You Had Me at Tacos

Portobello and Cuban Tacos <3

Maybe it's because my name's Maria, but a thirst for queso runs through my veins. I try not to feed the addiction to much but sometimes you just gotta. 

Enter Zandra's Taqueria - a newish restaurant on Center Street in downtown Manassas, near Okra's. The lighting is a little dark, the red paint on the walls and strings of lights a bit intense, but man, the food is tasty. 

I'm a huge fan of the house mojito, skillet queso, and a la carte taco options. They have a range of tacos, from classic to adventurous, each offered on a flour or corn tortilla (or lettuce wrap). The tacos are stuffed generously, so after destroying mounds of chips and queso, I am usually content with just one (each is about $3-5). 

Zandra's also offers skillet fajitas but I try to avoid those in general because they're smelly (Patrick thinks I'm crazy and says they're delicious). Overall I find the menu really refreshing compared to the Mexican style where everything is pretty much the same texture and flavor (salty). Here's a sample of the a la carte menu:

There's are also vegetarian and fish options!

What do you guys think? Have you guys been to Zandra's yet? Any more recommendations to add?

XOXO,
Maria
