La Sandia (Tyson's Corner)

I noticed when La Sandia opened few years back and I always wanted to try this restaurant but never got a chance to actually taste their food. 

Luckily, my sister and I were talking about if there are any good restaurants left in Tyson's Corner since the corporate restaurants have taken over that whole market. She mentioned how she wasn't really thrilled by Seasons 52, Coastal Flats, or Brio. So we started to talk about La Sandia and how neither one of us had been there. And so we decided to try the place out. As we went in the restaurant, the host noticed us and walked us to our booth. We were immediately greeted by the server and placed our orders. I ordered their fresh Watermelon juice which was really refreshing.

My sister stuck with water and we went for our entrees. She ordered the shrimp and chicken fajita which were dry. The shrimp was not soft and it was very chewy. The chicken was pretty much the same. But the main reason why I decided to write about this place, is because of how good their skirt steak that was topped off with grilled bell peppers. That steak was one of the most tender and tastiest steaks I have ever had. I didn't even need a knife to cut the meat. The sauces that were on the side compliment the steaks really well. 

I loved the interior of the place and the service. It's definitely worth the try. It's not a place where you'd be drooling for afterwards, but surely much better then the other restaurants in that particular part the shopping center.
