The house made Jamaica was incredible, and I tried the birria quesadilla and it was outstanding.

There's not a lot of seating in here, so it filled up pretty quickly. My only gripe about this place is it is literally a crime for any Mexican food place to charge for chips and salsa, so definitely lost a star for that. The food was amazing though!

I was a bit hesitant to go into the restaurant, as it looked very Spartan. You order at a counter, and I quickly found out that few people speak English here, but we communicated well enough to get our order across to the cashier. We got 2 of each of the following: Coronas; steak, chicken and pork tacos; plantains and a pupusa. First taco I ate was the pork taco... Tasty, some crispy edges, avocado sauce and some hot sauce in a double corn tortilla. Fantastic! The chicken and steak tacos were outfitted similarly, and though not as tasty as the pork, still very good. The pupusa had cheese, refried beans and pork. Yum! And the plantains were sweet and succulent - spot on. Wish they served margaritas, but the beer was cold that it worked great with the food. The totalcost of this meal for 2 was $37...I would have paid twice that for that quality and taste. Best of all, my wife said, "hey, this is a keeper! We're coming back!" BTW, though we didn't try any of the baked goods, they have what appears to be a pretty good bakery with Salvadoran cookies and sweets, plus full sized cakes. We'll try something from the bakery next time!

There were no other customers in the restaurant at the time. I was greeted immediately when I came in. The staff were friendly and quick. The music they were playing wasn't too loud, and the dining area looked clean. They weren't particularly busy when I came in, but they did have a couple of order pick-ups. There were also a couple families that came in when I finished eating and was getting ready to leave. I was served complementary chips and salsa to start off with while I looked through the menu. They have extensive list of options from starters to desserts and drinks. I ordered the chicken fajitas that came with the usual sides. It tasted okay. I loved the tortillas, though! The tortillas were tasty. When you order drinks, I think you have to verify whether you want a fountain drink, bottled or canned. I'm not really sure if they offer fountain soda drinks. I ordered a coke from the menu that said it was $1.69, but a bottle of Mexican coke was brought out and it was rung up as $2.69. A little bit of a surprise, but I love Mexican Coke so I'm not really upset. They have a fairly priced menu with standard portions. Not as tasty as I thought the food would be, but it wasn't bad. I had a fairly pleasant experience with the staff. I may return to try again and see if my palate takes to the food!

"Wow! I can't say enough about the incredible experience I had at La Taqueria. The ambiance was filled with lively music, colorful decor, and the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling meats and spices. But it was the food that truly stole the show. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, while the al pastor was a delightful blend of sweet and savory. The handmade tortillas were warm and crisp, just like you find them in the street of Mexico. The incredible Sopa Pozole, On a perfect rainy day, there's nothing quite like it to warm your soul and fill your belly with comfort. This hearty soup was a true masterpiece. The pozole had an amazing depth of flavor, with rich, savory broth that had been simmered to perfection. But what really set it apart was the generous inclusion of every part of the chicken. You could taste the love and care that went into every bowl. And let's not forget about the salsa bar! It offered a variety of spicy and tangy options and smoked chipotle to customize your tacos to your heart's content. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite and the habanero topping gave it a great kick to your mouth. If you're looking for the real taste of Mexico City right in your neighborhood, lataqueriava is the place to be!" read more

Wow, so happy to finally try this new hole in the wall in Leesburg. Sirius street food offerings, including breakfast that I need to get back to. Today's occasion was lunch, and we tried an assortment of tacos, chips and guacamole, and a La gringa. The food was fantastic and we will be back many times! The prices were reasonable, especially for Leesburg, but I will complain that you must order everything piecemeal, there are no packages of any kind so you kind of get to a high place pretty quickly. Even having to pay for chips and salsa, that really rubs me the wrong way. Particularly because when we did pay for chips we got a tiny little bag for $5, a tough pill to swallow when you expect to get three times that many chips grab us for sitting down. The guacamole was also in a tiny little portion, delicious but disappointing. I love this place. I hope they figure out how to keep prices good and offer better combo incentives. We now live in times where restaurants are closing left and right because of the unsupportable increases they made to prices, I hope this doesn't happen here. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Taqueria, and I must say, their authentic Mexican flavors left me craving for more. The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly the al pastor tacos served on warm corn tortillas. These were hands down the best al pastor tacos I've ever tasted. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere further added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican tacos, La Taqueria is a must-visit destination. read more
