    Wife with drink
    Joel A.

    Second time here, had the chicken quesadilla wifey had the nachos borrachos. Both were good got a side of guacamole with chips. Did not care for the chips or the guacamole. Place was clean, they lose points because they allow kids come up to your table and try to sell trinkets while you are eating. A definite no-no and a reason not to return. Wide variety of drinks also beer. You order from a mounted screen so service was with little interference from staff

    Steak rice bowl

    Good portion! Everything was well seasoned and fresh. I had the steak bowl (grilled peppers, grilled corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese) and a large side of chips and guacamole. Chips were salted and the guacamole was fresh with a hint of citrus. After the bowl, I couldn't finish the chips but it wasn't for lack of trying! lol. 100x better than Chipotle and they give adult portions. Only issue - it arrived ice cold! like it was in the fridge. Quick reheat and it was all good.

    Really wasn't a fan. Ive had their tacos from another location before and really enjoyed it. This time I tried their burrito bowls and was so disappointed. The chicken and whole bowl overall was so bland and I had to put a ton of sauce. I tried two different bowl combinations too. Maybe next time i should get a different meat, but i don't think i'd get their bowls again. If you prefer a more fresh and light flavor over something heavier like chipotle I'd recommend this place!

    Stopped in after a night out on the town and the tacos were delish! I ate the rest of them before I could take a picture....

    Bowl with beef and lots of veggies

    This place was so empty on a Wednesday evening. Ordering was on a screen, which was fine until the screen stopped working just as we were about to pay. We moved over to another screen and didn't have further issues. Ordered chips and queso with pico de gallo. I thought this was pretty decent and a good portion for the cost. Food came out quickly and there was enough food for me to have 3 meals from this one dish. I think the quality of the meat could be better, but I got what I paid for! The restaurant itself is nothing to write home about, the trash was definitely very full when I went to throw out our queso container and the floor had that lightly sticky vibe. I'd come back and likely get a veggie only bowl.

    3 tacos (obvisouly, one shown :))

    Ordered for delivery. The tacos were great! The children enjoyed their portions also. In person- side street parking mainly. Sometimes the food staff are rude.

    Build your own Ensalada
    Rachel S.

    Came here for the first time for lunch on a weekend. We ordered the California burrito with carnitas and the Ensalada. Total came out to around $26. What's Hot - Menu. Pretty good variety on their menu. There's meat options, veggies, and vegan options. - Quality. Delicious and fresh. All the ingredients in my ensalada were fresh. The guacamole and sides of salsa were made fresh, as well. You can order a side of their spicy salsa, which has a nice small kick. Hubby's burrito wasn't too oily from the meats, which was good, because the oil didn't hide the flavor of the other ingredients. It's not the best Mexican food we've had, but it's delicious for fast casual. - Service. Our order was prepared timely and ready upon pickup. No issues. - Location. Easy to find in the plaza. Also conveniently located near other restaurants and shops. There is a seating area inside and a handful of tables outside, which is helpful when the weather is nice. - Price. Pretty reasonable, especially for the portions. My ensalada was approximately $13 and hubby's burrito was approximately $14. - Portions. Good amount to get you full. Good value for money. Hubby's burrito was so wide that he was getting bits of food on his nose. Haha... Hubby and I were able to get full just on individual meals alone. - Service. We ordered through GrubHub and the our order was ready in a decent amount of time. When we arrived to pick up our order, everything was ready in our takeaway bag. The fork that came with my salad also appeared to have been made from recycled or compostable material. That they're environmentally conscious is a plus. What's Not - Parking. To be fair, parking may only be problematic depending on the day and time you come. There are parking spots in the area, including a larger parking lot across the street for the Whole Foods. However, be prepared that parking may be difficult to find during busy days and times. Final Answer Reliable and dependable with good basic food. Would more than likely come back.

    This is what I ordered

    My order was complete in just under 50 minutes ago. I finished what I could eat, but I wanted to eat alllllll the food. So, going in, I didn't know what to expect; there were only two other people in here on a Saturday night. I ordered the 3 tacos and a bowl. Next time, I will get the bowl and maybe a quesadilla. The tacos and the salad tasted exactly the same- one without rice, the other w/o a tortilla. That was my bad. Why the 5 stars? Oh my goodness, this food was freeeeesssssssh!!! Like everything tasted clean and fresh. Rice and beans can often taste or look muddy- nope, it was clean. I could taste everything independently. I will certainly try again. The service was average but efficient.

    Chicken taco
    Mickei M.

    The most tasteless and unseasoned tacos I have ever had. There was zero flavor in the chicken and it was just super bland. I had one on the corn tortilla and one on the flour tortilla. I didn't enjoy either taco.

    Grabbed a "build your own" salad bowl during my lunch break. Super clean inside with easy to order screens. I built a salad with chorizo (really tasty) and various toppings along with chips and queso. I enjoyed my salad bowl, but my only complaint is they could've gave a little more chorizo along with the other toppings I ordered. Would've made the salad more enjoyable. Chips were delicious, the queso was "okay." 3.5 stars overall. I will come back to try their other options, their ingredients tasted fresh and I like the variety offered.

    No "reservation" option there.

