Absolutely a 5-star experience! From the moment I arrived, Lani made everything feel welcoming and enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, perfect for sitting back and enjoying an amazing meal. The food was outstanding full of rich, authentic flavors that really stood out. The quesadillas were perfectly seasoned, and it was an overall experience read more

When getting ready to order on-line for the Kensington location, we noticed Tacos Don Perez has a Glenmont location which is closer to us. The Kensington location is store front while Glenmont is two trailers. When I think of a "food truck" I think of a very basic operation, go to the window, order food and wait. But Don Perez has on-line ordering, both an order and a pick up-up window and plenty of outdoor seating. I've only had the tacos because If given the opportunity I will order a taco. I love their chicken taco, the meat is shredded and flavorful and not overly spiced. I don't know what they do to the shells but they add so much. They are more soft than crunchy and are more than just a dull wrapping to hold the meat in. The tacos we order don't come with cheese but do have some crisp vegetables, I'd never thought of putting radish on a taco before, but now I'll never turn back. Of course, there is also a small container of green sauce and a wedge of lime. Not sure if it's included but we always make sure to have some pico de gallo. So happy to have discovered the Glenmont location. It's very near where Richard does volunteer work so I see a lot of taco lunches in my future. read more

Pretty good tacos. I would come back because the tacos carnitas were pretty alright. I wouldn't get the tacos pastor again. They weren't bad but maybe this spot does other meats better. Also had the shrimp tacos that were decent. I guess "decent" would be how I describe the food here on this trip... But something tells me to go back and get something different. The tamarind juice was good! I do appreciate how much meat they give you for the carnitas.... And prices were acceptable here. read more

Tacos Don Perez - Hot Cheeto Esquite (Corn in a Cup) - Food Trucks Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Best tacos ever. Offers a variety of other Mexican snacks and treats. Will definitely come again. It's an outdoor food stall with lots of outdoor seating. Once you order your food, you get a buzzer and pick up your food at another window. Tacos come with a few cucumber slices and radishes and two sauce packets. Love how each taco got its own lime wedge. 1. Chicken tinga (5/5): never had chicken so juicy. hard taco shell was the move. Good cheese too. 2. Al pastor (4.8/5): Sweet and juicy pork meat. Definitely worth. 3. Carne Asada (4/5): Super tasty, first non dry carne asada I've had in a while. 4. Hot Cheetos Esquites (4/5): A tad bit watery but still super yummy and delicious. Serving was a bit small for my liking but its ok:) read more

Very good taco spot in Silver Spring MD. Their tacos taste pretty authentic. If you like corn, do not skip out on their elote! This location started opening up earlier at 6:30am to serve breakfast. Hot chocolate was okay. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, but was hesitant because I'm pescatarian and they don't have too many options for me. Veggie tacos are typically lackluster but this was definitely not the case here. The cheese and salsa were a great touch. I also really liked their corn tortillas. I enjoyed the vegetable taco more than the "the flor de calabaza", but even that one wasn't bad. The esquite was also tasty. I will definitely be back! read more

We ordered online, but after being able to check in with the cashier. They were able to get it ready for us faster than the expected time! THANK YOU! We got 2 orders of 3 different tacos. The birria tacos are hands down delicious! It comes with the birria stew which you use to dip your taco in. It is a little messy, but what food doesn't come with a little bit of a mess? If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, this is a must-try! Their al pastor was delicious as well! It's on the sweet side with pineapples and a must-try. I was definitely a fan of their green sauce as well! There's lots of seating, even though parking can be a little confusing in front of their trunk. But there are many different parking spots available apart from that. The staff was very kind, I'm just grateful again for the service! read more

Tacos Don Perez - Birria and quesadilla - Food Trucks Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Tuesday 3/4/25 I made a call for takeout, and the phone service could've been better, but luckily the in-person service I experienced was a lot better. I got the birria con consommé quesadillas $16, al pastor taco $3.65, carne asada taco $3.65, tinga de pollo taco $3.65, pineapple: agua Fresca $3, mangonada $6, pastel de tres leches $4.50, and the Oreo mousse cake $4.50. Just some notes before we get to the food: I made the call in order at 12:07 pm and the food was ready by 12:40 pm, I was looking forward to the churro cheesecake but it was out of stock, and lastly I should've been charged $10.75 for the 3 tacos meal but instead they charged me individually for each taco. - The birria con consommé quesadillas were GOOD and fairly priced. The quesadillas were cheesy, the birria meat was good, and it paired very well with the consommé. - The Al pastor taco was alright and I'd probably rank it as the second best taco of the three. - The carne asada was decent and easily the best of the 3 tacos. Steak tacos done well are always good. - The tinga de pollo taco was the weakest of the 3 tacos, the chicken had no flavor. - The pastel de tres leches (with cinnamon) surprised me as it was one of the better tres leches desserts that I've had and it's only $4.50. - The mangonada was an experience (to say the least) as it was my first time having one. I best describe this as an acquired taste because it's popular, but I wasn't a fan. - The Pineapple: Agua Fresca was mediocre. It was watered down, and the pineapple flavor I was looking forward to was not present. - The Oreo mousse cake was alright, but I wouldn't get it again. My experience at Tacos Don Perez was mostly good, and I would be open to coming back to try more items. Hopefully, the churro cheesecake will be available next time. read more

