Walked in, sat at the bar. Girl Stayed on her phone, looked at me crazy like why am I there. Restaurant EMPTY, 8:30 PM Thursday. Never said anything to me , never greeted me. I ordered fajita, asked after a while for chips or salsa? Water? Chips Came out stale, second batch stale, water came From the kitchen sink. Then as I pointed these things out, they laughed. I walked out. The end. DO NOT GO HERE! I am WARNING YOU! read more

I recently ordered via uber eats and after waiting for 2 hours, they finally said my order was ready for pickup. My uber eats driver goes up there and says the restaurant told him I canceled my order. Even after I informed him it wasn't canceled and should still be delivered, he said the staff was not helping at all. I will NEVER order anything from this place ever again! read more

Really good food, family friendly. Good music. I highly recommend this place. Tacos were really good.

I been eating at this restaurant for the past 4 years because I lived literally next to it, after a long time I decided to order some pupusas thru the phone and when we got there to pick them up all the workers/waitresses were eating food and licking their fingers. When I went near them to ask for my order they looked at each other like they didn't know what I was talking about, they took about 10 min to get everything done and no of them washed their hands to pack my food, one of them was eating in front of these mens flirting and having a attitude toward us. Now about the food, pupusas are supposed to have salsa and this salad with them, we got all the pupusas and they were not bad but they forgot the sauce since they were busy chatting and eating read more

Wish I could give them less than one star. Ordered an Chimichanga and plantait's when I got home.I had a soggy burrito and french fries called to ask if they could do something about it they hung up. Is very rude. When I was there they seemed to be very polite and nice. Sorry I went there won't be going back. read more

Good place to eat and sometimes it's packed and other times it's not, a lot of Hispanic here lol but overall service is fast and quality is a 8/10 The girls there are very nice and bilingual read more

Taco Mex - a car parked in front of a restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

The staff has no training whatsoever, no greetings as you come in. They stand at the bar and talk about their live issues. The service is very slow. I waited 45 for a carry out food. Whoever the owner is needs to put eyes on her/his/their business. I lit I could give no starts I would. Unfortunately they get 1 from me. Not only the waitress are unprofessional, they go all go around on each tables drinking, eating with the drunkies there. Picking out their food from between their teeth. THIS PLACE IS TRASH. TODAS LAS Q TRABAJAN SON BORRACHAS , se ponen a comer y tomar mientras trabajan. Sacándose la comida de los dientes. Este lugar es una basura. No se como the health department le da certificado a este lugar. No se los recomiendo!!! Más bien este restaurante parece un strip club q las mujeres solo quieren tips. read more

I have eaten here on numerous occasions, the folks here are friendly, always smiling! My food has always been hot fresh and super yummy! I love the pupusas, a great snack on the go!!! read more

Taco Mex - Everything!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I had the most wonderful late lunch, all delivered right to my door! Do try the spinach quesadilla! Truly tasty! But the chicken chimichanga is definitely the star of the show today... definitely hit the spot!! Comes with refried beans, sour cheese and guacamole. Yum yum!! read more

Full Disclosure: this was a DELIVERY order. So, that's a bonus, they deliver through GrubHub. Which is nice. I had the mixed enchiladas for lunch (one each beef, chicken, cheese). The tortillas were both overcooked (falling apart) and too tough in different spots, it was weird. They were covered in a light sauce with cheese, which was pleasant. They came with a trio of toppings on the side: sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole. These were all very good, but the pico had big chunks of chiles, which made for spicy bites. Not as cohesive as I would have liked. The fillings were... okay. Chicken was very grey (assuming all dark meat?), but still quite moist. Not a great flavor, though. Same with the beef; it was shredded, which was pleasant surprise from the expected ground offering. Also lacked flavor, though, though by contract with the chicken you could definitely tell it was beef. The cheese was cheese, nothing really news-worthy there. The sides were decent; rice was nicely salty, which I liked. Otherwise, just plain white rice, no tomato or other flavors added. The beans (black) were more sauc than I would have preferred, but had a decent flavor to them. They really should fish out the bay leaves, though... Also, I found a very tiny hair in my rice, about the size of an eyebrow hair. I honestly can't say it wasn't mine, so I'm not going to hold that against them, but I can't say it was mine, so I don't know... it is what it is. Overall, very underwhelming. For the price ($11 for the three enchilada meal), it was not a great value. The fillings could have used a touch more salt, or flavor of some type, and the portion, while not small, was definitely not worth the price, at least not compared to other similar offerings in the area. I've definitely had better, though I can honestly say this was nowhere near the worst. read more

loud music cold food no english, food took a long time to come out. messed up bill do not recommend

