Tacombi Brings Michelin-Starred Mexico City Tacos to the D.C. Area | Eater DC
"The Arlington location (1550 Crystal Drive, Arlington, Virginia) begins serving the four famed tacos the evening of Wednesday, December 11, with a limited selection available at this spot and the Bethesda outpost from December 12–26. The collaboration spotlights extreme care in ingredient selection and butchery: cuts were dialed in through multi-day work in New York with Pat LaFrieda and are made each night, rested, shipped, and then grilled a la plancha for service. Three of the four tacos feature specific beef cuts — the Gaonera (based on filet mignon), the Costilla (from the rib), and the Bisteck (using a round tip cut) — while the Chuleta is a pork-chop-topped taco; cilantro and onion are omitted to let the meat shine. Tacos arrive on freshly made on-site tortillas and with two salsas — a tomatillo-garlic-jalapeño salsa cruda verde and a salsa morita of chile morita, tomato, and garlic — which will also be sold by the jar for takeaway." - Lulu Chang
