    Chicken tacos
    Tamara M.

    I first tried DMV Taqueria at a Yelp event. Immediately, the next day I drove out to their spot on the side of the road. The set up is nice. They have tables set up if you don't want to take your food to go or eat in your car. The service is pretty quick. I might of waited ten minutes for my order of chicken tacos. I'm not a corn tortilla lover but however they make their tortillas have changed my mind. The first time tried them they had a crisp text to them. They reminded me of a soft chip. There is no gritty taste to them. The chicken is seasoned down! It's so tednder and flavorful. I liked the red and the green sauce. I just poured it all over everything. I'll try something else the next time I pass through.

    Had their food truck- tacos still amazing! Super busy but didn't have to wait too long to get my order of shrimp tacos. Not a bad price for them either, and super delicious. The red sauce is good but their green sauce really hit the spot!

    Phew! It was a HOT day! The truck was outside and the staff was working hard with smiles. After placing my order, I sipped my drink that didn't stay cold for long. The food was ready much quicker than I expected and I was relieved. My favorite dish is the shrimp tacos. You can't go wrong with the Birria though. Yum!!

    These were hands down the best tacos I've ever tasted. I usually stay away from corn tortillas, but these were phenomenal -- fresh, slightly crispy, and absolutely delicious. We tried the Birria tacos, which were loaded with flavorful meat, along with the shrimp tacos that packed a pretty decent punch. My favorite, hands down, was the sauce on the shrimp tacos -- it brought everything together perfectly. Great food, great people and definitely a spot worth visiting again.

    The truck was at the Puerto Rican festival at the Sandy Spring Museum today. We got here kind of late and all we've done is eat so far , also nice to hear the Plena band playing. Ordered steak burrito, which thankfully I split with my sister because it was huge. Really tasty, didn't even need the sauces. Daughter had chicken quesadilla, huge too and really god too. Husband tried getting the tripleta sandwich but no bread left, so he got it with the fries. He seemed to like it but it was kind of messy, luckily he ate it with fork from the container.

    Birria Tacos

    Birria tacos. Unreal. Usually I stay away from them because it feels like they're the trendy thing to order and most places they're not seasoned great. Great seasoning and flavor here. Both the green and red salsas are delicious too. The service was super helpful with recommendations and also very quick. 5 minute turn around. It's a taco truck so I was happy they had picnic tables with umbrellas and even trash cans. Not trashy around and tables were good wood. Must try.

    This is my favorite taco truck. I was referred here thru a yelp event. Had to return. I love the shrimp tacos. One of my favorites. Parking is tricky. There's a nearby business parking lot. I also noticed they added more outdoor benches and tables. Right next to the carwash. I ordered extra meat on this visit. The only thing different that I noticed was my radish was extra sharp. Didn't experience that on my last visit. So was a little surprised. I love the sauces that comes with the meals. Especially the green sauce. We were in the highland area and stopped by. I enjoyed my shrimp as usual and definitely will return. This order was placed online and was ready the time as promised.

    Steak burrito
    Carli O.

    Absolutely love this food truck! My birria tacos are always delicious, flavorful and filling. My fiancé felt his steak burrito was okay... the steak was a little on the salty side and there was no guacamole.

    Hey friends! I was in the area, went for a walk nearby at Lake Elkhorn, & decided to stop by. I discovered this place from the Grab &Go Yelp event earlier this year! I ordered the shrimp tacos. They took about 10 minutes. They were delicious. Unfortunately not as flavorful and spicy as my first visit. But I love that the ingredients always taste fresh. It comes with fresh limes and two sauces. -Customer Service was good. -This is a food truck outside of a gas station, so parking is very limited. I was able to find street parking. -There a few tables outdoors to dine at. -Prices are great! $14 for three tacos. I'm excited to return and try their churros. I hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

    I have been here a few times and it's always a good experience. Service is always fast. Stopped in this day for some steak tacos. It's located right next to the Banneker Fire station and the Exxon gas station. There are only a few parking spots on the street and the gas station can be hectic. I chose to head over to the office building right next to the gas station. Since I went on a Saturday the building was closed and there was plenty of space available to park. I placed my order and it was ready within a few minutes. As always the steak was flavorful and cooked well done. Surprisingly not dry at all. Great experience and I will definitely be back again soon. I work in the area so I stop here at least once a month.

    Is there a way I can present this establishment with 6 stars? My goodness; I 100000% understand why this food truck is on the Top 100 Places to Eat list. I ordered the churros, birria empanadas, and a shrimp, chicken and birria taco (yes, all 3), and the only thing I needed additionally was someone to drive me home from this parking lot! Literal 5 stars, and all pictured. It was a great idea for the food truck to give out buzzers for ordering, as I noticed a lot of customers either dine close to the truck at provided benches, walk a few feet to the gas station, vacuum station or car wash in the same parking lot, or simply walk next door to the other food truck. I would order from DMV Taqueria for dining-"in" orders, pick up orders, in the area orders, just back orders. Love love loveeee this place and cannot wait to have it again!

    The food was so delicious. The service was pretty good even though there was so much crowd. I have fallen in love with their churros. The crunch on the outside and dulce de leche filing on the inside was just perfect kind of sweetness for me!

    Beef Birria
    Khiem H.

    I'll start with the food is amazing! It's the best beef birria ever. The food also came quick. There's also a lot of seating. I'd definitely recommend come again. The tacos also had a lot of meats in it.
