"Taqueria Xochi, the former ghost kitchen that two laid-off restaurant workers grew into a hit carryout spot on U Street NW, is finalizing plans to open a second location. Co-owner and director of operations Geraldine Mendoza tells Eater the company is putting the last touches on a lease agreement for an Adams Morgan space where they want to introduce outdoor seating, host a market component inside, and offer a wider range of sweets from chef-owner Teresa Padilla, who trained as a pastry chef during the 16 years she spent with José Andrés’s ThinkFoodGroup." - Gabe Hiatt
