“We got our food to go since the place is on the small side but the food did not disappoint. The sopes were delicious and the torta chingona was amazing. The torta can definitely Can be shared with another person since it’s on the big side (I think it was obvious from the name) I’ll definitely return!“
“The interior is very cool, sever was courteous. Service is quick. When it comes to the food itself: I'm on the fence. We ordered several appetizers and main dishes; we liked some and not others. Because it's an Indian Mexican fusion place, the Indian flavors over power any Mexican ones. So, it's up to the customer's taste.“
“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.“
“Food has always been very good. This was the first brunch foray and it did not disappoint. The plating illustrates how much pride they take in their food. It's not more pricey than the other Guapos I'm familiar with, but very much worth it. Let me stress how extraordinarily tasty the food is here and has been consistently over the last 4 years. You WILL love it. If you come for dinner, might I recommend the Seafood Enchiladas ? So good!“
“The food here was delicious!! Such bold flavors, not overbearing, just present in the right amounts. Perfectly balanced and fresh. Dax was our server. Very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. FTI: At the moment there's construction happening that obscures the location a bit. We definitely recommend.“
“Fantastic street tacos ($4-$6 per) and delicious margaritas. Orders are taken on a kiosk, so… no human interaction and straight forward. The only interaction we had was through the bar tender, which wasn’t much. Didn’t seem like wanted to be there nor did he seem to care about customers waiting to order. Bottom line - awesome food, unfriendly drinks.“
“This hidden gem offers a delightful fusion of flavors that's as vibrant and colorful as a Mexican mural. This family-owned operation not only wins your heart with its super friendly staff but also caters to a symphony of dietary preferences, making it a haven for vegetarians, vegans, and those seeking halal options. The casual atmosphere, a playful blend of Mexican zest and Greek finesse, sets the stage for a dining experience that's both laid-back and lip-smackingly good.Diving into the menu is like embarking on a culinary world tour, starting in Mexico with the Vegan taco, a masterclass in flavor that proves you don't need meat to create a masterpiece. It's a plant-based delight that showcases the kitchen's knack for transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary.The Mexican Pizza, a Wild Tacoz signature, is a flavor bomb. Imagine a 12" pizza that shuns the traditional crust for a double cheese-filled tortilla, creating a base that's as innovative as it is delicious. Topped with a protein of your choice and adorned with a medley of toppings including mild or spicy salsa, a three-cheese mix, tomatoes, onions, black beans, romaine, cilantro, and corn crumbs, it's a dish that dances on the line between genius and madness, landing squarely on the side of genius.Then, we set sail for Greece with the Gyro Burrito, a culinary hybrid that's as bold as it is delicious. Packed with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, and tzatziki, it's a wrap that wraps you in warmth and comfort, proving that when Mexico meets Greece, the result is nothing short of spectacular.Wild Tacoz is not just a restaurant; it's a testament to the power of family, fusion, and the universal language of delicious food. With every dish made to order, freshness is the name of the game, ensuring that each visit is as delightful as the last. In a world where fusion can sometimes mean confusion, Wild Tacoz stands out as a beacon of culinary creativity, blending Mexican flair and Greek elegance into a dining experience that's sure to leave you wild with joy.“
“I visited this Tex-Mex restaurant with a friend some time ago, and we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding, served in the perfect portions with the freshest ingredients to create the best Tex-Mex cuisine in the area. The interior was decorated with numerous paintings and art, which made the ambiance bold, colorful, and authentic. The service we received was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking the best Tex-Mex food in town!“
“Oliva's Kitchen: The Go-To Spot for Latin Cuisine Aficionados! ?Oliva's Kitchen stands out as a prime choice for those craving authentic Latin flavors. Chef Emilio consistently knocks it out of the park with dishes that pack a punch in terms of taste and presentation.Top Picks to Try:Carne Asada: Easily one of the tastiest around. The meat is grilled to perfection, oozing with flavors that are rich and satisfying.Blackened Chicken Sandwich: A stellar reinterpretation of a familiar favorite. The blackened spices bring a robust and tantalizing flavor profile.Torta Milanese Sandwich: Hits the mark every time! It’s a hearty choice brimming with taste.“
“Came during happy hour, and was pleasantly surprised at the prices and options they had. Loved the frozen lime margarita (a must), with the chicken quesadillas and the guacamole and salsa to share with the table. Loved the pupusas, and the best thing about this restaurant is that the food is always fresh and hot! We loved the tres leches and the churros and ice cream.“
