La Victoria Taqueria Opens in Arlington

The new Arlington location of La Victoria Taqueria opened for dinner last night and will begin serving lunch today, according to a poster on Chowhound. The restaurant, which is based in Beverly, is meant to be a "celebration of Mexican street food."

Another Chowhound user describes the place as "small" and with a "menu heavy on tortas," along with tacos and quesadillas. It was already doing "a brisk business" last night. A third user tried the torta milanesa last night and describes it as "delicious and a good deal at $6.50," also praising the chips, guacamole, and good selection of Mexican sodas and horchata.

La Victoria Taqueria's older sibling in Beverly was the subject of a Globe "Cheap Eats" review earlier this year; Ellen Bhang enjoys the "bright, fresh flavors" and recommends the torta al pastor, laco lengua, burrito surtido, and plato Mexicano with chicken.
