Reviews for Far East Taco Grille in 635 Florida Ave NE, WA
I typically don?t like dc food spots and I think tacos are overrated BUT this place is actually really good and I?d come back. I... ordered the beef, grilled shrimp, grilled octopus, and fried fish. They were all good but I like the first three the best. Read more
It?s really interesting to read all these wonderful reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was so disappointing that I?m actually... writing a review. I was really excited to try them out and was disappointed by how dirty it was when I came in. There was trashleft near the ordering kiosk (like someone ate their food there and left the rest) and food on another table that could haveeasily been wiped up. My food, honestly, just tasted burnt and flavorless. I ordered 3 tacos: chicken, shrimp, and steak; andall three meats were well over cooked. I ordered the sauces and pico de gallo on the side so my tortillas wouldn?t be soggy andeven those didn't fix it. Come to think of it, they were flavorless too. The prices online are different than they are in storebut it doesn?t matter because everything online is out of stock. They do not answer there phones so ordering ahead was not anoption either. The cashier was really kind though so two stars for her! I?m the kind of person to try just about anything twice,but it?ll be a while, IF ever decide to try them again. Read more
The place is clean, a little bit away from the rest of the bustling market. The tacos me and my wife ordered were great - they... had a big selection of meats and accessory food items to place on your tacos. We also ordered some chips and salsa - this was aridiculous $5.75 so I expected something exceptional. Nope, a small bag of chips and some pre made salsa. It?s highly irregularso see such a upcharge on a item that customarily free at Mexican places. Read more
Really delicious food, friendly staff, but not the best location. I had the spicy pork burrito with their recommended fixin's... and some of the creamy spicy mayotta sauce. It was absolutely delicious, one of the better fusion burritos I've tasted. I alsosampled the Tex Mex egg rolls with chicken, corn, black bean, roasted red peppers, onion, and cheese accompanied with cilantroranch dip. It was also really tasty. I imagine the other things on the menu are quite good too but I am not sure I'll be backbecause it's a bit of a trek for me, and on a random corner in NE. Definitely recommended if you're close by, and saw tons oflocals pick up orders to go from there. Read more
We LOVED the tacos here! So much interesting flavor and perfectly balanced. My favorite was Mango Love while my wife loved hers... Fresco style. Highly recommended and will definitely return when we are in town again. Quick tip - we discovered that the sourcream is on the sweet side (rather than sour). Read more
This is where I go for my cheat meal every week! The food is exceptional and they don?t stiff you on the portions. Every time... family comes to visit me I bring them here. Now, when I go home they ask me to load my suitcase with Far East taco lol Read more
UPDATE 4/23/21: adding a star back. Why? Because they?ve picked up the quality and consistency of the takeout food. Have ordered... 3 more times since last year and have enjoyed it very time. Solid ameri-Tex like Mexican egg rolls and tacos that satisfy thetaste buds but destroy your calorie count. UPDATE 1/4/20: dropping a star. Here?s why: Very significant decline in quality andvolume of food since our last two experiences. We have ordered food from here three times, all delivered through Yelp (i.e. grubhub). Really disappointing because it was one of our favorite places. Quantity: There used to be two egg rolls per order. Nowone. And the one we received was noticeably less stuffed with food. Quality: Everything we ordered was of lower quality thanthe past two times. The fried egg roll was soft and chewy. The pork belly was so hard to chew i gave most of it to our dog. Bothorders of tacos were slightly cold when they arrived. Read more
Great tacos, definitely will be back. The computer ordering system could be improved and easier to navigate, but overall great.
