    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.

    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:)

    Birria and quesadilla

    Amazing food and big portions! Their birria tacos and steak quesadilla are so good with super good cheese. Loved the hot sauces too. Nice sitting area also.

    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!

    Delicious food! I was first introduced to this business from a Yelp elite experience. I had been meaning to come back on my own and didn't until recently. Parking is tight. Easy to place an order at one truck and pickup from the adjacent truck. There's plenty of seating (outdoor). Friendly employees! I got carne asada tacos - liked them. The prices were fair!

    Menu (3/4/25)
    Xavier I.

    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.

    Three tacos for $11

    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.

    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!!

    Veggie torta - look at those mushrooms!
    Paul J.

    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!

    Tacos Don Perez is a true MoCo classic. It combines the simplicity, Service & quality of a traditional food truck with the consistency and reliable hours of a restaurant, making it one of the best spots for tacos in the county.

    Chorizo, Carne Asada, & Lengua Tacos (5 stars)
    Phi N.

    Not sure how I haven't left them a review yet. Probably the best tacos that I've had anywhere and I've lived in Cali and Vegas for quite a while now (but glenmont will always be home). Also definitely some of my favorite taco hot sauces. The lengua here is perfect, but the chorizo and carne asada tacos are equally delicious

    Birria
    Nikita D.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food tacos don Perez is the place to go! The tacos were delicious and well seasoned. The chicken and carne asada were cooked perfectly and the birria had the right meat to cheese ratio. Their food is delicious and full of flavor.

    I was introduced to Trippy Taco via a Yelp experience. Since I was happy with what I saw (or…read morerather, with what I ate), I've dropped by Trippy Tacos on a few occasions to satisfy taco cravings. Overall, I cannot complain about the food, quality, service and price. Tacos will typically run $3-$4, which is a bit standard for the area, and they are loaded with plenty of fixings. Also, Trippy has daily specials for certain items on the menu. For small place, the restaurant has a pretty extensive Tex-Mex menu, so I think everyone should find something that they'll like. Although the restaurant has some seating, this place is more of a take-out spot. One tip: I highly recommend ordering before arriving to Trippy Taco, so you can simply grab and go. Unfortunately, parking is a bit limited and tight (like most places in this area). While the food, service and prices are pretty good, I'll admit that I would not go too far out of my way to visit since there are no shortage of Tex-Mex spots in the area. But, it's a great spot to check out on your way from Point A to Point B. Usually, I visit on my way home from the gym (to undo the benefits of my workout).

    I am not an expert of Latin foods but this place make me feel mouth- watering. This is my first…read moretime here, I tried to order 3 flavors Tacos (Beef, Chicken, Pork) and Chicken empanadas. They were better than I expected. All looks very appetizing and smell so good. It seems really homemade style, fresh ingredients and aromatic. The chicken empanadas are surprisingly huge and you got 2 pieces for $11, that is reasonable, for me. As well as Tacos cost just about $3-4 each, it is a soft Taco with corn tortilla and flavorful seasoned filling, plus green salsa - that's perfect combination. I have not much to say about service, as it was a take out by online order but it was smoothly pick-up, everything was ready and packed nicely when I was arrived. The restaurant is quite tiny and old building at the back, but there are plenty free parking available around. Mainly for take out order but I think you can dine-in too - there are some seating table inside and outside. The Trippy Taco menu seem variety and interesting. They have not only Taco, but also a lot selection of Burrito, Soup, Quesadillas, Sandwich. Nacho and Fries. Yes, don't judge a book by its cover before you explore it.
