    All I can say is WOW. I got their birria tacos and they were delicious! They have so many items to chose from and they had great outdoor seating with shade. Service was a little slow but besides that, food was great! Please try this place!

    Hot Cheeto Esquite (Corn in a Cup)
    Sylvia D.

    Again this is my favorite go-to taco place. I had the corn this time and it was just amazing!!!! I can't get over how good their food is each time. The cashier was nice and polite as always and took my order quickly. There was a bit of a wait but nothing crazy for our food to come out. The place is a cute had plenty of option to sit down and eat.

    Best tacos ever. Offers a variety of other Mexican snacks and treats. Will definitely come again. It's an outdoor food stall with lots of outdoor seating. Once you order your food, you get a buzzer and pick up your food at another window. Tacos come with a few cucumber slices and radishes and two sauce packets. Love how each taco got its own lime wedge. 1. Chicken tinga (5/5): never had chicken so juicy. hard taco shell was the move. Good cheese too. 2. Al pastor (4.8/5): Sweet and juicy pork meat. Definitely worth. 3. Carne Asada (4/5): Super tasty, first non dry carne asada I've had in a while. 4. Hot Cheetos Esquites (4/5): A tad bit watery but still super yummy and delicious. Serving was a bit small for my liking but its ok:)

    Very good taco spot in Silver Spring MD. Their tacos taste pretty authentic. If you like corn, do not skip out on their elote! This location started opening up earlier at 6:30am to serve breakfast. Hot chocolate was okay.

    Steak, vegetable, and flor de calabaza tacos
    Breanne R.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, but was hesitant because I'm pescatarian and they don't have too many options for me. Veggie tacos are typically lackluster but this was definitely not the case here. The cheese and salsa were a great touch. I also really liked their corn tortillas. I enjoyed the vegetable taco more than the "the flor de calabaza", but even that one wasn't bad. The esquite was also tasty. I will definitely be back!

    Outside seating - not just a typical grab and go food truck

    Never fails to be tasty, always worth the wait! Their estimates could be better, i always need to wait 5-15 mins more for my food, but again. Worth the wait! My go tos: chicken birria, beef birria, and chorizo y papa

    3 taco sets of Birria and al pastor tacos
    Yoo C.

    We ordered online, but after being able to check in with the cashier. They were able to get it ready for us faster than the expected time! THANK YOU! We got 2 orders of 3 different tacos. The birria tacos are hands down delicious! It comes with the birria stew which you use to dip your taco in. It is a little messy, but what food doesn't come with a little bit of a mess? If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, this is a must-try! Their al pastor was delicious as well! It's on the sweet side with pineapples and a must-try. I was definitely a fan of their green sauce as well! There's lots of seating, even though parking can be a little confusing in front of their trunk. But there are many different parking spots available apart from that. The staff was very kind, I'm just grateful again for the service!

    Delicious food! I was first introduced to this business from a Yelp elite experience. I had been meaning to come back on my own and didn't until recently. Parking is tight. Easy to place an order at one truck and pickup from the adjacent truck. There's plenty of seating (outdoor). Friendly employees! I got carne asada tacos - liked them. The prices were fair!

    Birria and quesadilla

    Amazing food and big portions! Their birria tacos and steak quesadilla are so good with super good cheese. Loved the hot sauces too. Nice sitting area also.

    Menu (3/4/25)
    Xavier I.

