La Prensa Tacos & Tapas

Food was perfectly prepared.. excellent service .. great atmosphere

We have been several times and have always had delicious food, amazing craft cocktails, and excellent service! Eggplant chips with rosemary and honey are my favorite item on the menu but we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered.

Great food, service and margaritas!! A group of us came for a class on the preparation and cooking of tamales and empanadas….delicious! We each also had a choice of two tacos for our lunch and everyone loved what they had. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful cocktail class and came back for the tamales and empanada class. The tacos and jerk chicken empanada were awesome. Drinks were fresh. We will be returning yet again.

Class Was Great!!! Tomas Was Exceptional!! Food Was Amazing You Must Try His Homemade Salsa. *chef kiss* I Would Highly Recommend. I Am Definitely Returning!!

They have the most amazing margaritas. Their shrimp tacos are yumm-o! Their street corn (although spicy) is so fresh.

We had a great class making tamales and empanadas. Thomas was fun and the food delicious!!

Out in the suburbs of Northern VA, La Presna offers more than just a feast for the senses--it's a lively rendezvous point where the casual bar atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for groups or a cozy catch-up with a friend. With service that's as warm as the Spanish sun and a cocktail menu that could easily be mistaken for an artisan's craft showcase, this tacos and tapas bar turns every visit into an occasion. From the get-go, the culinary parade dazzles. The Berenjenas Fritas, more than mere fried eggplant chips, are drizzled with rosemary honey, blurring the line between snack and art, and proving that La Presna plays in a league of its own when it comes to appetizers. The Patatas Bravas, a rebellious concoction of crispy potatoes topped with brava sauce, garlic aioli, and manchego cheese, is a dish that rallies the taste buds with every bite. Enter the Birria Quesadilla, which could easily be the flag bearer of the menu--a rich blend of short rib and salsa adobo, hugged by a crisped tortilla, making for an ensemble so harmonious, it sings. The Croquetas de Jamon, those crispy bites of Serrano ham and Manchego cheese, serve as delicious proof of La Presna's commitment to bringing gourmet narratives to the table. The Enchiladas Rojas are nothing short of a culinary poem, with layers of flavors and textures that invite you to explore the depths of traditional fare, reimagined with a contemporary twist. And let's not forget the staples--Mexican Street Corn Esquites, variety of taco selections, and Pan con Tomate--each dish a testament to the rich tapestry of flavors that define La Presna. Desserts like the Churros Sundae and Flan are the perfect encore to an already spectacular meal, with the churros offering a crunchy, sweet conclusion, and the flan--a creamy, dreamy nod to the classic. La Presna is the ideal backdrop for any gathering, where the buzz of conversation mingles with the clink of glasses, and every visit feels like a mini-holiday. It's a place where the joy of sharing a meal elevates the simple act of dining to a memorable experience. Whether you're gathering a group for a festive night out or meeting a friend to catch up over delectable bites and sips, La Presna stands ready to host with flair, flavor, and a warm welcome.
