The Chef at One of D.C.’s Best Taquerias Learned to Cook by Fending for Himself | Eater DC
"Nearby Mezcalero explores a broader sweep of regional Mexican cooking and recreates Mexico City street traditions, notably tacos de canasta: three guajillo-dipped tortillas heated to order and separately packed with beans, chorizo and potatoes, and chicharrones to mimic the steamed, perfumed tortillas sold by bicycle vendors. Opened in 2017 two doors down, it fills with crowds seeking tacos, enchiladas, and the same streetwise authenticity the siblings prize." - Gabe Hiatt
