, salsa, and drinks for a quick happy hour. The salsa had a great smoky kick, and the empanada I ordered was flavorful and satisfying. My friend’s taco looked solid too. Overall, it made for a great evening! We ended up staying for almost two hours. If the weather’s nice, I highly recommend grabbing a table outside. It’s perfect for people-watching—and the constant stream of dogs passing by only adds to the charm. Service started off strong—the staff was attentive and quick to check in. Toward the end of our visit, it did take a bit longer for someone to swing by, though to be fair, we were deep in conversation and had kept assuring them we were okay.

My son-in-law and I stopped at Don Taco on King Street for a late-night meal and were completely satisfied with our first experience. We chose Don Taco because of its reputation as one of the best-rated taco bars in Old Town Alexandria, and it truly lived up to the hype. Visiting on a Monday evening turned out perfect—no wait times and plenty of seating. We could have enjoyed the patio or the upstairs dining, but we opted for a cozy booth near the bar so we could catch the Monday night game on the widescreen TVs. The ambience was modern, laid-back, and very comfortable. The service was excellent—our server was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable, even offering great recommendations from the menu. We started with the Bira Empanadas, chicken filled with jalapeño chimichurri sauce, which were delicious and had just the right amount of spice. The $5 taco selection is impressive! We tried the Chili Salmon Taco, Dilly Dilly (beer-battered grouper) Taco, Fried Avacado Taco and Bulgogi tacos—all packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. My son-in-law ordered the Taco Trio with yellow rice and beans, which was a generous portion and more than enough to satisfy. Every dish was outstanding, and the tapas-style portions made it fun to sample and share. We left completely satisfied and are already planning to return with our wives—we know they’ll love Don Taco just as much. Highly recommend Don Taco for anyone looking for a quality taco experience, excellent service, and a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere in Old Town.
