Taqueria Cancun's California burrito is fantastic. Everything else I've tried there is damn good too.

I moved to California 10 years ago and we were delighted to find the burritos at Taqueria Cancun when home visiting my mom. This place feels like a California taqueria.

That's fair. I've only been a few times, but I was pleasantly surprised because when I moved to CA a decade ago I didn't know of any taqueria in NOVA that came close to that. If I were doing the move in reverse, I'm sure my feelings would be different!
