So the taco queen strikes again at a place in Northern VA, and oh my goodness, these are some of the best corn tortillas that I have ever consumed. I was visiting my friend at work, and she suggested we grab some tacos down the street since we were super tired from the 3.5 hr. journey from Virginia Beach.
It's a casual fast dining joint where you wait in line, order, and pick up your order (dine-in or carry-out) at the pick-up window where they call your number found on your receipt. I thought the service was good and everyone had a smile & whipped up orders fairly quickly.
They have a fountain drink dispenser if you didn't want alcohol or a bottled beverage. They also supply water cups (heck yes) to fill at the drink dispenser.
Tacos are ordered by the each. I tried a lengua (beef tongue) tradicional taco ($3) and a Patagonia nuestro taco ($4). The traditional taco was great with the yummy meat, onion, cilantro, & lime. The Patagonia was the star of my 2 choices filled with tender carne asada, salsa, shredded cheese, guacamole, & chimichurri sauce. They even have sauces available to put on your tacos at the "bar" (just a ledge connected to the wall) with to-go containers. I drowned my tacos with their "hot" salsa, but it definitely does not have the kick it has the potential to have.
I found the place to be clean with salt, pepper, and a roll of paper towels spread out along the bar and tables for people dining in. Our food came out fairly quickly despite the long order line that kept building. I enjoyed my food greatly, and I understand why this place is a hit.