I used to love coming here to order the nachos. However the service is unprofessional. I called to see if they were doing dine-in and the woman put me on hold for longer than 2 minutes until I hung up because all I could hear was chatter, the TVs and loud music. I don't think I want to come back here. read more

Don't visit your place if you don't wanna be billed for the food you didn't buy. Food is horrible and dirty. Place is too loud. First, the manager does not speak English then the staff does not speak English. How are you here making business to English speaking country? Really? read more

If you are a black person or cannot speak Spanish please do not order from this restaurant. They got my order wrong and when I kindly told them to fix it, I was gaslighted. They proceeded to call me a "nigga" and said racist comments. They refused to refund me my money. read more

I ordered using GrubHub a couple weeks ago. The food arrived hot, fresh, and delicious. The steak burritos are tasty, and the food portions are fulfilling. If they are consistent, I won't hesitate to patronize in the future read more

Welp I came back ordering pupusas. To my disgust I get home and there is hair in my pupusas. In more than 1 yuckkkkk. I called and they offered to recook them for me. No thank you. Had to drive back there just to get a refund. Yuck I will never come here again. Pics read more

For some reason my friends were in the area and wanted some Mexican food and chose this place. I checked in on yelp and told them the ratings it had but still insisted on eating here because we were already here. We then proceeded to order and the food took 15 mins to come out. They do give you chips and salsa to start off with while you wait so the wait wasn't too bad. But all my friends said that the food was below average which I agreed. The waitress was nice but service was bad because she didn't refill our drinks after asking twice. I think she just had a hard time understanding us and when we ask for a refill she just smiled until we did the invisible drinking from a cup motion. It also took them a while to realize that we wanted to split the check. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you are craving Mexican food go elsewhere. read more

DO NOT ORDER FOR DELIVERY! This is the SECOND time that I have tried to order delivery thru YELP and the restaurant has not delivered. I ordered once months ago and it was good. However, since then, I have been hung up on, had 2 deliveries not arrive and gotten voicemail when calling. I dont know if they changed management or something, but I am sorely disappointed. I would give them negative stars if I could. read more

Went here for the first time yesterday, My meals was delicious and ready in less than 20 minutes ( I had takeout) only thing i was surprised was when i noticed they charged me $10 for a piña colada which has never happened , I usually pay $5 in every other restaurant the most $7 it was still good so at the end of the day i didn't mind read more

Ok, so are you familiar with what a bailerina is? Bailerina translates literally to dancer, but in this case we are talking about a trend that grew out of migrant men needing some attention from the more beautiful gender. Basically, it's a business that serves food and drink from scantily clad non-English speaking Latina immigrant women. They basically flirt with you in their booty shorts and sit and chat with you. It has been compared to essentially renting a girlfriend. You also have to pay if you would like to dance with them, and certain dances cost more than others. A scandolous reggaeton number is gonna cost you more than a salsa. Taco-mex is along the lines of this. While not a true bailerina spot (where women customers are simply not allowed), it does obviously cater to a male clientele. I felt a little uncomfortable when I went there with a group of guys and was the only female. There was a young lady in her sexy Mexico jersey kind of all over this one dude, and I assumed it was his girlfriend, that is until she went behind the bar and poured a drink. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude, and the outfits really weren't that bad (I've seen much worse), but I kind of like to know what I'm getting myself into. The pupusas weren't bad, and neither was the horchata. You should also prepare to be surrounded by some very drunk individuals, even if it's a relatively innocent time of day. read more

Taco Mex is a place I would give 3.5 stars. I'm driving back from Baltimore to Glenmont, it's about 9:45 PM on a Thursday and I'm craving some cheap Mexican Food. I see the Sign "Taco Mex" at a Strip mall in Burtonsville, and it is also next to a 7 - 11. I'm craving a Slurpee as well, so this is a perfect combination. I pop my head in Taco Mex, hear some Soda Stereo Blasting, and some one is Karoke-ing along to it. Three sexy latinas are working the bar, and a few more sexy latinas are AT the bar, which is a very pleasant surprise on such a random Thursday night. i look threw the Menu, and order the "Meat Tacos" (Ground Beef, soft flour tortilla, in Espanol) As white and nerdy as I look, I got the feeling that they would have been fine taking my order in English, but something about the place just makes you feel that ordering in Spanish is the way to go here. The place makes you think you have magically transported to Latin America by walking in the door. It's pretty cool. So after ordering, I stroll over to 7 - 11 (Even though I was tempted to stay and admire the eye candy), i order my slurpee, walk back, and my tacos are ready to go ! The Karaoke is still going strong, now having shifted from Latin Rock to Latin folk / Love Ballads. The preparation of my whole meal took about somewhere b/w 5 & 7 minutes total, & cost somewhere b/w 6 & 8 bux, i can't remember exactly. But when I got home to eat, the tacos were pretty good & the Rice and Black Beans side was fantastic ! I just wish the side portion was a little bigger b/c it was so yummy. After eating the tacos though I was sufficiently full. Under those circumstances, On a hot summer night when I needed a Slurpee, for a lonely single guy that loves beautiful latin girls and also loves eating tacos, this places was just what the Doctor ordered. read more

