I've lived in Frederick for a few years now and really only had one place for tacos before trying Taco Bar. Those are hands down the best tacos in Frederick. It's all in the name! I ordered three traditional tacos (2 steak and 1 chicken). The meat was heavily piled on two amazing corn tortillas. I would say almost a pound of meat and full of juicy flavor. They have a self serve toppings station where they use everything you can imagine to put on your tacos. The Salsas were flavorful and had a nice spice. I will be back! read more

Taco Bar Frederick - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

HUGE portions! I ordered combo #4: two sopes, rice, and beans--my husband ordered an al pastor taco sope and a shrimp taco. We also ordered chips & guacamole to share. We easily could have ordered just 1 platter to share, the sopes are supersized (and sooo delicious). The guacamole is wonderful and it felt like a super generous portion, as well. Delicious house-made chips. We loved the salsa bar but realized too late that we never found the habanero salsa (you need to ask for it at the counter). We ate our fill and still had a whole meal to take home with us. Delish. Will be back. Great service, too, very warm. Ambiance is cute. read more

Ambience was welcoming. Order at the counter off the extensive menu and wait just a few minutes for your food to arrive. I ordered the steak tacos, then went to the condiment bar to add the fresh onion and cilantro. Flavor was great. We also enjoyed the chips and guac. Chips were warm and the guac was freshly prepared. This place is a must stop for authentic Mexican street tacos if in the area read more

The food is delicious. The service is a little slow depending on the amount of take out orders but the food is cooked fresh so it's a good offset. The ambiance is very welcoming and cultural. Some of the prices are kind of off (3.15 for a CAN of Pepsi) but I didn't have time to dispute them giving the benefit of a doubt that the system was not functioning properly. The salsas used to be labeled on the bottles but now the label is placed on the rolling fridge. Who knows how some customers just put stuff back randomly. Good thing is that the food was cooked fresh. The chefs do not skimp on the protein so you will definitely get your moneys worth. I had the carne street tacos, tripa tacos, lengua tacos and some soup. Tripa tacos were definitely fresh and the host asked if I would like them crispy and they delivered. The steak was moderately seasoned and a little over cooked that it was kind of dry. Adding salsa did not help that day. The lengua tacos were cooked perfectly where they didn't melt and you weren't chewing a rubber band. Customers do have a choice on what sized tacos they prefer Overall, I have been here a few times but the carne street tacos preparation has been constantly on point. read more

My food was amazing as well as the salsa/toppings at the bar. The staff was friendly and I can't wait to try more items from the menu next time! read more

I recently ordered from Taco Bar, and it was honestly a huge disappointment. I selected several items like salsa, onions, and cilantro from the options menu, as well as requested utensils and napkins. When I picked up my order, I even asked the staff if everything I requested was in the bag, and they assured me it was. However, when I got home and opened the bag to dig in, NONE of the items I selected were included--no salsa, onions, cilantro, or any condiments at all. On top of that, there were no utensils or napkins, making the entire experience frustrating and inconvenient. I've ordered from here before and never had issues, however I've only dined In never take out . This time was a complete letdown. I won't be returning anytime soon unless they can get their order fulfillment together. In my honest opinion , just dine there don't take out !! If you do carry out make sure you load up your condiments in your container. Since they are incompetent to do so upon request per their website. read more

These tacos were really good and really stuffed. I came when they had a deal going on for taco Tuesdays. The workers were great and told me which tacos were their favorite and which I should get. Food came out pretty fast and sauces are located on the side and you put them on the tacos yourself, which I really liked. I just feel like the tacos were missing a moist factor, like a creamy sauce or sour cream. But overall really good and will come again when I am in the area. read more

Straight to the point, these tacos were STUFFED. I really appreciated how much meat came in each taco, only thing is that the different meats didn't really taste too different from each other. Other than that the staff was great and welcoming. Plus, the restaurant itself was clean and had lots of seating. I actually liked the fact that they leave all the topping at a side bar for you to add yourself. read more

The flavors of the food here are very good! They only serve quesobirria tacos on Thursday so if that's what your looking for, they only have them for one day. That's what I went in for! Although, we were sad to have missed the best day, in my opinion, my family and I tried different options. I got the combo #1 which comes with your choice of two tacos, rice, and beans. I chose carnitas because that will always be my favorite! My husband got the torta, which that sandwich was the size of his head! My son got the carne asada fries which were amazing! I couldn't get a pic of those because the kiddo dug in too fast, but take my word for it, they were amazing! The portions are a really good size. They do have agua frescas here like jamaica, tamarindo, and horchata. The horchata is made the Salvadorian way, with Morro, just for your awareness! Go try them out, you will not be disappointed! read more