Had a bad experience here recently. Stood in line while person in front of me finished their order. Then a second window took the order of the family behind me while the person at my window walked away. Spent significant time away from window. Came back and looked at me and then pretended I wasn't there for half a minute. No hello or I'll be right with you. I assumed they didn't want to serve me and left. I was starving and I was planning to put in a huge order for me and my family. I didn't bother complaining because I can spend my money elsewhere. - the Black lady with the poodle read more

SO good. I consider myself to be a fake taco fan only because I don't like corn tortillas LOL BUT this is the only place where I find them delicious. Their birria tacos are my favorite but non of the items on the menu disappoint. The staff is friendly, food is quick, and their outside seating area is a nice touch. read more

Yum! This place is amazing and definitely a gem in Silver Spring. Located around the corner from a Sunoco gas station, Tacos Don Perez has quite a large space for outdoor seating and operates out of two food trucks: One for ordering/payment (items like dessert and elote are also dispensed here) and the other for order pickup. The employees were nice and genuinely excited for me to try the food. I was also given a buzzer after ordering to help advise me when the food would be ready. They also accept orders over the phone and online (in addition to walk-ups). I ordered the 3 Pollo Quesatacos as well as the Tres Leche with raspberry drizzle. Every bite for the tacos and the cake was flavorful and well-balanced. The tacos were meaty and everything was fresh. I loved the red (spicy) and green salsa packets included alongside the tacos (as well as slices of cucumber and radish and lime as the garnish). Ugh, the Tres Leches was devastatingly scrumptious. It was sweet and very moist. I loved the slight tartness the raspberry drizzle (on the frosting) offered. I wish I had gotten more than just the single order of the cake. Lots of parking close to the food trucks since it's located across from a shopping center as well. read more

Great food and service! Great atmosphere so clean inside. Lani was so sweet! Highly recommend!!

I'm kind of sad that I found this place. Since it's really close to my gym, I have a feeling that I might undo my workouts by stopping at Tacos Don Perez for a post-workout meal. Tacos Don Perez is pretty much a large, outdoor taco stand that has a great variety of tacos and other Mexican dishes. For my order, I went with three tacos (I forget which ones I ordered). Overall, I thought my tacos were perfectly prepared. After finishing the tacos, I wished that I had ordered a few more. Also, the prices is pretty much on par with other places in the area. I believe my three tacos were about $11. If you visit outside of regular lunch hours (or before the kiddos are dismissed from school), the service is pretty fast. However the lines can be a bit long, which I guess confirms that this is a good place for tacos. The only downside to this spot are: 1. It's outdoors, so it probably will not be fun to eat here during the winter. 2. It's in a parking lot near a gas station, so you might smell a bit of gas while consuming your tacos. I definitely plan on returning to try more things from the menu. read more

This place is like a hidden gem. It's stationed outside a small gas station and the first time I couldn't find it. Saturday afternoon was pretty chill as there were tables filled with customers. Not fully packed but just enough. We ordered a half tray of the lengths tacos. Two refreshments, Pineapple & tamarind! We didn't have to wait long for our order as we just sat down at one of the picnic tables they had set up outside. Food tasted yummy. The drinks made everything better together. Will definitely have to come back to try the elotes!! read more

I ventured to the Tacos Don Perez trailer and, as expected, found a line of folks waiting for some genuine Mexican flavor. But the line moved quick and I found myself driving home with a cheese quesadilla, veggie torta, and a special dessert of sliced strawberries and bananas over pancake balls. The first thing you'll notice at TDP is that everything is HUGE! The cheese Quesadilla barely fit into the container, and this was after it was wrapped in half. The quesadilla alone could have fed my entire family. And it was delicious! Not too greasy, very cheesy, and they gave plenty of salsa/sauce to spread over it. The veggie torta was also GINORMOUS, stuffed full of mushrooms and assorted veggies, crisp and fresh, again with plenty of sauces to spread around. The dessert was a nice finishing touch, but we were so stuffed, we couldn't finish it - save for later! Tacos Don Perez is the bomb - you want BIG Mexican flavors, you can find it in the trailer. Definitely coming back to this place. You should give it a try! read more

I'm so glad I finally got to try this place! They have really good birria tacos. The line was quite long when we got there on a Sunday night, but it moved pretty quickly. There were also lots of people using the outdoor seating, however, we got lucky and found a spot to sit while waiting in line. You order your food from one truck and pick it up from the other. They give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. We ordered the birria taco tray which came with 12 tacos and 4 consomes, split between 3 people. The tacos were flavorful and not dry. I also liked how the consome wasn't too spicy. The sauces that came with it were also a nice touch. We also shared the hot cheeto-covered elote which was amazing. It was my first time trying something like that. I liked how it was a good balance of acidity and creamy sauce. We also split a tres leches cake which was bomb!! The perfect dessert to end a meal. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the DMV! read more

