District Taco

Order on screens or with their very friendly staff. Build your perfect lunch. Plenty of choices and you can dine in or take out. Food was fresh and good. The drink machine at this location is broken, so only bottled drinks. Prices are typical.

The food tastes great but for $20 they only filled the burrito bowl to halfway. It wouldn't have cost them nothing to add a little bit more lettuce. If I order a burrito bowI kind of want the whole bowl to be full....Not halfway like the picture. Fun atmosphere, but won't come back since you get so little for what you pay for.

We ordered a bowl and burrito. We ordered guacamole on the burrito and paid almost $3 extra for it. We took our food home and there was no guacamole in the burrito. The prices were crazy already (no drinks and $30+), but the omission of the $3 add-on makes us less likely to return in the future.

I haven’t been to District Taco in a while and this was the first time I’ve been to this location, but honestly I had a very positive experience. The food was good, the service was good and the electronic ordering kiosks were very intuitive and user friendly. Definitely recommend checking this out if you can somehow find parking or can get there on foot.

I went for the first time for breakfast. Ordered online for pick up. The two ladies in the front were working so hard but they were very nice. The order came out quickly which is good because I only had 10 minutes to run to my office. I ordered 1 breakfast taco and one small order of churros. The taco was heavy, nice portion. I got chorizo it was amazing. The chipotle mayo, also amazing. Eggs were perfect. I only wish it held together better. It fell apart but it was so good I scooped it with my hands then a fork. I will return for breakfast I thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time I’ll get the wet ingredients on the side. Churros were crunchy hire than I expected but tasted good.

Excellent burrito bowl. Actively cleaned during my visit. Older decor. Very quick service. Quite tasty, and seemingly very healthy - no grease/fat. Moderate price. Would certainly return.

The food was good and price was crazy high. We ordered for our daughters and my wife. I got a coffee and had a couple of bits from their orders. We enjoyed the place. It was nice and clean with good music playing. I went to wash my hands after, but there as no soap in the bathroom, and I let the staff know, and washed my hands in another restroom.

30Apr.2021 My lover and I had a wonderful lunch here today. The cashier/food preparer was polite and patient. Food prepared fresh at time of purchase. My Carne Asada taco’s were great. Flavorful moist steak. The chicken quesadillas my lover had was superb. Atmosphere was laid back and a bit loud from the cooling system. Nothing major. The music was pretty up beat. Nice and clean in there. I didn’t see any way a wheelchair was accessible. Just because it’s the city, there should be access’ for handicap as well.

Went vegan to satisfy my no meat Monday and I was very satisfied! I created 3 corn tortilla tacos with Itza, black beans and grilled veggies and their chili tomato on the app. A very filling and satisfying meal. Service was quick and efficient and just as the lunch rush was beginning. Not a long wait as there were 3 people waiting in front of me for their orders. The staff was completing a few large orders for delivery and they all seemed well coordinated to handle walk ins and app order without breaking stride. It's a nice vibe indoors so I plan to stay inside next time.

This was my first time dining here. The customer service here is great! The food was fresh and tasty. They have a coco cola fountain. So you can make your drink your way. The establishment is clean along with the restrooms. This a good place to enjoy fresh food! If you're ever in the area...GET SOME!!!!

I ordered the 3 fish taco meal. Bomb.com These tacos taste super delicious. Each taco is a nice size and 3 of these bad boys will definitely fill you up. Maybe to skip a meal.

A great spot in Rosslyn! The tacos and other food are excellent and come in large portions. The jalapeño poppers had the largest jalapeños I have ever seen. The torta and street corn were also outstanding. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. I greatly enjoyed my lunch at District Taco!

District Taco is a good choice if you're looking for fast, customizable tacos, burritos, bowls, or quesadillas. All the ordering was done on touchscreens, our order was ready quickly, and they had a lot of seating. I got a bowl with pollo asado and lots of vegetable toppings (you can pick 9), and it was good, about what I expected from visiting other District Taco locations before. I also tried some of my kid's mini bacon quesadilla (nice that they have a kids' meal option), and that came with a bag of chips that was large enough for us all to share. While the food was good, I really appreciate this location most for being open their regular hours on Easter Sunday when many other places in the area were already closed, and for letting us dine there shortly before closing. We had arrived in Arlington far later than we anticipated that night, and we were very grateful for a place to take a break and have a good meal instead of the granola bars in our bag.

Tasty and substantial tacos. You may find you have 1 of the 3 tacos for later. Consider sharing if you're with someone and add some chips and guacamole.

If you've taken the time to read my reviews, you will notice that I am a stickler for high quality customer service. With that being said, I have to give a major shout out to Eric B. (Customer Success Manager) at District Taco. He's always a pleasure to work with. I had to place a catering order and he quickly sent over a quote for my needs. I needed to make some changes to the quote, and he made it easy for me to do so. Unfortunately, I can't remember the two ladies who came to set everything up but they were very friendly and efficient. It felt like they were in and out on all of 5 minutes. Without a doubt District Taco will be on my list for future catering needs.

