Jen JohnsonApril 22, 2014This is truly a hidden gem - it's tucked away in a strip mall behind another strip mall. Everything here is amazing, tasty, and made with quality ingredients!! I dream of the soup - best ever!!!!!!!!!- Amanda B-BAugust 7, 2013Tacos are stuffed with a ton of meat. Don't expect to do much after eating a few of these. Great meats, fantastic sauces. Spicy shrimp taco was spicy, but just so-so. Get the carnitas and beef!
Washington PostApril 10, 2014Camarones a la diabla was inspiration for the Camaron diabla taco, with corn-spiked rice made green with cilantro, and a daisy chain of saffron-hued shrimp drizzled with jalapeno crema. Read more
Serious EatsApril 14, 2014Some of the best tacos here are of the offal variety: get the Tripa, featuring braised then fried tripe that's then topped with red onion and cilantro.
EVERYTHING is great here. That may seem like an over exaggeration but you'd be wrong. All Pastor, delicious. Chilequiles, tremendous, Carne, Taco Bamba (the taco), Devine. Just come here.
Primarily carry out. Very few barstools. Go for the Barbacoa taco, carnitas w/cactus salad topping, taco bamba. DEF order the pork tamale w/red sauce!!!! Hard to find, in lot behind Whole Foods.- BobbyJuly 30, 2017Everything is just SO GOOD. I really liked El Beso with the crispy beef tongue and Black Pearl fish tacos
- Liz BrandtJuly 21, 2013The spicy shroom tacos are delicious. Saucey & spicy w/ chipotle sauce, salty from cojiita cheese & love the crunch of pepitas. Fish tacos were a bit disappointing, but I'm not into fried fish tacos
Eric COctober 3, 2014I know this is old news for many of you but I just found the best Taco bar in the metro DC area. Now I need to eat my way down the menu!
The little crunchy bits in the Taco Bamba taco will rock your world
Everything is good. A normal order is 2-3 tacos. But just 1 taco nuestros because those are very filling. A hidden gem!
Jacob FullerSeptember 16, 2015I ordered the la poutina ,beso,and daily special.very good tacos and authentic.dont let the location fool you.
Reony TonneyckFebruary 6, 2016Best tacos I've had in the area. Authentic with a twist. Chorizo!! They're all a bit spicy even if they don't say it 😳
WayneJuly 21, 2013SO GOOD! The Black Pearl (fish taco) and El Beso (fried pork, beef, tongue, chili, scallions, aioli) were both amazing.
Amazing tacos. The specialty ones are worth the extra buck. Two tacos will easily fill you up.
Thomas Vander WalMay 6, 2017The carnitas and taco bamba fillings are incredibly good. The downside is just okay tortillas that don't have much flavor and are a bit rubbery.
Yousif DAugust 13, 2015I tried their spicy goat and corn!! They are delicious!! Definitely I'll come back again!!
V l SmithSeptember 19, 2016Taco Bamba (taco on the menu) was super yummy. Corn on the cob was awesome.
Lynn PinaJune 27, 2016The spicy shroom taco is good but really spicy. Loved the pork and pineapple one.
abigail.September 18, 2016Not many vegetarian options - but the spicy 'shroom taco is very good. Very spicy. Don't skip the salsa verde.
Carnitas tacos with cactus salsa and the orange hot sauce (it's not too hot). Killer.
Tongue tacos for life-- get the El Beso with beef and pork tongue and then embrace the goodness.
Chriss KnisleyDecember 29, 2014Awesome inventive and authentic tacos. Don't let the location worry you!
The Sopa style tacos are a meal on their own, great deal for $6.
Kevin ZhangSeptember 4, 2014Awesome tacos ! Any of them are great! $3 each! Can't get better than that
Amazing. Beso, Bamba, Black Pearl. I can't wait to go back.
Try the TNT "tongue and tripe" Taco ! Awesome tacos great prices !
The food, specifically. It's a hole in the wall, but amazing food.
Mike the ElderMarch 26, 2016Decent tacos, some of the best in the DC Area. The sopes look more like huaraches are yummy. The agua de horchata is good to help you down the copias (2 tortillas). The taco bamba is tasty.
Karthik RamanSeptember 18, 2014Tacos were great! Unfortunately, not much seating area. Good for takeout, I suppose
