Review of Taqueria Al Lado

Our family loved this restaurant!

We went to Taqueria el Lado three times in the week we were visiting DC. We stayed in a VRBO a few blocks away, chosen for its proximity to this restaurant as well as Rise Bakery, and we were so glad. The taqueria offered a variety of great options that suited all four of us (parents and two boys ages 10 and 12). It was also a great spot to have dinner with friends. The restaurant has a nice vibe — peppy, nicely decorated, not too formal, friendly. It’s great to go to a GF restaurant you can really enjoy, in addition to being fed safely.

A review of the other location of Taqueria el Lado suggested that the battered fish has beer in the batter. We checked about this with a manager and she said that it does not (at least not at this location). Our celiac son is not symptomatic, so we trust the safety based on other reviews and representations from the manager.