Great hole in the wall! It's very convenient, ethnic,no long lines and close to come. Every time I come here the food is great! The fajitas are great. They have a big fajita dish in the appetizer section that comes with yuca... Simply fabulous! The atmosphere is ehhh nothing great. Honestly I just come here for the food. Perfect place for a late night dinner. read more

This place was okay. We ordered takeout, took a while to get to us. The Supreme fajitas I got were just fine. My friends were satisfied with their meals and their nachos. The ceviche was absolutely inedible, however. The fish tasted rotten and like it had been frozen, the calamari rings were hard as rocks, and it was $3 more expensive than at any other restaurant I've ever had it out. We paid around $13 dollars for it, and I took two bites and threw the rest out. Huge waste of money. read more

People need to stop bagging on Taco Mex, yo. It was delicious. I got chicken tacos (asked for hard shell, got soft shell, no biggie ... happens in other restaurants all the time), and my boyfriend got something vegetarian and delicious that I don't remember. We also had some fried plantains and beans for the table. Freaking awesome. All of it. I ate my tacos faster than my boyfriend could finish his meal, which is saying something -- I'm a talker, which means I'm a slow eater. The fact that I beat him is a big deal. I wasn't crazy about their chips and salsa, but I'm not usually crazy about the chips and salsa in the DC area. It all tastes weird to me. I don't know why. Their jukebox was cracking me up. They were playing telenovelas on the TV and Nirvana on the jukebox. Now that I know they have karaoke nights, I want to go back. It was kind of in the middle of nowhere, though, so I doubt I'll go back, but if it's near you, stop by one night! You'll love the comida. read more

I placed an order from this place and the order took way longer than it should. I called to check on the status of the order and the girl that answered said she didn't know how long the food would take because its busy. I told her she must have at least an estimate. She hung up on me. I called back 6 times in a row and no one answered. I tried back the 7th time and the same girl answered. She said she didn't know. I asked to speak to a manager. She said ther was no manager. Then she said she doesn't speak English and hung up. What kind of service is this??? Why would you have someone who doesn't speak English in charge of communication??? I have ordered from this place plenty of times and never experienced this. I will never order again! I'd rather eat taco bell then give this place my money again!! read more

I ordered delivery from them thru Grub Hub. 2 Hours later when I called, they said they didn't have a driver. And nothing else. And this after they confirmed the order electronically. Too bad because the food is decent, but I won't be going back or ordering for delivery. read more

Was passing through and stopped by to grab dinner with a friend. This was close to their place, and when you're hungry, convenience is welcomed. It's a small restaurant and bar in a strip mall. First thing I notice when I walk in is the extremely garish table set up - square tables, white cloth under a plastic cover, a fake red flower in the middle.. eeek! There are tv's everywhere, behind the bar and on the other 2 walls, all showing soccer games, and there is authentic music playing, which directly contrasts with the huge electronic juke box on the wall. The place is dead, at 6-7pm on a Tuesday night. While we eat, a few people pick up carry out orders, but we're the only diners. Complimentary chips and what appears to be homemade salsa is served. Unlike a previous reviewer, my salsa was not bursting with cilantro - in fact, it barely had any. It was chock full of onions, and was somewhat watery. It was slightly on the bland side. Drinks were served promptly. Water was refilled regularly. We ordered the sampler platter - a mix of nachos, cheese quesadilla, chicken flauta?, and wings. Sadly, this dish came out maybe 5 minutes before our actual meals came out. It would have been nice had they spaced it out a bit more, but oh well. The sampler platter was decent, but not really worth the $9 in my opinion. I ordered Beef Fajitas ($16) on the recommendation of the server. I was going to order seafood but in her limited English, she mentioned for her, she preferred the fajitas. I don't know if this is because the seafood wasn't as fresh or just her type of food, but I'm not one to dislike fajitas, so awesome. My fajitas were sizzling. Awesome. Server also brought out a decent amount of fajitas 6-8 (some places seem to like bringing out 3 or 4 at a time - regardless of how many people at the table are eating fajitas - Rio Grande comes to mind.. :) ). Beef was well flavored. Otherwise, the fajitas are served with black beans, white rice, and a pico with tomatoes and onion (no cilantro?), sour cream, and guac. The guacamole isn't made in house - but is more the pre-bought kind with entirely too much acid/lime juice. It kind of soured my meal so i stopped eating it. My friend ordered the house specialty steak - which I didn't get the name of, but is pictured on the menu. It's a steak with a cream sauce, and shrimp on top. It's an unusual way to eat steak, but I tasted the sauce it and it was pretty good. comes with a side salad and beans. They apparently do Karaoke here and on those nights, this place is packed. It's good for a quick meal, but it's decent. However, some things were very well seasoned, and others were bland at best. 2.5 stars. read more

