Don’t sleep on this place. The food is so flavorful and delicious that green sauce will be in my dreams tonight. The street corn has a perfect balance of smoky, sweet spice and everything nice!
I finally got a chance to go try this place out. It is right behind Big B's liquor store. I will say i was not disappointed. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Special orders are no problem. They have a large selection to choose from. We got the Birria taco platter, burrito and beef taco. All the food was fresh made and hot. The sauces were great. They have a card you can get. If you make 10 purchases you get a surprise discount. It's great to finally have a taco place near me. I will be back to sample the whole menu. It won't take long to get to 10 purchases for the suprise discount. I would 100 percent recommend checking them out!
Amazing! Visited for the first time and the woman taking my order was extremely patient, offered menu suggestions, and was enthusiastic.
I ordered the birria nachos and tried the 4 for 10 Taco Tuesday special, ordering two barbacoa tacos, one chicken, and one steak. I absolutely loved the food! I would give it a 9 out of 10! I would say it’s the best Mexican food I’ve had in the DMV. In addition, the sauces were also delicious. The green sauce had a cilantro base and brought my tacos to another level. The chili oil was also a great addition as I can appreciate spice.
The atmosphere was relaxed as you order from a take-out window and can sit in a small patio area outside as you wait for your order.
All in all, I would 100% recommend as a no-frills authentic Mexican cuisine experience with amazing service and a chill atmosphere.
Great place for lunch! Service is very friendly and kind. Called and placed order for pick up, was ready in about 10-12 minutes. Had a steak burrito (filled to capacity and dense, loved the grilled/seared outside of it) with a steak taco and extra pico de gallo. All ingredients were fresh! Plenty of parking with many picnic tables outside for seating. Looking forward to eating here again!
The staff here is so very nice and accommodating. The steak burrito was excellent and the soft taco was just as good. This is my new favorite local spot! Can’t wait to try some more of their dishes. 5 stars!
Round 2! Still great! Steak taco, Beef taco, chicken taco and beans and rice, all really good! Still 5 stars! New photos added! ❤️
Finally got a chance to visit this place, and I'm mad I waited so long lol. The customer service was awesome. We ate right outside, it was a beautiful day. I did the custom tacos, and had a shrimp, beef, and birria. They were seasoned very well, and taste delicious. The rice and beans portion was a great size and went well with the meal. I also ordered the street corn, and that was also very delicious. My husband ordered the chicken burrito, and it was a nice size and also very delicious. Overall we will be back and plan to taste the entire menu, I highly suggest you eat here.
I personally thought the Tacos were OK nothing spectacular! As you can see from the photos I spent $16 on 3 tacos (birria, barbacoa x2) and a scoop of beans/rice!
Here are the missed opportunities:
-The tacos are tiny and barely any filling no wonder my bag and Tacos were so light! Nodipping sauce for the one birria taco!
-rice was bland, but the refried beans were ok yet COLD. I would suggest adding a cilantro lime rice, a side of black beans HOT, or even a garden salad to the box to make it worth $16! When I think of $16 I think of enough food to atleast be shared between 2ppl or to have left overs. Not the case here! $16 for 3 tiny half filled tacos!
-If you’re only looking for BEEF options then this is your place. No shrimp, or fish tacos and they need more variety and sides. I think there is chicken but I didn’t get it.
-If you’re looking for a spice kick, they don’t have that either no spicy sauces so I used my own as you see below! I would suggest adding a Tapatio spicy sauce, or even a grilled jalapeño on the side!
Pros:
-The quality of the food was good again very skimp on the VOLUME! Very fresh but not worth $16 dollars for what I paid for all 3 birria tacos with little filling.
-The family is very nice, as they should be for a new business.
-Nice to have a different option in the neighborhood, but they have a long way to go!
Final thoughts:
Quality is good, food was fresh. If you only want BEEF tacos go here!
For now I will stick to following @Big Boys Tacos Food Truck based in La plata (If you know you know!) because you get more bang for your buck!! The prices are the same but the volume of meat is more. See my Big Boy Tacos compared to this places below.
I’d even go to chipotle for Tacos and toppings for $16 rather than eat here again. I hope they do well. I may come back once they’ve been open a little longer and they need to add salads to the menu as well even Taco bowls/ salads, etc.
*Disclaimer: THE LAST PHOTO IN THE TIN BOWL IS BIG BOY TACOS! Not Vanesa’s! Added the photo for quality comparison. I paid $15.80 for those Tacos.
$15 for this! The most disappointing meal I've had in a long time. The thimble of salsa was watery and flavorless. The guacamole was a sauce not actual guacamole. Look at how little rice and beans they give you. Mexican rice is 1 of my favorite dishes but this was bland and flavorless. I was hoping for traditional tacos but I got store bought taco shells with just a little bit of meat. Do not waste your hard earned money on this place. We will never eat here again.
