Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita

You can tell a lot from decor, cleanliness, & management is reflected on the workers that run the place. We had a new employee taking our order that was calm & obviously wanted to work there, the trainer patience & guidance along with interacting with us to assure our order was correct in english & spanish (I'm tejano). We got 2 carne asada breakfast plate and 2 tacos de lengua y de tripas. Enjoyed it all after traveling from center DC & doing morning errands. Food is personal & this folks made the experience better. They have other locations i found out. Didn't take pictures of the food because I ate it 🤠but did take pictures of thier metaphysic decor

This is my first time here - I’m still here, just wrapping up headed to a show next door. But this place is so good I didn’t want to forget to do this. The food is delicious and fresh with plenty of options and filling portions. The service is like that of a sit down place even though you order at the counter. The vibe is special. I’m old so the music was a little loud for my friend and I might wipe the tables down a bit more but the restrooms are cleaned and stocked. Very friendly young people running the place from the looks of it. I wish them all the best, great place!

One of my TOP taco spots...open 24/7 and delicious always. Perfect place to go to after a comedy show next door, always SO GOOD. Asada,lengua & elote 10/10. Big fan for years now and highly recommend! - SpicyAivy

Armando’s customer service is a 10/10. Provided all deals up front and talked through all menu items as it was my first time. The food was so good I will be back again for another visit!

The tacos were incredible! Super authentic and nice server! Had the asada tacos and the beef tongue taco was super tender! Salsa was incredible as well. Highly recommend!

I've only spent a couple of weeks in Mexico but during that time I very deliberately sought out places that the tourists DIDN'T go. That lead to a lot of meals in places that served food just like this place. Carne asasda torta and agua tamarindo is just about the perfect lunch in my book. I really enjoyed the fact that all of the vegetables (especially the avocado) they used were at the peak of ripeness. The meat had a nice sear and was very flavorful. I also really enjoyed the taleras bread and appreciated how fresh it was as well. The only downside...I really wanted chicken tinga but they don't make it.

Awesome place, great staff, & even better food with a diverse menu. You’ll be seeing us again! 👌🏽

We had a great experience at Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita. The food was fresh, flavorful, and very authentic. The tacos were delicious, the tortas were filling and well made, and everything came out hot and tasty. You can really tell the ingredients are good quality. The portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Even with a busy crowd, service was smooth and efficient. It’s a perfect spot for casual dining with family or friends. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to when we’re craving authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend!

I go to Tortas & Tacos at least twice a month. First, the location is perfect, just a few minutes of a walk from the Virginia Square metro stop. The restaurant is pretty spacious and decorated well AND open until 2am, which is unbeatable for the area. On top of that the food is very well-priced (also unbeatable for the area) and super authentic and rich in flavor. I've tried almost every taco on the menu and my favorite is definitely the pastor. Each taco is rich in flavor and has a robust food profile, which I love. The food comes out pretty quickly too; service is great, and the people who were there are awesome!

Greasy, wet, and flavorless tacos. Honestly nasty and such a disappointment. They were expensive and took way too long. Never ever again.

I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner and I'm honestly mad about it! Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita is a 24-hour gem with an extensive, authentic menu with even more options once you step inside than what's listed online. We placed a pickup order over the phone and had a hard time deciding because everything sounded amazing. We ended up getting the quesadilla, which was way more loaded than your typical one; packed with veggies, avocado, and plenty of melted cheese. We also got the beef empanadas, and let me tell you... I'm not even sure what was in them exactly, but every bite was pure deliciousness. We couldn't skip the birria tacos, either; authentic and flavorful, served with cilantro, lime, and onions on the side. And for dessert, we had the churros, which were freshly made and came with a rich dulce de leche dipping sauce. Absolute perfection. The staff was friendly, the interior was vibrant and colorful, and when we went to pick up the food, the music was pumping and the vibe was just right. This is officially my new late-night go-to. I seriously plan on trying everything on the menu!

Place is clean, Good customer service. I had the burrito. I'm from Los Angeles and these remind me of home !

La Chiquita (formerly called Tortas y Tacos) continues to crank out delicious food that's worthy of 5 stars! This spot is consistently great, with well seasoned and authentic Mexican food. I recently tried some of their desserts, the churros and a slice of Tres Leches cake, I ended up coming back again the next day for both items! The prices are awesome and overall just happy to have this neighborhood gem near where I live!

