During quarantine a group of friends and I decided to do our diligence and support local businesses. What better way than to try EVERY* beef taco in Alexandria and rate them BLINDLY.
Into the car we went, to every taco shop we could think of, to pick up our to-go orders. We returned to my house with an abundance of beef tacos, margaritas, and chips. My kind of night. You feel me?
Because we had such a great time tasting tacos, included are instructions and score cards for free so you can play too.

*We Missed a Few Taco Places in Alexandria
Since writing this article, new places have opened up. Thus, we were unable to include them in our study. We also chose to only highlight the places that placed well. This is because we wish to support local businesses and want to encourage others to venture out and try new places, even those that are not mentioned above.