    Tuesday 3/4/25 I made a call for takeout, and the phone service could've been better, but luckily the in-person service I experienced was a lot better. I got the birria con consommé quesadillas $16, al pastor taco $3.65, carne asada taco $3.65, tinga de pollo taco $3.65, pineapple: agua Fresca $3, mangonada $6, pastel de tres leches $4.50, and the Oreo mousse cake $4.50. Just some notes before we get to the food: I made the call in order at 12:07 pm and the food was ready by 12:40 pm, I was looking forward to the churro cheesecake but it was out of stock, and lastly I should've been charged $10.75 for the 3 tacos meal but instead they charged me individually for each taco. - The birria con consommé quesadillas were GOOD and fairly priced. The quesadillas were cheesy, the birria meat was good, and it paired very well with the consommé. - The Al pastor taco was alright and I'd probably rank it as the second best taco of the three. - The carne asada was decent and easily the best of the 3 tacos. Steak tacos done well are always good. - The tinga de pollo taco was the weakest of the 3 tacos, the chicken had no flavor. - The pastel de tres leches (with cinnamon) surprised me as it was one of the better tres leches desserts that I've had and it's only $4.50. - The mangonada was an experience (to say the least) as it was my first time having one. I best describe this as an acquired taste because it's popular, but I wasn't a fan. - The Pineapple: Agua Fresca was mediocre. It was watered down, and the pineapple flavor I was looking forward to was not present. - The Oreo mousse cake was alright, but I wouldn't get it again. My experience at Tacos Don Perez was mostly good, and I would be open to coming back to try more items. Hopefully, the churro cheesecake will be available next time.

    Three tacos for $11
    Kwame S.

    I'm kind of sad that I found this place. Since it's really close to my gym, I have a feeling that I might undo my workouts by stopping at Tacos Don Perez for a post-workout meal. Tacos Don Perez is pretty much a large, outdoor taco stand that has a great variety of tacos and other Mexican dishes. For my order, I went with three tacos (I forget which ones I ordered). Overall, I thought my tacos were perfectly prepared. After finishing the tacos, I wished that I had ordered a few more. Also, the prices is pretty much on par with other places in the area. I believe my three tacos were about $11. If you visit outside of regular lunch hours (or before the kiddos are dismissed from school), the service is pretty fast. However the lines can be a bit long, which I guess confirms that this is a good place for tacos. The only downside to this spot are: 1. It's outdoors, so it probably will not be fun to eat here during the winter. 2. It's in a parking lot near a gas station, so you might smell a bit of gas while consuming your tacos. I definitely plan on returning to try more things from the menu.

    Lengua half tray
    Diana D.

    This place is like a hidden gem. It's stationed outside a small gas station and the first time I couldn't find it. Saturday afternoon was pretty chill as there were tables filled with customers. Not fully packed but just enough. We ordered a half tray of the lengths tacos. Two refreshments, Pineapple & tamarind! We didn't have to wait long for our order as we just sat down at one of the picnic tables they had set up outside. Food tasted yummy. The drinks made everything better together. Will definitely have to come back to try the elotes!!

I think they adjusted their lighting a little bit -- it was quite dim, and from the outside it looked pitch black. My friend made a reservation for 10 (only 6 showed), but it was fine and I feel like I always sit at the exact same table haha. The staff were very kind and asked if the first to arrive wanted to wait for others, and yes... yes we did. Once everyone arrived we dove right in and everyone enjoyed everything. We had every type of sangria and some of the highlighted foods were the mejillones, platanos, empanadas, pancakes -- on wait, let me speak on the pancakes for a second. A few times when I previously came they weren't sweet potato. I forget what the reason was, but while they and the syrup were still fantastic, I really missed the sweet potato element. But that's back now, and all is right with the world YAY! The eggs benedicts, patatas bravas, datiles, French toast, and huevos rancheros were highlights too. I think it's new, but they have a note that indicates there will be a charge for excess leftover food. I wonder when they added that?? We did an excellent job of eating literally everything, and everyone was satisfied at the end. The staff did an excellent job of checking in on us, gave us plenty of time for last call, and were so diligent. Mind you it wasn't crowded... but listen, it needs to be. I believe even the owner came by asking how everything was, and wished us well on our way out. It's been around a long time... if you haven't been to La Malinche yet, do yourself a favor and go. They have happy hour on weekdays, but the bottomless brunch... it's $41/pp now. Higher than ever, but still the best deal around.

Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

The plates are huge and very heavy and the waitress dropped one behind my friend and her shirt and purse got all splattered on! Leather purses get stained with oils! They didn't offer her anything until she and a few of us kept asking (not even a discount on her food or a drink!). At the very end after we all paid and started dancing, they kept her waiting at the table to see what the manager will do while we were dancing. Ruined her night and she got a $25 GC in return - they could've voided her payment instead because she definitely does not want to return!
