REALLY great TACOS! All are great but the Mixtos are my favorite. Guacomole is wonderful but you have to be a fan of cilantro which I am. The homemade juices are very refreshing and not too sweet .

I wanted to say the cheese/avocado taco was DA BEST and then I had the al pastor. Which is also DA BEST. So the answer here is both of them are, but they are DA BEST at different things. CONSUME.

3 tacos minimum for around $9. Guac and chips are $6. The tacos are delicious, despite the relatively high prices. They have a great selection of veggie.

Queso con aguacate taco: crisp Oaxaca cheese on the griddle along with two warm tortillas before topping it with creamy wedges of ripe avocado and onion.

Carne and pollo tacos are great. Al pastor (pork) = not impressed at all. I love pork but could barely taste any in the taco

Pollo tacos are great! Cilantro, lime & cucumbers make it quasi healthy. Guac was good, too.

People talk about the AL Pastore, but the mixto is great!

Super authentic & tasty! Great guacamole and steak tacos

Perhaps the best tacos in DC. Bonus: slightly off the beaten path!
Adam SeanJune 17, 2018
The tacos are good but salty and rely a lot on sauce, so you lose the freshness of the ingredients. Pica Taco, a few blocks away, is better.

Mixto chicken!
Marie IndcAugust 9, 2013
you can't go wrong with the tacos al pastor and the chicken+sausages.

Get the mixto tacos with chicken and add cheese.

Don't go here if you're already hungry/hangry/starving. Otherwise, tacos are as good as it gets in DC.(coming from a Californian that's a huge deal!)

Al Pastor tacos taste more like carnitas, they're not really good. Other tacos are just fine. Believe me, I'm Mexican.

The salsa habanero was very spicy and worth trying if you like spicy food.
Kurt JAugust 29, 2012
Starting September 1st 2012, tacos will have to be ordered in orders of three. Tacos must be the same style.

Looks will deceive! The tacos may look delicious but they don't live up to expectation!

Best tacos and salsa in town
Jason DistrictAugust 21, 2012
The Mixto Taco (Carne Asada/Chorizo) with the habanero salsa is a winner!
Griffin WholleyNovember 30, 2014
😻😻😻 Best tacos in DC. Hands down.

The chorizo tacos are ON POINT.

This as authentic as you can get in the city. Puro Mexico!

There's tables out back if it gets too crowded indoors.

Loved their chorizo

Get the Al Pastor.
FritzSeptember 7, 2012
they charge extra to mix&match (but don't tell you & blame your not looking at the paper menu). go to Pica Taco instead..they're are honest, give more food, are nicer, & don't have so many rules

Here's a tip: Lets keep this place a secret. Deal?

Onions reign in the guacamole. Consider yourself warned
Kurt JAugust 29, 2012
People paying with cards, there is a $10 minimum.
Corey GibsonMay 13, 2013
Why should one leave home to be served Costco tortilla chips?
angela nAugust 18, 2012
Try the habanero salsa
Anna JohnSeptember 25, 2012
They should rename the guac "CILANTROmole"--and I'm usually a fan of the herb! Ew. No avocado taste at ALL. Avoid. So bad, it ruined the whole overpriced meal ($30 goes a lot further @ District Taco).
Brett AndriesenApril 7, 2013
They do not offer Doritos loco tacos here.
Becca FrankMay 11, 2013
The cabbage is HOT.
Jenn ShinJanuary 11, 2013
Same goes for the guac-tasteless and made terribly!
J FillJuly 2, 2013
Bomb ass tacos though
Mas.CositasAugust 29, 2013
Buenos sí, muy parecido a los tacos que se comen en México solo que se pasan de cebolla tuve hasta resaca de cebolla. El 'guacamole picante' son dos mentiras porque ni pica y tampoco tiene aguacate.
Sean MurphyOctober 10, 2013
Tacos con carne + jarritos + unvision = muy bien.