My family and I came here for dinner, ordered a couple, Conasauga fries, Canastota, tacos, and a variety of tacos. The salsa bar was great. My favorite is the spicy salsa. The cheese taste like Ricos cheese for the nachos. I was a little disappointed to see my food come out on the paper plates that I use at home, lol. And the fries - were a small plate, not very generous at all. The only things that I'm not a fan of is the increase dollar for what is cheese and sour cream, charged 4% fee for using your credit card, and Birria tacos are ONLY AVAIL ON THURSDAYs. read more

Authentic Mexican. Nice clean atmosphere. Soft tacos with high quality meat. Fixings, what they calm "americano style" come on request only. Family opinion varies. The cheese quesadillas were terrific. Fries were thicker than McDonalds and crisp. No chips and salsa and no hard shells on the menu. My favorite were the tacos. The pork, beef and chicken were all excellent. Salsa came separate and was spicy. If you want authentic and comfortable, this place is a destination worth traveling too. read more

Literally the worst Mexican food in Frederick, and it is expensive too.. No flavor, bad service , no wonder it was completely empty on a Friday night. You can get more authentic flavor in a Taco bell. read more

Food is phenomenal! Coming from Southern California, we've struggled to find decent Mexican food that reminds us of home and this has been the closest we've gotten. The Lengua is delicious, super tender and full of flavor. This will definitely be our spot from now on! read more

Horrible place to eat. They took an hour for mine and my family's order. They even charged me extra for something I didn't order. Their agua de horchata is caca. Don't come to this place save your money and go somewhere else. read more

When someone says tacos, I always jump for joy and hardly ever let the opportunity pass. Taco Bar is a hole in the wall located in Frederick, MD off of West Patrick Street. A tiny gem with gratifying, bold, and savory flavors. The restaurant's interior was so inviting from the celebration of colors of the dia de los Muertos which means the Day of the Dead. These tacos were beyond delicious! I ordered the al pastor and chorizo tacos from their combo menu and I knew from the start that there will be zero regrets. The meal came with rice, beans, and a drink. The horchata drink is a must get! It was creamy but not overly sweet. The pork tasted like it was marinated for hours and the sautéed onions gave it the extra flavor. The chorizo was seasoned very well but slightly too salty for my taste buds. FYI they offer 20% off during Taco Tuesdays. Friendly staff and quick to serve! Grateful for another taco joint and worth a drive to the Frederick area! read more

I don't know that I've given a place 5 stars before, but Taco Bar Frederick deserves it. The food is simply amazing! My family has tried several different dishes, and every one has been phenomenal. My personal favorite are the carnitas street tacos: the meat is well-seasoned, tender, juicy, and has those delectable crispy bits from frying. They're just perfection. read more

Food is great, fairly priced. The tostadas were very good! Looking forward to trying the Birria tacos which they only have on Thursdays read more

Taco Bar Frederick - Front of restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Well folks, my exploration of Maryland continues. Came here to have "street tacos". They missed the mark. The steak is not the traditional "carne asada" tacos. The pieces are too large, the tortillas are too big and the flavor is meh. So, been here, doubt I'll come back. Plus the price!! Wow, definitely an indication of the inflation we are in. read more

Taco Bar Frederick - Steak taco.... - Mexican Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

This is a family regular for us for quick take out Mexican food. We especially love the Carne Asada fries and chicken flautas. The food is fresh and very tasty. There are some ordering nuances that we found out after the fact such as; if you order Birria Tacos on Thursdays (the only day they offer them) you need to order the platter to get the au jus. We discovered after we got home with no au jus and I called. It is counter service and the staff are friendly and attentive. read more

It was alright. I went on a Sunday evening and waited 20 minutes for my order, which is a long time for two tacos. The tacos were fine, but the chorizo was rather oily. I would have appreciated some more topping choices, like some sour cream or cheese. Your only options are pico de gallo, cilantro, onions, pickled jalapeños, and salsa. I might try it again but I'm not dying to. read more

Tacos are ok, but their prices are too high. I don't think I'd go back, the food isn't worth the value, for me at least.

Delicious and authentic!! Got taco Combo and it's amazing! Highly recommend this hole in the wall restaurant. read more

Social Media buzz (Yelp, IG) got me here the first time, Taco Tuesday keeps me coming back..... EVERYTHING is fresh cooked for you, and authentic. I've tried every meat option, and they are all good. I think I like the Beef Tongue best... The thing that puts them over the top is 1) Customer Service and 2) The Fixings Bar. The tastes bring me back to the street tacos I always enjoy in Central Mexico. Tacos, Quesadillas, Sopes, Burritos.... all good. I would eat here everyday if I could. read more

