Hole in the wall Mexican/Salvadorian spot on Colombia pike You have to walk upstairs in order to get to the place, which is divided into both a small bar section and dining section The menu is pretty straightforward, but they also have a few unique combinations such as "barria ramen". The best aspect of this place is that prices are very cheap and our server was very friendly My fiance and I came here for dinner. She got 3 tacos and I got a cheese birrria burrito. Neither of us were impressed read more

Disclaimer - I did not eat my food fresh it was scheduled for pick up. I really really want to like this place and I am going to give it another shot. I love foods from the entire central and south Americas. There is something about those places that every-time I have visited, I have been tragedy with kindness and they feel like home especially Costa Rica, Mexico and Colombia. Now coming to this place, I never have crazy high expectations from a place until unless it is fine dine. That said this place is super cute and the staff is extremely lovely. However the food did knock me out of my The meat lacked seasoning especially in the chicken, lingua and steak tacos. That's all! I shall return though to try more food. So far 3/5. read more

This is a great spot. Not only is the food delicious, but the prices are great too. This is a very non-descript place that I've been overlooking but am glad I found it. There's not many places to park but parking is free. Service is very good and welcoming, with a casual atmosphere. There's a reasonable size menu to choose from. I went for two chorizo tacos and one chicken. I found the chicken to be the better option, but enjoyed both. Also, my wife and I shared esquites, which was absolutely delicious. Finally, we finished off our meals with a tamarind drink and a jamaica drink, both of which were tasty. read more

Food was good maybe a 3.8/4. We were the only ones in there. The place wasn't noticeably dirty but it definitely needs a deep clean. Food came out pretty quick, and although it wasn't the most flavorful food I would try again. read more

I hate writing a mediocre review, especially since the staff was so lovely. But I thought the food left much to be desired. The Pupusa was dry and bland. Tacos birria only came with a little consume. Steak burrito was very chewy. Fairly priced, kind server. read more

The food was amazing. The service was warm and welcoming. The street corn was amazing. read more

Great hole in the wall! Very clean and quiet place. Easy parking available out front and then walk up stairs to get to the restaurant. We ordered then sat anywhere. Food came within 10-15 minutes of ordering and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered two pupusas and one order of birria tacos and the steak burrito. Everything was really good! High quality meat and execution of meals. Price for everything was about $30. It's hard to find good spanish food in Virginia and this really lived up to west coast spanish food!! Would definitely come back again! read more

Tried this place tonight after reading about it on Yelp's top 100, though It is listed as a different name on there or has changed it since the list. Service was great and attentive. Very friendly and offered lots of recommendations of their favs which I always appreciate. Went with the popular carne asada fries and the chicken, Birria and carne asada. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I do think it is kinda hard to find good street tacos in the DMV area so was very happy to find some really flavorful and obviously marinated meat for each of the ones I got. Need to come back to try so many other menu items As far as ambiance it is your kind of hole in the wall type of place but in a good way and not a scary way haha. I do wish they served beer or wine, but oh well guess I don't need a beer with my street tacos haha. Do yourself the favor and make the trip to try! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Service was amazing and food was outstanding. You gotta checkout their Birria tacos!

I ordered takeout today; I ordered chicken quesadillas, a side of Guacamole, and a drink that I didn't receive. My total came up to $22, which I thought was too expensive. It was frustrating when I realized that I didn't receive the drink I paid for when I got home. The restaurant was completely empty, so my order should have been double-checked to ensure no items were missing. The meal itself wasn't pleasant. The chicken quesadillas gave me heartburn because they were oily and more cheese was piled on than protein. The side of rice was cold, and I could tell it was not fresh. For the price and overall, I don't think it was worth the money and I wouldn't return. read more

Came by to this taco place after reading reviews online. Seemed promising. As soon as I stepped inside, I noticed there were around 3 other groups of people sitting at their tables waiting for their food. No one was present at the counter, and I waited for 10 minutes until someone came out of the kitchen. No greeting and she just stared at me - i told her what i wanted - she pointed to the card reader and the walked away. The whole time she just looked at me confused. No confirmation of what I just ordered, didn't confirm the cost, no thank you. This whole customer service experience was strange and unprofessional. I understand that restaurants my be short-staffed, and I don't expect over the top service but at least acknowledge it or say SOMETHING - the basics were incredibly lacking. read more

Yum birria tacos and ramen! Eli's Taqueria opened about a month ago, and for those who are NoVA foodies, yes they are in the spot where NoNos Taqueria was. But we are here to talk about Eli's Taqueria. They are a no frills, "hole in the wall" stop for tacos, specifically birria tacos. Slow cooked beef bathed in consumme broth, wrapped in warm cheese and a crunch outer shell. Yum. I was also thrilled to see they had birria ramen as well as I've found this dish hard to come by. Service was quick, and food was delicious. 4/5 as I felt the tacos could have had a extra spoonful of meat for that wowfactor. Can't wait to see how this new business fares out! read more

Phenomenal tacos and great people. Came here to get some birria from Noños, only to discover Noños was no longer operating here. Stuck around to see how this new place was and... wow. As a recent NOVA transplant from South Texas, I've struggled to find good tacos here. This place is phenomenal, just as good as any place you'll find in south Texas or So-Cal, and the star dish is anything with asada. The asada is beautifully seared and seasoned, and they add a generous portion whether on the tacos or the fries. I've already come twice in their first week opening. The Birria is also excellent. Service-wise, the person running the front (I think her name is Alex) is so sweet and friendly. Makes it all the easier to come back. read more

This is my go to stop when I'm craving Pupusas. I used to order from their food truck, Taqueria La Ceibita on Columbia Pike. I was very excited when I learned that they had opened a brick and mortar right down the street as well. Both are still in operation. We have tried all of the pupusa flavors, and all of them are really good, but my favorites are the Revuelta, and Frijol com Queso. On my most recent visit, I tried their Esquites for the first time. The flavors were all there, but I do prefer my corn to have more crunch and a char to it, still good though. I also tried their Queso Birria taco. The flavor of the taco is good, and I appreciate the fact that they automatically provide you with a small consommé. They have a large dining room if you would like to eat in, but you can also order takeout. Their full menu is available online. Everything is made to order. Very small parking lot, kind of tough to get in and out of, but there is also street parking if you can find a spot. read more
