"For our vegetarian and vegan friends, finding a perfect date spot can be tricky. Enter Chaia Tacos, the DC-born vegetarian taco restaurant beloved by both omnivores and herbivores. Both Chinatown and Georgetown locations offer counter service so your casual lunch date won’t feel intense, but the gorgeous, seasonal veggie tacos like roasted butternut squash with goat cheese, caramelized onions, chipotle, yogurt, and mint or creamy kale and potato with pepper jack, poblano crema, salsa verde, and pickled red onion offer a fine dining vibe for a touch of formality. Each taco is customizable if cheese isn’t your thing, and the Chinatown location serves happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m." - Vox Creative
"Bettina Stern, who co-founded the vegetarian taco spot, Chaia, which has two locations in D.C., was inspired by the Georgetown restaurant’s proximity to the Potomac River, a popular running path." - ByPriya Krishna
