Northern Virginia has many wonderful restaurants that you should definitely try out at least once. While restaurant seating may be limited right now, many restaurants have the option of offering take-out. It may not be the same as enjoying your favorite foods inside the restaurants’ unique atmospheres, but now you don’t have to go without your favorites. Personally, I love ethnic foods and trying new dishes, so take-out is a great way of still doing that. I also love to support local small businesses, so if you haven’t yet, I encourage you to give these a try.

El Tio Tex-Mex Grill – Just off of Lee Highway and Linton Hall Road, this restaurant has, in my opinion, the best homemade salsa and guacamole. They also have limited dine-in, pick up, and a nice front porch dining area for those cooler days. Location: 7527 Linton Hall Road
