Taqueria La Placita

Too bad i went the week before Cinco de Mayo. I may just go back. In my opinion, these are the best tacos in the area.

Food: They focus is on the meat which is seasoned very well, and is the star of the show. They have various meat options. All tacos are served with onion and cilantro. On the side you receive limes radish and cucumbers. The only thing that would make this experience even better would be home made tortillas. We got the following tacos:
-Tripa (inner guts) 6.5/10. It's seasoned well and has a smooth texture, but after a few bites i knew what i was eating.
-Al pastor (spiced pork) 6/10. Decent flavor but not stand out.
-Chorizo (sausage) 7/10. Very solid and safe choice.
-Cecina (salt beef) 8/10. I like salty so i liked this but it was very salty.
-Cabeza (meat head) 10/10. My friend wanted to try and I'm glad we did. This meat is seasoned well, it has little fatty bits, and is tender. Sooo good.
-Lengua (tongue) 10/10z We already know these are our favorite. The meat is just so tender, it melts in your mouth.
Though we didn't rate each taco 10/10, all the tacos were tasty and it was so fun to try all the different flavors.
Our favorite: lengua (tongue) and cabeza (meat head)
We also enjoyed some elote that was good. Nice accompaniment to the tacos. 7/10.

Recommendation: ask them so single wrap your tacos. Two tortillas takes away from the flavor of the meat in my opinio

Customer service: After you order your food, you can take a seat. When your food is ready, the servers will call out your number (in Spanish so pay attention), and you just wave them down. They bring your food, salsas (green salsa, red salsa, and pickled onions and peppers. They kept checking in us to see if we needed anything. The salsas are delicious. 9/10

Ambiance: this feels like a real authentic experience. They have a tent set up with outdoor seating. You kinda feel like you're in Mexico. I loved it.

Overall: I'll be back! 10/10

Great place! You can't be a vegetarian and judge a taquería
that serves pork lips and cheeks, and delicious beef tongue - there are other places vegetarians and vegans can choose to go.
Their tacos and tortas are the real deal! So truly Mexican, nopales (cactus) and chicharrones - so not Taco Hell... And their homemade sauces are exquisite!

Decent tacos, but not life changing. I had a rib, steak and a spiced pork taco. They were above average.

muy mal servicio los empleados tienen un caracter pésimo para servir cuatrapean las orden

Holy moly this place is legit. Amazing street tacos. Inside and outside seating. Next to a market and ice cream. Go here. You won't be sad. A minor amount of Spanish will get you far here. Bring cash.

This place is amazing. I don't know if I should call it a hidden gem because it's very busy Friday through Sunday. Food has always been great. I've been going for the last 6 years and the service and flavor is just as good as the first visit.

Love this place it's One of my favorites places on edmonston Rd The taco's delicious And chicharron yummy

I have been coming here for decades this is one of my favorite AUTHENTIC taco spots in the entire DMV, after eating all over the DMV in restaurants and food trucks this is the BEST when it comes to service and quality. My favorite tacos are the chicken and chorizo
Tacos I like them well done with extra veggies. I also come here Atleast once's a month to purchase fresh CHICHARON which is made on weekend by noon you'll love the fresh and Crispy taste. At the same location there's a separate store that sells Mexican corn which is my favorite always fresh you can order it with all the toppings or alone. At the same location there's desserts like Mexican jello, fresh squeezed juices, Mexican Candy and much more. During summer there's a section that sell Mexican slushees made to perfection all the flavors & toppings.

The restaurant is so affordable that you can bring your entire family, thinking of having parties this is the best spot for that. I order grays of tacos to go. If you live in the area make sure to stop by you won't regret it!

Outdoor and indoor seating!!

Some of the tastiest Tacos around and reallly authentic atmosphere. Didn't give 5 stars because it was just a tad salty but would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic experience
