50 Best Taco Restaurants near Annandale

“Dining here was a mixed bag. First, I expected more fusion. It's not really a fusion restaurant. You can order tex-mex OR you can order Korean but the only real fusion on the menu is two taco choices or one meal.

I went with the tacos. They were fairly bland. Nothing made me overly excited to have ordered them.

Now what I loved was the ambient temperature. I HATE how no matter how hot it is outside I have to carry a jacket with me because it's always freezing cold inside in America. That wasn't the case here. I had my jacket with me but I never needed it. It was a nice comfortable temperature inside.

The restroom was clean.

The interior design is 100% Dia de los Muertos, no Korean fusion in the art but it was still cool.

The bar looked well stocked. I bet it's a fun place to have a drink with friends.

The service was okay.“

“Excelente atención al cliente, la comida exquisita 👌 100% recomendado, nos atendió la sra Eneyda 💛“

“We really enjoyed our meal at Chaia. The nachos were definitely the standout. My kids got small quesadillas and we tried a mushroom taco too which was great, but the nachos with all of the toppings were such a treat. Would love to come back! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-30“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“Taco Bamba was playing some rocking music when we ordered our Tacos on a great fall day. The portions are reasonable and not huge. Flavor instead of large size, with several tasty dressings you choose yourself, after preparation. The quesadillas with carne asada were packed with flavor and quality sear.“

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“Kinda pricey for the jerk chicken taco 🌮. one for $4.50“

“Visiting from Birmingham, this was some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever had. It was very affordable and delicious.“

“I enjoyed 3 tacos al pastor. I like that the taco meat wasnt spicy in itself and was given a side of hot as an option. I think a menu price would be great.. small limited menu I dont think they offer drinks (there’s a 7 eleven right up the street) but overall pretty good no frills spot & will definitely go again next time I am in that area“

“Open late and everything tasted so fresh and authentic! We were looking for something to eat late on a Sunday night and a friend recommended Picamas since they lived nearby. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was so good. The tortilla was really soft and the chicken was so flavorful and went really well with the rice and veggies in the burrito. The owner was so friendly and they really made an effort to prepare our meal for us. Overall great food and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Muy buen servicio, amabilidad y la comida muy picante y rica!!!“

“All but one taco is spicy. They're relying on the hot sauce to make food taste good. The staff wasn't very friendly. The location is convenient. I wouldn't go back since the menu is too limited for me. I have tried most things on the menu and they were fine. But really, please offer more items that aren't spicy.“

“We were eating so fast we forgot to take pics until halfway through, and by then we were done with all the tacos haha! We ordered a chicken quesadilla, and then a pork taco and two beef tacos. Everything was so yummy! Even the sauces and guacamole were delicious! Definitely recommend! The only thing is that this little intersection is super busy so there’s not much parking.“

“Wings are really really solid! Nothing super special but nothing negative to say. Just some really solid ole fashioned buffalo wings and fries well fried and good sauce. Also another review mentioned they received no ranch or ketchup but I did receive both. Wings and fries are 5x better than the more expensive ones right across the street at Wonder“

“Great food, nice atmosphere.“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“I spent a couple hours here because my flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Cosmos were perfectly pink. (If they’re clear and red they’re not made correctly) and only $6 during Happy Hour. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, Cosmos I ordered the Bora Bora marinated chicken without the tortilla over rice. It was delicious! The chicken was so tender and tasty and all the flavors were wonderful. I also enjoyed watching the surfers on TV,. The waves relaxed me instead being stressed out over a delayed flight. Definitely recommend this place for its casual atmosphere and good food. Even if you don’t like Mexican!“

“Ordered Mexican chicken tacos; the food came promptly, the food tasted excellent! Shelly the server was the nicest, she spoke in a very polite manner & at the end of my meal, she asked how I liked it - my response was the food tastes excellent! The cook in the back with the apron and hair net had the lousiest of attitudes, seemed like a grouch - if you’re reading this, lighten up, life is to too short to be disgusted with everything! Thanks Shelley! •ValT“

“Bandit Taco is a hidden gem that delivers on every level. The service is friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The menu is unique and flavorful, with a great variety of options that feel fresh and thoughtfully crafted. Every dish is satisfying and well balanced, making it hard to choose just one favorite. The ambience is relaxed and inviting, and the charming little aesthetic adds so much personality to the space. Bandit Taco is the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to again and again.“

“Great staff, great owners, great food! Hands down, this will be our go to spot! Their food prices are fair, and the happy hr prices are the best in the DMV as well! A friend an I went to this location for the first time, and we loved it. Definitely recommend!“

“Service was outstanding and the food was exceptional.“

“Amazing tacos! Jesus is so happy and friendly! It seems he finds pure joy in making and serving these excellent tacos. Highly recommend. Bring cash and your appetite and you won't be disappointed. The lengua is so tender, pork is delicious....they are all great!“

