Move over ice cream for breakfast, there’s a new morning cuisine coming to Alexandria.
Chop Shop Taco at 1008 Madison Street in the Braddock neighborhood is launching all-day tacos starting today (Friday).
“We’re running a ‘buy one, try one’ promo for the first 25 people in line at 8 a.m.,” owner Doug Rashid said in an email. “These are not just egg & cheese tacos. Chop Shop Taco has launched a breakfast menu full of tacos, burritos, a delicious avocado tostada and more.”
Rashid said Chop Shop will offer brisket, chorizo, ground beef, pork, chili, tater tots or Beyond Meat in the tacos. Each is filled with cheese, salsa and scallions.
The avocado tostada, meanwhile, will feature scallions, chipotle, salsa, ancho, chile, pumpkin seeds, radish and fresh herbs with an option to add a fried egg.
The new breakfast is available Monday through Friday, from 8-11 a.m.
