And it does have decent quality ingredients and a menu which is pretty genuinely in the Mexican direction, including goat tacos and the like.  (Get the appetizers and snacks, by the way, not the main dishes.)  But these days it doesn\u2019t quite hit the spot for me.  It is fairly expensive.  The tacos I found OK but uninspired.  It is just a wee bit yuppified.  It is still better than most Mexican places around.  And if you mastered the entire menu, I think you could do pretty well here.  Overall this place is a sign of progress, and some of you will like it, but I don\u2019t call myself an advocate.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/pho-ga-vang\/\" title=\"Pho Ga Vang\">Pho Ga Vang<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/taqueria-cancun\/\" title=\"Taqueria Cancun\">Taqueria Cancun<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/king-of-koshary\/\" title=\"King of Koshary\">King of Koshary<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/tortas-y-tacos-la-chiquita\/\" title=\"Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita\">Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/ambar\/\" title=\"Ambar\">Ambar<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, web site, 2800 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA, 571-970-2180 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [WaPo | Washingtonian | City Paper | NoVA Mag | Don Rockwell | Yelp] A few years ago I would &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/fuego-cocina-y-tequileria\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,20,3],"tags":[1337,671,670],"class_list":["post-2198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arlington","category-mexican","category-virginia","tag-arlington","tag-fuego-cocina-y-tequileria","tag-goat-tacos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2198"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2205,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198\/revisions\/2205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
