Guapo’s: A Herndon Spot for Big Flavors

July 18, 2013 by

Looking for tasty Tex-Mex food in Herndon? Check out Guapo’s Restaurant. The rotisserie chicken is the signature dish and the chicken is perfectly seasoned and juicy. The combo includes a choice of rotisserie (most customers are satisfied with a quarter chicken), a salad, Guapo’s sauce, and your choice of fried potatoes, corn tortillas, or for an additional charge, fried yucca. Everyone who dines at Guapo’s loves the fried yucca with its crispy exterior and airy interior that pairs well with Guapo’s sauces, especially the green sauce if you enjoy a spicy kick. Be sure to cherish every bite of fried yucca though, because an order only comes with five. Guapo’s makes you feel welcome as soon as you step in the door with its inviting, lively atmosphere. It can be busy during lunch and dinnertime, so the wait might have you thinking about ordering a larger portion of rotisserie chicken.

Tuscarora Mill: What’s Old is New Again

April 26, 2013 by

Tuscarora Mill has been cooking up fine fare in Leesburg since 1985. Situated in a historic flour and grain mill, the restaurant’s rustic decor lends charm to the formal dining room and comfortable bar area. An early adopter of the “buy local” movement, the restaurant, known to patrons as “Tuskie’s,” sources ingredients from local farms and bases its menu around what’s fresh and in season on the farm. Although the menu changes frequently, regulars tout signature dishes like shrimp and grits and lamb shank. Adventurous eaters shouldn’t miss the wild game plate, which changes daily. In addition to food, Tuskie’s offers a wide selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. Bread-lovers will appreciate the efforts of the on-site bakery, which produces dinner rolls and sandwich breads fresh every day. For an upscale date night, celebratory brunch, or business lunch, Tuscarora Mill offers a great taste of the Northern Virginia harvest and southern hospitality.
