One thing my husband and I used to do every Friday after a hard work week when we lived in Mexico City was order a mess of tacos and just veg in front of the TV. Since we moved back to the U.S. a few years ago, we have missed those taco Fridays as we haven’t been able to find anything like we would have had down there. If you’ve ever wondered what authentic Mexican tacos—not Tex Mex, not weird fusion, not overpriced silly frou-frou nonsense—taste like, this is your place. I took one bite of a taco (literally don’t remember which one, they were all great) and said “oh my GOD.” Yes, it caused me to blaspheme. It tasted like home.

This is one of the worst Mexican restaurants in the DMV, the food looks good and authentic, but it's a disappointment. Ordered nachos and they gave me chips with broken tostadas. The biggest disappointment was the quesabirrias, they look like the small tacos from 7eleven.

I can’t believe that this place is open 24 hours, yes, 24 hours ! It’s a great casual place, for friends or families, but it’s a small place though. The food was amazing. I really like they’re chicken Empanadas and Fish tacos ! That was one of the BEST FISH TACOs I’ve had in the Arlington area. I’m definitely coming back here to try more other items in the menu.Parking: There are parking on the side of the restaurant.
Oh. My. Goodness.In a matter of only two visits this place has become my FAVORITE Mexican spot of all time.As a newly minted resident of Arlington, I found myself exploring the area to find the best spots for food and let me tell you this place WILL NOT disappoint.From the cabeza, pastor, and birria tacos con los acompañantes to the horchata, everything is ABSOLUTAMENTE EXCELENTE.To top it all off, management is led by the coolest people around! One handed pushup contests for the win! ??See you guys soon and thank you for being a pillar in this community I now call ? !!

The cuerito skin is sublime. Birria is sublime. Lengua is sublime. Cactus leaves, good. Jalapenos with cheese, good. Churros not good. Employees are kind and hard working.

I had the Torta Milanese. The chicken was bone dry and so salty. I also ordered the grilled onions, $3.50. Seemed like a good idea. I got 3 green onions that were limp and nasty. I had an order for our family of 4, the overall consensus was...not again.
Maybe staff was having a bad day, idk. Food is inspired by Mexican cuisine but not Mexican at all. The milanesa torta tasted more like Indian curry, they forgot to bring us our drinks, etc. 0/10

I ordered via Uber eats. What I got was not what I ordered at all. I ordered a veggie quesadilla. It was supposed to have tomatoes, grilled onions, tomatoes, cheese avocado, omlette, and pickled peppers. I requested crema to be added. It was not. What I received was soggy, had no tomatoes or onions, or cheese. Just peppered pickles, cactus and eggs. It was so soft I couldn’t even pick it up in one piece. It just kept falling apart. It was inedible unfortunately.

Such delicious tacos and not expensive either. They are located right next to Arlington Cinema Drafthouse. They are also open 24/7. Their service is really good and our tacos came out within a reasonable amount of time while also making take out orders. It's not a big restaurant but there are tables inside for dine-in.
