Taco Lagos in Chantilly

Maybe, just maybe you think you’ve had great tacos in the DC area. I certainly have my favorites.

But not since a trip to California have I had any like the two tacos I had at Tacos Lagos, an impossible to spot market with an antojitos counter in the back. In a strip mall in Chantilly.


Both tacos were glorious, stuffed, and drippingly juicy. In addition, there is a high table in the center of the market with a chili habanero jardinero you can add on for extra sauciness.

By the way, I got a lamb taco and a cabeza. Cabeza was crispy, surely cooked in lard. Lamb was fatty. Both were equal in unbridled deliciousness. $3 each, and two made a glorious meal.

Yeah we are fortunate that this was once Mexico! Tacos out here can be glorious.
Glad to know that the greater DC/Balt Area is getting some good Options over the Years.

Funny that they list “Suadero” as Tongue( Lengua). “Suadero” is a cut that is from the area in front of the Rear Leg, down near the Belly below the Thick Flank.
