Our restaurant, La Taqueria DC started as a casual conversation between two old friends about better quality Mexican fare being brought to the Northern Virginia Washington DC area. Our founder, Freddy Vargas, and his hermano (close friend/brother) decided to combine their 40 + years of Mexican restaurant experience into a place like no other. La Taqueria DC was founded on the relationship between delicious, old-family recipes and true Mexican / SoCal culinary culture. All of our dishes are house – made, combining only the freshest ingredients utilizing Mexican culture.

Reviews
When we got home, we tried everything. Guacamole was kinda bland. The chips were ok. Chicken taquitos were under seasoned. The tacos carnitas were under seasoned as well. Possibly the taquitos were great above all. My girlfriend had the taquitos Birria and street corn. She mention if they had the Birria broth with her taquitos.
The packaging and presentation looked very good.
We were impressed the other items coming out the kitchen like the burgers. Will try again for the burgers next time.
There was a bit of a wait for the tacos but there’s a sign that warns you about that so I wasn’t bothered. Service was confusing, wasn’t sure if I was supposed to order at the counter or if someone was supposed to come to me. The server seemed distracted. Nonetheless I ordered tacos and they looked amazing. I got the carne asada, carnitas, and fried chicken taco.
Carne asada was bland. The steak could use more salt and definitely more cumin. Any salsa or sauce they put on there tasted fresh but also unseasoned. The fried chicken one was good the pickled onions were flavorful but too much breading on the chicken, barely any meat. The carnitas one was the best but not exceptional. Seasoned better than the carne asada but still could use (more) garlic, onion, cumin, and chili.
The venue carries 3 menus: American, Mexican, and Italian. I ventured through at around 4 pm on a Thursday and picked up the Mango Habonero wings for my bestie, the Bella Vita Pizza, and the Fried Chicken tacos.
The manager was very personable and shared that everything is made on site and the ladies behind the counter seemed to enjoy their work. There was a bit of a wait. A few people came on during my wait and grabbed tacos to dine in and about three people picked up to go orders. I would probably do this in the future. The inside area is rather tight. There are picnic tables outside for outdoor dining but not the best right now due to the heat.
I enjoyed the pizza but the crust was pretty hard like old garlic bread but the toppings were top notch. My beatie enjoyed the wings but had a critique of the sauce stating that it was more like jelly than sauce. ♂️ The tacos were a hit….The chicken tacos tasted good….the pleasing flavor combination of red cabbage, jalapeños, special sauce and lime squeeze were remarkable and I would return for this menu especially.
It should also be noted that there is a bar full of frozen margarita drinks on tap with a Virgin option that I would definitely return for.
They do serve bottled beer and water here but no water station to just get a water cup. Overall a good place and delicious food.
What was even more frustrating was the lack of transparency regarding gratuity. I was not informed that a tip had already been included in the total, and to my surprise, I was asked to leave another tip through the payment machine. This lack of communication felt deceptive and left a sour impression.
Overall, I was disappointed with both the food and the service, and I doubt I’ll be returning in the future.
Birria quesadilla was cheesy & meaty (they definitely did not skimp on the MEAT) I was wondering why the quesadilla was $15(on doordash) BUT they literally give you a whole pie!
The Birria taco was just as good.
I also got a carne asada(steak) taco that was okay (alot of gristle in the meat)
Definitely will be ordering from here again.
