1. Tipicos Gloria Restaurant, 482 Elden St

Reviews (from Yelp):

"Sometimes you stumble upon an amazing, authentic, hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint that forces you to mark the location on Google Maps so that you remember to go back again. This is one of those places. Seriously, this is as good as it gets. ... All the types of tacos were fantastic and so was the chicken tamale. Not to mention how cheap everything was." - Justin L.

"Really good and authentic. I am a fan more of flour tortillas though and they just have corn. The tacos I got came with fresh cilantro and fresh lime. I appreciate the quality ingredients! Also no cheese on these tacos!" - Lauren G.

2. Pupusas Express, 720 Grant St

Reviews (from Yelp):

"The tacos are amazing and cheap! They're only $2.60 each and they are filling. The tacos come with your choice of meat, onions, pick de gallo, avocado and a spicy sauce on the side. I'm not sure what the sauce is, it was green and very spicy. I couldn't handle it, so I left it off my tacos." - Sarah G.

"Way better than places like bar taco in my opinion. The interior is simple but the food is amazing. The tacos are delicious. One of the best In Herndon area." - Hae-Ri J.

3. Guapo’s Rotisserie Chicken & Tex Mex Grill, 1042 Elden St

Reviews (from Yelp):

"I got the chicken tacos and a corn tamale. Absolutely no regrets. The food was fresh and fast. The tacos were amazing. The tamale was perfectly seasoned. Needless to say I am a fan and will be coming back again and again." - Karl B.

"Great spot for lunch. They offer a wide variety of combination meals, but I usually stick with their delicious rotisserie chicken, yucca fries, and side salad. I've also tried their ground beef crispy taco platter and was not disappointed. Definitely a great value for your money." - Jess N.
