This location was small not really a sit in place to eat more of a grab and go. But food was amazing ! Even though they were busy sending out orders they gave me my order really quick. It was great. I had the Al Pastor Burrito. read more

The service and the food are pretty poor, even for a cheap takeout place. I changed one ingredient and added another on my order, but it came back the opposite of what I asked for. My partner's food was drenched in grease, and when she pointed it out, the reaction was like oh well whatever who cares. We will not be coming back. read more

Best place to have Mexican food around this neighborhood. Lovely staff with a great clean environment.

Came for Taco Tuesday, they have affordable tacos on Tuesdays with a limited selection for the special. Tacos were okay, didn't really have much flavor to be honest. I had the chicken and pork. Ordered the chicken tinga burrito and it was delicious. I would def. come back for the burrito. The spot is great and location where you can walk to. I really like the patio area as well. Service was great, fast, and the staff were great! read more

I found myself working from home and in need of lunch..I got a notification about Bandit Taco opening up in my area recently but didn't think anything of it right away. I open up my Uber Eats and the first thing I see is Bandit Taco and thought why not?!? The delivery was super fast (like 20 minutes!) so definitely take that into consideration if you don't feel like going out. For food, I ordered a pretty small lunch - 1 fish taco, 1 shrimp taco and chips and pico. It was all very tasty! My favorite had to be the fish taco, it was soo good. The fish was tasty as well too though. I would definitely eat from this place again, I will likely try the queso next and more tacos! Yum yum. I'm also very curious to see the restaurant/store front so my next visit will definitely be in person! read more

I had the displeasure of visiting this place on U Street. I order my food and once I received it. I did not like the way it looked, and the way it was prepared. So I ask to speak with a Manager. I was appalled at the way Ricardo, the Manager spoke with me. He was rude, aggressive, and very unprofessional when speaking to me. I will never go to the place again for two reasons, one the way my food looked when I received it, and two, Ricardo. He needs to be removed from his position at Bandit Tacos as soon as possible. He does this establishment a disservice. read more

I got the steak burrito and loved it. Be warned, there's only seating for 4 inside with 3 stools at the window. Come on a warm day and eat outside on the patio. Food quality is great! Tacos are 2$ on Tuesday. read more

If you're looking for good Mexican food - Bandit Taco is devastatingly close but just off the mark. I ordered the adobada burrito with extra pineapple. Pork was underwhelming but tender. Pineapple chunks were hard and at times inedible - as if taken from the center of the pineapple. Green salsa was a good addition to the burrito and added some of the flavor I felt was missing. I also ordered the tres leche cake and it tasted freezer burnt. I was only able to eat about 1/3 of it. read more

I haven't found good tacos in dc in a long time and this place definitely made in impression. I've tried them all and the sides nothing to complain about. Burritos nachos all of it is good, street corn and the best thing is the horchata! Follow : @fatboyzeat on IG FOR MORE! read more

Dc has there fair share of terrible tacos/ Mexican food, bandit taco is truly an exception. I love their tacos and am impressed by their guacamole. I am from Texas, I am a very harsh critique & I eat here often :) I like their adobo chicken& Korean beef the most! I got a burrito bowl here the other day, the only thing I would change is to ask for it without tomato's/ half the lettuce. They even have a Tuesday student discount! & taco Tuesday for $2 tacos :) read more

Amazing food and service, the chips and guacamole were top tier and tacos were very authentic.

Situated in an area with four Mexican restaurants within two blocks, Bandit Taco has plenty of competition to beat. Luckily for them, they do so quite handily by offering a plethora of unique, outside-the-box tacos ready to be customized and prepared just to your liking. I ordered the Tofu Taco, which boasted the zesty flavors of citrus, poblano, and salsa piled high atop the guacamole and cheese I added. Though not spicy in the least, it was a messy and delectable love letter to Tex-Mex cuisine. The prices here are pretty darn low, especially compared to other establishments nearby. My meal was all of six dollars. What's more, Bandit accepts AU Eagle Bucks when placing an order through GrubHub. Service is exceptionally quick; my pickup order was ready a full 40 minutes early! I had a fabulous experience at Bandit Taco, recommend it to all, and will most certainly return. read more

YUM! Went here for pickup during the quarantine and the staff adhered to all restrictions and made me feed safe (1 person at a time in the restaurant). Food was divine! All tacos had fresh ingredients, favorful slaws, and my kids LOVED their quesadillas. Chips were perfectly thin and crispy and salty. Only downside--they forgot my drink :( I'm ok having to go back! read more

The food is amazing! Cannot say enough positive things about this place. Great fish, shrimp, & barbacoa tacos. The guacamole was excellent. Chips were fresh and wonderful. Prices are reasonable. Staff was efficient and friendly! Run don't walk to bandit tacos. read more

Ordered delivery through ubereats. The order arrived pretty quickly. Was surprised that the tofu taco was one of my favorites. The steak taco and Korean beef taco were tasty, one was better than the other but I wasn't sure which one that was lol. Love how much cilantro they put in the tacos. My partner got a steak burrito, and he said it was good. We shared an adobo chicken quesadilla which was his favorite. Would definitely get take out from there again. It's reasonably priced, fresh, and delicious. They accidentally gave me a fanta instead of a mexican coke but gave me a refund for it which was nice! read more

Love this taco spot! The chips and guacamole have a little quick to it but overall I would definitely come back here again. read more

5 star service. 5 star taco Tuesday. 5 star flavor. Everything was delicious and came out in a timely manner. I ordered the chicken and chorizo tacos with a side of yuca. Best 7$ spent in a while. read more