I should've listened to the reviews that were already posted. But no I decided to do a delivery order. My delivery was supposed to be dropped off in 45 to 60 minutes I waited 70 minutes before I called and yelps 24 eats said that it was still pending. I don't understand why yelp didn't follow through on this order being made. They called the restaurant and the restaurant didn't know anything about the order. I don't know where the miscommunication is but I won't ever eat at this restaurant and I don't think I'll use Yelp 24 eats again either. I feel yelp dropped the ball. read more

Will never order from this place again. They threw all the food together in one box and just gave me a huge mess. Tacos also are like the microwave ones. I'll pass on this place. read more

After a 5-hour drive from NYC in the pouring rain to mix our new album in Takoma Park in the morning, we were starving, and Taco Mex was everything we look for in a late-night dining experience: women's boxing on TV, romantic Mexican ballads blasting from the jukebox (followed by an even more romantic karaoke singer serenading the tables), nice staff, and some damn fine pupusas. Worth the 5-hour drive. read more

Horrible service. They Put in the wrong order in my to go order. Food was nasty. Whatever you do, don't order from here. Especially now when restaurants are struggling during COVID, spend your money elsewhere with a restaurant that really needs it. read more

They are good. Had the nachos. They give you a lot. They don't speak much English though. Also, don't expect a huge greeting/welcome. They are regular people. Just give them your order, pay for it and leave. I am giving them 4 stars since it took a little while for them to cook my food. If you want to order over the phone, have an interpreter avail... Just in case. read more

The customer service here is absolute trash. I ordered delivery here twice, and they never showed up. I tried 2 delivery services and they refused to answer the services phone calls. I was able to.get thru to them once, and when the person realised who I was, they hung up and refused to answer. I would give no stars if at all possible. read more

Service was horrible, mostly because the waitress speaks no english and didn't let on, so when I canceled my original order and replaced it, she brought out both. I was annoyed that the food took such a long time (we were the _only_ patrons), and that we were served three entrees and an appetizer for two people without a second glance. We didn't touch the third entree. But we were still charged for it all. Meh. read more

Yep tried to give them a chance despite the negative reviews. Placed a delivery order through Yelp and about 45 minutes later eat streets or whoever called to let me know they could not reach the restaurant and thus will be cancelling the order. Moral of the story: do not attempt to order delivery, everyone is right, you will never get it. Glad I opted to pay cash and did not pay with a card. read more

My family and I came here after having a horrible experience at another restaurant close by. We had a wonderful experience, ask for Vincent...you won't be sorry! read more

Our order took an hour and a half to get to us and the food was cold. I got the appetizer sampler and they didn't separate the wings from the sour cream and guacamole so the wings had sour cream on them which is nasty. The nachos were just soggy chips w melted shredded cheese on it. The quesadilla was delicious but the taco had some sort of mystery meat in it. The fact that the food was cold after taking forever to get to us is despicable and definetly not worth $20. The pupusa was good and my fries were cold n soggy. They didn't even answer the phone when I called multiple times. Take your business elsewhere especially if you want to eat soon. read more

As today, this is the 5th time I order from them,take out of course. Every single time it is the same story. I got there and the place was dead and the owner was there with two of his employees on their phones. No one said hi or anything, and I waited for a few minutes and I can see my food is ready on the counter. I waited for 15 mins and until I finally went to ask for their assurance and one of the employees shushed me because she was on the phone. Finally the lady charged my card and she got back on her phone without giving the food. That was rude and she forgot to give me my drink. This is the last time I go there. Unprofessional! read more