I was at work and wanted to order something for dinner in the area that was still open around 9:30 PM. Found tortas y tacos on uber eats so I went for it! I ordered 3 tacos but somehow ended up with 4 (not complaining!) really delicious and plenty of cilantro, lime and onions! It is a bit pricey in my opinion for a taco but a decent splurge once in awhile when you're really hungry doesn't bother me. My colleague also got the quesadilla and really enjoyed it. Would like to visit in person one day just to actually take a peak at the restaurant but I'm assuming it's pretty casual.

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing these tacos are. Truly I should begin by highlighting Armando - who is a GEM of a person usually manning the cash register and orders. PRO TIP ask for the Armando MIX when it comes to aguafrescas he makes a delicious blend! We have ordered SO many things off the menu already - have yet to be disappointed. My fave taco is a mix of TRIPA AND ASADA... they make an incredible crispy version if you want something new!

I've ordered delivery from Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita several times. It's delicious fresh Mexican food that feels on the authentic side, hearty and straightforward. The tacos include generous amounts of protein--my favorite is the al pastor as the pork is well seasoned and the acidity from the pineapple balances the salty fatty pork. My favorite item overall is the chilaquiles because of the creamy sauces and softened tortilla chips! I have them add birria for extra, and they always add a substantial amount. Great flavors. The salsa verde and salsa roja are great with everything!

his place is amazing! They catered my change of command ceremony on Fort Myer. They were initially a bit slow to respond, but everything was smooth once we got the ball rolling! I asked for 40 breakfast burritos (which they don't even have on the menu) individually packaged so people could grab and go and it was perfect! I got so many compliments on the food and 5 or so people asked where I got the food from because it was so delicious! Ricardo was amazing and so helpful! He worked with me to pick out ingredients for the burritos and decide what salsas we wanted on the sides. We will definitely be back! Support local!

We went there for the first time coming from Jersey to VA. It's open 24/7 so that was perfect for us since we got here late. Authentic little spot that gets packed quick but it's worth it. The juices are homemade as well.

I've been wanting to try this place since a friend recommended it a while back but we never got the opportunity to try it even though they're open 24 hours. Anyway, I was wanting tacos and we were in the area, so the answer was easy. First off, parking at this location can be a challenge. I found a lot behind the building. I'm not sure if it's paid parking though. There is a Park Mobile kiosk near the lot that is set for street parking but it's wasn't clear to me if it included the lot as well. I paid for an hour and a half (45 cents) just to cover my bases. They have Birria Tacos, which if you know me, you know that those are my second favorite taco. So, of course I ordered those. They have a slight variation to theirs that I have never had before. Theirs is made with a crispy shell as opposed to the usual soft tortilla. They are a lot smaller than I was expecting, but perfectly sized for me. If you have a big appetite you might want to order a couple extra. I loved the crispy texture to these and the filling did not disappoint. Very good. We also ordered a pollo burrito that was outstanding as well. I of course had to get the Guava Jarrito and try their horchata. The restaurant was busy and clean.

Well...my husband and I found our new addiction - uh oh!!! :D We are mostly obsessed with their tacos - flavorful, authentic - just delicious. I also LOVE getting a side of beans and rice with some chips, their black beans with cheese is wonderful! And my husband loves their horchata (which he is picky with). Part of why this place fuels our addiction is that it's open 24 hours. I don't want to say how many times we have picked up/had delivery at 1:00 AM and have been extremely pleased with ourselves, lol. But of course, we wouldn't just do that for anywhere - the quality also makes it worth it. As for the ambiance inside, it is cute and again, feels authentic. Seating can be limited depending on when you go, as can parking! Try this place out, you will not regret it!

If I could give this place 0 stars I absolutely would. For starters music is incredibly loud when you first walk in, place is relatively clean and service is pretty good the ladies are very nice. Food is so bad tho I had never seen mustard in a quesadilla ( we got the birria quesadilla and chicken quesadilla) and the avocado in the quesadilla was very old to the point where the avocado was turning black, the chorizo taco was okay but in the al pastor taco there was the longest black hair I had ever seen, we also got a taco de lengua but did not even end up trying it due to us being so disgusted, We ended up inspecting the food and actually found two more pieces of hair in both of the quesadillas. The guava juice is okay but the lemonade is very watered down. All things considered i would never go here again unless it was to get my money back and I definitely would not recommend this spot to anybody else.