I ordered the chicken tacos from this establishment, and I must say that they were the best tacos that I have ever eaten. The tacos were very flavorful and well-seasoned. They were on fresh flour shells, and they were very filling. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely accommodating and friendly. The ambiance was very inviting. I will certainly visit again when I am in DC.

Loved the fish tacos. I had the grilled fish tacos deluxe and they were delicious the salsa was spicy like I like it.

I'm out of town and have never heard of District Taco- but I am thoroughly impressed. I would compare the process to ordering food like chipotle, except we ordered on a kiosk. The workers were very helpful and brought our food out to us (which we were not expecting) and everything tasted amazing. Their queso was unique, they had unique toppings for their entrees, and they even served beer to my Dad. I am a vegetarian and they have a beyond meat option which tasted amazing. The prices were cheap for being downtown and the portions were large for the price. I would highly recommend and would love to eat here again.

Decided it had been too long since I went to District Taco while visiting the east coast. I was beyond disappointed when I got there. I should have ran when I saw it. The tacos weren't bad. But the tortillas sucked. They were straight up sticky/soggy. The queso was likely the best part of the meal or chips. The ordering system is via screen that if you don't know what they have nowadays you won't find anything. I miss the OG place and likely won't return again.

Good food. Quick service. Reasonable portion. We had the nachos and three tacos. It would have been five star if they would have allowed me to put the sour cream on the side for the nachos. We were going to share it and someone in the group is not a fan of sour cream.

One of my favorite restaurants, The California burrito was one of my favorite meals. Cristy was super helpful, had a positive attitude and was very easy to talk to. Would come here and would recommend.

Love the food, place is clean, and Armida made sure my order was made correctly and in time.

Very mixed bag first experience. I ordered a quesadilla carne asada and the papas gordas (loaded fries). The quesadilla was a 1 star and the papas gordas a 5, so we'll meet in the middle? The main issue w the quesadilla was the tortilla. It was more of a crepe texture/consistency. So instead of being a nice crispy pocket for the cheese and goodies, it just ended up being a soggy falling apart mess. The guacamole on the side was also old and already discolored to a light shade of brown. The fires on the other hand were the bomb. Soft fries, loaded up w a ton of toppings. The meat was great. Generous portion. Really hit that "brunch so hard from my couch because I'm scared of catching the plague and dying" spot.

The tacos were a little pricey but very tasty. You order on a screen and can customize the tacos which is nice. We took the tacos to go as there wasn't much seating inside. The staff were friendly.

District Taco is an easy and filling option to fulfill any of your Mexican food cravings. It's super quick and tastes amazing. We ordered the burrito with homemade guac, rice, black beans, tomato, jalapeno, white onion, lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, grilled veggies, sour cream, and cilantro. Even though we ordered take out, the meal was big enough to fill two people! I'm excited to go back and try out some of the other locations after the pandemic!

I was very excited that I'd be working within walking distance to a taco place because I freakin love tacos. I'm hoping that I caught them on an off day because I was totally underwhelmed. First off the place was packed and super loud. I felt like I was shouting at my co-worker. Second, when ordering I went with a safe bet and ordered the carne aside taco and one carnitas both the "jefe way." Then I was given the option of flour or corn tortillas. I asked the employee what he recommended and he recommended flour tortilla for the carnitas and corn for the carne asada so I went with that. Oh and I asked for my order to be "here" not "togo." When my food arrived my tacos were all wrapped up like they were togo.... First I opened my carne asada and this is where the disappointment started come over me. My tortilla was falling apart but regardless I took a bite hoping to taste delicious carne asada. The carne asada was horrible and unlike any authentic carne asada I've ever had. It was tough, chewy, and really just tasted like old steak. It didn't seem to be seasoned or marinated like any carne asada I've ever tasted. On to my second choice fingers were crossed. I opened the carnitas taco and bam corn tortillas even though I ordered flour on that option! The carnitas taco stayed together a bit more than the carne asada but it was cold. My coworker ordered a barbacoa burrito bowl and seemed to enjoy it. Maybe I've been spoiled all of my life with authentic mexican food but District Taco definitely fell short of my expectations. I probably won't be back.

