Worth crossing town for: tacos in Forest
From Madison Heights it's through Lynchburg and out Forest Road. Order ahead so the trip ends with a bag in your hand rather than a wait at the counter.
A destination trip, planned properly
Madison Heights isn't next door, so the trip should be worth it. That means two things: ordering something the drive won't ruin, and not spending the time you saved standing in line. Order-ahead pickup handles the second, and a little menu strategy handles the first.
Burritos, tortas and loaded fries are the sturdiest choices. Quesabirrias are spectacular but at their best in the first few minutes, so they're better if you're eating close by. Sauces on the side keep everything from going soft on a longer ride.
If you're making the drive anyway, it's worth ordering enough to cover dinner for the household — the menu is easy to scale, and rice, beans and chips stretch a takeout order across a table.
- Order online before you set out
