The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.
Tacos, margaritas, and a pet-friendly patio make this lively spot a must-visit for a fun night out!

Somethin' Sweet
Some of the best gluten free veggies tacos I’ve had in Northerm VA - both the cauliflower and sweet potato tacos were loaded with flavor. My parenter got a variety of meat tacos, and he loved them as well. We’ll definitely be back!
I signed up to review on google maps for this place. I absolutely love Mexican food. I have celiac and Mexican is the safest cuisine for me. With that in mind, I’ve tried dozens of Mexican restaurants in the DMV and I can’t find a restaurant better than here. The margaritas are incredible. Whatever they use might as well be pure joy. The fried tacos and queso are the best items on the menu. The tacos aren’t the cop out tacos you get at many restaurants with the grocery store shells but genuine fried fold over tacos. The queso isn’t the traditional white queso but more of a cheese and chorizo goodness which should be tried. The staff above all is the best part about this place. They remember us every time, and it’s such a pleasure coming back. Not going to lie, we can’t find better.
Expect a laid-back vibe with diverse, hearty offerings and great value, perfect for a satisfying lunch.

A solid, down to earth Mexican cuisine spot with tasty, filling, varied food and solid, kind service. Atmosphere and prices are great as well, especially at lunch. Plenty of gluten free options as well, the corn tortillas are great. I’d definitely come again.
From sipping delectable mezcal margaritas to indulging in a unique, warm service amidst a lively bar vibe, there's always a memorable time to be had.

Food was good. I enjoyed both the taste and delivery of the "gasolina" margarita. Staff was very friendly. The one thing that could have been improved was that there seemed to be some kind of communication breakdown - we have a few food allergies (gluten/dairy) between some of the members of our party and asked for a few things on the side. Only one of them actually ended up on the side and one of the orders strangely came out with a wheat tortilla instead of the corn it was supposed to. They replaced the problem items for us, but there were lots of issues, so folks with allergies should be very careful.
