Avoid. Not recommended. They claim it’s traditional Mexican food: it is not.
Someone recommended this place-and someone lost credibility with that tip. Food was way too salty. So was their salsa, or ‘salt-sa.” Carnitas were dry. Chips & beans and cheese at $7.50 for what amounted to a snack pack portion of colorful corn chips accompanied by a bowl of refried beans (tasted like they were from a can) with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Burrito had a lot of oily, crunchy rice (yuck) with black beans, old wilted chopped lettuce and was grilled, so it got stale as it cooled off in a few minutes and the toughness made it hard to eat -I just ate the overly-salty inside with a plastic fork. Their tacos were so-so, the tortillas became hard and stiff in minutes. Mole soup, a soup that sounded interesting, was interesting in a bad way.
With all these salty dishes, it was nice to have an agua de jamaica, hibiscus tea, on hand. Only thing was drinks were packed with ice, and disappeared after a few sips…and there are no refills, that’s extra. Not a huge deal but with a salty meal, it was.
There are now place looked kind of legit with cool decor, but it’s not Mexican. The problem in the region is that most are run by Salvadorans. That’s not to disparage those fine people, but Salvadorian food is not Mexican. Not sure who the cooks are or owners, but it seems to match the poor quality of Salvadoran-Mexican spots in the DMV.
There are now three of this restaurant now, and that is three places, I will never go to and recommend you avoid too. I would’ve much preferred Chipotle.
Oh, and a group of gruff-looking male had their phone blaring Spanish-language social media that competes with the restaurant’s background music, and the staff hanging out said nothing.
Whether or not you’re a generous tipper, you are given only options of 20,25, or 35% tip (or no tip) for what is really just take out style brought to your table-no real service other than that. For the price of this place for less than mediocre food, consider this if you take the chance of eating here.
$30 for quesadilla n loaded nachos is wild. Food was average, felt like I over paid. Should be like $20-25 max
Best burritos in the area!!
Nice place to grab a Mexican food and have a chat with friends. The good thing is it’s open 24h.
tacos are small and very greasy . I’m not sure if they change there grease but it’s gross. Birria tacos don’t come with costume you have to pay seperate never heard of that. Overpriced and disgusting
Recommended, yesterday we went to eat huaraches and tacos, all very delicious.

I visited Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita restaurant last weekend and had a pleasant experience. The food was delicious, especially the Cuban cake, The service was attentive and efficient. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. The price was reasonable considering the quality of the food. I recommend trying the Cuban cake overall, it was a satisfying experience and I would visit again.

I've never seen tacos this small, this is inflation at its finest. Taco Bamba is far superior in toppings, sauces, and portions.
I ordered pork cracklings and they are harder than a rock