Stumbled upon this taco truck yesterday and the food was pretty good. We ordered the birria tacos, chicken tacos, and a carne quesadilla to go. They were all pretty flavorful but the taco shells could have been better. I'm a taco lover and expected more from these because of the authenticity and the parking lot was packed full of customers. I also tried the churro cheesecake which was good but it didn't really give me cheesecake vibes. More of a cinnamon roll flavor with strawberries on top, Idk I couldn't put my finger on it. Also they are a little pricey. My bill was $50 and I still don't know why lol. The staff was very friendly and the line moved very quickly. Our food also came out in a timely manner even with the long line. There is a seating area but it was a little messy. The parking lot is a little crazy but there is lots of parking. You can also order ahead which is a plus if you don't want to wait in line. read more

Good food, but didn't match up to same quality, taste, and service as last time. I ordered 4 tacos and only received 2; I had to go back and tell them and got 1 taco back. I got the Al Pastor, Lengua, Mushroom, and Carne Asada...they never gave me my Carne Asada taco. By the time I realized, it was too late. To sample more of the menu, I tried their Flan, Tres Leches, Horchata, Lengua taco, and Sandía/Watermelon agua fresca. Their Agua Frescas are a safe bet- the watermelon was refreshing and delicious. However, I found the other 3 items more disappointing. The Flan was bland and the caramel didn't taste the best and how a good homemade caramel sauce should taste. The Tres Leches was basic and bland, but that could be simply because I don't like Tres Leches cake (I was hoping TDP could change my mind.) Their Horchata was okay- incredibly sweet but I've had better. To get back another 4th taco I ordered the flor de calabaza. Good, but I noticed this time around, their cheese upsets my stomach fast. Last time this never occurred. Still would try when in the area, but I know my favorite items and limits. You should definitely try their agua frescas- I liked their Al Pastor this time around. The Lengua wasn't the best- I've had better Lengua tacos and these were an odd texture read more

No doubt the best taco truck in MoCo is Tacos Don Perez. They have a killer birria taco. They're one of the few places that can prepare a mangonada the correct way. I have also tried the street tacos with carne asada. Delicious! read more

This place has been on my radar for quite a while, but just never quite found the opportunity to go until now. On the way back from deep MoCo, it was rush hour... it was going to take me an hour to get home. So instead of enduring the traffic, I took advantage and made my way to this food truck... or should I say trucks?! Next to a gas station, Tacos Don Perez has it all -- a little area enclosed by the food truck and a small building for employees only, music bumping, and plenty of long benches to sit at. Mind you, it's all outdoors -- so in the dead of winter you will not enjoy yourself. But in the other seasons, I could see it being a party out there!!! So the right side is where you make your order, and there are plenty of menus scattered around so you can make your decision before reaching the front of the line. I decided to go for all the veggie ones except the mushrooms. My options were corn smut (fungus), mixed veggie & pumpkin flower... neat right??? So I placed my order and received a buzzer that would tell me when to pick up my order on the left side. What a treat!!! Each taco was packed with a unique flavor and came with the fixings -- the radish, the cucumbers, the limes, sauce... but what I wasn't expecting (though the menu DID say quesatacos) was the amount of cheese on each one. As one of my favorite TikTok creators says, "It ain't gonna slide down easy if it ain't cheesy!" They were amazing, but I could do without the cheese next time... for health purposes. There's plenty of other stuff to try, like chocolate bananas and mangonada... I'm looking forward to it for sure! If you haven't tried them yet, DO IT! read more

My favorite taco spot! I heard many good things about this place before trying it and been going here for tacos ever since. My husband and I usually order the same thing when we go (birria, elote, quesadilla, and mangonada). My husband loves his birria and I love my quesadilla. Everything is well seasoned and so tasty. I especially love their elote. I have tried elote at different places but think this one has the best elote! The service is great. Everyone seems so nice and friendly. The place itself is colorful and festive with all the colors. One thing though, depends on the time of the day that you go, I usually order online and pick up but the schedule pick up time is at least 30 minutes, while you go there order in person and can pick up in 10. read more

My friends have been raving about this place for years and I finally stopped by. They feature 2 large food trucks right by the Truist bank and Food Mart gas station. I stopped by on a week night and the line was 20 deep. I ordered 3 Birria tacos and the Birria quesadilla via their website and the wait time was less than 30 minutes. The food came out fresh and was packed with plenty of marinated beef. The oaxaca cheese was so creamy and delicious. They don't skimp you on the consume either. It's a fairly large serving with plenty of flavor and rice. My friend and I really enjoyed our experience here. We both agreed that this was one of our best taco experiences here and reminded us of the taco trucks in Cali. The staff is really friendly and they have plenty of tables to sit to enjoy your food with. You get great value here. It's rare to get food with this type of quality for the prices that we paid. I'll definitely be back to try their other tacos and elotes. read more