I've ordered delivery from here so many times, just love the food. Most of the time I order lengua tacos and a few other ones, but lengua is my favorite. Tried their new burrito bowls with lengua: 1. it's a lot of food for about $15, it's easily 2 meals for me 2. lengua is always good 3. guacamole comes on the side in a little cup 4. the beans and rice and the salsa mixed too together is too salty 5. supposed to get lettuce but they forgot to add lettuce 6. the food is good but the presentation is not great. It would look better (and I would prefer) they kept the meat, rice, beans, salsa etc separate instead of mixed together Still love this restaurant

I was craving Mexican food and saw this place was very popular so decided to give it a try. My husband and I ordered: 2 tripa tacos, 1 asada quesadilla, and 1 birria taco. The tacos were pretty good, but the quesadillas were not what I was hoping for or expecting. I was surprised to see that there was mustard in both of the quesadillas, which I have never seen before in a quesadilla. The mustard overpowered the meat and the rest of the ingredients. I was quite disappointed especially because I think the prices are somewhat elevated for the portions they serve. I am not sure why this place is very popular, perhaps we ordered the wrong things and we should just stick to tacos. The tacos were also very small for the price. Overall was a poor experience. I think there are a lot of other great Mexican restaurants that are worth the visit.

these were amazing! i still dream about these carne asada tacos and their quesadillas.

A friend and I went here later in the night and I really loved the burrito! There was a lot of mean and it was very tender, not too beany like some places make theirs. I got the mixed burrito, so it was a bit of everything! I ended up only being able to eat half, the other half saving for later! Id definitely give it a go! I have to check out their taco Tuesday deal next time!

I don't think any place does it better than this place. From the service, to the flavor. There is no match. The cashiers are always nice and quick. They move people in and out fast. The food comes out fast, even take out. They keep the place nice and tidy. The workers do a great job going around picking stuff up, replenishing items and grabbing anything you need. The food is inexpensive and DELICIOUS. I have had the carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, birria tacos...i have tried a torta, and their tres leches and all of it was flavorful. The meat is always tender and cooked perfectly. The tacos always come with a good portion of meat. You wont get skimped. Their sauces are great with the tacos. I love the sauteed onions they give you on top of the tacos. I always ask for shredded cheese on mine and they are perfect! I get flour tortillas too since i am not crazy about corn. I will never stop coming here.

This place is authentic with phenomenal, delicious food and the best guacamole I have had. I am Mexican and this was on my list to try after hearing rave reviews from my Colombian friend. She ordered 3 tacos one shrimp and 2 carne mixta and was raving about it. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla - it came out hot with melted cheese, a good portion of shrimp and avocado. I didn't add any sauces (although there are plenty) bc it was perfectly seasoned. For dessert churros and mango slices. Amazing taste, good value and excellent customer service. Thank you!!! Plenty of seating, parking in the back and the decorations reminded me of my childhood days with nana who cooked Mexican food with much love. This is the place to go for Mexican food!! Enjoy!

Welcoming staff. The yuca was extra fresh, fried to perfection. The pupusas were also tasty. curtido was fresh too. Next time I want to try their sopa de res and horchata.

My favorite tacos al pastor in northern Virginia. If I'm in DC, it's gotta be El Sol...but on this side of the bridge, La Chiquita takes care of me. Service is friendly, fast, and bilingual. Tables are turned over quickly. Happy music accompanies the immediate happiness that comes to you after eating tacos al pastor made right.

I feel like it's so hard to find good Mexican food in the DMV area and then I came across this gem. There was no shortage of vegetarian options which made it hard to choose what to get. In the end we got the huarache, sope, and tacos - all vegetarian. They were DELICIOUS!!! The tacos were my favorite, incredibly flavorful and when I finished eating I wanted more! The real star of the show was the sauces! The red sauce was so spicy but I still wanted a whole bottle of it. The restaurant wasn't too big but had enough seating space. Overall a great meal!!

