DO NOT EAT HERE!!! This is the worst tacos and service I've ever had!!! First I ordered tacos to go (2 orders), the order is suppose to be $9.99 each. They charge us over $35 dollars for the tacos and chips and salsa (other trucks give it for free) plus they didn't even have lime (who eat tacos without lime?). Also they just gave me a little paper plate with the tacos when I specified them more than once I wanted them to go. Really bad customer service and low food quality. read more

I had the worst tacos from here. Cold tortillas that broke so easily along with cold protein. Took one bite and threw it away. Please don't go to festivals, this was a ripoff to so many people. I paid $21 for three terrible tacos. read more

Rating thus truck against other Mexican Food Trucks I've tried. First.. homemade salsa! This is so critical. They have mild.. my favorite of the two.. with a clear taste of cilantro. The hot salsa was also great but don't expect it to be too spicy, just a good kick. The guacamole also tastes homemade and has nice chunks as it should. My only hope is they swap out the chips for a thinner more restaurant style and serve them warm. I ordered a chicken bowl with everything except corn and it's fantastic. I can taste a nice char on the chicken and portions are great. Loved having the display menu to help with ordering and the server showed is each item before adding it to our dish. Some trucks will say "pico?" And before you know it there is something surprising in the mix like corn (not authentic) or celery (um, just no). The pics of the toppings all looked exactly like what I got, not stock photos, bonus points for that! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for this truck again by Navy Yard Metro. Please restock your plastic bags so I don't have to limit what I can buy, thanks! read more

Right in the middle of the national mall great mexican food. Ask for the chicken or steak taco. My husband and I had tacos, guacamole and salsa. By the salsa is to die for! Coming from LA I have to say this place takes me back. Will be back and I recommend!! Just e clear what you want and they will serve you. Not too sure what other reviewers were saying because they heated the flour tortillas we got read more

Corn tortillas were awesome. Ingredients were very fresh and the service was quick and friendly. Recommend finding this food truck when and where they are. Hishaam was on point. Ask for him. Sam....Hushaam needs a raise and a vacation. read more

Mexicano Square - Steak burrito bowl - Food Trucks Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

3.5 stars - good variety of Mexican favorites here. Opted for the steak burrito, which they customized with the toppings and salsa I wanted. Steak was quite good, rice was tasty, but there wasn't as much salsa as I had expected. A bit overpriced at $10, but that's the deal with most food trucks. Solid, not spectacular. read more

The burrito was amazing! (And I'm picky about my burritos). I got the chicken, and it was juicy and flavorful.

The salsas were very good, but the flour tortillas were obviously not homemade, the steak was dry and low quality meat, and the cheese tasted exactly like Kraft shredded Mexican cheese. Disappointed. *EDIT* i'd also like to add that after leaving this review, the owner/worker of the food truck left a rude response to my review, rather than request that I come back another time to sample the menu or something from a customer service perspective. I will certainly not be returning to this food truck, or recommending to any friends. There are a dozen other food trucks in the same area... don't waste your time on this one. read more

Ordered steak bowl. Steak was tough, flavorless, and bland. The bottom of the bowl was liquid so it was a matter of seconds before everything turned soupy. I didn't like the shredded cheese- flavorless and cut too thick, which prevented it from melting over the bowl (personal pet peeve of my mine). No way this was worth $10. read more

It's not authentic Mexican food. The name is misleading. They're American style tacos. They're not bad but they would improve greatly if they heated their tortillas. When I was given my plate I was surprised that it wasn't hot or warm. I think they have their ingredients pre-made and aren't grilling the meats inside (like I've seen other trucks do). The meat in my tacos was barley warm. The tacos tasted okay bc they were covered in a semi spicy salsa. 9.99 was too much in my opinion for 3 tacos that weren't generously filled. read more

Ethan provided a great experience! My fish burrito bowl with rice, beans, corn, cilantro, pico de gallo and guacamole... AMAZING! Such a great meal after leaving the African American museum. Don't let the food truck fool you; I could tell the freshness in the tilapia and the food would still be great even if it was cold. Wish I had the Mexicano Square truck up in NJ where I am from. None the less, if you see this truck, stop and get something! You mouth, pockets and mind will thank you! Until again Ethan and Co!! read more

Delicious chicken burrito - very big with lots of beans and sour cream. $10 is a bit much. Nice guy working the truck.

