    Soju flight & draft modelo
    James H.

    Been here twice and both times had great service! Nice and clean, and not too big or loud. The food is tasty and the soju is always nicely chilled. Happy hour is also 3-8, which is longer than most nearby places. Would recommend for anyone looking for good tacos!

    Birria Nachos

    Taco Chinoz is Korean-Mexican fusion and had a lot of flavor and big portions! I had the Beef Birria Taco and the Spicy Pork Belly Taco. My sister and I also shared the Beef Birria Nachos. Everything was really flavorful and the portions were generous! I was pretty full after sharing the nachos and only getting through one taco. Although, everything felt a bit too greasy which made me feel heavy after a while. Still, the flavors were solid and tasty.

    Board game station

    The restaurant is nicely decorated and with an ample bar for a wide selection of drinks was seated right away as only a few people were inside, this was very early afternoon. They have a station with hot sauces and also board games. One of the tvs near the entrance replays all their ads with their amazing food. I think that caught my eye more than the menu. So many amazing options to choose from! Decided to start with trio of guac, salsa and cheese. Unfortunately that one was the biggest disappointment. I wish the chips were home made. The salsa and cheese were okay. The guac was fresh. For $15, I think they could do a bit better. But that's my only con for this review. The rest, was delicious. Got the spicy pork belly burrito and definitely needed a bit more spice so the hot sauce station was appreciated. Also got the quesadilla birria and the consomé was so good! The quesadilla was grilled to perfection, piping hot and toasty. Also got the mango tango drink and it was smoky, sweet and the right amount of alcohol. Next time I plan on trying the ramen. Also wish they bring this to Maryland someday. The staff was also very welcoming.

    Taco Chinoz & Bar is a good place to get a burger and fries. They have a variety of food options on their menu and its a bit eclectic with a fusion of Latino and Asian (mostly Korean). I think it's a unique place that offers food and drinks different from other regular restaurant so its a bit fun. Bartender was my server as it was mid afternoon. Overall good service, good food and good drinks. I recommend Taco Chinoz & Bar in Sterling.

    Bulgogi beef burger

    Excellent service,delish food and beautiful decor! Our server Alia was super sweet and loved chatting with her. The chicken Birria taco and beef bulgogi burger were outstanding! The birria chicken fries were out of the world. You just can't go wrong with this place! Loved it!

    Had the Chinoz, spicy pork belly, spicy chicken, and Korean fried chicken. Really liked it a lot and the food was so flavorful. Definitely coming back and it has great music and great service!

    Korean fried chicken taco
    Swatee G.

    Stopped by here for a late late lunch today. We were the only people in the restaurant. The place is definitely super cute! Fusion Mexican and Korean food. Tried 4 different tacos and each one was honestly delicious. These are not traditional tacos by any means. Most tacos have cheese ( moz) and a crispy flour tortilla ( pan crispy, not fried crispy, I don't think). The fried tilapia taco has pineapple in it and tasted delicious. My second taco was the Korean fried chicken taco from their special menu. I got it with some of their sweet and spicy sauce. The sauce is strong, but the taco was very well made. They chop up the chicken, so it's not big pieces and the melted cheese holds things together. Ragz was a huge fan of this one. I do wish their tacos came with pico, but you can order some on the side. Ragz's got the Korean beef bulgogi taco and the spicy fried chicken taco. I actually loved his chicken taco - it has a bit of a Teriyaki style flavor to it. The place is clean, well lit and bright. Service was quick, respectful and friendly, which I appreciated. Super close to the NVCC Loudoun campus, so I know I will be back soon! And ooh, happy hour runs from 7 pm to close.

    Tamale chicken cold on the inside
    Dolly S.

    Was ok..staff was trying and there was 6 of us but I think they only had 3 tables to help. Salmon salad was big and the lettuce was fresh. Tamale were cold on the inside and the sauce was not good. The flatus were over fried and taste burnt

    Beef Birria Quesadilla

    Korean-Mexican...what's not to like? This shopping center in Sterling has been hit or miss which may be the reason we haven't tried Taco Chinoz yet since it opened. But we have now...and we're glad we did It's a sit down restaurant which kinda surprised me as I thought it was an 'order at the register and they bring you your food' joint. It's a pretty cool spot and it has the requisite KPop music playing pretty loud which keeps things fun/laid back. They have a weekday Happy Hour special with $3 Modelo, Sapporo, or Corona drafts. Wow. Great deal...and the beer comes out frosted/iced which is the best way to enjoy a cold one. The food also hits the spot - Spicy Chicken Burrito is flavorful and has a nice kick to it. The tacos (Bulgogi, Fried Fish, Korean Fried Chicken) are also packed with flavor and spice. Lastly, the Beef Birria quesadillas also were a nice bite. We will be adsing Taco Chinoz to our regular roster of restaurants!

    I love the food for the kids. there is even ice cream!I love the cheddar cheese with the nuggets!God bless all of you!

    I tried the shrimp, birria, and carne asada tacos! They were all amazing!
    Melanie L.

