I spent more than half my life eating Mexican food in Southern California so I was excited to try this place out. We ordered the goat tacos, and some carne asada burritos. They were good but didn't...

I have been searching for a good Mexican restaurant that serves SoCal type of Mexican food since I've moved here. My search finally came to an end when another Yelper told me about this place. I was...

Everything here taste so good and is so cheap. The tacos with 2 soft corn tortillas wrapped around your choice of goat, chicken, sausage, or tongue. The pupusas in many varieties with cabbage and hot...

Having grown up in the LA area - blessed with some of the best Mexican food around - I was on a mission to find authentic Mexican tacos/burritos (something similar to King Taco/El Taurino) when I...

Given all the good reviews, my review is completely unnecessary, but I feel so strongly about this place that I am compelled to write. You will not be disappointed here at all. The food is the best...

4.50 stars. This is the best taqueria in the greater DC metro area. The steak tacos here are heavenly, and they come at a ridiculously cheap price point. I thoroughly enjoyed the black bean paste...

Big portions made quickly. My meal was beef wrapped in corn tortillas, along with refried beans and lettuce. The pupusas are really good. This is more of a carryout, since there is no seating. That's...

I'm not a fan of Mexican food and I was hoping a trip to ECC for their authentic tacos would change that. It didn't. Don't get me wrong, if you like Mexican food, it's worth a try.I got a beef taco...

I really want to deduct half a star just for being slightly out of walking range from my apartment, but that's really not fair. And I can't do it, so yeah. Anyway, we had a power outage today, so my...

You can't beat the price and its uber good. You will miss it if you don't keep an eye out for it. I went there for lunch today and ordered three tacos. This isn't your grade D beef but edible taco...

El Charrito is a small blink-and-you'll-miss-it place right off of Washington Blvd. I did indeed miss it many a time during my commutes to and from D.C. to Arlington or Falls Church. It's tiny--only...

I've probably run or driven by this place dozens of times and never really noticed it. I never would've tried it without Yelp. They even have a "Find us on Yelp" sign inside. There was a crowd of...

Edit 3/23/2008: This is easily my favorite restaurant in the metro DC area. I can't get enough. I've been having the tortas here recently and they're absolutely amazing. I can't even convey how...

Holy f'in COW!!! Now THIS is close to So Cal for me!Wow, so I started out trying to eat at Pho 75, but they were closed (on a Thursday?) and I needed somewhere else to go. I decided to give ECC a...

The goat burrito is one of the greatest meals I've ever had. The combination tacos (all the meats; goat, tongue, chicken, beef, etc.) are quite FN tasty as well. Even the pupasas are stand out...

Great, humble, good food. I love the pupusas and the beef tacos are a little slice of heaven. We first stopped by a couple of Saturdays ago when it was a little overcast and there was no one in...

My pork burrito was really good. The tortilla was fresh, and the cubes of pork were well fried. It reminded me of my days in Cali. Takeout only, cash only, no receipt. It's not a huge burrito, but...

For about 15 years before this taqueria was born, the family that owns it sold their tacos via street carts. The shop isn't that much bigger, with only a handful of stools at a counter, as ECC focuses...

Awesome goat, chorizo, pork, and beef tacos, and lorocco pupusas (herb/cheese). They have tongue tacos too. The yuca con chicharon is good too. Its a dive witha few stools. The DC competition is...

My favorite place in Arlington (or pretty much anywhere, so far) for tacos and pupusas. Try the goat or beef tacos (the chicken is pretty good, but not quite as good!), and the loroco pupusas, which...

A great place to go for Mexican and Salvadorean food. It's the closest I've found to the taqueiras in San Francisco's Mission District. (It's not that close, but as good as it gets in DC.)I like their...