“I have been to all the local El Pasos and I like them all.I just never cared for the free chips & salsa. They don't taste authentic & are flavorless. I also hear the steak is absolutely horrible. It's so bad, two people I took will never go there, again. But the margaritas are affordable, delicious, there's a wide variety & you can have them made with top-shelf ingredients. I also do prefer health foods & there is very little I can order, but just enough that I still make the trip, a few times a year.With the last thought said, I would be happier if they had a healthier portion of the menu. Maybe gf tacos or burritos, refried beans without animal lard, a good-tasting vegan cheese (Kite Hill or Tofutti) and/or gf tortilla chips. Maybe even more salads, too. If they did, I'd probably go more then a few times a year. Maybe a few times a month! No one wants to eat the same thing, all the time.Although the lighting is a little bright, I do like the atmosphere. It's colorful & authentic & has plenty of booth-seating.Upon this last visit service was slow and my order came out wrong, even with a translator, but they made up for it, just fine. Usually my order comes out 100% correct.However, I will not stop going, despite anything negative I may have said!Vegetarian options: You'd have to customize a ton & note that the refried beans contain animal lard.Dietary restrictions: Nothing GF available, except a salad or dishes where the tacos come on the side (so you can just not eat them), like the enchiladas.“
“Their food truck right next to my building & after my first try, I have a hard time to stop myself not getting their veggie tacos, burrito & cheese quesadilla. Cook & server are so nice & they are always quick to provide my order. There is always a line in front of their truck, either short or long line. They deserve it!“
“Service was excellent. The food isn’t bad either. I need to give them a try because I got something out of the ordinary. If you end up getting fries like I did, they’re terrific. A chimichanga is next on my list. It’s definitely worth the stop.“
“The food at this place is out of this world and probably one of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. The service was impeccable. Our server Flora could not be more attentive and sweet. We will definitively come back next time we visit our son in college.“
“Friendly service and delicious food. The flan was awesome! Great place to treat myself while getting my car worked on across the street. (Glad I’m still young enough to sprint for my life across horrible Fairfax roads with no easy way for pedestrians to cross.)“
“Great halal place. Just a suggestion to put out the halal zabiha certificate somewhere it’s visible to your customer. We asked the cashier whether it’s halal. She said everything in the menu is halal. She also provided the owner’s name.Anyways, tacos were delicious. They were loaded with ingredients and flavor. Just wondering, why only soft tacos? Why not crunchy tacos also? Quesedillas was tasty. Churos were so yummy?. I enjoyed every bite of it. They were crunchy from outside and soft and creamy from inside. I highly recommend this place. I will be going there again and again.“
“Really enjoyed this restaurant. We tried their 3 vegan tacos. One with veggies (onion and peppers), one with mushrooms, and one with a vegan chorizo. All were delicious. The side sauces were also really good. One was pretty spicy, but had a nice flavor.“
“De.lic.ious.I don't like Mexican food. Never have. My husband loves it. We had to go for his bday so I looked up places and found this place with 4.8 stars. OK. We went and it's in some industrial area. The smell was mouth watering. For me, that's weird because I don't like Mexican food. The food came. We tried tacos, Carne asada, nachos, fajitas - we finished it. ALL. Even my picky eater ate and ate well.I'm so happy I found this little gem.Don't question it - just go!“
“At the beginning it was slightly difficult find.But we found them at the corner of Piedmont and Pershing.The tacos taste great!!I tried Pastor, Barbacoa and Carne asadaI like them all but my favorites were Pastor!I would highly recome and DEFINITELY coming back!“
“The food was really good my wife loved the tamales and was suprised that a place so little had such good food and right outside or our doorstep she’ll definitely be coming back. I loved my burrito it was perfect and the service was fast clean and friendly. Highly recommend“
“I came to your establishment this month to celebrate my birthday and I had an amazing waitress named Danielle who made me and my table feel special and then the manager on duty Emmanuel Winston topped off her services with his and brought me cheese cake for my birthday between the both of them I gladly give you and them 7 stars because 5 stars isn't enoughWheelchair accessibility: Wide isles“
“Qué rico! ? This Mexican food is absolutely divine! The flavors are so vibrant and authentic, it's like a taste explosion in my mouth! The tortillas are perfectly handmade, the meats are tender and juicy, and the sauces are rich and bold. And the presentation? ¡Es una obra de arte! ? Every dish is a masterpiece, a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. I could eat here every day and never get tired of it. The service is also top-notch, friendly and attentive. ¡Viva la comida mexicana! ?? Five stars isn't enough, this place deserves a million! ?“