Taco Bar Frederick - Mexican Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Since moving to Frederick, Maryland from San Diego I have been looking for real authentic style Mexican food or even "taco shop" style Mexican food (if you're from SoCal you understand what that means). I am part Mexican and grew up within a heavy Mexican culture in my family but also in my community, so my standards for Mexican food are high! I can't say that I found that here at Taco Bar exactly, but it's the first burrito I've had here that kind of reminds me of home in a good way! I had the Burriloco burrito with steak as my protein. I actually enjoyed it! The meat was well seasoned and cooked, there was a good ratio of the beans, rice, cheese and fries. It hit the spot! I would and will get it again. I tried the mild (green) salsa and it was also not bad! I decided to try a taco on the side to see what that was about. I got the Al pastor taco. It was AIGHT. The meat itself was tasty, but the corn tortillas...straight trash. You cannot call yourself "authentic" if you use generic American style tortillas instead of homemade. Personally, I feel like a tortilla can make or break a taco/burrito and in this case I don't picture myself getting tacos again from here. One last thing: the prices are ridiculous. I paid $11+ for my burrito and $5+ for ONE taco. That is crazy to me! Seems like they try to Jack up the prices here for some reason but it is unwarranted. Coming from an expensive burrito, I can tell you that the average price for a burrito like the Burriloco in SD is about $9. A taco would run you about $2-3. I also got a can soda which cost $2. For a CAN. Crazy... Since my burrito was good and the taco meat was good, I feel like this place has potential and deserves 4-stars. I took away a star for the prices and the corn tortillas. read more

Best tacos around. They give you a lot of food and it's consistently good. Forever client!

The Taco Bar is just a month old and already they are a favorite place of mine to get some very good Mexican grub. The concept is clean and easy. Pick your meat and order a Taco, or Burrito, Quesada, or Torta. Then have a seat and wait for one of the best true Mexican food experiences to come to you. They may not be fast, but you can't rush true perfection with this great food. Also bring an appetite as the meat is not an afterthought it's the star. The service is very good and helpful. If you want good homemade Mexican food, then head to Taco Bar and get ready for a real meal. read more

I stopped in the other day and I was very impressed with the quality and service I received. The lady who helped me must of been the owner I guess she was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me get the order correct and making sure I was Satisfied so I would definitely be happy and I'm glad she took the time to offer her help . I enjoy my food so much and my moms take home order that she helped me out with was so perfect and on point which made me happy so long story and Happy ending that the drive from Martinsburg would be well worth it as this here is what I've been looking for since moving here from the western Coast of California . thank you again Please visit you won't be Disappointed if you love the true Authentic Food read more

Order ahead! They make food as it is ordered so not the speediest carry out in town. But the taste of the food is always rich and interesting. Ask for condiment containers and fill from the condiment bar near the door. read more

Welcome to Flavor Town. Served on corn tortillas, I had the the tongue and tripe tacos and they were incredible. The meat is so tender, but not mush. The flavor was incredibly complex, with out the mineral organ taste. The service is fast, polite and welcoming. Additionally the Taco Bar is clean and uncluttered. Like Ricardo I was hoping for Birria tacos but I would rather wait until Thursday if that is what it takes. The food was outrageously good. read more

Food is amazing, service could use some improvement. Place is clean and welcoming. That's a plus for me.Will be back for the food.

Randomly spotted Taco Bar during a road trip pit stop and all these great Yelp reviews was all I needed to give it try. A legit taco spot with amazing decor. For $3.50 a taco, you get a heaping amount of meat, almost enough for 2 tacos! I ended up with a taco platter - one steak and one pork taco, both of which were delicious. For $.50 more I added lettuce, cheese, and sour cream to my tacos. PS I loved their hanging terrariums! read more

Omg I love this place. They have fresh, authentic tacos that seriously can't be beat. I love the toppings bar with the variety of salsas and fresh veggies for your choosing. I love the different types of authentic drinks and sodas available. I love the whole ambience and decor of the inside of the restaurant. It's so chill and down-to-Earth, and eating inside is part of the experience. I'm so glad to have found this amazing taco place in Frederick and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try some REAL tacos. Even the rice and frijoles on the side are incredible! Amazing food, portions, and prices. This is on my list of faves for sure! read more

Taco Bar Frederick - Steak Taco Combo! - Mexican Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I have wanted to try this since it opened and we finally made it here. And it was everything I had hoped and more! We had chorizo tacos, lengua tacos, bean tacos, and guacamole and chips. The chorizo was very flavorful. The portion size on all the tacos was such that one taco is really two. The guacamole was very yummy and the chips were fresh and hot! They have an entire vegetarian menu and the bean tacos were very good. All the tacos were added to from the plentiful condiments bar. The only things that might make this restaurant even better would be fresh jalapeños. They have pickled ones. And if they had small cups to get the items from the condiment bar it would be great. Instead you have to take your entire plate to the bar and put the items directly on the tacos. Definitely our new favorite Mexican restaurant! read more
