18 Best Taco Restaurants near Sterling

“My Tastebuds we’re having a party. The food was succulent and scrumptious. I felt like I had gone back to Spain. It is a must for anyone who appreciates good food. Cannot stop telling my friends how delicious the food was.“

“Taco Zocalo is FANTASTIC. We ordered the Burrito Tray and the Taco Salad for Catering/Delivery. Denia was so wonderful and amazing getting our order together with all of our requests. She is the greatest. And the delivery was right on time. SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE THERE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!“

“I’ve been to several Taco Bamba locations in Maryland, and while the food is always fantastic, the Sterling location really stands out because of the service. The tacos are as creative and delicious as ever, but what keeps bringing us back is how friendly and welcoming the staff is. Everyone has been consistently helpful, attentive, and genuinely seems to care that you have a great experience. Great food is expected at Taco Bamba, but outstanding service makes this location my favorite. Keep up the great work!“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere“

“This place was highly recommended by some friends. But when we tried it, the server couldn’t explain well the difference among some of the choices. The tacos we had were mediocre I felt, the portion size of the fish was really small. We may try different kinds next time to see if our review on this spot could be improved.“

“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.“

“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 👊🏻👊🏻“

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

“I've been eating their tacos for years from their ghost kitchen location in Chefscape, and I'm so excited they have their own place now! The food easily held up to my rosy memories from the old location, and the drinks are a wonderful addition!“

“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.“

“We went and really enjoyed the food…“

“Food is exceptional! BY FAR the best El Salvadorian Restaurant I've ever come across!
This restaurant ranks the highest of ALL my reviews over the years!
Staff is wonderful.....SO HELPFUL!
Thank you Jenny, Dennis and Tony!
And congrats with the opening of the 2nd restaurant! It will no doubt be as successful as the 1st!“

“We were looking for a way to get dinner for 4 takeout for less than$10/pp tonight and my husband suggested this restaurant after just discovering it earlier this week. This is a cheap eating gem! We will absolutely be back.“

“The bodega recently changed ownership and today is when their meat counter opened. I think I was the first customer and I bought a tri tip, an excellent cut of beef not carried by the local supermarkets. The restaurant portion of the store makes everything fresh to order, including the tortillas.“

“Just had the most amazing tacos at Taki Tacos! The flavors were spot-on and totally authentic—felt like a trip to Mexico. Plus, the service was super fast, so I didn’t have to wait long to dig in. Definitely my new go-to spot for tacos!“

“Holy crap, seriously some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. Their steak tacos were crazy packed with flavor. The Pupusas were amazing too. Glad to find this on way home from Dulles Airport.“

“The food was great. I got a breakfast taco for $3.89 (I think) and it was loaded with fillings (I got egg, sausage, potato, and shredded cheese). The tortilla itself was very good. It felt and tasted homemade.

The service was pretty mid. I started off with a man, and I don't know if he was new or what, but he either absolutely did not know what to do or was pretending to be incompetent to get out of doing work.
First, he had to get help from the woman who was working to even start making the taco. After she said to put the sausage and egg onto the tortilla (kinda wild that he didn't know to do that), instead of putting the sausage on the tortilla, he started breaking it up into the egg container (so maybe don't eat here if you're a strict vegetarian, lol). She noticed what he was doing and verbally corrected him (with very clear instructions) and he just kinda gave up and walked away, so she had to take over. She was clearly frustrated, which is totally understandable given she was already doing other work. I hope she sees this review and knows that she was totally valid to be frustrated, because what do you mean you don't know how to make a taco?!

If this guy is a new employee, he needs someone to train him better. But also, if he gets so confused about scooping prepared food into a prepared tortilla, maybe he needs a role with different responsibilities.“
