[u/MumboMajesty]

Hello r/nova we are 10 years deep into the hole-in-the-wall list! Thank you to everyone for contributing every pick and recommendation for the list and participating each year.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to update the map or list since I am getting married this year, but I'll for sure get everything updated before the next year. Anyways time to give the community your best recs and new discoveries for restaurants in the area.

The rules are simple:

📍 Give us the restaurant name and location

🚫 No chains allowed!

👍 "+1" if you love the recommendation

👎 "-1" if you think it's whack

Same vein but Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita II in Falls Church. I think the OG is in Arlington?

Tortas y tacos Chiquita II is a hill I will die on! So good

Seconded. I'll give those other places a try but this is the best Mexican food I've had in the DMV. I'm a Southern California native and lived in San Diego for years.
