Delicious chorizo tacos.
My jaw is literally broken but their tacos al pastor are so good that I am powering through the pain to eat them anyway.
No joke, that was the BEST burrito I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had some incredible burritos). The pastor was incredible and every element of that thing was fantastic.
Amazing food! I tried this place a few days ago and it was so good I just had to come back an get another burrito. The menu is simple but there’s really so many options and combinations that you can choose for your food. Great price for some really good tasting food. Parking is a little tricky as the lot is tight and most of it is reserved for “State Farm” customers but isn’t so bad.
Very tasty food and extremely friendly staff!
Best new spot in town
Taco Nako is a hidden gem. It’s a small, cozy taco shop that punches way above its weight. The food is absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. The burrito al pastor is a must. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and stuffed to the brim.
What really sets Taco Nako apart is the people. The staff treat you like family—warm, welcoming, and always happy to chat or make a recommendation. It’s the kind of place you want to keep coming back to, not just for the food but for the vibe.
Parking isn’t the best, but honestly? It’s never been a real issue. Worth it every time. If you're in the area and craving tacos, don’t miss this spot.
100% recommendation!! Delicious all around! We had tacos, tortas and quesadillas; all amazing and the salsas were great too!
They are very kind people FAST. I love to be here!!!

The best tacos of my life. Very nice people who speak English and Spanish. The most authentic tacos you can find in Virginia so I go there every payday. Three tacos and a jaritos bottle plus tip was less than $20

I like stopping here. The food is authentic. The shop is fun. I've been to Mexico many times (white American here, but related to Mexicans) and this place felt like Mexico. I was even able to purchase a Christmas present there! Only bummer is they don't have Ground Taco meat (they have steak or chorizo) and the crispy Tortilla wasn't crispy- rather tough. But the flavor made up for it!
