“I have been a long time customer of the truck but live in Kensington, and am thrilled they have opened! Their food is always amazing, they never disappoint!Vegetarian options: My favorite vegetarian option is the mushroom tacos! Soooooo good! ?“
“Great spot for a large party, amazing service and delicious food. Wine by the bottle is very reasonable and cocktails are well made.The sense of humor is delightful as demonstrated with the photo hung in the bathroom in a place that is sore to catch your eye ?“

“We picked this place because we were really hungry and it was close to the route we'd chosen to take north from DC (a less hectic and more scenic alternative to Interstate 95).For once Google reviews didn't fail us -- the raves are spot on. The food is made in house (even salsas, which are good enough to be bottled and sold in upscale stores.) Watching meals being prepared is inspiring; the care taken to assemble each order is impressive. (The guacamole is made fresh for each one.)But it's worth the short wait -- the food is delicious. Our burritos were massive and stuffed not with filler but things you really want to eat. We lived in California for years; it could be the best we've ever eaten.It may be in a gas station but there's a table right there if you want to eat in (as we did) and a clean rest room close by. Who cares about atmo when you're on a long drive?Next time we'll pick the route so we can eat there again!“
“I really enjoyed eating at Samantha’s! I was so surprised to walk in and see a lot of families eating in there, which told me this was a popular spot with potentially a lot of returning customers. We ordered the argentine steak that was supposed to come with a chimichurri sauce but didn’t appear present on the steak, more so “flavored” chimichurri I guess.. and I ordered beef and ribs fajitas. The rice and beans were really good and tasty. I enjoyed my beef fajitas, but the ribs were a little too saucy and more American bbq tasting than Latino style. I see that they have a pork ribs entree on the menu which I may try next time to see if they’re any but different than the fajitas.I really liked that they had a large menu with many options so we can try different stuff each time we come back. Will be returning soon with local family!“
“We love the food here. There are many good options although we often go back to same ones because they are so good - Montaditos, Buey al Jerez, patatas bravas, esparragos, chuleta, veiras, to name just a few. With the great choices even the younger members of the family find food they love. And the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We've eaten here for many years and will continue to do so!“

District taco is the best !!! ?♥️Kid-friendliness: Great staff“
“NAILED IT!! First Timers and we absolutely enjoyed this place. We were unsure if we could get crispy tacos from online descriptions- as we were “Jones-ing” all week for a Crispy taco. So we called to verify prior to ordering on Uber. Nice young lady answered and told us how to make order. FAST, delicious, hot and so flavorful. We can’t wait to have more experiences, hoping to get the same everything- every time.We thought price point was applicable and size was appropriate.The hot sauce was such a painful- delight!Thank You,The Jones“
“Well this is the second time, the first time I ate Menudo it was very good but the truth is they take too long to serve you, and now I better ordered by phone so I wouldn't have to wait I ordered a Cuban cake and the truth is I have no idea what part of Cuba it was because It is totally different from the Cuban cakes I have eaten, but it was really delicious.“
“Food was FIRE. Ordered rotisserie chicken, and fajitas. Very tasty! So much flavor. Yellow rice was pretty good too. I ordered cole slaw as a side, and it was good but it seemed as if it was blended, mushy. Overall I would recommend this place.“
“Taqueria Ajua is one of the few food trucks you'll find in the large parking lot, by the Unique thrift store. You can't miss it, as it's silver in color and is the only one with the long lines!The menu is simple, offering tacos, tortas, quesdillas, burritos, platters, and various specials, such as the birria).We came here for lunch, and we ordered:+a pollo taco - this tasted much better than it looked, but the chicken could have been more flavorful+a carne asada taco - wasn't really a fan of the flavors of the carne asada, as it was bland+birria - comes as a set of 3 or 4; probably one of the best birrias we've had on the east coast! These were crispy, and the filling of the birria was super generous, flavorful, and even heightened when dipping in the consommé +barbacoa de res - comes as a set of 3 or 4; these were generously filled with the shredded beef; definitely better when dipped in the birria's consommé +and, horchata - wasn't a fan of this drink, as it had an off-putting floral note to it; didn't like this rendition of itService was super friendly and welcoming! There's also a table with a handful of chairs if you'd like to enjoy your food; most seem to call ahead or get their orders to go.Definitely would come back for their birria!Plenty of parking in the large lot.+delicious birrias!+friendly service!+plenty of parking“
“This place is a hidden gem. Inexpensive, authentic, and delicious Latin American food. The pupusas and tacos are great. There are other things on the menu but I’ve never tried them, because once you’ve tried the pupusas and tacos it’s hard to order anything else.“
“This place is so much better than Chipotle! Much better food for basically the same price. Oh, and you feel good after eating here too. I recommend the sweet/spicy chicken; it's really good if you're into that kind of thing.In the restaurant you order in a line the same way you might at Chipotle.“
“Stopped by for some tacos after work and had excellent service ... I ordered 3 beef tacos. The flavor was excellent with not too much salt. I enjoyed the freezing cold beer and the work of icing your beer and serving it cold has not gone unnoticed amigos.“
“I stopped by this place because I literally can't say no to new taco spots. We tried the Mexican Way and American Way tacos and both were delicious. It's 3 tacos for $12, which is a good deal considering that they load up the tacos with meat. Coupled with a mexican Coke and Jarritos, the taco experience here was (m)excellent. The vibe inside was authentically mexican with a novela playing on the TV and classic mexican music playing in the background. Sadly, I didn't take a photo, but I'll be back. Overall I recommend this place if you enjoy tacos!“
“My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday at El Aguila this weekend and we had so much fun! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, the workers were organized and served the food to 64 guests quickly and without any problems. I would recommend El Aguila to those looking to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant has plenty of space for events large or small. Guadalupe really did a great job communicating from the beginning of the reservation to the end. Thank you for making this day even more special!My family and I celebrated my sister's birthday in El Aguila this weekend and we had a lot of fun!
