Taqueria Habanero

Where to Find Outstanding Mexican Restaurants Around D.C. | Eater DC

"The family-owned operation by chef couple Dio Montero and Mirna Alvarado offers up a taste of street food from Puebla. Served on perfectly crisp corn tortillas, the shrimp and fish tacos in particular are fresh, flavorful, and filling, striking just the right balance between savory and zesty. Enchiladas verdes and chilaquiles (green or red) are spot on, too. There’s a sister location that caters to University of Maryland students in College Park (and recently relocated nearby). Closer to the original, the owners’ Tequila y Mezcal bar on 14th Street NW offers plenty of cocktails made with agave spirits and a pan-regional food menu. Another Taqueria Habanero opened in Northeast’s new Bryant Street Market." - Tierney Plumb