“I enjoyed dining at this pupuseria. It was the first time I had been back since it was called the Magic Skillet years ago. Luckily, the restaurant still has all of breakfast menu items from back in the day Plus some classic Latin dishes. My friend ordered the traditional southwest omelet. I ordered a chicken pupusa, a tamal and a taco Al pastor. The pupusa was a 5/5. It was amazing! The tamal and taco were good, 4/5. My friend loved his menu choice. Prices are very fair as well. We’ll definitely be back.“

“This was my second time here, and I am even more impressed this time! The service is very friendly and they cook everything to order so it's nice and fresh. The birria queso tacos are some of the best I have ever had (the consume is so good I literally sip on whatever is leftover!) And the lengua...omg the lengua! Tender, bursting with flavor, def some of the best I have ever had! The salsa Roja has good flavor and a nice kick to it (on the level of Diablo Sauce from Taco Bell). I overheard them say business is slow because of the weather, so do yourselves and them a favor and show them some love! They accept cash and cards, and there isn't any online ordering but you can call in your order.“

“We love Fish Taco's fish burritos and tacos. Their burritos are tasty and filling.“

“Carne asada tacos were great. Ribeye tacos 🌮 were bomb“

“My son and I stopped in while we were Christmas shopping and found the food EXCELLENT! My son ordered a combination of lamb and beef swcharma burrito, with Jalapeno hummus, onion, corn. lettuce, and mango salsa. The buritto was large enough for my son and I to share and the french fries were perfect.
The fries were hot with the perfect amount of salt and the Schwarma sauce was perfect for both the burrito and dipping the fries in. We will definately return if not to the Springfield Mall location (where we ate) we'll go to the location in Potomac Mills Mall. Again EXCELLANT and at a reasonble price.“

“The food was fantastic, service was also fantastic. Would recommend this great place to anyone! Thank you, and you will be seeing me again!“

“Last night was my husband’s and my first time dining here, and it truly left an impression. One of the first things we loved was the restaurant’s commitment to giving back to the community. As soon as you walk in, there’s a sign explaining how meals are donated to local women’s shelters and how guests and staff can pay it forward by purchasing meals for those in need. Anyone facing a tough time can simply take a ticket from the wall for a prepaid meal such a thoughtful and meaningful concept.

Our server was absolutely phenomenal (I wish I remembered her name! -- She had long red wavy hair). She took the time to walk us through the menu, shared her personal favorites, and recommended several must-try tacos. Let me just say… she did not miss!

Every single bite was bursting with flavor. We tried the birria, Havana, Rus & Gus, and Peruvian chicken tacos, along with the street corn salad and veggies on the side and everything was incredible. From the food to the service to the heart behind the restaurant, this place checks all the boxes.

Safe to say we’ve found a new favorite spot and will absolutely be back.“

“Amazing food and amazing service! Loved the Jalapeno Margarita.. was fab. Ordered the queso and chicken fajitas and good quantity order just the sulfur for 2 and was quite enough. And trees the free chips and salsa were outstanding as well. Smiling waitress's loved the experience!“

“Just tried Charlies Bowl and we'll definitely be repeat customers. Ordered the 10 taco meal (chicken, pork, chorizo) and they were all delicious. The Latin Sandwich we split as well was amazing. I hope the kitchen stays open in Vienna.“

“A well kept secret in the city. It is a restaurant without much pretension, which offers good quality Mexican food with careful service. The space is small, so it is ideal to go as a couple or in small groups. The price-quality ratio is good.“

“The best tacos I have ever eaten in the US! (And I travel for a living)“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“Visiting from Birmingham, this was some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever had. It was very affordable and delicious.“

“Saw the feature in CBS Saturday Morning show while traveling and was going to be near there later that same evening so was able to indulge. Delicious, quality food at very reasonable prices. The roast pork was perfect!“

“Great torta, fast friendly service. Catch em!!“

“Tasty tacos from nice folks. Definitely staying in the rotation 😋“

“This is my "hands-down" go to in DC! It makes Chipotle look (and taste) like dog food. From their amazing, yet simple, menu of FRESHLY made food, to their exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Sol 👌“

“Great brunch options and cocktails!“

“Outstanding food!,drinks, very fresh, and very friendly staff!. I highly recommend it“

“I stopped by yesterday to purchase some tacos, I got a mix of them. These are the best tacos I’ve gotten, they were juicy and it was a good amount of protein. I also like the cleanliness of the work station as well as the store.
The service of the server Senia was excellent.
I would definitely go back to this District Taco often.“

“Sapodillas in SE DC delivered a meal that felt like a celebration on a plate. Every dish came out vibrant and full of flavor, and the presentation had that quiet elegance that makes you pause before diving in. The service matched the food—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Samantha, the owner, was especially delightful. She moved through the dining room with an easy brightness, checking in on guests as if hosting a dinner party in her own home. Sapodillas is truly a standout in the DMV and absolutely worth the visit. Try everything but don’t miss the Oxtails and the Dulce De Leche Pancakes.“
