Sure, if your food preferences lean more towards flavorless cardboard and paste.

My wife and I moved up here from Texas and we haven't found anything close in quality to what we had down there, although I've got to guess there are some good authentic places to go given the diverse mix of immigrants in the area. If we have to get something, we go to Tequila Grande or Guapos, but it just makes us miss the hole in the wall places we visited down in Dallas all the more.

LOL!

You lost all credibility.

Ok then -- where do you go?

I was also going to recommend Taco Bamba

Recommend specific places, please?

Manassas is where its at. Real Mexican restaurants.

Have you tried Alegria on Church in Vienna? It is good, but the chef is changing the menu to include more typical American food at the end of the month due to lack of demand for real Mexican.

I like the mole at Guajillo in Arlington.

DH is from TX and I am from AZ. We like the tacos from Taqueria poblano, but the rest of the food is kind of meh. I just like that they make their own taco shells.

I hear taco bamba is good, which is in Falls Church

We also like fuego in clarendon, but it is more on the expensive side - http://www.fuegova.com/fuego.html

Good luck! Dh is from Texas and we've been searching for years!

I haven't found any place I really like and I'm not into Tex Mex. I've heard there are places that are good in Manassas but that's a trek for me. Anything in Fairfax, Vienna, Falls Church, Tysons area? I could even do Reston or Herndon.
