R&R Tacqueria<\/strong>, web site<\/a>, 7894 Washington Blvd. (Rt.1), Elkridge, MD<\/a>, 13 minutes north of the 495\/95 intersection (I-95 Waterloo Road exit 41A), look for the Shell sign. 410-799-0001 (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [Google<\/a> | Don Rockwell<\/a> | Yelp<\/a> | Washingtonian<\/a> | View from the Wing<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Now a second location: 5005 Honeygo Center Drive, #105, Perry Hall, MD 21128<\/a><\/p>\n

This tacqueria is in a Shell gas station, with two small counters and three chairs to sit on.<\/p>\n

It is the best huarache<\/a> I have eaten, ever, including in Mexico. It is the best chile relleno I’ve had in the United States, ever. They serve among the best Mexican soups I have had, ever, and I have been to Mexico almost twenty times.<\/strong> I recommend the tacos al pastor<\/a> as well. <\/p>\n

At first Yana and Natasha were skeptics (“Sometimes you exaggerate about food”) but now they are converts and the takeaways have vanished. They even sell Mexican Coca-Cola and by the way the place is quite clean and nice, albeit cramped.<\/p>\n

The highly intelligent proprietor is a former cargo pilot from Mexico City and speaks excellent English. The restaurant is called R&R after the names of his two sons. <\/p>\n

For over twenty years I have sought such a place in the Washington, DC area and now I have one. For over twenty years people have been asking me how can they scratch this itch and now I have an answer. <\/p>\n
