8. El Rey Taqueria & Rostiseria

I am shocked ... shocked, I tell you ... that there is no listing here for El Rey Taqueria & Rostiseria. Time to fix that.This is, first and foremost, a taqueria. People come here for the tacos. And maybe the quesadilla or huaraches. Skip the roasted chicken, even though I’ve been told it’s really good and it reflects half the name of the place.The food is great, the prices really, REALLY tough to beat, and the service is pretty good, once you get past the language barrier. I'm a huge fan of the carnitas tacos, although Tacos al Pastor are occasionally the lunch of choice. And I recently discovered a new offering, Tacos de Suadero. Think beef cooked carnitas-style, and you’re getting close. I've also gone off the reservation a couple times and tried goat (a little gamy) and buche (pork stomach), which tasted okay but didn't have an appealing texture. But regardless of what you order, your fresh-off-the-griddle corn tortillas will be loaded down with a huge portion of pork, beef, chicken, or miscellaneous body parts, all topped off with finely-chopped onion and cilantro.Tacos are served with lime wedges, slices or cucumber and radish, and grilled cebollines, which look like nothing more than scallions on steroids. A tray with four different salsas, spicy red, spicy green, tomatillo and a nopale relish comes to the table along with your order. I think they're all made in-house, as the red has varied from merely hot to inferno-like.I’ve been in a rut here for several years, ordering just the tacos. I keep thinking about varying the routine and getting huaraches or chilaquiles, but I walk up to the counter, see the corn tortillas being pressed out and tossed on the griddle, and I order up a plate of tacos.Bottom line -- it’s dirt cheap, excellent food, and the staff is friendly. Enjoy, gringo, and look for me when you decide to stop in.

So we had a party of 14, made reservations for 1:30 all of that worked out fine. My wife and I showed up a little early so we went into the lounge next door that is part of the restaurant, so we had a margarita which was really good and we asked the bartender if we were able to take our drinks with us to the dining room when our party shows up, the bartender said "sure no problem" she went into the other side of the restaurant for something and came back to us and said, and I quote, "Are you here to meet THE WHITE PEOPLE?" my wife and I almost fell of our stools, could you imagine any restaurant the has mostly Caucasians as customers asking a Hispanic couple "are you here to meet the Hispanic People or the Mexican people? They would be sued the next day, the place is dirty has multiple code violations from holes in the floor, missing tiles, electrical plates missing, and toilet in the mens' room was pretty much not even attached to the floor, save your money, there is no reason to go out of your way to go here that is for sure

Taqueria Tres Reyes

Reviewed By Oski_Bear_DC

For $3 each I was expecting the usual single-handed meal experienced at other taquerias. These tacos were overflowing with meat, were difficult to hold with one hand, and each bite caused some chunks of meat to fall out. Besides the pleasant surprise for quantity, quality was very good. The lengua was very tender and needed some sauce (green & red accompanied the tacos). The al pastor was flavorful. The real surprise was the tender, crispy texture of the tripa helped by a few minutes on the flat top grill. If you want Coke, both domestic and Mexican versions are available.It can be busy during lunch. Ordering is faster if you speak a little Spanish. They assume most gringos take out. The TV is blaring a Hispanic station.

Went at 8pm on a Saturday night with the family. First entered into the night club which looked fine and was populated with a Latino population but not suited for the family. At the restaurant, we first were the only guests but it filled over time. Atmosphere is more functional, but was clean and service was friendly. Food was tasty and certainly sufficient. Price adequate. Valid option to go if you are in the area and up for Mexican food.

Taqueria La Placita

Reviewed By 944giorgiog

....in this simple, yet extraordinary taqueria, where, every time you come back you feel you are in central Mexico and are never disappointed... Many taquerias are full on Sunday, but this one is full every night, so prepare yourself to several minutes of waiting.. your patience will be compensated by the variety of Mexican country flavors.. from tongue to jowls to tripe to liver or heart for the courageous and the cognoscenti, and more common items. like chorizo, chicken, nopales, carnitas and so on.. definitely off center,as compared to the center of DC, but worth visiting for any food aficionado...
