20 Best Taco Restaurants near Oakton

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

“Huge shoutout to Tyreke and Maya at the DC Wharf location. Both of them recommended the glazed pork belly taco and bowl. Let me just say they deserve a promotion! The pork belly was the best tasting food I’ve ever had. Holy cow thank you both of you for that recommendation. Also, an additional shoutout to Tyreke for the churro selection for us off the dessert menu. I mean this has been the best meal we have had since being in DC! Thanks again for the recommendations and hope to see you in Indiana when you open one in our town 👊🏻👊🏻“

“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.“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“Loved it enough to go back the next day to try another dish. Really enjoyed blackened fish taco plate and then the salmon taco plate the next day. Also had the ceviche. It was flavorful and I enjoyed it. I was recently spoiled having ceviche in Ecuador...and Ecuadorean ceviche wins in a head to head.“

“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.“

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

“Great food, nice atmosphere.“

“I am a fan of San Ramons, the spicy salsa is perfect...its spicy, the green salsa tastes fresh and the their house salsa is really good too. The tortillas are maize! Corn. Which is the way. Como en casa, gracias! The staff is very cool too. And the ambiance is cool, southern Cali vibes. I'll be back soon for sure.“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere“

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

“Edit 10/26/25
Had dinner for a school fundraiser last week. We ordered tacos, flautas and a quesadilla. Everything was really good, 5 stars!

Second time ordering and will likely not give this place another try. Terribly heavy on the salt and also, who doesn't serve tacos with extra limes on the side? If it's worth anything the chicken flautas were decent.“

“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.“
