Taco Baja — Restaurant in Virginia

Ok. So i was looking for a place that did fresh Mexican food on the way home from work. I decided to try Taco Baja. It looked like a hole-in-the-wall place and i like that because i believe they are usually great places to eat. Well...i in this case i want to emphasize the word " usually ". Now...the food wasn't bad. It was pretty ok. I had a burrito, a hard shell taco, and a pork and cheese pupusa for 9.95 and a taquito plate for the same price. You may think " Wow!

So I just ate what they gave me. The staff is moderately attentive to its customers as the focus clearly resides at the small bar. I’m a big fan of supporting local businesses, especially ma and pa shops, but this place...

It was too dark to even read the menu; the music was extremely loud (so loud that you could not have conversation, and the bartender/waitress could barely hear you; or you her), there appeared to almost be a brawl inside of the establishment...but the food we ordered was good, and the waitress/ bartender was friendly. BUT, the atmosphere was a little frightening, so we decided to take our food and hurry out. Even the first UBER we summoned canceled on us when it appeared to be only 50 ft away (we saw it across the street...don't know if he had seen us yet...dark outside. The 2nd UBER we summoned (additional 6-minute wait) picked...
