50 Best Taco Restaurants near Falls Church

“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.“

“Popped in for lunch after reading the great reviews and was so glad we did. Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Don’t let the location (small strip mall with tight parking) dissuade you! Definitely worth going out of your way. We’ll be back for sure!“

“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!“

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

“I recently visited Oliva’s Kitchen Food & Fusion in Bethesda, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. It’s a small, locally owned spot that you might miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s definitely worth finding.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying without being overly heavy. The ingredients tasted high quality, and everything was well-balanced. And honestly—one thing that really stood out—they actually know how to wrap a burrito. That’s surprisingly hard to find on the East Coast, and it made the whole experience even better (no falling apart halfway through!).

What stood out most is how this place blends comfort food with a unique fusion twist. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food.

If you’re in Bethesda and want to support a small business while trying something different from the usual spots, I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“We were hanging out in Georgetown with our guests from out of town and we were looking for a place to eat lunch. We are all vegetarians and upon seeing good rating of this small restaurant, we decided to give it a try and we are so very glad we did. It's a hidden gem with delicious and healthy food with all vegetarian choices. The food was not only fresh, perfect temperature, and tasty but they had things on their menu that you don't find at a normal mexican joint.“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!“

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

“Fast, fresh and delicious

Really good food at a great price is hard to find, everything seemed made in house down to the chips.
I tried a huarache for the first time and was blown away.
Everything came out really fast, the menu is small but precise, my wife had the vegi option and really enjoyed it, would 100% recommend it to anyone.“

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

“The food is great and the staff are friendly. Of course I ordered the fish/shrimp tacos due to the name of the restaurant. Shrimp was amazing, literally all the flavors were amazing, but something was missing on the fish that I couldn't place. Added lime and salsa and it still hit the spot.“

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

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Our first visit. Won’t be our last. Good to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. Rice and beans could have been warmer. Music just a tad loud. Difficult to have a conversation. Still will go back. Mushroom and Pork Belly tacos were delish.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Came for brunch. The Pupusas Benedict was a hit. Rounded it up with black beans and chips & guac and had a feast. Very nice staff. Maybe the parking was a bit challenging (luckily I got the last spot in front of restaurant), but maybe there is another lot nearby.“

“Taco Ssam is great!!! Happy hour from 4-8 every day,(no one does that) , Food is authentic mexican style ,with some korean infused dishes. I recommend the Quesadillas as they are stuffed with meat unlike other places. If you are into Bourbon or Tequila, their is a huge selection not just the same old stuff everyone else has. Waitresses are very friendly. 10/10“

“I love all the service team at El Bebe! They had the best Valentine’s Day menu set. The wait staff is so nice, I have a young baby and they literally are watching her grow up it’s the cutest. Emma is also first class customer service. She remembers your orders, has an eye on the timeline and always has a smile. My family goes back pretty much for her. Anyway great location, great service, biria taco is amazing.“

“By far a favorite lunch spot among the Jubilee Jobs staff!!“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“I have always loved this place. Didn't realize I never left a review. Just had the Tacos Tacos tonight with a Tamarindo. The chicken was deliciously seasoned and so perfectly tender and moist. The handmade tortillas were just fluffy, light pillows. The veggies were delicious with their homemade salsa. And the wait staff are the most lovely, perfect gentlemen. Do not pass go. Eat here today!!“
