Acitrón Arlington

The delightful Acitrón Cocina Mexicana in Arlington is currently serving lunch on Thurs-Sunday starting at noon. I believe they still do brunch/lunch on the weekend. Takeout and dining in. They have a delightful patio on the side, that I never knew about.

Since the metered parking is suspended, I can now have lunch in Arlington again.

The dining room is open with the proper distancing of the tables.

The delightful patio.

What used to be ho-hum chips and salsa have no turned in to excellent thin chips with a really well seasoned and tasty salsa. I kept on eating the chips and salsa. Of course you get linen napkins.

Today I picked the CHILE VERDE A LA BAABS (14.95) from the lunch menu. "Chunks of Tender pork loin slow cooked in a green chile sauce made of fresh tomatillo, jalapeño and garlic". The pork was tender and tasty, the rice was also very good. The beans were really good after adding a bit of salt. The chile verde itself was a delight, really well seasoned with a pleasant tartness from the tomatillos. It was also a generous serving. The accompanying tortillas were warm and fresh. This was another delightful lunch in this charming little restaurant. The service was also very pleasant. Did you know that Punjab started here?
