Amazing true Mexican menu. Large portions and great staff making certain you are happy and full!

Four stars, maybe even 4.5! I stopped by for an early lunch on a Saturday at the Leesburg location. It has a spacious dining area and is brightly-lit. I ordered 3 tacos: chicken adobo, carnitas, and Al pastor. All came on two corn tortillas. While the tortillas were on the small side, the meat portions were generous. The chicken adobo and carnitas came with a lovely garnish of white onions, radish, and green onions. I mixed and matched the salsas from their salsa bar. All of the tacos were excellent, but there's room for a little improvement (of course, I will have to go back to try the other varieties and to gauge, over time, if there is any improvement). The carnitas would have been fantabulous if the cooks had put on a little bit of crispified char during their time on the flat-top. The al pastor could use a little more spice in its marinade. As it was, it seemed like it was shredded meat, more akin to the carnitas. All in all, really good tacos, and if I'm driving over to Leesburg again, I'll definitely plan this as a lunch stop. read more

Small buisness Chipotle, so greater dish diversity and customer service! The Crispy Shrimp bowl was great and was a good enough portion size. read more

Tacos are on the smaller side, like Bar Taco style, probably around the same price point, but with a *slightly* more authentic feel. Would recommend getting at least 3 tacos! My favorites were the lengua and crispy shrimp tacos. Lengua is a new menu item, very tender and soft. And the crispy shrimp has a great crunch and juiciness! The al pastor was okay, but I did find it a bit too greasy (?) - the juices were enough to soak through both corn tortillas... read more

Overall the food was decent. The adobo could've stood bit more seasoning. The elote had good flavor overall, however the corn tasted overcooked. The service was pleasant. The restaurant itself was har a cool vibe. The place nice and clean. read more

We've been a few times in the past and they usually do a pretty good job, this time was no different. Came in for taco Tuesday and they had Carnitas, adobe chicken and tofu tacos on the special menu. We tried all of them and thought they were pretty good. They are small tacos but they load them up with ingredients. I ordered 4 and it was probably 1 taco too many. Not a whole lot of ambiance as it's order at the counter with an industrial feel but that doesn't take away for a cheap tasty taco. Cheers! read more

Birriria tacos were delicious. Great service and ambiance! This was my first time there. I will definitely be going there again. read more

Bandit Taco - Birria tacos. Delicious tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

My wife loves the food here the portions are plenty and cost is reasonable. The taco bowls and burritos are plenty and delicious..

Went for lunch and happily surprised they serve breakfast all day! The guac & chips are on point - fresh guac and the chips were warm. Wonderful start to the meal. The burrito was wonderful, potatoes and black beans complimented the cheese and eggs. Their self serve sauces are all good - from mild to spicy, they have one for every taste bud. If you like good food, go! read more

Oh wow this place is tasty! Definitely order the guacamole. I ordered the carnitas bowl and my husband had the barria tacos- they were amazing. read more

This is your typical taco joint. They have all the things would expect. Taco Tuesday is a great deal. The guac and chips were pretty good, the sauces, the mild and the hot both were pretty good. Had the taco Birria special, which was quite delicious. I also tried the Korean beef taco, which was good, although, I would rather have tried something different. All in all, not a bad place to grab a quick taco on the way home or a while you're drinking in the afternoon. I'll be back. read more

Since it was Tuesday, I figured why not take advantage of Taco Tuesday at Bandit Taco. The inside is spacious, with colorful chairs and a bit of an industrial feel. They had three tacos to choose from at $2.50 each. The three varieties were; Adobo Chicken, Chorizo and Mushroom. Additionally, they have more tacos, burritos, quesadillas and so much more. I got two mushroom tacos. They are small, but packed with plenty of flavor. My tacos had; corn, peppers, cilantro, scallions and seasoning. They were ready very quickly. They arrived on a tray with a lime wedge. These tacos are very tasty, with the right amount of oomph seasoning, and the texture from the scallions. They are small, I don't think they are worth any more than the Taco Tuesday price of $2.50. If you're in the area on a Tuesday, I would totally check out Bandit Taco. read more

I always enjoy a good meal here. Pricing is ok and the food is good and filling. They give you generous portions!

Over priced and bland. Tbh, when I'm in the area, I try to give this place a chance and always leave disappointed. You're better off making tacos at home Senor Ramon Taqueria in downtown Leesburg is the better option. read more

This place used to be excellent...employees were friendly, tables and bathroom were clean, and food was cooked to order. Now, you barely get greeted by an employee who already looks annoyed the moment you walk in. Proteins are served dried out and barely warm, so you can tell it was all pre cooked and just sitting there. Their steak used to be cooked to order and was amazing. Sad to see this place go downhill. Giving 2 stars because their queso is still good at least. read more

Tacos were amazing! My favorite was the mushroom taco super flavored. The corn was good as well. read more

