| El Chilango, the taco truck on 355 in Gaithersburg or Taco Bar near Rio. |

| District Taco sucks. |

Way over seasoned, and not in a good way. Plus their music is deafeningly loud. |

| Taco El Chilango food truck in Arlington (Rosslyn). Tastiest, most authentic tacos I’ve ever had. |

It's really, really bad |

| My understanding is the US health and safety rules mean that proper 'al pastor' tacos can't be sold here. District Taco does the closest imitation that I've found, but I've never been able to find street tacos as good as the ones in Mexico here. |

I love El Paso and so glad one of the locations is near me. (Anita’s is good for New Mexican food). I love their al pastor street tacos. I was underwhelmed with District Tscos. And hate Bamba. The only other place that’s good is BarTaco. |

| Tacos el Chilango on 11th and V in DC comes closest to Mexican tacos for me (I’ve lived in Mexico for two years in my younger years.) district taco for me is neither fresh nor authentic. |

+1 this and the Tortas Y Tacos mentioned above on Columbia Pike in Arlington are the two best I have found. |

| I've never had authentic street tacos in Mexico so I cant compare, but, I really love the tacos at Gringos and Mariacchi. They have 2 locations, one in Bethesda and one in Park Potomac, neither is terribly far from Silver Spring/Wheaton area |

Their classic tacos are great. I always get the tongue and tripa and add salsa to taste. The "fancy" ones are somewhat heavy on the seasoning, but personally I like the invention that went into the recipes. And compared to BarTaco Bamba is a lot better value. |