Delicious tacos! The meat was marinated so well, and the toppings added to the side help prevent it from getting soggy. Shrimp quesadilla was good and a large portion. Easy to walk in and pickup online orders. Will definitely be back!

Food was great but roaches everywhere. Especially by the bathroom which is right by the kitchen.

Came in for lunch, Good tacos and fast service. Our cashier Alejandra answer our questions and we opted in for the tacos. Been coming here since it was food truck at food star with david and tacos are still good happy they got 3 locations. Music is a little loud but not bad.

I was more than satisfied with my experience at Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff made sure everything was taken care of. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a good meal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to others deadass

Friendly staff, DELICIOUS food, and hours that can't be beat--this location is open 24/7! I stopped by for breakfast after physical therapy, and was delighted by the Desayuno Typical. The avocado was so fresh, the eggs, cheese, and beans provided excellent vegetarian protein, and the plátanos were perfect. I'll be back soon to try lunch or dinner.

I always went here for taco Tuesday for a bout 2 months straight and it was always perfect. Until one Tuesday I went and found a roach in my tacos and I never went again. Im really disappointed because it was my favorite place.

my favorite dmv taco spot! I love the crispy birria tacos and the shrimp tacos. I wouldn't get anything other than tacos here though

We really like food and atmosphere feels aesthetic while being very welcoming esp the waiter is very friendly his name is Norma Armas. Definitely recommend coming here.

We ordered steak and shrimp tacos, chicken quesadillas. It was delicious we enjoyed everything. The service was phenomenal. I will definitely comeback! 100% recommend

For a late night taco on a cold night, I'm glad this place was open. Service was decent and the place was pretty busy! I enjoyed my carnitas taco. The green sauce i think is worth the trip. Add cotija cheese to the tacos. Skip the shrimp.

Very good food, great customer service.My god daughter and I enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend this place

24/7 -how does it get any better than this Tacos are spectacular Always quick with sit in or delivery orders Inside of the restaurant can get busy and is always playing loud music, I love it because it reminds me of being back home in NYC!

This has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat. The flavor of the tacos are sooo good and it is actually affordable. - affordable - quick - open 24/7 - amazing service and staff There isn't a ton of seating inside, so if you come at a busy hour you may have to grab to go.

Presentation has been for several months. My last time ordering. Unless I go pick this shit up.

Flavor is 5/5 and the salsa is addictive. But portion size is so small for the price it makes me want to cry. You could get double the food for same price at other places sadly. I got 5 tacos: carne asada, crispy cheese/Birria, lengua, pastor, and pollo. I also got the beans and chips on the side. The meats such as carne asada and pastor was so chopped it was like ground meat ...I was hoping for a chopped/chunky texture. But the crispy cheese birria taco was my favorite and hit the craving exactly! The soup was also so salty but in a good way. The beans were also so full of flavor and extremely smooth. If I could order again, I'd order lengua, pollo and crispy cheese/Birria! Another plus is it's open 24/7 so perfect for late night cravings . The inside seating is super casual and low-key.

This is a Hall of Famer for me and I have been many times. This is my favorite burrito joint and my go-to late night spot as it's open 24 hours. I can't get enough. I have the burrito pescado (fish) each time with flan as my dessert and it's always perfect and surprisingly filling. Workers and diners are always friendly and we've been invited to join people's tables when it was busy. On the tables there are two sauces. The red one is slightly spicy, but a must on everything. Excuse me, I need to end this review and go grab a burrito.

This is a great local spot, especially if you're looking for late-night eats. I usually go for the chicken taquitos at ungodly hours, and they're always solid. The food is good--not amazing--which is why I'd give it four stars, but the service is quick, and they're open late.

