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.

It was very filling and delicious & it comes with two spicy sauces (1 Green 1 Orange) on the side.

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.

I have been coming to this restaurant for over six years, and after today's experience, I will…read morenever return. I called in an order for carne asada and a grilled chicken burrito. When my husband brought the food home, we realized we had been given a shredded beef burrito instead of grilled chicken. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with the same employee who took my order. She repeated what I had originally ordered and admitted that she entered it incorrectly in the system. She apologized and told me they would remake the correct burrito and that it would be ready for pickup in 15 minutes. My husband drove back to the restaurant, only to be told by the owner that they would not give him the replacement burrito unless he returned the incorrect one. That would have been completely understandable had we been told that before he made a second trip to the restaurant. When I called to address the situation, the owner explained that when an employee makes a mistake, the employee has to pay for the food and takes the incorrect food home. He was concerned about replacing the burrito without getting the original back because someone had to pay for it. Respectfully, how the restaurant chooses to handle employee mistakes internally has nothing to do with me as a paying customer. The restaurant admitted the mistake was theirs, and I simply expected them to correct it. Instead of trying to resolve a very simple issue, the owner became extremely rude and dismissive and told me to bring all of the food back and he would refund my entire order. When I arrived at the restaurant, the interaction became even worse. He again acknowledged that the employee had entered my order incorrectly but continued arguing with me over a mistake I did not make. He then accused me of "always having issues" when I come to his restaurant, which is simply untrue. In more than six years of patronizing this business, I have never returned a meal. I have even found a hair in my food in the past, brought it to their attention, and STILL paid for my meal without making an issue of it. What bothered me most was the complete lack of respect. I told him directly that I felt like I was being treated like sh** in front of an entire restaurant full of people, despite being a longtime customer and despite his own employee admitting that the restaurant made the mistake. His response was essentially to take the food back and refund everything rather than simply correct the order. I have the entire encounter recorded, so there is no confusion about how this situation was handled. Mistakes happen. I was never upset that the wrong burrito was made. The problem was how the owner chose to handle a simple mistake after it was acknowledged. A loyal customer should not be argued with, embarrassed, or treated disrespectfully because of an error made by the restaurant. After more than six years and hundreds of visits, I never expected to be treated this way. Unfortunately, this experience has completely changed how I view this establishment, and I will not be returning.

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.

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.

My friend and I had a taste for tacos so we thought we should try this place. I am always in that area and always wanted to try them so why not. The food was great. I ordered the carne asada quesadillas and my friend ordered the carne asada burrito bowl. Both had great flavor. The meat was cooked to the right temperature and had great seasoning. I only wish the tortilla for the quesadilla was cooked a little more. I would have enjoyed a good crunch. The burrito bowl was delicious as well. Very filling but not too heavy. The service was good.