This place was just not good. The guacamole was full of red onions, and tasted like it. The adobo chicken in the tacos were so over-cooked, it was hard to chew. The flavors were boring. Carne Asada was ok. Even the cups were off. There is a district taco across the street. Go there. read more

Nice mom and pop spot in Tenleytown. Friend and I went after class and was not disappointed. Guacamole and chips was great that I placed an order to go. $2 Taco Tuesday is a must for students or anyone wanting a good and cheap eat. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Look forward to adding it to my Taco list read more

Came here with a friend after a workout. It was in the area and a new thing that we both wanted to try. I ended up getting the street corn and two tacos, one was mushroom and the other one was pork. I never tried a mushroom taco before so the novelty of it appealed to me. I didn't find any of the food particularly horrible but I didn't find it very tasty or memorable either. What I did like where the sauce is that came with the food especially the red one was quite spicy and I used it the next day to mix with my scrambled eggs and breakfast. My friend had a bowl and she found a piece of plastic in her meal which she subsequently spit out. A service is at the counter where you order and pay. The indoors is limited seating and not comfortable. They do have outdoor seating on the sidewalk if you're interested in that. Didn't go into the bathroom so I don't know what that's like. They offer a variety of Mexican sodas and they also have dessert. Price is okay but I think it's a little bit much considering the quality of the food. If I was in the area and had a hankering for this type of food I might come back. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a quick dinner. We got the crispy shrimp tacos chicken adobo tacos. They were so good we ordered extra! As a native Texan, I have had a hard time finding good tacos in D.C. but these are good!!!!! read more

The manager was rude!!!! Forgot to give me the guacamole I paid for and said I didn't pay for it after checking her register, pure lies. I had a receipt as proof! DON'T GO HERE!!! read more

I believe a little over-rated. Had 2 Baja Fish Tacos (Tiny) and a shrimp bowl (also small) . All was really quite blah and cold. Great dog-friendly patio though......................... read more

Good Tacos ! But felt bit costly for the size of tacos ! read more

This little hole in the wall is located on a weird stretch of 41st street that I didn't even know existed and drive past it all the time without paying attention. I think Bandit Taco is worth paying attention. For my first visit, I just had a simple steak quesadilla. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The peppers and onions in it were amazing -- perfectly crisp-tender. Not a lot of these fast service places take such care with these basic cooking techniques, but this filling on this quesadilla really elevated it. The place is small and primarily carry out. I hope they are able to attract and retain an audience given their out-of-the way location. read more

Ordered steak with mushrooms quesadilla, awesome and delish! I believe they open till 9 pm. This is the best place to get good quality food during Coronavirus time and they still nice to customers! read more

Service sucks. Food sucks. Location sucks. Can it get any worse? It was a slow Monday afternoon with only one person in line in front of me but when it was my turn the cashier guy seemed to be in a hurry and kept urging me to finish my order. Rude and annoying. I ordered 3 tacos all of which were just ok and tiny for the price. Fish, shrimp, skirt steak. Fish and steak had no flavor- shrimp was ok because of the sauce they added on top. They have verde and hot sauce in a dirty looking bottle for you and room temperature tap water in a plastic dispenser. This place has a few bar seats and like 1 table. I literally was bumping into the guy and his 2 daughters sitting at the table everytime I stood up. It's mostly a take out place on a narrow street with limited parking. You're better off going to district taco across the street. read more

I tried Bandit Taco a few days ago, and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the authenticity of the cuisine- genuinely fresh corn tortillas, excellent meat (I had the skirt steak tacos), and lots of fresh spices and add-ons that made for one of the best tacos I've had in the DMV region. Their drinks are very good, too- I tried the house-made Hibiscus Flower and Lime beverages- a bit sweet, but very good flavors. Top it off with queso & chips and you've got a good meal, although a bit sparse (the taco was delicious but by no means large). The restaurant is housed in a colorfully painted space right off of Wisconsin Avenue, and the proprietor, Giorgio, is a friendly and engaging individual. He worked hard to make sure everything there met my needs. The only concern I have here is price, and it's not a totally justified one- the food quality is excellent, and you are going to pay a higher price for good food- it's just a fact. Given I paid about $15 for a smaller meal does make one think how frequently they will return to dine- it's all up to the patron, what they value, and what their food priorities are. If you love Latino food and are looking for a simpler, delicious meal, and don't mind paying a higher price for it, Bandit Taco is absolutely the place to go, hands down. I will be back, but how frequently depends on how heavy my wallet is at the moment. Having said this, I really hope this business makes it- the food is delicious, the service is great, and it's located in an ideal location if you live or commute along Wisconsin Avenue. read more

Stopped in for a second time and as always the staff was very courteous and nice which is a plus to have amazing customer service. My daughter loves the tofu burrito and I've tried the Korean beef, Baja fish and crispy shrimp tacos which were very tasty. I really like the the crispy shrimp so I think that will be my usual. LOL Although it's a quaint little spot, it's big on flavor. Worth stopping by for a try. read more

Awesome tacos. They have a wide assortment of tacos. Many kinds. My favorite is the adobe chicken taco. The Korean BBQ taco is also great.

Ate at this hole in the wall restaurant on Sunday...OMG, the food was good. My family had tacos and quesadillas and if I lived close to this place I would be back weekly. The food is so flavorful, the best of the best of Mexican food..Amazing, highly recommended. Fast, priced well, friendly staff...go here! read more

This place use to put sauce for your taco I'm your box. I haven't been in a while ordered 3 tacos, got home, no sauce. They were so DRY...I spent $20 dollars. When I called back the rep said they no longer give sauce you have to ask for it. Well...if it is takeout....I would assume you would ask the customer would they like sauce. The rep apologized...I guess that was sufficient, however, I don't live close and thought they would be a good place to get tacos in the area. read more
