“ The tacos were good and the service was friendly. The price for one taco ($4) was a bit high in my opinion, but it was tasty. Would definitely return if in the area but probably wouldn’t make a special trip. Gluten-free friendly as the shells were all corn. ”
“ This is one of the best taco joints in the DC- Maryland area. I never leave disappointed. Any time I'm in the area, I make sure to visit. After living in Mexico for over 6 years, this place really scratches that itch. It is literally the closest thing that I've found to that long-sought-after street taco experience. ”
“ The place was super busy and we had to wait half hour to get our order. It’s also hard to get a table but there are tables outside the restaurant. It’s nice and u can enjoy your tacos in a calm environment. The tacos are great, but they come in two tortilla so it’s a bit much. Just have it with one so that u don’t get full immediately. Also try to eat them quick otherwise they become a little hard. But the taste has plenty of flavor and spice to it. We got the pineapple juice outside, it was very tasty but beware it’s expensive. I would definitely go again. It’s a very nice experience. ”
“ Love this spot for a quick bite and fresh juice! It is a local favorite for friends and family. They make a fine taco and traditional chicharrón. They have a ton of seating and play good music while serving up plenty of salsa and veggies to top your food :) The staff are smiling and helpful! Gracias chef! ”
“ Taqueria Plazita is an absolute gem! Their tacos are hands down the best I’ve ever had bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and always fresh. Whether you’re into carne asada, al pastor, or carnitas, every bite is a masterpiece. And let’s talk about the torta juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The bread is soft, the fillings are generous, and the combination of flavors is simply unbeatable. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food that hits all the right notes, Taqueria Plazita is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough! ”
