Great tacos from El Chilango. It’s great value for the money and made to order. Whenever in the area I try and stop by. I’ve tried a few different types of tacos from here and I stick to the steak and mixto. Additionally the onion and habanero mix that is offered on the side is nice touch. Recommend if I. The area.

I grew up in Clearwater, Florida, surrounded by top-notch authentic Mexican food establishments. My next-door neighbors also happened to be from Mexico, & we became family, so I grew up on legit home-made Mexican food. Nobody’s tamales will ever compare. Ahh, but I digress. There doesn’t seem to be a huge Mexican presence here in the DMV. I have had some decent tacos, but nothing that reminded me of the ones I grew up on. As soon as I saw this taco truck I knew it was going to satisfy my hole in the wall craving. I ordered in Spanish and the owner, Jesus , complemented me on my Spanish and struck up a conversation with me. I think my Spanish sounds a lot better than my actual knowledge of it because I only understood about 2/3 of what he said, but it was a good conversation nonetheless and he seems like a genuinely kind person. I ordered two tacos and he threw in an extra free one. I will definitely be returning to this establishment. The tortillas were insanely good, they tasted homemade. I was able to try the asada, the pastor, and the chorizo. My personal favorite was the chorizo. It was mildly spiced and quite flavorful. It was some of the best chorizo I’ve ever had. The pastor was tender, a good solid choice. The asada had good flavor, but there was lot of gristle. As others have mentioned, the star of the salsa show is definitely the habanero! If you like spice do not pass this up! It’s not insanely spicy, maybe about as spicy as Diablo sauce from Taco Bell. It’s got such a good flavor though and it really adds to the overall experience. Every order comes with sliced radishes, cucumbers, and limes. I’m not going to lie and say these were the best tacos I ever had, but they were good, very satisfying, and the most authentic tasting Mexican tacos I’ve had here in the DMV. I will most definitely be back, and if you’re in search of authentic Mexican tacos I definitely suggest you give them a try. As others have said it is cash only! Jesus, if you are reading this, thank you so much for your hospitality, and for bringing a little taste of Mexico to the DMV. You are appreciated.
What my stars mean:
5 is outstanding, a must-experience, someplace I would bring/recommend to a tourist
4 is great, someplace I would love to go back to again and again. Backup options to bring/recommend to a tourist
3 is good. Someplace I would return to if in the area. I probably wouldn’t recommend to a tourist, but possibly to a local.
2 is ok but only because it is either cheap or convenient.
1 means I would not return

Best al pastor tacos in the DMV. This place has been in this location for more than 10 years and doesn’t disappoint. Jesus, the owner, is the best. Super friendly, great food, amazing staff.
Doesn’t have place to sit and only takes cash so plan accordingly

Delicious, scratch made tacos made by gente carinosa that clearly take pride in what they do. They have a very small menu, which I love, as it means they focus entirely on the few items they offer and absolutely nail them. Highest recommendation for no frills, eminently simple, properly seasoned, authentic CDMX style street tacos.

Delicious food truck off the side of the road that’s open Mondays through Saturday serving great options.
Their tacos are ~$3.50 each and they only accept cash. Note there are no vegetarian options.
While one can take them to go, it’s also possible to eat them there. For a full meal, I’d recommend having at least 3 and their green salsa is delicious with radish and cucumber toppings as well!
The staff are incredibly friendly and kind! I highly recommend checking them out!