My friend tagged me a video of a good influencer featuring this place so I had to check it out plus it is 24/7 and good 24/7 food places in the USA especially in Arlington are few and rare. Let's see what the fuss is about... I don't have pictures of the food because it is I took the food to go, it is night time, I am hungry, my living room is not lit and I am also hungry. So I just straight went to eating. I got the Empanadas and they were crispy, flavorful, not overly greasy and had a chipotle mayo type of sauce with them. I got 4 tacos. Pollo, Lengua, Tripa and Asada. I am just going to say only one line about them Tacos and the way they were packed with the sauce that were accompanying them. Combined them all and just read what I am about to write below... (Try to imagine reading this in a deep masculine voice) "These are probably the best tacos I have had in the entire US so far." That's it... that's all 5/5 bruh fr fr no cap

I ordered steak tacos and steak pastor. Both were excellent and a lot of food for the price. Service was also fast and they call your number and bring the food to your table which is nice since it gets pretty packed in the store. There isn't really a lot of seating since the place is small, so if you have a large party you might want to consider what time you come. I'm always looking for late night places to go and since this place is 24 hours it definitely fits the bill.

Okay, their pozole (soup) is OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS. I'm addicted! The pozole alone gets my rating changed from a 3 to a 5! I've also been back sense and had the al pastor tacos (rather than quesadilla) and it's pretty good, as is the cuerito taco, albeit a bit greasy. Get the pozole. Thank me later.

Decided to stop by while in Arlington area. There is a wide array of options to choose from and customer service was great as well. Overall, I thought the food was good, but portions are small for the price paid. Would come back again though! Birria tacos: 5/5 - recommend getting the consome on the side! Asada tacos: 3/5 - tasted kind of weird? Pastor tacos: 5/5 - these were my favorite! large chunks of pineapple, very flavorful. Chile Relleno: 3/5 - these were okay, not the best ones that I've had. The pepper felt raw and crunchy still.

Great service, I had the best tacos ever and my boyfriend loved his tortas. I would definitely recommend this and will come back soon.

Overall a negative experience. We came here on sunday for lunch after craving birria tacos. Parking was somewhat of a pain. When we finally got there, the restaurant had extremely loud music playing at levels normally heard at a night club or bar. We got the pescado taco, crispy cheesy birria tacos and the asada quesadilla. Although the fish taco was served on a broken plate (you can see in the pic where the dish had yellowed where it broke off, gross!), the taco was pretty tasty and was actually the best part of the meal. Not sure why they keep broken plates to serve to customers though. We also asked for cups of water and they gave us tap water which was fine. However, there was dust floating on top of the water when we received them. The "crispy" cheesy birria tacos were extremely soggy on one side. It was like a wet taco and all of them were like that. Looking at the photo afterwards, there was water on the plate before they put tacos down. Really disappointing as this was the only reason we came. The steak quesadilla was decent and kind of tasted like a philly cheesesteak. For $27, this experience was not worth. Will continue the search for birria tacos elsewhere.

The Panaderia is great there. The tres leches cake is out of this world. It's expensive though... but it's worth it. They have the best Reno bolillos. I get milanesa patties to cook at home. The marinated carne asada is also outstanding, súper soft and tasty. Expensive too but oh well. A couple of carniceros are kind of rude but I found one who is super friendly so I just go to him. He's is the young one and very helpful, fast too. Tortas are awesome there. Cubanas, milanesas or just ham, they prepare them fresh with veggies and fresh cheese. My mother loves their chicharrones. Staff is friendly and efficient. Parking gets crazy but cars keep moving in and out. Try tge huge tostadas bag, they are tasty and crispy. They also carry queso de puerco. It's been years since I had a queso de puerco sándwich. I'll keep coming to the munchies. ¡Gracias!

Extraordinarily delicious! I have been transported back to LA. Carne asada tacos are perfection. Will be back as often as I can . Thank you so much.

AMAZING food, very helpful and friendly staff, and a really great ambiance. I have been here soo many times and every time is better than the last!

Yep, this is it. Finally found it. These are the best tacos in Virginia. As much as I have enjoyed the journey and ill continue looking, I can rest now cause this is it. This was my first time having birria tacos so I low key felt biased, but after trying birria tacos at other places, this is still my no 1. And they're open 24-7?! Let me set the scene for you. Imagine a taco, with shredded beef and pico de gallo in it. Take that, roll that bad boy in some cheese then fry it till It's crispy. TILL ITS CRISPY. Like the cheese on pizza, or lasagna, or mac n cheese when you get the crispy corner...BUT A TACO. and then you dip it into the birria soup!!!!! Dont want to take my word for it? Go and look at all of the other 5 star reviews. Then go treat yourself.
