★★★★★ 5.0 Asya W · Jun 2025

I had the mushroom tacos and they were great. Very simple and loaded with seasonal veggies. Their black beans were just okay. This place is good for a simple meal—nothing astonishing, but the good service and cleanliness make it worth choosing over others nearby. The staff were so welcoming and had great energy.

A great little joint in the Brookland neighborhood. Kind, attentive service and wonderful food. I’ll definitely go back. A few outdoor spots are great for sunny days.

Had a great takeout experience from Taco City! We ordered fajitas to go and they were fresh, tasty, and came with some chips and salsa! Order was ready very quickly and appreciated the staffs friendliness. The portion was large, we have another full meal tomorrow! Can’t wait to check out their brunch next. Definitely worth a visit!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alejandro Aguilar · Jul 2025

Food is great! Small spot in the heart of Brookland, Mexican vibes and Tex Mex cuisine makes this place a very warm restaurant to have a good meal. Birria tacos were super tasty and the pulled pork tacos was really nice too. We got churros in the house and they were incredibly crunchy and soft inside, perfect match with their house made Dulce de leche. You gotta stop by!

★★★★★ 5.0 Yesenia I. · Jan 2023

Enjoyed the happy hour food menu and the chill vibe of the restaurant. Parking was easy and the restaurant wasn’t crowded. The staff was warm and friendly and one could see there were regulars who just really love the place. We pretty much ordered one of every taco and they were so tasty! They were out of the flan but the tres leches was incredible! Definitely coming back.
