Ixtapalapa Taqueria -- Gaithersburg, MD…read more I've eaten here more times than I can count and never once had a bad meal. That's a hard streak to keep, and they make it look easy. The taco lineup is the main event, various meats, all of them excellent, including chachete, which almost nobody around here serves. Beyond the tacos there's grilled cactus and other sides, soups, etc, and it's all flavorful and fresh every single time. Service is fast too. The margaritas are made from scratch and the hot mango salsa is worth a special mention all on its own. What really says it all: I don't even live close, but every time I'm coming back from Frederick I stop in and load up on tacos to enjoy over the next few days. I'd love nothing more than a location closer to home. The only mild adventure is turning left into the place with the traffic, but that's never once stopped me. Great food, great prices, great every time. 10/10.

My partner and I decided to try this out for lunch. We bought 2 Pollo, 2 Veggie and 1 Al Pastor…read moretacos, a couple bottles of water and a side of guacamole. You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

I had the salmon, which came with salad, black beans and rice. My partner had the Carne, with rice and black beans. We ordered the guac and chips as an appetizer. The chips are good. The guac had nice chunks of avocado, but tasted like it was in a green goddess dressing. It tasted good, but not what we expected. Our server surprised us with a dessert of carrot cake. It was delicious. The service was friendly and good.

They were better than I expected. All looks very appetizing and smell so good. It seems really homemade style, fresh ingredients and aromatic. The chicken empanadas are surprisingly huge and you got 2 pieces for $11, that is reasonable, for me. As well as Tacos cost just about $3-4 each, it is a soft Taco with corn tortilla and flavorful seasoned filling, plus green salsa - that's perfect combination. I have not much to say about service, as it was a take out by online order but it was smoothly pick-up, everything was ready and packed nicely when I was arrived. The restaurant is quite tiny and old building at the back, but there are plenty free parking available around. Mainly for take out order but I think you can dine-in too - there are some seating table inside and outside. The Trippy Taco menu seem variety and interesting. They have not only Taco, but also a lot selection of Burrito, Soup, Quesadillas, Sandwich. Nacho and Fries. Yes, don't judge a book by its cover before you explore it.

It felt very cozy , the walls are painted blue and has white square tiles on the floor, plus the beauty of the Mexican flag hung up on the walls for all to see. The employee was kind, and pickup was quick. I ordered two sopes of grilled chicken topped with a small slice of avocado & tomato, shredded lettuce & cheese (I asked for no sour cream) and they sure packed it up on that crispy thick tortilla! It was very filling and delicious & it comes with two spicy sauces (1 Green 1 Orange) on the side. This place left a great impression on me. ***on a side note, they have a taco Tuesday deal, 3 tacos for $10 :)

This is a homey place that does not look like much from the front (the weeks' old piles of snow in…read morethe street wasn't their fault), but the food was excellent. I ordered carryout, including a pulled chicken Gordita, a pulled goat meat Gordita for the same amount, some chicken tacos (soft flour shell with white meat grilled, chopped chicken topped with very little), and the Tacos Dorados (fried tacos stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with green salsa and cheese). Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch. Accompanying my food were two different sauces -- a red sauce that did not have much flavor, but was scorching hot on the palette and a green sauce that was very tasty and moderate in heat. Overall, an outstanding choice for authentic Mexican food that was very, very good.
