Fast food style Mexican foods. The servers are very nice and friendly. We’ve had the tacos, bowls, quesadillas, burritos and chip and guacamole. All the seafood dishes I’ve had have been very tasty and fresh. I’d say the food is decent in size for the price. Parking here can be tricky but there is a side parking lot by the grocery store so it’s not too bad. Overall I’d recommend if you want to grab something fast.

My favorite place with my husband. We come for date and dinner quite often. It’s good price, good vibe, wonderful food.

Sometimes there is a difference between locations in a chain of restaurants. As a frequent visitor and lover of their other location in Potomac, I had to check on this one and was not disappointed. Located in the hustle and bustle of Bethesda's premium shopping district, it's a delectable, affordable, and well-appointed fast-casual spot to eat while out shopping or while at lunch. The spot has an outdoor area to enjoy your food as if it were a cafe in Paris. It was raining during my visit so we grabbed a window spot and still took it in. I even enjoyed the ceiling. The food almost seems like an after-thought but it was still tasty and helped make a wonderful day even more perfect. I had the blackened fish taco platter and my partner enjoyed her dish as well.

Super fresh and tasty. The tacos had a good mix of textures and flavors, and each bite really was incredible! Tortilla soup was delicious too, with big chunks of avocado and chicken. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. You order at the counter, take a number, and then they bring your food to your seat. They have a few drink options: three draft beers, draft margarita on the rocks, and margarita slushie (maybe more too, but that's what we saw!). Plus a big cooler of non alcoholic stuff.

Oddly addictive. Their signature fish taco is so good and the sauce that comes on it is incredible. We come here with friends at least twice a week for a reasonably priced delicious meal. Also their frozen margs are a little sweet but exactly what you want on a hot summer day. Also their barbacoa is equally fantastic. A stand out dining option on Bethesda row

My wife and I love Fish Taco! Great food and varied options for a decent price, in an upbeat, fast casual atmosphere with friendly service. We make the trip specially to this location and enjoy the occasional evening out in Bethesda despite living in Virginia

I recently did a catering order from here. The staff responded very quickly to my online request. They were efficient, friendly, and thorough. When we went to pick up the order, they explained everything and offered to help bring the bags out to the car. The food came well packaged, hot, and in nice containers. My only request would be to include a few tongs in addition to the spoons. My office does catering often, and we all agreed this was the best food so far!! We can't wait to get Fish Taco catering again.
