Say ‘Hola’ to These NoVA Mexican Restaurants

July 7, 2023 | Northern Virginia Magazine, Alice Levitt—The star attraction at this Alexandria spot is tacos al pastor, carved from the rotating trompo. The meat and pineapple are stuffed into corn tortillas made in-house every day. But not everything is a craft representation of the best of Mexico City. We also like to save room for a Sonoran hot dog, wrapped in bacon and bathed in charro beans, pickled onions and jalapeños, and habanero mayonnaise.

April 15, 2022 | Thrillist, Tim Ebner—Inside the Mark Center shopping plaza, Taqueria Picoso serves Birria Tacos that come in sets of two doused in a well-seasoned broth and topped with chihuahua cheese. You can also find Mexico City-style street food staples like tamales and tortas make for perfectly portable options you can eat on the run. And did we mention the restaurant offers breakfast staples all day long—Huevos Rancheros and Molletes come served with a runny sunny-side-up egg on top.