    Not sure what was going on but they were very disrespectful. We have dined here so many times and now the last dine is going to be our last. We came in and no one said anything about limited seating. We saw all tables except for booths with paper and pencils. No sign "reserved" or any communication about that. We ordered via kiosk, paid and gave a tip. We proceed to sit at the table to being told we can't sit there. No explanation why and I asked where can we sit. The guy pointed at the booth which was good for 2 people. We had 2 small kids with us so I told him there wasn't a room. He shrugged and pointed that we are to sit at 2 separate booths. No, thank you. We came to dine as a family so I told him I'd like for us to sit together. He moved the table of one booth to make the table bigger but still no room for us to sit. So I asked him about the chairs for the extra table. He shrugged and walked away. I was appalled. The cookers were looking at us like they didn't care. I asked him if we were supposed to eat standing up? He just rudely ignored us so I asked for a refund. There was just no way we would pay for a restaurant that does not treat us with respect. When the guy saw I asked for refund, he took two chairs from the table and put at booth. Why couldn't have he done it way before? Why couldn't have he showed the care about our patronage and made sure we were welcomed by making things possible for us? And this restaurant does not take reservations so I have no idea what the hold up of all chairs not at the booth. We walked to Santa Rosa Taqueria who treated us way better. We appreciate Santa Rosa and their food was really good. If you are looking for a good quick Mexican with workers that care, Santa Rosa Taqueria is your to go!

    I've been to District Taco a couple times. The prices are pretty good. The restaurant is clean and has nice outdoor seating. The restaurant style is a little similar to chipotle where you make your own bowl, burrito, etc. My favorite thing to get is the bowl with chicken. The chicken has a nice char on it which gives it extra flavor. I also love their salsas and chipotle mayo. The guacamole is a 5/5. It has a lot of lime in it which I love. The portion size is also great. A large quac and chips is good for two people and the chips taste great. The only thing is that the portion sizes are a little small. For example my boyfriend ate two burritos instead on one because one wasn't filling enough. I also noticed my bowl seemed a little smaller than chipotle but I definitely think it tastes better. So I guess the price evens out with other places but I believe the food tastes better so its a matter of quality vs quantity. District Taco will definitely become a regular fixture for me especially with it being so close to UMD!

    First time trying District Taco. I'm impressed. Upon entering your greeted and can feel the good ventilation inside the place. The employees are very friendly and are all wearing masks correctly. Also the place was spotless. The floors and tables were very clean. The pricing isn't bad. A little high though. But it's 2021 so it's kinda expected. The presentation of the food visible was amazing. Everything looked super fresh. They have sorta a open kitchen like Chipotle. Upon getting the food. I asked for water cups and were given free cups which is a plus. When I sat down and tasted the food. I could tell it was gonna be good just from the appearance. When I tasted the chicken with some of the lettuce with the nachos. I was amazed at how fresh the lettuce tasted. Probably the best lettuce I tasted in my time. The toppings were all fresh tasting. The vibe of the place was hipster and cool looking being close to the UMD campus. The only downfall was the portion sizes of the meat on the nachos. It could've had a little bit more chicken included. But filled up on nachos and the ultra good tasting lettuce anyway so I was happy. The general crowd here was mainly Uber eats & door dash people coming and going. There were a few people dining in. Mainly adults and some college kids. Middle class. Noise level was normal also. Lastly. The area around the restaurant is very well heavily lit which is good for public safety and the grounds looked very well maintained. A++++

    It had been 12 years since my last visit, and over a decade later--this place did not disappoint…read more On our way out to enjoy the weather, I stopped in with my cousins and we ate very well. We shared the corn, which was perfectly sweet and tangy, ordered three lemonades, and tried a handful of tacos. The taco de lengua was tender and moist without being fatty, the barbacoa was savory with just the right hint of sweetness, and the carne asada was hearty, meaty, and full of flavor. We wrapped things up with a flan that was creamy and custardy--exactly how it should be. The packed parking lot says it all about this place's popularity. Don't miss out.

    This place is ALWAYS poppin'. This taqueria has been here for years! I can't think of many times…read morewhen this place isn't packed, busy, or having multiple parking spots open. There are definitely a variety of taco choices. I haven't been unsatisfied yet. There is a small eating area inside away from the bottleneck area where people order and pick up their food but I don't think I'd ever want to eat inside since it's way too busy and the ambiance would be too hectic for me to deal with. There are other choices of sides or extras like maíz loco (corn on the cob with a variety of toppings like mayo, catsup, crumbled cheese, tajín...your choices), dried pork rinds, chicharrón (chewier and crispy version of the pork rinds), atole (hot, masa-based beverage made from corn dough, water or milk, sweetened with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla). There are quick desserts to go too. I would highly recommend ordering ahead so you can get in and out or figuring out the less congested times. I've come during the dinner rush hours time but hadn't been planning on getting it ahead of time. I definitely recommend this place and will continue to come back.

    I thought I had done a revue of this spot but I guess not! I would give them a 3.75 stars because…read moreof the amount of food that was really good and the server. The actual restaurant/bar drinks and bathrooms is the issue needs to definitely be updated. So back to the good part of the review: the food. Now I love me some Birria tacos and usually they are the size of a small corn tortilla...but not these! When she brought me out these ginormous (3) tacos I couldn't believe my eyes! They were the size of my open hand past my wrist! Now my pictures don't do them any justice because it took me 2-3 days to finish them and the side of Mexican rice which was also so big! So be aware that you will have food to take home for lunch or to eat later as I'm a grazer myself...lol. Now the margaritas were not good at all and tasted premade which for an authentic Mexican a spot as this seems to be should be a no-no! I did like the salsa that tasted homemade and asked if I could take a side of it home! As usual I love finding a diamond in the rough and this is definitely it! Great food and service horrible margaritas.

This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency!