“One thing my husband and I used to do every Friday after a hard work week when we lived in Mexico City was order a mess of tacos and just veg in front of the TV. Since we moved back to the U.S. a few years ago, we have missed those taco Fridays as we haven’t been able to find anything like we would have had down there. If you’ve ever wondered what authentic Mexican tacos—not Tex Mex, not weird fusion, not overpriced silly frou-frou nonsense—taste like, this is your place. I took one bite of a taco (literally don’t remember which one, they were all great) and said “oh my GOD.” Yes, it caused me to blaspheme. It tasted like home.“
“This place is legit! So glad I came upon this place. Anyone serving nopleys and grilled onions needs to be seriously considered. The beef tongue is phenomenal! Fresh made charrorones with fresh guacamole is fire! If you want TRUE Mexican food, this is your place!“
“Great authentic local taqueria that doesn't break the bank. Love their burritos, the original and California one. I'd chose it over Chipotle any day. The first time my coworkers and I went to dine in, we caw boxes of fresh avocados coming in. This is an authentic and great joint that uses fresh ingredients.“
“Amazing tacos! The most authentic tacos I have had in the DMV! Incredible flavor across their entire menu. The al pastor and chicken tacos are to die for. The owner was so kind! It was our first time visiting and he went out of his way to make us feel welcome!This is a must visit if you're in the area...even if you aren't, you should drive for these tacos.10/10 will eat here again!“
“The interior decoration is amazing, creating an exotic and lovely dining experience.The waiters were super helpful. We were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, and told him what we’re looking for. All the recommendations we got are amazing!Absolutely love the Mole Bueno - the special Mexican sauce is just yummy! Also love their salsa sauce that goes with the chips - we prob have way too much chips than we should.Caramelized bananas are a very nice touch to end the meal.“
“I will go back to Urbano. The food was good on my one visit, and the atmosphere was excellent with two sides of the restaurant open to the outdoors in good weather. The service was acceptable. The men's room is inadequate for the capacity of the restaurant though.“
“Updating for our most recent visit on 4/18/24WOW! Amazing staff and service, fun atmosphere, and a pretty strong happy hour margarita. Just a great time all around.Our meal at Senor was a mixed bag, but they went out of their way to solve the problems we had and because of that we will likely be back in the future.The restaurant itself is a fun space, with lots of bright decoration and fun music. Likewise, the entire hosting and serving team went above and beyond. They were let down by some kind of mess in the kitchen that left us waiting almost an hour for a 2 item order.The team was apologetic, communicated, and gave us a break on the bill to help make up for the issue. I hope that was an isolated problem, because once it came out the food was solid to“
“We stumbled upon Taco Rock one day while shopping and went for lunch. About 5 hours later we went back for dinner! If that doesn't tell you how great this place is, I don't know what will.The atmosphere is great! Everything from '80s videos to today's, fun to watch along with several TVs. Usually with sports. The music's not too loud that you can't have a conversation.The menu is actually quite expansive, more than just tacos.. They have everything from basic tacos to more complex and fusion type tacos along with tortas, quesadillas, and even a taco salad bowl. And The joy of this place is you can eat a few tacos and a soda for less than 10 bucks. You can also go way beyond that with one of their appetizers like nachos, taco pizza, empanadas and more. The tortas and sandwiches are quite good but run a little expensive. I've yet to try the fajitas but see them often and people seem to enjoy them. Other than that, I think we've had everything on the menu!I'm at the Falls Church location weekly, and you actually start to see a lot of the same crowd there. It's not unusual to see families there with the parents on the bar side and the kids on the restaurant side. As far as the bar, it seems quite busy, but I've yet to really connect with a bartender there. Some are friendlier than others.The rest of the staff, however, are absolutely amazing. Everyone from the cooking crew who smiles and laughs but is 100% professional to the friendly and fast expediters to Mario, the master of Quality Control ensuring your leal is not only accurate but beautiful to look at, he is rhe glue that keeps the whole place together.You can't go wrong with Taco Rock!Vegetarian options: The fried avocado, balsamic mushroom, and my personal favorite. The cauliflower tacos are amazing.“
