FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

This is a dope place in falls church, va. It's called (and i hope im not butchering the name) La Caraquena. It's been featured in diners, drive-ins, and dives. It's actually in a crappy motel LOL. Tried going about 4 years back, had reservations and everything, but my wife got sick in the parking lot due to her pregnancy and we never made it in. Place was out of sight/out of mind, but we went last night and we're so glad we did. Food was amazing. DMV heads, it's worth trying out....
