Incredible tacos! What stood out to me a was how perfectly each of the meats was cooked, none of them were dry or chewy. The two house made salsas were incredible, flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Sortido perfectly cooked pork, chopped together into a melange of flavor and texture, served with a sprinkle of cilantro, paired perfectly with the salsa verde. Pastor All about the seasonings, ribbons of heavily spiced pork, absent were the sugary pineapple chucks somewhat ubiquitous in Al Pastor, and all the better for it! This was some of the best Pastor I’ve ever had, elevated just a little more by the picante salsa roja Lengua delicate flavor with a melt on your tongue texture....
I prefer not to criticize a restaurant solely based on its appearance, but I found the establishment to be quite dirty, which really diminished my appetite. Additionally, the desserts were overpriced, and I was hoping for something delicious, but mine was burnt. The meat lacked flavor and was overly watery—overall, it was a terrible experience. Unfortunately, I didn't think to leave a review until after I had left, but I regret spending both my time and money there, especially since it's a 30-minute drive back. I believe the management should pay attention to customer feedback to improve and consistently deliver quality food, particularly given their high prices.
Tacos that feel like a slow decline. The quality keeps getting worse and worse. I ordered buche tacos, and they were spoiled. I can’t fathom how the cooks don’t notice the smell. There are no more dogs lingering around the tables, which says a lot. The owner seems to be an exploiter, which might explain why neither the place nor the employees seem invested in providing good service. This taqueria used to be a hidden gem, but now it’s just another spot with subpar food.
**Parking:** Finding parking can be a bit challenging, but there is a free parking lot available nearby. Overall, I had a great lunch experience at this restaurant, especially enjoying the pastor dish. The prices are reasonable, making it a good option for a satisfying meal. Just be prepared to search a little for parking when you arrive! Book a table now
It’s always bustling and noisy, and finding parking can be a real challenge, but the tacos here are simply the best you’ll ever taste. No matter when you visit, the place is always crowded, which speaks volumes about the quality! The chicharrón (fried pork) is wonderfully crispy and sold by the pound. Just go—you won’t regret it!
One of few things I miss about Cali is the street tacos. This is legitimately the best tacos I've had on the east coast. I just drove 30 minutes to get them and I'll probably do it again in a few days. It's fresh. High quality. Delicious. Price is slightly high but it's worth it for me. The portions are generous.
While they don’t offer beer, they do have a variety of refreshing juices and soft drinks. For dessert, you can pick up a bag of fresh fruit from a small counter near the entrance of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is charming, adorned with beautiful murals and intricate woodwork throughout the space.
The meat is poorly cut, with large chunks of gristle and inedible pieces. The tortillas are not handmade, and the wait time is excessive. Overall, the food is not worth it. I recommend going next door; they have much better options. This food was quite disappointing. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Book a table now
Stopped in for lunch and had some of the best tacos! They really are amazing. We got carne asada and al pastor tacos, both were fantastic! We ate there lots of seating outside. Tacos were brought out very fast, and for a great price
The best tacos al pastor in the DC area! While the other tacos are tasty, they can't quite compare.
