The taco spot New Yorkers and Miami locals line up for is now right outside DC.
A Proven Menu That Keeps People Coming Back
Tacombi built a massive following across New York, Miami Brickell, and Miami’s Design District with handmade corn tortillas, slow-marinated meats, and bold Mexican flavors. That same energy has now landed in the DC area with locations in both Arlington and Bethesda.
Tacos like the al pastor, beef birria, and crispy Baja fish are all served on freshly made Vista Hermosa tortillas. Burritas, quesadillas, and the popular Lunchtime Taco Plato round out a lineup designed for any appetite.
Prices are fair. Tacos start around $5.49, burritas run $14 to $16, and the weekday lunch plato is $13.99 for two tacos with rice and beans. Add a frozen margarita or a cold Monopolio lager, and you have a full meal under $30.
The Same Scene From Manhattan to Brickell — Now in Your Backyard
There is a reason Tacombi keeps expanding into the most talked-about neighborhoods in the country. From the Flatiron District and Williamsburg to Brickell and Chicago’s Fulton Market, every location draws a crowd that comes back weekly. Now, Arlington and Bethesda are part of that same circuit.
Every Tuesday, Tacombi’s TacoTacoClub runs a buy-one-get-one taco deal at every location — no membership fees, no hoops. Pair that deal with a $14 Margarita Clásica or a hibiscus agua fresca, and Tuesday quickly becomes the best night of your week!
The restaurants also book private events for groups of any size, so happy hours and team outings work naturally here. On top of that, first-time guests can sign up through inKind for $15 off a $45-plus visit.
A Smart After-Work and Weekend Stop Near DC
The Arlington location sits at 1550 Crystal Drive and is open Sunday through Monday from 11 AM to 9 PM, then Tuesday through Saturday until 10 PM. Over in Maryland, the Bethesda location at 4749 Bethesda Avenue keeps similar hours with Thursday through Saturday service extending to 10 PM.
Both spots are easy to reach, casual enough for a quick lunch, and lively enough for a Friday night out! The churros con xocolate and zero-proof Margarita Pura also deserve a look. What people in Manhattan, Brickell, and the Design District already know, the DC area is just finding out — Tacombi is the real thing.