“La Unión restaurant is one of the best in the area. The food is always on point and the service is top notch. I usually order the shrimp dishes (camarones entomatados or camarones en crema). Yum! Really, anything you order will not disappoint. Run, don’t walk! 10/10Kid-friendliness: La Unión is family and kid friendly! Great atmosphere to bring the entire family to share memories while enjoying great food.“
“The Bulgogi, spicy pork, al pastor and carne asada tacos were the best. The chorizo tacos were good, and so were the Gal bee. The carnitas and pork belly lacked flavor but the meat was cooked well. The complimentary chips and salsa was really good! The music was interesting. It was a mix of some slow covered R&B and some modern Mexican music. They kept switching the songs, which was kinda odd. Decent server, not above and beyond but not below average. I’d recommend this place to my friends.“
“We have ordered to go a couple of times the service is fast and awesome! The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and how things are prepared! The food is phenomenal! It's so good and there is so much to try! We are definitely going to be long time customers!!!“
“The food was good menu selection was good and the service was excellent. This is my first time eating in the Potomac location and I must say that I was quite surprised by the service and menu selection considering that my experience in the north Bethesda location was really awful. Thank you, Potomac gringos and mariachis for restoring my confidence and your food and brand.“
“It's new, it's good, it's worth visiting. [fin] Ok, jk jk, I'll write more. Let's cover food, service, and ambiance in that order. Food: Solid to very good. Of the el arriero ny steak, lomo saltado, and molcajete ... the steak and molcajete win. Sadly the lomo saltado, while quite decent, doesn't hold a candle to Super Chicken in Tysons. Ok but here's the important bit: THE CHIPS. The chips are great. Not only are they thin and crispy, they're well salted AND served with both WARM and COLD salsas. I never thought anyone would do as well as Uncle Julios for chips, but ... well, Guapos does. Service: Ironically we've been twice and we had the same server both times. And she was excellent. Super friendly, quick with requests, and checked in frequently. Not only that, they clearly operate as a team and several folks came by during the meal to ensure drinks were filled, napkins were in order ... and shockingly, as we were wrapping up, someone wiped the crumbs off the table. I mean that's a white-tablecloth steakhouse thing... right? Apparently it's a Guapos thing too. Ambiance: Fun to hip. The first time we were there was opening week and the live band was both entertaining and, uh, loud. Look, we're fogies, we complain about this err ... stuff. The second time we went it was much quieter and we were able to enjoy our meals AND our conversation. The decor is pretty great, the table arrangement spacious, and the place was packed, nevertheless. I'll close out with parking. It's a big lot, and it gets crowded ... but we found spots nevertheless on a busy night. Looking for Mexican? Yeah, I'd go here again. No arm-twisting required.“
“My recent dining experience at Taqueria La Ceibita was a mix of moderate culinary satisfaction juxtaposed with concerns about the overall cleanliness of the establishment. The nuances of this experience prompted me to reflect on both positive and challenging aspects of my visit.Starting with the positives, the food at Taqueria La Ceibita can be characterized as average. While it met the baseline expectations for a taqueria, it didn't quite achieve the level of culinary distinction that might set it apart from other similar establishments. The menu offered a variety of traditional options, but the execution and flavor profiles were somewhat run-of-the-mill, lacking that special touch that elevates a dining experience.Where Taqueria La Ceibita faced notable challenges was in the realm of cleanliness. The overall tidiness of the establishment left much to be desired, and this impacted the overall ambiance. The dining area, tables, and even the restrooms exhibited signs of inadequate maintenance, contributing to an atmosphere that fell short of the hygiene standards one would expect from a dining establishment.The cleanliness issues were particularly apparent in the restroom facilities, a crucial element in providing a positive dining experience. Clean and well-maintained restrooms contribute significantly to the overall perception of a restaurant, and in this case, the lapses in cleanliness detracted from the overall impression.It's important to acknowledge that the staff at Taqueria La Ceibita were friendly and accommodating, which added a positive dimension to the dining experience. Their customer-centric approach contributed to a welcoming atmosphere despite the cleanliness concerns.In conclusion, Taqueria La Ceibita offers an average dining experience with a friendly staff, but the notable cleanliness issues pose a challenge to the overall ambiance. Addressing these hygiene concerns promptly would be crucial for the establishment to enhance its appeal and provide a more satisfying dining experience for patrons. The potential for improvement is evident, and with concerted efforts in maintaining“
