Customer Reviews
Tried their torta and it was really good. The ingredients tasted fresh and the flavors came together so well. Also got some tacos and they were solid too. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu. Good spot for a quick bite that actually tastes great.
Came in close to closing, staff had already started packing up and weren’t overly happy to see us, which, I get — it was late. We were served, my friend wasn’t allowed to use the restroom, but other than that good vibes and a great location. The food was really good!
We recently had Bandit Taco cater a corporate lunch for 20 guests, and I can honestly say they exceeded expectations. From the moment we placed the order to the final setup, everything was handled with care and professionalism. Their team was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to the details, which made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. And the food — wow. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The tacos were a huge hit, and the tres leches dessert? Absolutely amazing. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s always such a relief to work with a vendor that delivers not just great food, but great service too. We’ll definitely be ordering from them again.
I order from here often and it’s hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever had and I’m a connoisseur :) I normally get a few variations of tacos, all delicious but my favorite is the shrimp. I’ve also had their birria tacos which hit too. Last night for the first time I ordered a barbacoa bowl which was phenomenal, the meat was spicy slight sweet melt in your mouth good. Everything was soo fresh I just sat back like wow this is amazing! But I do have a gripe.. I ordered guacamole to be added and it was however my guac had no onions no tomatoes lime or salt so it was more of an avocado mash. I was throughly confused by this because everything is usually on point and for the guac not to be right had me scratching my head. Also…the portion of the bowl was really small and I could count the g
I love Bandit — it’s been my favorite taco spot in the DMV since I started coming in 2018. I did remove one star this time because I’ve noticed that the tacos have become noticeably smaller this year. I used to order three Baja fish tacos, but now I find myself ordering five just to get the same amount. The tortillas are smaller and protein portions are the most noticeable reduced. I’m a long-time and reliable customer, and I understand COGs and operating expenses, so I get why adjustments sometimes need to be made. It just feels a little discouraging to pay the same price for noticeably smaller portion sizes. That said, the food is still great and consistently prepared — I really do love this place. I just wanted to share this as something I’ve been noticing.
