“Let me tell you. This Taco Bell is my home base. My rock. My reliable ex with the good good. Because it’s always open late, and it always bangs.

In all seriousness I have never had anything wrong with an order here. I have come through that driveway more than a handful of times at 1 and 2 am car full of people hungry as hell.

And no matter how obnoxious or annoyingly long our order the staff has treated us with kindness and respect. It’s the kind of fast food experience you dream about.

I LOVE these guys and gals and 100% gotta give late night their props. You are AWESOME.“

“Best birria tacos ever! Make sure you get the sides, rice, beans, esquiotes (elotes in a bowl). It was so good we got food to go to eat tomorrow. We live 60 miles away and unanimously agreed to come back here just for the food. They are getting a liquor license and will start serving drinks next week. I can't wait to return. Additional bonus, the staff was awesome, friendly, helpful, hospitable and the food came out quickly.“

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

“The BEST Mexican food truck in the area! It is super authentic and always fresh. The food is amazing but in particular they’re made to order tamales. You have to contact the owners wife and get a minimum of 12 either chicken, pork, or rajas but trust me it’s worth it!“

“Great food, service and price!“

“This restaurant has the best Mexican food in Northern Virginia. The staff is outstanding. We go there almost every week.“

“Really good stuff here. Well worth the price. Birria and Chorizo tacos. Fast service. Awesome decor.“

“Wow! What an Amazing Experience!!!! From the food to our Spectacular Waiter and the warm and welcoming atmosphere that enhanced the entire experience. I'll start off with this; Our waiter, Ron(Ronald) Was an absolute Superstar!! This experience would have been a 7/10 without him but he just blew our socks off with tending to our needs and he went above and beyond giving great conversation and recommendations. What an Amazing staff and team at this Chuy's location. The Manager on staff, Will, was also very welcoming and a good host. He trained Ron and that is how all staff SHOULD be trained. Speaking of staff, whoever was back in that kitchen had to have been a Michelin Star chef because all the food was fresh, extra flavorful and the perfect balance of presentation and flavor. Overall 13/10 experience, though it might be a bit dramatic, It really did make a perfect example of what a restaurant SHOULD be. A MUST try for yourself, Thank you Ron and the team!! :)“

“We had the perfect trio! Steak nachos for an appetizer, enchiladas verdez and malcajete for the win! Margaritas of all varieties are on point!“

“Fantastic food! Wow! Calamari was so fresh, lightly crispy and the sauce with it was amazing. I’m really impressed.“

“The best Latino food in town !!!“

“Food was good but they cheap with sauce. You bought 1 order of 1/2chicken w/2sides you get the same amount of sauce for 4 orders of 1/2 chicken. This is in Bowie Md location. I guess I am not coming back there again.“

“Muy buena comida muy bien a tendida“

“Muy deliciosa! Don't be intimidated by the facade. The blacked out windows belie the bright, festive decor inside. We got a mix of street tacos that contained twice the meat compared to street tacos in comparable restaurants in the area. The hostess/waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant and bathrooms were spotless. We will definitely be back!“

“A go-to place for a tasty New Mexico style breakfast or dinner, Anita's in Burke, one of several branches of the local chain, is convenient to where relatives live, so we often have meals there. The food is very good and the service is usually outstanding, expeditious but not hurried, making meals a pleasure. All of the extensive breakfast menu items we have tried, including New Mexico style and standard American, have been good as have most of the lunch and dinner items. Those of us who like spicy are rarely disappointed, but one can order milder versions of most items Given that prices re moderate, Anita's in Burk is strongly recommended, especially for breakfast.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Very good and friendly swevers.“

“I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing!“

“Great food. The service was quick And our waiter was amazing.“

“I've lived in the area for 6 years and have seen this taco truck but never got food here before until this year. My sister was looking for a good taco place and I recommended this taco truck and they ordered some. It was delicious. Since then I've been going here for my taco cravings. The al pastor and queso birria tacos are delicious. The portions are perfect and leaves you feeling satisfied! I've found my new taco place for authentic tacos!“

“Comida exquisita ,, Me Encanto“

“Erica - has been here for 19yrs !!“

“I purchased almost everything on their menu, my family and I have tried their tacos de carne asada and pollo, torta de carne asada, and their quesadilla de birria. I have no complaints on the tacos or tortas. They tasted amazing. Their birria is a little saltier than I would want it to be. Their side of consome and rice is so delicious. I wouldn't mind going again just for tacos and tortas. I cant wait to try their steak and cheese subs. I'm looking forward to trying that next. I spent almost $50 wiht 2 quesdillas de birria, 3 tacos de carne asada, 3 de pollo, a torta de asada and a sidral. For that much food no complaints“

“Would love to give 5-stars for the service and support tomorrow Veterans. Unfortunately their food is very iffy form day to day. We are at least weekly patrons but have adjusted our orders due to the inconsistent food preparation (specifically how spicy the sauces are).“

“Me gusta, muy buena atencion, lugar comodo y aseado. aun me falta provar todo el menú, compré pupusas están buenas, aunq aun pueden mejorar..“

“My sister is obsessed with all the animals like the flamingos and the giraffe, lol. The food came in about 10 minutes, and it was so good! I highly recommend this restaurant! ?“

“best breakfast burritos in the world“

“Went in for lunch today. First the place was very clean. No greasy floors or tables. Even the salsa bar was clean!