“Happy hour was packed and I thought I’d be waiting for a while for my drinks and food, but that was not the case. My beer came amazingly fast and my tacos were served soon afterwards and were delicious. I was just looking for a convenient place nearby my hotel, but it was so much more than I expected. I look forward to going again.“
“Best taco bamba in my opinion. Plenty of parking spots. Fast service. Food is goodVegetarian options: Depends on the menu, they have a coupleDietary restrictions: Ask the employee, they would be better helpParking: Open space parking lot, unique shopping center but enough parking spots if not the weekend or busy dayKid-friendliness: Clean and friendly environmentWheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible“
“Great hole in the wall spot on the second floor. Food is delicious - not too oily so tacos don't get soggy. Great range of menu options. The steak, beef, chicken are halal.Dietary restrictions: The meat (chicken, beef) is halalParking: Strip mall with lots of spots to park“
“If you're looking for an international version of a greasy spoon, this is it! Food is superb. Prices are reasonable for anywhere, let alone NOVA. Atmosphere is attractively rough around the edges. And they have good beer on tap. Highly recommend!“
“Authentic and creative dishes - everything is delicious! I've been extremely lucky to have Taqueria Picoso catered at large gatherings, and everyone has enjoyed something. I'm nearly always the most difficult to feed in the group as I'm plant based / vegan, but it's not an issue here! Often, in order for me to eat good, I have to go to a restaurant that has a health-conscious brand (you know what I mean - green juices, salads, etc.). It can be quite challenging to find a decent, filling meal at a restaurant; my options are usually a plain salad (cheese and meat removed, but still full price!) or something made out of potatoes. An authentic restaurant? Forget about it! It's nice to actually be able to enjoy a filling meal with family and friends at Taqueria Picoso! For other plant based / vegan folks (or anyone, really!), try their vegan chorizo & potato tacos. I could also probably eat their salsa out of a bowl with a spoon...“
“A bigger nicer patio after they renovated it. The indoor spacing is also pretty big and nice. The food was amazing, the cheese quesadilla was really good along with the fajitas which were also awesome. They have the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had. The service is always friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this is your place.“
“We were having dinner with friends in Bethesda, but got there early so we decided to stop by this place for a margarita before going to the dinner. We had some spicy skinny margaritas and chips and salsa. Both the margaritas and the chips were great. We cannot speak to the rest of the menu, but will likely come back to try it out.“
“This my Second time there and I must say HANDS DOWNN !!!! The best taco place in Bethesda no one has came close everything was well seasoned and just every bite just magnificent!!! very affordable as well and thanks to the cute guy behind the register he was very nice and “
“One of the best pupusas in town. Definitely worst a visit if your in the Germantown area. I stop bye any chance I get. It's funny how they're inside a beer and wine store. So you can pick up beer and pupusas or any other goodie's they make.“
“We were pleasantly surprised with this place - good food, great drinks, wonderful service - what’s not to like! The food came out fast (in a very full restaurant on a Friday night, mind you!) and it was good. Unlike some other Mexican restaurants we’ve been to, the house margarita in this place is a very good one, not watered down and had a good bit of tequila in it - so if you want to relax with family or friends after work one night, this is the place to be, we certainly enjoyed it!“
“The pupusas and tacos are a must. They're probably some of the better tacos you can get around the Landmark area. I did order their Birria Fries, and I had mixed feelings. The meet and toppings themselves were delicious; however, the fries were soggy and actually cold. I would definitely have enjoyed it way more if it was hot and crispy.I've also had the Birria tacos and Birria ramen during another visit. I'd definitely recommend them!“
“The sauces are yummy & I love that you can still get a high quality fast casual meal in Potomac for under $15. Corn tasted super fresh, steak was cooked perfectly tender. The rice bowls were very filling. I would definitely stop by again.“
“I love this place! I've only been for lunch and tried their salads and bowls, which are very tasty and portioned just right. The name is kind of misleading, because the menu is full of options that aren't tacos and don't have fish. They also have beer and margaritas.“
Recommended
“California Tortilla is one of the only places in the area where you can get a decent burrito. The prices are great, the portions are huge (My burrito is always MASSIVE), and the food is really tasty. The toppings are much better than Chipotle's and the burritos have a lot more flavor too. My only complaint is that the burritos fall apart so easily!! I really wish they put more care into wrapping them. Overall, service is really fast as well and it's good place if you're looking for a quick place to get a bite.“
