    Beef and chicken taco
    Chastity C.

    The tacos were quite flavorful and reasonable priced! The staff was very polite and made suggestions based on what I wanted. It had a good vibe with great music playing! Highly recommend!

    The location is well maintained. Upon entering there is a bar to the right. There is a general seating area, and even outside seating. I made way to the counter to place an order. I asked for recommendations for the different taco options. I went with one Ribeye and one Al Pastor, to go. I will be returning to dine at the location. Both the Ribeye and Al Pastor meats were well prepared and seasoned. The portion size was generous. Several condiments were included. The hot sauce is very hot by the way. I used a little of that and mostly the mild sauce. Overall I am very happy with the food.

    This is a great local Mexican spot in Germantown. I highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Mexican food. When I went we sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice and attentive. If you sit at a regular table you order at the counter and the give you a number and then bring you the food. We had ordered the chip trio dip and wow the chips came out HOT and ready to eat, they were crunchy and sooo good! the dips were really good too! I shared the tacos chicken dorados witch were also crunchy and delicious. And I also shared some tacos birria with consume! This was the bite of the night! It was loaded with meat and hot with cheese and it comes with onions and cilantro on the side. Everything was very filling! For drinks I got the hibiscus cocktail. This was so good and light! And they candy the hibiscus for garnish! Highly recommend this place

    Good food, at affordable prices. We got nachos and Hawaiian pizza. Good service, and Mexican ambiance.

    Birria taco

    Wow this place is sooo good! I went here with a friend for dinner and we fell in love with the tacos. I ordered 3 tacos: Birria, fried fish (pescado frito), and beef rib (suadero). Everything was super flavorful. The fish taco was fried to perfection. The beef was tender. The Birria was my favorite! I also like the portion of the tacos. They did not skimp out on the meat. Also highly recommend getting the esquites for a side and horchata for a drink. I like how they have both indoor and outdoor seating. I will definitely come here for Happy Hour next time.

    Tuesday 2/4/25 This is an updated review as it's been nearly one and a half years since my last visit. I got a mix of new items and items I enjoyed last time to get a better feel for the restaurant experience. I spent $43.71 through online ordering from Toast and got the birria pizza $17, frachos $10, plantain hush puppies $6.75, the taco: pescado frito (fried fish) $3.75, and the taco: el camaron (shrimp) $3.75. - This was my first time experiencing a birria pizza, and it wasn't quite as good as the birria taco with consome experience I had previously had. It was solid and different from what I had expected. When I first came across Birria pizzas online, I would best describe it as 2 tortillas with the ingredients layered, but this one was more of a straight-up pizza, AND not having any consome with it was a missed opportunity. - The frachos were alright, and luckily you get a lot of food for the price you pay. The fries themselves are pretty weak as they weren't seasoned or crispy. - The plantain hush puppies were a huge favorite of mine last visit and they're still good as usual. - The fried fish and shrimp tacos were solid, but the corn tortillas hindered the experience (I prefer flour tortillas). Overall, the spot is good but just not as good as I remembered, and with that being said, I'd still be open to a return.

    As soon as you come in La Gula you're greeted with smiles, the play list is the Best!! I ordered the chicken flauta made to perfection, super fresh and delicious. The place has lots of seating, bring the family and enjoy the menu. I can't wait to come back and taste the rest of the menu. This place also has great drinks!! Come check them out!

    Great service! Food was solid. Loved the tajin rim on the margarita. The Al pastor pizza was incredible!

    One of the Best Value Mexican Restaurants in Town! This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots in town. It has a chill, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and catching up with friends. The food is consistently delicious, the service is always friendly, and the cocktails? Amazing -- and all around $10! It's rare to find a place that delivers great taste, atmosphere, and unbeatable value all in one. Highly recommend if you're craving Mexican food without breaking the bank!

    The inside is cute and has great natural lighting. The food was so good. It came out hot and flavorful. The tacos had a generous amount of carne, when you took a bite some spills out. Exactly how a taco should be. The consume was good. We just needed one to share for all the tacos. The carne tacos hit, no notes. I love that they put the tubes of sauce on the table. Not pictured but so good. The salsa verde is not spicy but the perfect amount of flavor. The yellow sauce might be spicy to some but it's also so flavorful and perfect on your food. The service was great as well.

    Worst place to order takeout or dinner in you would wait for 45 minutes for a sup never again.

    We love the tacos and salsa here at Ixtapalapa, The salsa…read moreis really good because they have spicy ones. The only thing to be warned about is finding a spot to sit if you get here during the dinner rush. Other than that it is a must try!! A few of our favorites: Steak tacos Chicken tacos Veggie tacos Chilaquiles!!!

    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.
