“I just noticed Taqueria San Martin [colorful truck] was there today & tried it out : one taco al pastor & one torta with steak fajitas for later [they were out of carnitas]. both were great & had plus size large portions. the salsa verde was just on the tolerable side of hot and the roja was just on the other. perfect. service was pleasant, food was fresh, tummy feels good & you can call ahead for pick up.“

“We ate at the Mechanicsville location on our way home from out of state. I always order a chimichanga every time I have Mexican, which is often. I ordered one today with ground beef. When it was brought out to me it looked like a taquito ( a 1/3 of the size). A manager came over and was not happy when I told him that. He said that was their normal size chimi’s. To top it all off when I took my first bite It was shredded beef instead of ground beef. I put do NOT RECOMMEND and do not know what happened and now I cannot change it!!!!!!’“

“A nice restaurant with good food and service. The steak and chorizo tacos were very good!“

“We recently placed a catering order from Tacos Mexico, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The tacos were incredible—full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and truly authentic Mexican tacos. You can immediately tell the difference in quality compared to many other places. I’ve tried tacos from a wide range of restaurants, and this spot easily ranks as one of the best I’ve had.

Everything tasted fresh and homemade, which really stood out. The ingredients were well-balanced, the meats were cooked perfectly, and the toppings complemented each taco without overpowering it. It’s clear that they take pride in making everything in-house, and that attention to detail makes a huge difference.

Another big plus is the pricing. For the level of quality, portion sizes, and overall experience, the value is excellent. Catering orders can sometimes be hit or miss, but this one exceeded expectations in every way.

If you’re looking for real, authentic Mexican food that delivers on both taste and value, I would definitely recommend Tacos Mexico. We’ll absolutely be ordering from them again in the future!“

Brandon is the best, if you need someone to take care of you ask for him! Extremely smart, funny, remembers everything, makes the best beer/margaritas.

Also there soda has like perfect syrup ratio, not sure what they use, but I find myself craving a DonPedro2 Dr.Pepper all the time.

A special thank you to Haley, who was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, attentive, efficient, and genuinely made our first visit even more enjoyable. Amazing food, amazing service, and such a lovely experience. We will definitely be back! ❤🌮

Thank you Haley!!! :)“

“I was craving papusas and so glad I stopped in. I got my food to go, their rice and beans were delicious! The papusas were the star of the show but I did love the carne asada tacos. My son also got French fries 🤣❤ everything was delicious. Fast and friendly service, great prices.“

“We were planning to go to the more popular place across the street but they had no public restrooms. Neither did a lot of other local business, but thank goodness we walked into this friendly establishment!! We decided to stay and eat. This service was quick and direct. The food was to die for. It was seriously so good and they serve much food for the price. We left very happy.“

“Tacos de lengua, son los mejores y la calidad está muy buena.“

“Me gusta la comida la música y todo … solo faltan cervezas en el menú . Muy buen ambiente“

“Awesome papusas. I will definitely be coming back.“

“We've been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food. Its your typical Mexican food but they do it pretty well. The service is always good. The Margaritas are on point. The only negative thing I can say is that they have a ridiculous charge for using your debit or credit card there. Don't charge me for trying to pay for my meal....“

“Mi primera vez ordené una agua de jamaica estaba súper fría y deliciosa y una empanada de chirizo que estaba grandísima y riquísima. Recomiendo este restaurante 💯 ❤️“

“Moving from the west coast I was worried I wouldn’t find good Mexican restaurants. Thank god I found this gem! They smoke their meats fresh everyday and it’s amazing! Pastor, asada and chicken are all absolutely delicious! Highly recommended! Staff are great, environment is authentic and welcoming! If you’re looking for a great meal stop in and try it!“

“We just tried your food we are from Ohio I was wonderful and worth the money we will be back before we go home“

“I love this place at one point because of the drinks they do make cute drinks they use to be good but I had to get a extra shot to put in my drink they charge a 20% gratuity now I don't mind paying a tip I always do but when service is not good I hate it and 20% at that when the service was not worth it the food is good but the gratuity threw me off thats the only down fall to me now for great service i would have no problem paying that“

“Run don’t walk! Best tacos on Jeff Davis! Highly recommend! The man that operates the truck when he’s there the salsa verde is fabulous!!!“

“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.“

“Me gusta todo lo ke ay los medicamentos las cosas esta ermosas la comida“

“Chicarrones ! Sí por favór“

“ALL THE STARS!!! Every time we visit Dollar Tree we are tempted by the aroma from their smoker, and today we heard beautiful, live music and had to step in. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!! The service was excellent despite my poor Spanish speaking skills, and the singer had a powerful and tremendous voice. We cannot wait to visit again!!!“

“I decided to get a birria quesadilla on a whim while getting gas, and I’m so glad I did! It was sooo good. The price is fair since they give you a big portion, and throw in everything like red/green salsa, radishes, cucumber and sour cream. Highly recommend! Nice service too“

“When I tell you this place has the best tacos you’ll find within RVA! I came across this place by accident Thursday night & I say accident bc my (ex fav.) taco truck was closed. I ordered a carne asada torta, 2 lengua tacos and a pastor, my bf ordered carnitas and asada. The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly! & they don’t skimp you on the meat either. The food was so good that I went back Sunday afternoon for more tortas and more tacos. I’ve told all of my coworkers about this place. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Excellent food… with a delicious homemade flavor and the horchata with a rich and authentic Salvadoran flavor… it is an excellent recommendation to go out to eat with the familyTripe soup tastes just like having soup in El Salvador ♥️“
