Overall I quite like this place. Only six seats at the counter, and a cool vibe, not really a mom and pop in terms of presentation although I believe it is nonetheless a mom and pop. For Mexican food, and tacos, I would put it at the bottom of the top tier in this area, which these days is pretty good. Oddly, what misses are the Korean fusion dishes \u2013 the flavors don&#8217;t gel and they just taste like weird tacos. Stick to Mexican, and get there early, and you will have a rewarding and repeat-worthy experience.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/la-tingeria\/\" title=\"La Tingeria\">La Tingeria<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/las-gemelas\/\" title=\"Las Gemelas\">Las Gemelas<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/taco-bamba-vienna\/\" title=\"Taco Bamba Vienna\">Taco Bamba Vienna<\/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\/el-sol-restaurante\/\" title=\"El Sol Restaurante\">El Sol Restaurante<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taco Ssam, 6017 Leesburg Pike, Baileys Crossroads, Culmore Shopping Center, Falls Church, VA, 703-347-6969 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [Google+ | Arlington Mag | Ylp] Mostly Mexican, with some Korean mixes, such as fusion tacos with bulgogi &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/taco-ssam\/\">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":[185,44,20,3],"tags":[987,1576,1339,1575,599,1577],"class_list":["post-3696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baileys-crossroads","category-korean","category-mexican","category-virginia","tag-bulgogi","tag-korean-fusion","tag-mexican","tag-taco-ssam","tag-tacos","tag-vb-pxdxummw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3696","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=3696"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3697,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3696\/revisions\/3697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