    This place is so killer! I loved every single second of being here. The servers were so great, eye contact, real conversation, and the food got to me so fast! And was FIRE! legit hot ass a freaky welded pipe. And so juicy and flavorful! I will be coming here until the end of days. The margarita was felt before I could get a second one and that's what I call good service! Loved the music, couldnt stop wiggling to the good food and music. If I could give 10 stars I would.

    I was excited to hear that Taco Chinoz had opened a location in Sterling. I had tried their Centreville spot before, but I think the Sterling location is even better. This trendy Korean Mexican fusion is a fun little mix that offers a wide variety of items. On this visit, our group ordered the Birria Ramen, Birria Quesadilla, and Birria Nachos. It turned into a big birria day for us, and all three dishes were tasty and a creative way to enjoy birria in different forms. Service was attentive and the food came out quickly. The menu also listed Sterling exclusive items, which was a nice touch, though I did not get the chance to try them. My friend and I also ordered a pair of soju margaritas, which were fun and delicious. I am sure this will become a new go to spot for me since it is such an easy choice for casual dining and hanging out.

    Came in alone for lunch on a Tuesday and was the only person dining. Plenty of tables with a warm atmosphere located in a strip mall. Service was quick and polite and the food was amazing. If I lived nearby I'd be here weekly. I had the Birria burrito and found the beef to be juicy and flavorful. Came with rice, beans, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. I'd like to come back and try some other things off the menu. They also have a full bar and great happy hour. Enjoy!

    Such a good deal for quality and a large variety of foods! We went in for lunch and it wasn't busy…read moreat all. The appetizer and dessert bar with all their sauces was so nice and had actually delicious options across the board. I love that they even had lychee in the dessert section! You can only choose two of the three all you can eat options: hot pot, sushi, and bbq. We picked bbq and sushi, and all of the bites were great! The bbq has all of the standard sides and meats that were so so yummy, especially the pork belly. The bbq items came out what felt like minutes after we came back with filled plates from the appetizer bar. Only thing we wish was different was that we got the sushi after the kbbq and we were pretty full by the time it came out. Otherwise everything was great from start to finish and can't wait to go back!

    This spot is the real deal! After reading great reviews of this restaurant, I came to Running Dish…read morewith my best friend to catch up over dinner. We were instantly greeted at the door and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get a table. From there, we decided to go for the triple combo of AYCE sushi, hot pot, and KBBQ. The best choice! We began by ordering sushi and items for our hot pot - all were incredibly fresh and tasty. I particularly loved the Szechuan broth - which I made sure to ask them to make vegetarian (be sure to ask beforehand as some broths are made with pork). From there, we fired up the grill with brisket, bulgogi, and, my favorite, the garlic shrimp! Everything was so juicy and paired perfectly with the sauce bar items we chose. I particularly loved the crab rangoons and kimchi as some fun sides! The restaurant is very spacious and is great for groups or eating with a friend. I appreciated how attentive and accommodating each server was. In my opinion, this is one of the best KBBQ spots in town! Definitely worth the visit.

    We came here to this Chinese Korean spot to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday! We ordered a variety…read moreof dishes and each one was very tasty and comforting. It's all flavors/dishes that are familiar to me growing up in a Chinese household or that I love of Korean cuisine, so I definitely enjoyed dining here! They gave us banchan and dessert on the house which was so kind! I had a nibble of most the dishes and would recommend the spicy bulgogi stir fry, soy glazed brisket, and jjajangmyeon. Can't go wrong with any of the small plates too! Service was impeccable and Happy Hour is every day 3-6pm.

    It had been almost a year since we went to Chiko. We decided to return and try different entrees…read more Upon entering, the general manager greeted us and told us to sit anywhere we wanted. The dining room isn't very big, and since we came for an early dinner, we had our pick and chose a four-top with a view. Well... the view was basically the Paris Baguette that's across the street. The general manager came by to take our order. To drink, I had a mocktail, "house-made lime cooler," which consists of "pureed Asian pear, lime juice, and Sichuan tea." I found it to be very refreshing. My husband had a Coors Light. For my entree, I chose "Soy glazed brisket" which consists of "2Fifty Texas BBQ brisket, soy brined soft egg, furitake butter, pickled peppers, steamed rice". I liked this entree. It was mildly spiced; the pieces of brisket were properly prepared; the pickled peppers added some heat; and the soy-brined soft egg was a nice touch. The egg was soft-boiled, and the egg yolk provided a nice flavor. My husband chose "JJayJangmeon" which consists of "shrimp, scallops, roasted black bean sauce, noodles". The dish is made with wheat noodles. It arrived hot and with a nice vegetable garnish on top. The greenness of the vegetables made a nice contrast to the dark brown sauce. That brown sauce was hot, mild, and thoroughly coated the dish's ingredients. It seemed a bit unusual to see a dish with shrimp and scallops coated in a mild black bean sauce, but it worked nicely. The shrimp arrived tail-less, and the scallops were soft and not rubbery, both properly prepared. I was glad not to have to fight with the shrimp tails. All in all, we were glad we made a return visit.
