    a man ordering food from a food truck
    Hannah H.

    Taqueria Ajua is one of the few food trucks you'll find in the large parking lot, by the Unique thrift store. You can't miss it, as it's silver in color and is the only one with the long lines! The menu is simple, offering tacos, tortas, quesdillas, burritos, platters, and various specials, such as the birria). We came here for lunch, and we ordered: +a pollo taco - this tasted much better than it looked, but the chicken could have been more flavorful +a carne asada taco - wasn't really a fan of the flavors of the carne asada, as it was bland +birria - comes as a set of 3 or 4; probably one of the best birrias we've had on the east coast! These were crispy, and the filling of the birria was super generous, flavorful, and even heightened when dipping in the consommé +barbacoa de res - comes as a set of 3 or 4; these were generously filled with the shredded beef; definitely better when dipped in the birria's consommé +and, horchata - wasn't a fan of this drink, as it had an off-putting floral note to it; didn't like this rendition of it Service was super friendly and welcoming! There's also a table with a handful of chairs if you'd like to enjoy your food; most seem to call ahead or get their orders to go. Definitely would come back for their birria! Plenty of parking in the large lot. +delicious birrias! +friendly service! +plenty of parking

    Solid taco truck! Made fresh to order, there's a reason there's a line. We tried a few different tacos and torta, all were great. Can't wait to come back.

    Great salsas on these tacos!

    Extremely good tacos. The Al Pastor Taco is awesome, generous portions and well spiced. Authentic mexican. No pupusas here! 3 bucks each. Great stuff.!

    Oh, I can't believe I didn't leave a review for the spot, even though I've been a few times though!…read moreIt's been a while, but man are they delicious. I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

    Nice ambiance and good brunch menu offerings. I didn't know that they only offered brunch during…read morethe weekend so I was a little disappointed as I wanted to try something more complex but we enjoyed what we ate. Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

    summary: a smallish taqueria located on the corner of Montgomery County, it thoroughly impressed…read morewith not just the food, but the "little things" along the way. Dining with kids can be challenging, so it's always nice when restaurants and staff are accommodating. The staff at Sabor Mixteca went above and beyond that. They were super fast with their service, but also showed warmth and kindness the entire time that made the meal delightful. The decor in the restaurant is vibrant and fun. They also had a clean, well-kept bathroom. The food was great. Everything came out in a timely manner and was excellently flavored and balanced. You could tell that this wasn't just like your run-of-the-mill taco joint. The flavors had a depth (especially the guisado) that brought things up a notch. But, like I was saying - although the food was great and memorable, I was really appreciative of how awesome the staff was and would love visiting again if we're in the area. Would definitely recommend.

    Overall: small Mexican spot with welcoming and kind service, good food, fair prices, bright and fun…read moredecor, has a single stall inclusive restroom, a baby changing table, and high chairs I felt super welcomed by the employees here. They were all sweet, kind, and happy to help. The kids got cute kids cups with silly straws. Chips and salsa were not included. The chips and salsa were the only things we weren't impressed with. Everything else was delicious. My shrimp tacos were full and had great flavor. They fell apart while eating them, maybe if they had less sauce or the tortilla was grilled a little more it would have held up but they were so good I didn't even mind it. Our kids and my partner loved all of their food as well.

    Let's call this an off day for Chidos in Silver Spring. We had two drinks, a strawberry margarita…read moreand a mojito, both lacking liquor and mostly sugar. We ordered the seafood enchiladas and the fish tacos. The shrimp and scallops were probably defrosted unfortunately when cooked tasted like potatoes. The salmon tacos ok, though was hoping it was tilapia instead. Service always great even though they push hard to buy another drink more than once. Ambiance at this restaurant spot on for a Mexican restaurant and one of the cleanest and beautifully decorated restrooms. Will I come back probably but I won't order the seafood enchiladas and I'll stay away from the frozen drinks.
