I stopped in very late on a Saturday morning to get a quick lunch on my way back from an errand in Chantilly. The location may... leave something to be desired being tucked away in an industrial park near the intersection of VA-50 and VA-28. However the foodmakes a visit worthwhile to be sure. The interior looks bright and clean for roughly 25 to dine in and another five to dine outat a couple of makeshift tables outside. Service proved relatively prompt and straightforward and neither cheery nor brusk. Ioverheard my order being discussed and checked in Spanish with the line cooks which made me feel valued and respected as acustomer. I ordered some chips and salsa to start followed by three tacos (chicken tinga, barbacoa, and fish proteins) andblack beans with a churro being my finale. The salsa had a bright, acidic, and tart flavor with a good amount of cilantro. Chipswere a good portion with non-oily crispiness and not over salted as other version I have had elsewhere. The black beans werecooked well and retained their shape without becoming mushy. The tacos arrived as requested without cheese and cream so I couldtaste the protein, pico de gallo, and guacamole. The pico was among the freshest and brightest I have tasted in quite some time.That part of the taco being so fresh left me hunting a little for the protein flavors even though the ratio between protein togarnish in each taco seemed right. Once I got to the meat and fish, all three had a good cook and taste to them even if theywere not the most assertive flavors I tasted. The corn tortillas held their shape well and had good flavor and texture to them.All in all three very good tacos to be sure. A surprising highlight for me was the churro ? fried to order after I had finishedmy tacos which was a most welcome touch and served with a smile by one of the cooks. This churro was hit, crispy on the outside,beyond soft on the inside, and had a nearly-melt-in-the-mouth texture as I ate. The sugar adher Read more

Good tacos and toppings. They can be a bit dry. They sell hot sauces and things. The sauces are available to put on the tacos,... they?re not always on the tables so just ask if you want them. Read more

Tried the Birria and the Elote, they were delicious. Taco size could be bigger, but it was just enough for lunch size. Handful... indoor seating and a couple tables outside. Friendly staff. Read more

Taco Zocalo is by far one of the best tacos spots I?ve had in the Northern VA area! I got chicken corn tortilla tacos for... takeout and the tortilla was not overly greased, did not break, and on top of that I appreciated the fact that it had doubletortillas. The flavors were so light yet packed with so much taste. The to go packaging is great! The staff was so friendlyand polite. Overall the ambiance was great. I will definitely come back and will recommend friends/family. Read more

The birria tacos here are fantastic. At the time of writing this, they only have them on Sundays and Tuesdays. Their normal... tacos and burritos are also pretty good, but I think their birria tacos are outstanding. Read more

So far so good. I had the beef, beef barbacoa and beef brisket tacos and they were delicious. The restaurant is clean and the... service was excellent. The portions were bigger than most places and priced just right. I would recommend this place and I'mglad I accidently found it near Costco. Read more

Have been waiting for this to open! Dropped in for lunch. We did take out getting 3 tacos to try out 3 different meats and a... chicken tinga burrito. The food was prepped fresh and we didn't wait long for our food. I really liked the taco take out tray -kept all my tacos standing and filled. The house made guac was good and super fresh tasting. There is not a ton of seating butthere are tables if you choose to eat in. Read more
