MOLE F-ING TACOS…read more And they are fantastic. It's all great! We had several tacos during a Saturday lunch visit. It was crowded and service is very deliberate so don't be in a rush. The place was clean and comfortable. We had the mole, the Pollo, the Al Pastor, and the chorizo and I'd be hard to tell you that any one was my "favorite". I feel like I need to go back to try more of the menu.

Stopped by Taco Bar El Guero and went straight for the burrito bowl--split between steak and…read morepastor. Honestly, both were excellent but in different ways: the steak had that nice charred flavor you want, while the pastor came through with a touch of sweetness and spice that kept every bite interesting. The toppings were fresh, portions generous, and everything felt well-balanced (not just rice filler like some spots do). What stood out was how flavorful the proteins were on their own--you could tell they marinate and season with care. The vibe here is casual and welcoming, the kind of place you can pop in for a quick bite, hang out with friends, pick up dry cleaning, or get gas. Yes you can do all of those things under the same roof. Prices are fair for the quality, and you definitely leave full. If you're in Gaithersburg craving Mexican street-style flavors, this spot is worth the stop.

Honestly, Taco Bar has been the best taqueria I've had in the east coast. I used to order it almost…read moreweekly, in college. Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

Love the salsa bar -- the salsas taste fresh and there's something for everyone. If you aren't vegetarian the chicken is tasty and the chicken burrito is a safe, decent choice. Overall Negatives: This is not a great place if you are vegetarian. I know they have veg items but they don't get the same attention to flavor and quality that the non-vegetarian items get. That's why my husband rated his chicken burrito higher than I rated my veggie tacos. We had more misses than hits here. Chicken burrito: minimal beans, lots of rice and pulled chicken that both had great flavor. A marginal hit, just really needed some texture because a tortilla filled with just chicken isn't a great burrito. Its's a "just fine" burrito. Veggie tacos: barely any beans or rice. Mostly big chucks of avocado (weird to not dice it) and sliced tomato and onion (again weird -- just dice it). All topped with a dairy bomb of sour cream and queso fresco that caused the whole taco to lose its structural Integrity. Desperately needed lots of salsa for flavor because nothing else had any. The thing is, you can make rice flavorful. You can make beans with flair and fun and taste. They just don't here. Disappointing miss. Nachos: good chips, good cheesy sauce. Barely any beans again and the big slices of avocado, onion, and tomato (about the size you see on a burger) made it difficult to eat anything but the chips and cheese sauce. Not "nachos" and definitely not a hit for us. Unfortunately this just wasn't for us. It's great to have stuff on your menu that accommodates different types of diners but it's important to actually show the "other" food equal attention to quality and flavor.

My friend and I had a taste for tacos so we thought we should try this place. I am always in that area and always wanted to try them so why not. The food was great. I ordered the carne asada quesadillas and my friend ordered the carne asada burrito bowl. Both had great flavor. The meat was cooked to the right temperature and had great seasoning. I only wish the tortilla for the quesadilla was cooked a little more. I would have enjoyed a good crunch. The burrito bowl was delicious as well. Very filling but not too heavy. The service was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They made sure that we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cool. Its a small authentic taco shop but it was very clean and organized which I always appreciate. It was a great experience. Check them out if you are in the area. Cheers!

One of my favorite things about going back home is introducing my boyfriend Kyler to the places I…read moregrew up loving, and La Casita was at the very top of my list. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is lively, and you always know you're going to leave happy. I'm originally from Honduras, and one of our staple dishes... arguably THE staple dish... is the baleada. A fresh flour tortilla filled with refried beans, cheese, and crema, with the option to add extras like eggs, avocado, or different meats. I knew this had to be where Kyler experienced his very first baleada. To say it was a success would be an understatement. Kyler isn't the most adventurous eater, so getting his stamp of approval is a pretty big deal. He's officially a fan for life! We were there with my mom, and all three of us ordered some variation of a baleada along with pupusas to share. I also had to introduce Kyler to our version of horchata, which is different from the Mexican horchata he was used to. As an added bonus, we happened to visit during the World Cup, and the energy in the restaurant made the experience even more fun. Between the familiar flavors, sharing a piece of my culture with someone I love, and the consistently great food, this meal ended up being one of the highlights of our trip back to Maryland. If you've never had a baleada before, let La Casita be your introduction. You won't regret it.

I enjoyed the nachos with the three different dips, but specifically enjoyed the thick cheese and guacamole. The birria tacos were extremely delicious with the consome being meaty, which was wonderful. Only downside to the visit was that it took about 20-30 minutes for the food to come out. Even when it came out, the food was kinda warm, which makes me think it may have sat for some time. I'm willing to go again, but hopefully get the food when it's hot and a little faster.