After catching a movie, we wanted to grab a bite to eat in the area. It's conveniently located right outside the theatre so it worked out perfectly! It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The food was tasty and reasonable prices. I got the birria tacos which I enjoyed and my kids shared the chicken quesadilla and they loved it. I probably wouldn't order the queso again though. read more

Birria tacos are addictive! Elote is okay too. I prefer the corn charred, so I pop it in the air fryer for a couple minutes and it's perfect. read more

Delicious food. The taco prices were reasonable. Pro tip: Pay in cash so you can avoid the awkwardness when they flip that screen over asking for a 35% tip. The Barbacoa quesadilla was fantastic, and very filling. Parking on the street is really tough during the day, but there's a garage around the corner. read more

Bandit Taco - Barbacoa Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Best taco place in town. Senor Ramon used to be the only spot, but this is what I'd expect from a proper taqueria. Simple - double tortillas, meat style, and garnish depending on the type (cilantro, radish, onion, etc.). I've probably had half the menu and really everything is pretty good. The quesadillas are just okay, but the place isn't called bandit quesadilla. It's wild that the best place to eat in village at Leesburg is either here or a chocolate-themed upscale. Service is great too. read more

We love this place and go several times a month. It's perfect spot to grab dinner before going to a movie too. Have tried several different taco proteins but my personal favorite is the chorizo tacos. I've seen a few reviews complaining about price but these tacos are packed full of meat and since they double up on the corn tortilla you could make 2 tacos out of the amount of meat they give you. I also love their street corn (it is whole cob on a stick) and queso and chips. The guacamole isn't bad either though I find it a bit under seasoned for my taste. I love the hibiscus drink they have and they have Mexican coke bottles which I'm a sucker for. Last time I went I got the Birria Taco Special and I hope it never leaves the menu because I'm now officially obsessed. It's a decent size space and we've never had an issue getting a seat. They have some communal tables too which is cool. You can also grab to go and walk down block to tables near center of shopping complex. Staff has always been polite and food has always been made fresh to order and comes out hot. read more

We went back and the place was not very crowded - we ordered and the food arrived in less than 10 minutes, but the problem from the past has continued as the food is still very meager and really not worth the $12 per bowl. I guess this is best if you want an occasional change of flavor from chipotle, otherwise it really can't compete with them both on quality and quantity. read more

Three of us went to Bandit Taco for a late lunch. We ordered a Skirt Steak Taco, a Shrimp Taco, an Al Pastor Bowl, and Sweet Plantains. We also got bottled water, Mexican Fanta, and Mexican Coke from the nearby fridge. Our food came out quickly and was delivered as each item became ready. The tacos are street size and each has two tortillas under the filling. Hubby said the steak was good and decided to dip some of it into the what he thought was Salsa Rioja he picked up at the sauce station. It might have been the Habanero. His face and eyes quickly became red and watery, and he coughed. The salsa was spicier than he expected, and he quickly used the Salsa Verde and swigged his Mexican Coke. He enjoyed the Crispy Shrimp Taco although it was a couple of bites before he got to the shrimp. I enjoyed the Al Pastor Bowl. It had hot white rice and black beans that contrasted well with the cool shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pineapple tidbits, shredded mozzarella, and sour cream. I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the flavors. The plantains were sweet and soft with caramelized ends, and they had a light, sweet glaze. They stayed very warm as we ate them. The plantains were my favorite as I really enjoyed the caramelized ends. Although it came with sour cream, I never felt a need for it. Prior to sitting, I looked around for a table that seats 4, and there were only tables for 2 and groups of 6 to 8. We sat at a large wooden table that had a wooden bench on one side and three metal chairs on the other. There was plenty of upbeat music playing although not too loud. If you are looking for cheaper tacos, they have select tacos for $2.50 on Tuesdays. I definitely want to go back to try the Street Corn and a few other things. read more

We ordered these delicious tacos for lunch, they were good but lacking flavor. Had to dress it up with the salsa and sauces they gave us. I had the steak and the Al Pastor. Steak was bland and a little over cooked and the Al pastor shredded meat was tender and juicy, out of the two I like the Al pastor better. -Skirt Steak Taco -Korean Beef Taco -Al Pastor Taco -Baja Fish Taco -Adobo Chicken Quesadilla -Skirt Steak Quesadilla Tacos are tiny looking, Quesadilla are big in size and worth the $10. Overall Bandit Tacos are good and are definitely on the expensive side, they remind me of Taco Bamba but Bamba has flavors. Will be back for other tacos. read more

The meat was very moist in all of the tacos we had. The Al pastor was pulled rather than cut up into small chunks and was on the sweeter side so I preferred the Korean beef taco over the Al pastor but still both good. The agua de jamaica was good but I have had better. The street corn was amazing as well as the homemade salsas! The tres leches was a delicious dessert option but i wish it was a little fluffier but was super moist which is a must for tres leches! read more

