Reviews for Taco Bar El Guero in Gaithersburg, MD
Not bad but not great either. Generous portions of so-so flavored fillings; long on quantity but short on quality. I sampled 4... different tacos, each with cilantro and onion, but only finished only two of them. Their grilled chicken is more a pulledchicken and the flavor was lacking. I had a few bites and left the rest. Just meh. The bistec (steak) was really bad. Meat wasrubbery and flavorless, looked like it was boiled rather than grilled. Had one bite. The al pastor was a bit better, the meatwas better seasoned. Would recommend this one. The chorizo was the best, their house marinade added enough flavor to make thisworth the trip. Service was so-so. It took a while for the orders to be ready, and they don't have basic things like selfservice salsas or water, you have to ask for those. Read more

Unassuming, understated hidden gem!! Small little spot with tables out back, you can often find people hanging out there... enjoying their food and a cold one. They also have a small but decent selection of wine. Next to a gas station and oil changeyou would never think! Really friendly staff and fast service. This spot really hits! I definitely recommend you check out theirtacos! Read more
Delicious, authentic food. This place is always on the list of Maryland best places to eat that only the locals know about. The... food is fresh and delicious. The staff is fast and get the orders out in pretty good time. It can get crowded when it gets busybut the food is so worth it. Definitely worth a try. Read more
Affordable. Bistec and Al Pastor are recommened burritos! They have more tables outdoors. PS. When you eat outdoors, birds will... start coming at you and it won't hurt to feed them some rice. ?? Read more
Unfortunately I didn't have as positive of an experience as many others did, and I'm not quite sure why that is. I got 3 tacos,... beef, ribs and pork and all 3 of them were quite bland and dry. Quote frankly, I haven't had a dryer and worse taco in my life.They were also incredibly bland, with seemingly no flavor whatsoever. In fact, the french fries I got were the best part of mymeal as they were properly salted, thus I could actually enjoy them. The portion size was quite large, but I think they shouldfocus on flavor and taste more then just quantity. This could have been a one time bad meal, but the meat was so bad and dry Ihonestly don't think so. Read more
This place it?s not big, therefore, can?t accommodate many people but they do have a few tables in case you need a quick bite.... HOWEVER, let me tell you the pros...They?re fast, even when they have a line, I?ve never waited longer than 15min. The food isDELICIOUS and portions are pretty decent!!! And their prices are very reasonable. Last but not least, you must try their 3leches cake. ?? I?m so happy I discovered this gem. Read more
So I'm from the Four corners area and I know we all cook pinto beans, carne, chili's, hominy, etc all different. Not that I'm an... expert but I think growing up eating this and maybe having over ....at least 70 bowls of this in my lifetime.There is a smallsitting place outside where we sat with our dog but you have to fend off the birds who try to sneak in for tidbits. They alsohave a wide selection of Mexican and domestic beer along with wine at this location but it's carry out ONLY. I don't thinkpozole or where I come from "posole" should be this oily but I pushed on since it did smell good. I dug out all the hominy andmeat, which was an okay amount for me but for a guy I don't think it would be enough.Personally I think the meat looks shredded,the same meat in the taco that my husband previously ordered. I'm used to having chunks of pork or chicken because thats how Iknow its boiled with hominy. Also there was alot of lettuce which gave a fun crunchy texture a bit odd. At least it's servedwith lime, cilantro, and onion..... whew... that was normal. Lastly, no flour tortilla.... oh!!! Why???!! Why? Me!!??? ...kidding, it comes with a deep fried corn tortilla. Like the quarter inch of oil sheen on top of the soup isn't enough. So goodluck, it's tasty but I walked away feeling very unhealthy. Read more
