Edgewater Tacos — among the best mexican in Edgewater. Traditional preparation with honest flavors. The welcome here is real, and family-run. Keley Villanova: "The carnitas were juicy, tender, well seasoned"

“The food is beyond delicious, it's an emotional roller coaster that speaks to the experience that goes into the food”
Extremely disappointing customer service.
Took entirely too long for 2 steak tacos which wasn’t good at all!!!
Note to the owner: when customers feel your food is a poor value, it's not a great idea to double down and say "no one forced you to order them." Yes, I saw the price in advance.

“First time coming to Edgewater tacos and I have to say we were thoroughly impressed.”
First time coming to Edgewater tacos and I have to say we were thoroughly impressed! We got 2 tacos, the al pastor burrito, an empanada and the Mexican style corn! Everything was absolutely delicious. Street food style and a good spot to stop for a quick lunch!

“Always delicious.”
Always delicious. Green salsa is amazing. Been coming here for years. The new slushies are perfect on a hot day. Highly recommend stopping by. Plus the owner is wonderful.

After seeing photos on Facebook, we finally gave this place a try, and it’s officially our new favorite taco spot! We ordered the Al Pastor, Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Chicken tacos, and every single one was packed with flavor. The meats were incredibly tender, but the Al Pastor stood out—it’s an absolute must-try!!

I went to Edgewater Tacos for lunch and ordered 2 carnitas tacos with cilantro and onion as well as an elote (street corn). It took about 13 minutes to get my food after ordering as everything is cooked to order. The tacos were delicious!! The carnitas were juicy, tender, well seasoned. I wish I ordered three more. The elote was great as well, nothing too crazy. Highly recommend!! The tacos are $3.50 each which is on the more expensive side of street tacos but truly they are worth it. You can taste the freshness. This restaurant only offers take out orders. You can order and wait for your food in their awning. No seating available even while waiting for your food.

“I know this place is good because it's so popular.”
I know this place is good because it's so popular. But I maybe arrived kinda late or something last night because the chicken burrito I got was not great. Was really dry tbh. My friends asked if I ordered a "sponge", which got big laffs in the group chat. I'm going to try again soon though.

“Patty, the owner, is always friendly and inviting.”
Patty, the owner, is always friendly and inviting! (She even offered us a little bowl for the puppy's water!) The new patio area was great for those looking to eat right away, as ET had closed their indoor dining during 2020. The food is still amazing as ever though, with a few special favorite items to highlight being: Mangonada, Asada tacos and tostadas, al pastor tacos, chocoflan, some traditional green salsa that will have your mouth watering for more, and in-house made horchata!

“Edgewater Tacos is where it is at.”
Edgewater Tacos is where it is at! You can taste the love and magic in each bite. There isn’t anything on this menu I wouldn’t recommend. Even my babe appreciated being treated like a kween with a special pup treat. The food, the service and the all around vibe of Edgewater Tacos is something to definitely experience!

Where else would I go on Tuesday 2-22-22? Edgewater Tacos was on my mind from the minute I woke up on this special "Taco Tuesday"! Patty and her crew are amazing! Food is outstanding and everyone is so polite. I keep trying new things on the rather large menu, and nothing falls short of spectacular. A delicious addition to the Edgewater neighborhood.

“Very nice staff, quick, and delicious food.”
Very nice staff, quick, and delicious food! My favorite taco was al pastor with grilled pineapple! Very authentic and it comes mild, so you can make it as spicy as your non-heartburn body desires!

“A+ without even thinking about it.”
A+ without even thinking about it. Everything was fantastic. Their crunchy tacos were the perfect crispness without being greasy. The chicken tacos were generously filled. Super fresh onions and cilantro. The green salsa was flavorful and had a spicy bite to it. Lastly, get a churro. Impossibly fluffy and kissed with brown sugar and cinnamon. Will return