Price could be a bit more affordable but overall I liked it. I ordered it via doordash and got my food fairly quickly. I ordered 1 Barbacoa taco, 1 skirt steak, 1 crispy shrimp, and 1 skirt steak bowl. My favorite items was the bowl and the skirt steak taco. Both the bowl and tacos seemed REALLY small compared to other places for the pricing. I feel like you don't get much for your money. The bowl came with the basics rice, beans, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, pico, and steak. However, the bowl is not very deep and it's just as wide as Cava or Chipotle. So you really don't get much... the flavor was good, nothing wow factor. Overall, I'd order again but I do feel like I'd check out other options first. read more

Tacos were good. Like that they use corn tortillas. Fajita meat was tasty but a little bit dry. Guacamole could use more kick and chunks. Did not like the queso it was sort of like mayonnaise. Service was good. Can order online via Toast app. Overall this is decent but not better than senor ramons. read more

My wife and I went there a few weeks ago. She had a skirt steak burrito, It was very tasty. I had 4 tacos, 2 chorizo tacos, a Korean BBQ taco and chicken adobo taco. All were flavorful, well seasoned and nicely balanced with acid. My favorite was the chorizo taco. The tacos are not very big,get a burrito if you're really hungry. My only negative comments are the fact that they serve white rice with Tacos, Burritos and they don't have refried beans on the menu. Why in the hell would you serve white rice in a tex-mex style of restaurant? Where's the refried beans? read more

It took forever to get the food I ordered but it was kinda worth it. I just hate waiting and I didn't understand what was taking so long when the dining area was mostly empty. I could see the kitchen staff moving around but maybe it was for Door Dash orders ahead of me. They were all very nice and courteous despite the wait. I got the steak quesadillas, shrimp taco and fish taco. I was surprised at how big the quesadilla was and had leftovers for a couple days. The flavor was amazing and I'm excited to try another variation the next time I go. The tacos were okay but I'm not a corn tortilla girl. I forgot to ask if I could sub for flour tortillas. Overall, I'm down to go back as an alternative to the big C. read more

3.5. Food was good but wasn't anything particularly special, even more so given the price (~$5/taco). Got the birra tacos, korean BBQ taco, chicken tinga taco, barbacoa taco, chips and queso, and a barbacoa burrito. All the beef ones had a slightly burnt flavor. Birra tacos had good flavor but pretty greasy. Online ordering was easy and to-go staff were friendly. Overall, nice place but probably won't be my go-to for tacos. read more

So good. Far from where I live but wow. Love their tacos and their cheese queso dip! A cute little taco joint in the shopping center with food you won't be disappointed. You get to choose tacos, nachos, bowls, burrito.... Plenty of protein to choose from! read more

We went to Bandit Taco on April 24, 2024, my wife ordered 3 tacos & I ordered an Al Pastor bowl. I signed up to receive my receipt via email. When I looked at the receipt, I had been charged for TWO Al Pastor bowls. I pointed this out to the cashier & he said, "oh, I thought you said 2." He punched in something on the register again & told me to insert my card for a refund. I did this. I said, "you're sure this will show up as a refund?" He said, "yeah, should be there." I've looked at our account several times since that day. The original double charge is still there, but so far, no refund a week later. I'd steer clear of Bandit Taco for a while. It seems some shady things are going on there with payments. read more

My friend and I were at the Leesburg Outlets and we were starving, so coming here was completely on a whim. It's pretty close to the outlets in a really cute complex. When we got here, it was pretty busy but we were able to find seats. I ordered the tofu and veggies bowl, my friend ordered the mushroom burrito, and we shared the yuca fries and got the dulce de leche cheesecake. My bowl was a lot bigger than I expected and I could barely finish it! My friends burrito also was huge. I thought my bowl was really good, it felt fresh and wasn't greasy or anything. It felt light to me which I appreciated. I was shocked by the yuca fries with how big they were. I was scared that they'd be really soft because of how big they were but honestly they were really good! Fried to perfection. Lastly, the dulce de leche cheesecake tasted like pure caramel. It was really good, but incredibly rich - I shared with my friend and we could only eat half. I felt like the service was a bit off, it took around 20 minutes for us to get our yuca fries and another 10 minutes to get our food. We also weren't told that the cheesecake is in the fridge so we had to go get it ourselves, so we ended up sitting for a bit longer than expected. I do think the food was worth it though, and definitely worth the price. read more

Food was spectacular. Seasoned to perfection with good portions. I prefer the strip steak taco & crispy chicken burrito. Prices are fantastic (Cheap for quantity) Totally recommend to Mexicans food fans and those with open pallets. Service was quick and kind. read more

Tasty and fast globally influenced Mexican street food. Tacos are street style and small enough that they are a perfect snack - two or more if you are looking for more of a meal. Burritos on the other hand are substantial, more than enough for a meal. Service is fast and the dine in area is pleasant with upbeat music. Plenty of parking at this plaza. Great for before or after seeing a movie at the CMX Cinema next door. read more
