There is nowhere in the DMV that makes either decent Mission-style burritos or decent SW cuisine. The only place worth visiting for the food of our homeland is Taco Bamba, which makes tacos (and only tacos; they're very loud on that point) in interesting frontera styles. [/quote]

Arizonan back again.  We just tried taco hamba for the first time last weekend.  Their refried beans tasted like they came from a can.  And their enchiladas were weirdly spicy.  Not like read sauce spice, like hot salsa spicy.  Really weird for enchiladas.  I’ll probably give them another shot but I was disappointed by the first try.  
I’ll also say district taco has some decent things.  Their beans are disappointing but many of their taco options are good.  The chorizo and egg one is good.  I think the carnitas and carne asada were also pretty good but it’s been a couple years now since I’ve had them.  
There’s a couple places in the silver spring area I’ve seen recommended but haven’t yet tried.  There is a random taco shack on downtown bethesda next to the violin store which I did try a few months ago and thought was pretty good for just a burrito or taco type thing.  I was the only gringo there, for what that’s worth.  [/quote]

I also have not been impressed by taco bamba. Was surprised to see it recommended. [/quote]
I'm a CA PP who called out Taco Bamba. It's better than a lot of other places, and it's more "authentic" in that it's just the meat and some onions and cheese, and they have the different salsas. They do have the more modern, fusion style tacos, too.[/quote]
