Taqueria La Placita - Hyattsville

Incredible tacos! What stood out to me a was how perfectly each of the meats was cooked, none of them were dry or chewy. The two house made salsas were incredible, flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Sortido perfectly cooked pork, chopped together into a melange of flavor and texture, served with a sprinkle of cilantro, paired perfectly with the salsa verde. Pastor All about the seasonings, ribbons of heavily spiced pork, absent were the sugary pineapple chucks somewhat ubiquitous in Al Pastor, and all the better for it! This was some of the best Pastor I’ve ever had, elevated just a little more by the picante salsa roja Lengua delicate flavor with a melt on your tongue texture. A personal favorite. Suadero suave beef, cooked to perfection and seasoned lightly, paired well with salted onions and spicy red salsa. Barbacoa savory lamb with a rich molé. It had a discernible lamb flavor that might put some people off but if you enjoy lamb it’s worth getting two. Chorizo soo flavorful, a well executed classic. Carnitas still tender and moist, with perfectly crispy edges! I would absolutely eat here again, and would probably drive considerable distances to get these tacos.

One of few things I miss about Cali is the street tacos. This is legitimately the best tacos I've had on the east coast. I just drove 30 minutes to get them and I'll probably do it again in a few days. It's fresh. High quality. Delicious. Price is slightly high but it's worth it for me. The portions are generous.

Stopped in for lunch and had some of the best tacos! They really are amazing. We got carne asada and al pastor tacos, both were fantastic! We ate there lots of seating outside. Tacos were brought out very fast, and for a great price

The meat is poorly cut, with large chunks of gristle and inedible pieces. The tortillas are not handmade, and the wait time is excessive. Overall, the food is not worth it. I recommend going next door; they have much better options. This food was quite disappointing. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I prefer not to criticize a restaurant solely based on its appearance, but I found the establishment to be quite dirty, which really diminished my appetite. Additionally, the desserts were overpriced, and I was hoping for something delicious, but mine was burnt. The meat lacked flavor and was overly watery—overall, it was a terrible experience. Unfortunately, I didn't think to leave a review until after I had left, but I regret spending both my time and money there, especially since it's a 30-minute drive back. I believe the management should pay attention to customer feedback to improve and consistently deliver quality food, particularly given their high prices.
