JESUS CHRIST the food is Amazing! I’m sitting in the restaurant writing this because it’s that good. Food came out quick! Prices are amazing! I got a full meal for me and a friends for $21!!!? Food came fresh and was hot! Good portions! They also have a cute store attached if you wanna buy some spices, they also have a bathroom. The food is so good, I ordered a ‘too good to go bag’ ate it, and came back and ordered some more 😭😭😭 The staff: Very friendly and kind! One lady took the time to explain the agua frescas and I appreciate that! Also the agua frescas are so big and tasty!! I posted a picture with a 2fl oz hand sanitizer for comparison!
Amazing food. Unique toppings for tacos you don’t see often like buche and suadero. Super authentic and friendly staff
Great flavor for an affordable price. The food is always fresh and delicious. It definitely has a hole-in-the-wall feel to it. (But don't all the best restaurants). The focus is on the food and flavor.
I stopped by here for a take out and ordered Tacos. I had Asada/steak, Barbacoa and I’m so glad that they have Tinga/shredded chicken. The wait time wasn’t that long, when I tried the tacos, it was tasty ! What a hidden gem for this place ! I recommend the Barbacoa and Tinga tacos, they both are filling and flavorful. If you want to try this place, with a good experience & short wait time for your food, swing by during a weekday & there is also free parking.
I was driving past this place on N Glebe Rd in Arlington and had the thought of; "I bet that place has 🔥 tacos!". Any little place that us tucked away in a little strip mall always slaps so hard in the best way. This place is called Jarochita #2. I loved it and it could be my new go-to spot for authentic, fresh, made-to-order tacos. The staff was friendly. It was clean. It was lively. And as a pretty standard gringo, I was welcomed with open arms. Bonus: They have a sauce bar that is included with your meal. I'm a sucker for condiments and extra cilantro and jalapeños, so this was a huge selling point for me that will bring me back.
If you are looking for real Mexican food in the DMV, look no further than Jarochita #2. The tacos were tasty. Not sure why they had tomatoes but that’s okay. The ceviche tostada was delightful and tasted extremely fresh. The doors were on the thin side which isn’t what I’m used to but it was really nice and crispy. All meat was well seasoned. The only lackluster thing was their salsa. It had heat but no flavor. The masa in the tamale was welll seasoned but slightly over cooked, the tamale was still better than most I’ve had in the area. Place was a little sketchy looking but sometimes those places are best! Despite the minor criticisms this is definitely a place we will be returning too excited for more food.
Tacos were really good. They were authentic for sure. We had pork el pastor, steak, chorizo, and chicken. They were also served with spicy onions on the side. Chips were freshly fried. I would definitely recommend this place.
La Jarochita offers a good menu of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, sandwiches, and Mexican main dishes plus various Mexican soft drinks and beers. Very simple place with a do-it-yourself toppings bar. Attached to grocery story with products from Latin America. It also has a breakfast menu.
