Located in the heart of Falls Church, VA, La Tingeria brings the vibrant flavors of Mexico to your plate, making it a standout destination for taco lovers and Mexican cuisine enthusiasts alike. This charming taqueria is not just another restaurant; it’s a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors, where each dish tells a story, and every bite takes you on a culinary adventure.

The moment you step inside La Tingeria, you’ll be enveloped in a cozy atmosphere that perfectly complements the rich, traditional fare of Mexico. With limited indoor seating and ample outdoor patio space, it’s an inviting spot for a casual meal or to savor the delightful warmth of a sunny day. The enticing aroma of freshly prepared tacos fills the air, instantly drawing you in.

La Tingeria’s menu boasts a mouth-watering selection of authentic dishes that cater to diverse palates. With tacos being the star of the show, you can indulge in their Traditional Mixto or opt for the flavorsome Tinga Chicken, Tinga Beef, or the savory Birria Beef.

Tacos were pretty good and the sauce made it great. Honestly rating it a 5 star because of Taco Tuesday. $2 tacos. How can you beat that…. Yeah im going again today. Yes, it is a Tuesday :) **EDIT: THEY CHANGED THEIR DISCOUNT FROM ALL DAY TO ENDING I THINK AT 11 AM CALL TO VERIFY** I did not like any of the side dishes - rice, beans or the elote (corn)

A taqueria with a pretty decent selection of tacos with pretty food prices. This place advertise halal prepared meals. Seats are pretty limited inside but there's decent seating at the outdoor patio. Parking is pretty limited. Al.pastor and the beef birria are good. Carne asada is okay.

Was told this was the best place for tacos in all of NOVA- and they were amazing. Cute little place with absolutely fabulous tacos. And we ordered at the counter and it was Taco Tuesday— 2.00 tacos- who knew???

The food is so, so, so good. I got a few chicken tostadas as part of the $2 Thursday special and they were stacked and delicious. The tacos also did not disappoint, I cannot wait to try more of those.

Ordered a birria taco 6/10 and mixed quesadilla 8/10. Food was good however it was too greasy for what I usually like. Good service, they gave us a free churro, that was nice of them.

Tacos were excellent, tortillas and salsa were homemade and authentic. I just moved here from CA and needed a taco fix. With a Mas Paz mural you know it has to be good. Looking forward to becoming a regular here!

In love with this restaurant! The portions are better than every other Mexican/taco place and the quality is flavorful and phenomenal. The salsas are the perfect complement. My husband and I tried it out because it is halal and we want to support but I have to say it’s one of the best. Super authentic.