Ordered flautas and a torta. Both were delicious. Flautas perfectly crispy, beans were really good. Great presentation and a very good portion. My friend loved her sandwich as well. Sauces were varied in spice level so something for everyone.

Great service! Would definitely go back.“

“Good eats, reminds me of UMBC days @bj“

“Very friendly waiter and good food 🙂“

“Mi plato favorito, Jambalaya! Muy bueno!“

“By far my favorite Sushi place!“

“Karaoke bar every Thursday to Sunday from 8 pm to 2 am“

“Big plate of good food for a reasonable price“

“As a South Texan transplant in the DC area, District Taco was the end of a years-long search for a PROPER breakfast taco. It tastes like home, the salsa is pure joy and the staff are always nice and expedient.

Do I hate having to drive 30 mins to find breakfast tacos? Yes. But the heart wants what the heart wants; it's worth it.“

“Awesome authentic Mexican food truck! One of my favorite go to places in Woodbridge! My wife and kids request at least once a week. Some times multiple times in a week. Its a must do if you're in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. Check them out!“

“My husband and I are visiting the area but I grew up in Virginia so we are familiar with the area. We were looking for a Peruvian chicken experience. We found a delicious diverse menu full of Peruvian specialties at a super affordable price!

The waitstaff are extremely friendly and helpful. On the day of our visit there was a young lady preparing fresh fruit cups in front of restaurant.

Our purchase was 2 orders of El Tipico, 1 loroco pupusa, 1 ayote pupusa, half of a roasted chicken (for the drive home) and a 16oz fresh pink guava juice as well as a sweet fruity cashew drink called Maranon. We also snagged a watermelon cup on our way out.

The restaurant wasn’t very busy so I hope more people will visit and keep them in business. Our entire purchase was less than $60 which is unheard of in Northern Virginia. Definitely worth the visit! 👍👍“

“This place making a killing! The rice is not Mexican it taste peruvian....Peruvian..... but the rest they nailed it I thought it was knocked down . But I was told they moved across the street. from route 1 widening. But the rice does not taste Mexican everything else was great!!“

“Very friendly. Their front office door is the first door on the left when you enter their complex. It is cash only. You can order the day before as long as it's before 2 p.m. and your order will be ready the next day for pickup. I didn't know this but showed up the morning of to buy some masa and they were able to help me out.“

“Stopped by to pickup a quick dinner after a long day and did not anticipate the quality of the good we got for the moderate price. Everything was prepared fresh and was delicious! Of course, we got pupusas (that's why we went there) and enchiladas and they did NOT miss. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back again.“

“Best authentic Mexican around! I usually go for the Quesabirria. Its a hit every time! These other reviews saying that the service is garbage have got to be spineless people who were rude from the start. Been here more then ten time and have yet to have a bad experience! Keep up the good work!“

“This place RULES. Their quesadillas are amazing and probably the best in all of NOVA.“

“I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing!“

“I tend to get food here weekly and it’s always a joy to see the same gentleman who always serves me. That being, Freddy. He’s efficient, charismatic, patient, and I wouldn’t even want to get food here if not for seeing him every time. Super cool guy, and he supplies great service.“

“One needs to figure this place out and then it would be great. We went for lunch and it was a good price. Bulgogi burrito is fusion and is really good. If you order traditional Mexican ask for a side of their very good house made sriracha -->instant fusion. Someone else’s fajitas also looked good. All food comes out hot. Decor is very nice. Servers were very nice. The only problem was how long it took to get a takeout order (was told 15 mins it took 40 and there were only three other people in the place). Next time, I will plan ahead and order as we drive and give the kitchen a 10 minute head start. Worth planning ahead for the burrito!“

“I can confidently say Tacos El Costalilla has the BEST tacos in Woodbridge. Everything about this place is amazing. The service is always so friendly and the food comes out super fast, which I love.

They also have a self-serve topping bar, so you can load up your tacos exactly how you like them. I got the carne tacos and they were SO good, especially with a fresh piña juice on the side. You can really taste that all the drinks are made fresh.

My friend ordered the al pastor tacos and honestly… she said they were even better than the carne 😭 she also got the horchata and loved it.

I also tried a cheese pupusa and it was SO good. This is honestly the first place I’ve tried in the area that has both amazing tacos AND pupusas done right.

And to top it all off, I got a churro at the end (yes I was being big back 😂) and the lady made it fresh for me without me even having to ask. That alone made the experience even better.

I seriously love this place and will keep coming back. If you’re in Woodbridge and want real, flavorful tacos, you NEED to try it.“

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

“I love this place and always order yuca Frita with chicharrónes to start great good and customer service is always great thank you.“
