“Great tacos from El Chilango. It’s great value for the money and made to order. Whenever in the area I try and stop by. I’ve tried a few different types of tacos from here and I stick to the steak and mixto. Additionally the onion and habanero mix that is offered on the side is nice touch. Recommend if I. The area.“

“I was in the area running an errand and wanted to find a spot to grab something quick, casual, and satisfying. Taco Bamba checked every box, especially after I spotted an Al Pastor taco on the menu, which to me is always the sign of a proper taqueria.

The menu is extensive, and I really liked that you can order tacos “clean” or “dirty.” Naturally, I went with the dirty version. I ordered the Al Pastor and the El Rico Pollo, and both were packed with flavor.

The tacos were vibrant and colorful, topped with fresh pineapple, onions, and plenty of meat. From the very first bite, I could tell this was the real deal. The portions were generous, and every bite was loaded with flavor. Honestly, they were so good I could have easily ordered more.

The tortillas had beautiful blistering from the grill, adding the perfect texture and slight char to each taco. Even the chips stood out. They were crispy, lightly salted, and tasted fresh out of the fryer.

If you’re looking for flavorful tacos in a laid-back spot, Taco Bamba is definitely worth the stop.“

“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“

“Delicious fresh homemade tasting chicken tacos. So much so I ate it 3 days in a row (and counting:-). Extreme value for quality of ingredients, recipe, and quantity.

I was hesitant to order from a food truck but seriously this is the best Mexican food I e had in Arlington (topping brick mortar restaurants).“

“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“

“Amazing place for tacos and some mexican food. I love love how the tacos are larger than most places. I got the lunch special, which comes with rice and beans and two tacos that are plenty enough to make you full. The carne asada was the perfect choice (I think it is carne asada but correct me if it is al pastor). I later got this $9 breakfast burrito- very good at good value.“

“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.“