Meh! Service was fast enough, but the young woman involved was not listening and the food was so-so. Had two chicken tacos. Asked for one with medium salsa and one hot, as my husband and I just wanted a quick snack on our way to metro after touring the Black History Museum. She wrapped them together, which would have been okay if she could have told me which was which. Since she obviously didn't care,in that split second, she couldn't remember. She had soaked our foil with water from the beans. I got my husband's out of the foil quickly, so he could eat his whole, but no such luck with mine. On top of that, it was a boring taco. The chicken was lightly seasoned, the salsa was bland. Pretty lane. Even the black beans and corn tasted like they came out of a can. Meh .. read more

Got the tacos and they were dry. You know when the tortillas are cold and really dry? Now I think maybe if they changed their name to American Mexicano Square or Tex-Mex Square then my standard and expectations would probably be met. Plus I should have known when the very friendly lady asked me what I wanted on my tacos. And when I asked for cilantro and onions, she said she didn't have just onions, but they had them in the pico De Gallo. And continued to ask me what else I wanted in my taco. Obviously we are dealing with some Tex-Mex here. Hence my disappointment when I read the name of the truck and my expectations for a legit street taco. However, nothing wrong with Tex-Mex in fact, I did try their Quesadillas and it was tasty. Reminded me of Applebee's quesadilla. read more

Don't eat there. Low quality food and over priced and it's not authentic Mexican food truck. I don't like to give bad reviews but they deserve it. read more

I will not be spending my money here ever again. I paid $11 dollars for a salad that wouldn't even feed a toddler. I feel scammed. It wasn't worth $11. If you want bang for your buck do not eat here or well at least do not get a salad. read more

Pretty tasty food truck option. Portions are HUGE for the price which is awesome but the food could use an bit more flavor. The mild salsa tasted kind of like ketchup and the chicken had no flavor. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican it's not here, however if you want a better option than Chipotle then this is your spot. As stated in my previous reviews, if Mexican is in the name, I expect my people to be making the food or at the very least, something close to authentic. A better description for the truck is Mexican inspired. On the menu they have burrito bowls, burritos, tacos, and then the menu goes Middle Eastern with gyros (Mediterranean tacos I guess). I had already committed to waiting in line and music they were playing was good. I wanted tacos but 2 tacos for $7 isn't justified, $3.50 a taco seems steep. I decided on a steak burrito, and was able to choose my toppings, so I avoided items like lettuce that have no business in a burrito. I topped my burrito with cheese, crema, onions, cilantro, onion, black beans, rice, and steak and salsa. Although I asked for the spiciest salsa available, there was nothing spicy about it, a bummer. The rice for the burrito didn't appeal to me, it was super long grain and thin, the type of rice found in middle eastern and indian dishes, it wasn't horrible, it was just odd. Some people might love it. The Service: The service was decent, cordial, and attentive. The Plus: Mexican Coca Cola! read more

The best barria ever!! This is the best food truck on The National Mall! I will come Back frequently just to find his truck!! Yummy

I look forward to them coming once or twice a week. They are definitely one of my favorite food trucks. The food is always excellent and the service is always outstanding. I'm stuck on the Rice Bowl but the Quesadillas are really good as well!! read more

Mexicano Square food truck was great! All fresh ingredients! Quick and very friendly service. The owner, Sam, is great! I met him through his other truck, Kabob Square, which has equally delicious food. Find these trucks and support these great folks. Wish more trucks could offer quality food and friendly service as they continue to do. *Update!! I can't get enough! Just tried the quesadilla! The best I've ever had! The salsa and pico de gallo were perfect!! Thanks again Sam!!! I'm a customer(fan) for life! read more

My wife and I are here from South Carolina with kids.. Picked this truck out of a dozen based on the appearance and cleanliness and we made the right choice!

Tried the salad bowl with chicken. Very fresh ingredients. Really good. Will be back.

Hands down the best quesadilla. Coming from California to DC, I didn't expect this truck to offer a better option than Cali food. The cheese was perfectly melted and the tortilla was crispy. The handmade guacamole was delicious. I can only compare it to when Whole Foods had the guac made on the spot. Overall, money well spent. read more

It was just ok, I got the fish tacos and I thought the fish tasted a little fishy but the good part was it was a good amount of fish. read more

Their chicken quesadillas are fabulous! They will be back at Farrgut Square tomorrow after a long absence and the Federal shutdown, Yippee!

Ordered a steak burrito. It was pretty good considering he forgot to put the steak in it. By the time I realized there was no steak I was sitting in my office, 3 blocks away, and half-way through it. The owner later gave me a refund and offered me a free one after reading my review. I haven't had a chance to get another burrito yet. I'm looking forward to it because the burrito was good even without the meat. read more

This is the best street quesadilla I've ever had. 10/10 will eat again. The truck is very clean and the staff is very nice.

This was the worst Mexican food I have tasted in my entire life. As a Hispanic this food was the worst, the steak was bland and very expensive, they give you a little bowl and there is too much liquid at the bottom and the meat was cold. I was so disappointed that I did not eat it. DO NOT EAT THIS I went to four guys right after and was 100% better read more

My favorite food truck in DC. Great food, great quality, great service. I recommend it to everyone I know.
