Excellent food! Delicious and authentic. Plus they deliver through UberEats. Their tacos can’t be beat with the fresh tortillas and perfectly seasoned meat. The huaraches and sopes are very good and if you like ceviche their version is tasty. The flautas are our favorite and their incredible shrimp cocktail is served warm in a delicious tomato sauce with onions and avocados. Add some of the hot sauce they give you and enjoy with crackers. Great local place to eat. No frills joint. Place is a restaurant/bar/pool hall/nightclub. All the waitresses are very nice, but if you don’t speak Spanish you can always point to the items you want on the menu. There is always at least one waitress who can help you translate, so don’t worry.
ALL of the food was absolutely delicious! I got the steak tostados without the beans for an appetizer and the Birria Tacos with the Consumme soup for my meal. It was amazing!! My husband got the steak and chicken fajitas. My food was so good that I didn’t even reach into his plate. This will be my go to when I’m in the mood for Mexican. The margaritas were really good as well.
Definitely an interesting place. It half restaurant half night club. If you go at night expect loud music. There is usally some outdoor seating available. That said some of the best tacos birria I have had. Be aware this takes about half an hour to make. Worth it though, they are large hot and flavorful. Parking can get tight in the lot but i have always managed to find a space.
If you're Black and not accompanied by a person with Latin/Hispanic blood DONT GO HERE‼️‼️ They're Rude & Service is horrible. My sister , brother and I keep in mind he's disable we attempted to dine in we wanted to sit at the bar which was completely EMPTY by the way anyways we go sit as directed by one of the waitresses. Patiently waited at the bar for 20 min before anybody even looked at us. Another waitress walked in the bar are 2 times to grab Beers for other guest she DID NOT glance at us once. Finally a waitress greeted us although ther English was fluent she tried to help us she couldn't really understand us. She leaves ! 15 mins later and YES I counted 3 waitresses return unclear of why 3 were needed but the masculineowas more fluent came and took oorder 2 orders of chicken tacos , steak quesadilla, &3 house margaritas! She ID me confirmed everything then translate to her coworkers. (This was a SUNDAY WE WENT it wasn't even 30 ppl in the place .) Waiter return about 5 mins later "We can't serve you because we have a FULL house" " Your food will take 1hr- A hour and half . Like excuse me ma'am why didn't you mention that at first when we first sat down 30 MINUTES Ago ? Then why does it take THREE waitresses to tell us we can't be serve I felt Ganged up on! I really wish I took pictures their was NOBODY there! I felt so discriminated against ! We were the only trio of Black folks. Considering I ate their during take out before it was just foul it really hurt me if I could give ZERO STARS I would !!!!
I ordered Birria Tacos with Consumé, and a bag of chips and salsa. The total was $21 for a pick up order of 3 tacos -which at first I thought was much, but the tacos were full size and not street taco size, everything was delicious, they came with chili paste, sliced radish, and lime wedges. Need improvement: the chips were not very fresh and the small cup of salsa was not enough, even though the salsa was delicious.
The food this restaurant provides is hands down the best Mexican food I have ever had. I’m from California and on the west coast we have many options of amazing, authentic Mexican food. El Tapatio in Bladensburg, Maryland takes the cake as far as I’m concerned! Their pozole is superb!! Beautifully prepared chili relleno that tasted even better than it looked, homemade corn tortillas, slow cooked melt in your mouth meats!! Out of this world flavor. Eat here. You will not be disappointed.
The Birria de res tacos were excellent! Restaurant was clean and the service was very quick! 5 Stars!
Terrible got the birria tacos smh just no not enough meat they gave me lemons instead of limes no cilantro no onions meat somehow dry and they gave me enough filling for one taco split among the 3 I am so mad I wasted money on this mess
