For the last month or two, the third Thursday of the month has been a special day that you may not have been aware of on Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. The Chief Petty Officers Association (CPOA) set up in front of the Second Tour Thrift Store on Sampson Road to serve a delicious spread of South of the Border fare, including hard and soft tacos made with zesty beef or savory white meat chicken, slow simmered and saucy, black beans and rice, and
all of the toppings that make a taco a complete meal.
The CPOA open shop at 11 a.m. and serve until 1 p.m. By noon on Thursday, July 20, there was already a full house under the various tented tables that are set up for your al fresco dining pleasure. More than a dozen folks came out to enjoy the sunshine and delicious lunch and more were in line to enjoy the fare.
The serving table was laden with platters of cheeses, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, sauces, different beans and types of rice, along with the beef and chicken and a choice of hard or soft tortillas for you to create your own taco masterpiece.
What’s the best part of this latest “pop-up” dining opportunity at NSF Dahlgren? All of the proceeds benefit the CPOA in their fundraising endeavors! Or perhaps the best part is that you don’t have to drive off base to have a fresh, fast, hot and delicious lunch. Either way, mark your calendars for the third Thursday of the month and watch the “Base Happenings” in the South Potomac Pilot to ensure your lunch is something to “Taco-bout”!