Way downhill. Ordered ahead and they had my order ready; good. But they got it wrong; bad. Not worth returning for, but they gave me one carnitas taco (ordered two). The price has gone sky high now. You will pay about $15 for three rather ordinary tacos, which any adult will eat in five minutes time. You can now get some nice gourmet tacos down the road at taco bamba for the same price, more options, reliable, tasty. They have now done away with the fine salsa bar they had, which was the best thing about the place (this is the Rosslyn location I'm talking about). Salsa bar was vacant when i visited. I cannot see why, but if you asked, I'm sure they will somehow blame that on covid too(?). Fish tacos are fair, but you will not even have a lime with that, which is normally part of the deal on fish tacos. Side salsa if you request is rather plain. I am not sure how they figure this is a fair value at all. Will not be back.

The rice tasted so weird. They were Conveniently located for what I needed. It is nice they prepare everything in front of you.

If I could give zero stars, I definitely would. I literally just left this place and I should've known to turn around and go to chipotle when I realize how empty it was. Upon receiving my bowl I realized half of my order was missing. For a $20 meal for one person this place is legitimate trash. I did try and contact this branch regarding the situation of my order and it was pointless. I would not recommend this place to anyone just go to chipotle.

A competitor with Chipotle in terms of price and options, this places provides a slightly more local feel to your customizable, fast-casual Mexican. They have the same types of meals available - tacos, burritos, bowls - with a slightly larger range of meats, including limited seafood options. There's also a mini buffet of salsa options. I ordered the tacos al pastor but was disappointed to find my meat and tortilla very dry. The pineapple in the al pastor was distributed unevenly between my three tacos and was ice cold. I liked the ambiance, but next time I'll take my chances with Chipotle or order something very different. There isn't much in the way of convenient parking at this location either, which doesn't help much.

I've heard good things about District Taco, so I decided to try it while I was in D.C. It was a hard decision to choose between the California Burrito or just go with 3 Tacos. I ended up going with the 3 Tacos (1 Al Pastor, 1 Carnita, 1 Carne Asada) wrapped in a flour tortilla, dressed in the 'Jefe Way'. I never had Al Pastor, so I gave it a go and I wasn't disappointed at all, however I was in the other two tacos. I have personally had better else where. The carnita was just very juicy and unpleasant to eat, and the carne asada was a step up but doesn't match up to other tacos I have enjoyed. On the other hand, the staff were very efficient and quick with taking my order and getting the food to my table. The overall building and bathroom was clean and organized to where you can find what you're looking for. (Fountain drink machine, toppings bar, bathroom, ). The food I ordered was meh, but I would try other options on the menu if I ever visit again.

I like District Taco. I've eaten at their Arlington, Capitol Hill, and M Street venues. I usually think their food is excellent (I usually have tacos) though the burrito I had today was sort of middling, and given how much I worked for it it should have been delicious. I was working a block away, on a Snow Day, and for the first time ever I ordered online for pickup, thinking I would save time. One mistake I made was when my laptop decided to auto-populate a field with my work email, I let it. My work email has layers of security that make it very difficult to pull up on a phone as opposed to a laptop. So the note pictured here, that says you do NOT need your order number to get your order, was hard to pull up on my phone. As I arrived the manager (it turned out) was having a dispute with someone double parked in an SUV. I went in and before I got my order Mr. SUV charged in and they handed him a bag of food. I noticed that it had a bottled drink (which I'd ordered) and looked like the same size as what I had ordered. I then asked for my order. They could not find it and asked for the email with my order number - the number you are not supposed to need. When I realized I could not pull it up on my phone, where I could only access my personal email, I pulled up my bank account showing that my bank was being charged by District Taco. The manager told me that was irrelevant because it said it was "in process" of being charged. I go back to where I was working, and forward the work email from District Taco confirming my order to my personal email. When I returned, to show the manager my forwarded email on my phone, Mr. SUV has returned. He threw his bag of food across the counter and said "This is NOT my order. I drove all the way back to Georgetown and this not my food!" The manager then asked to look at HIS confirmation on his phone. He had ordered food from some other taco establishment. He had taken my order. (He had apparently not looked at the receipt with my name on it.) The manager said "I asked you if your name was Bruce!" And Mr. SUV said "I said my name was Prince!" (No, not that one.) I said "I thought that looked a lot like my order." The manager then asked me to give him two minutes, since he did not want to give me the bag of food a hothead had touched and driven to Georgetown and back. The manager did not toss in anything extra. A side. Extra chips. Whatever. For denying me my food and making me walk over twice. Here is another culprit in this story, and it is one of my pet peeves. This District Taco plays loud music, the kind I think intended to cover up conversations and cooking sounds, and make people eat quicker so they will leave and open up tables. The result is that one person with a Latin accent and another person with a different accent shouting at each other could not distinguish "Bruce" from "Prince." I am not sure I can order, online anyway, from District Taco again. I already have too many companies and IT systems to hate.

Oh my god this was the worst taco I've ever had. The carne asada meat was cold and extremely chewy. The tortilla was oddly crumbly and just split in half, making the taco very hard to eat. These people should be ashamed of themselves! On behalf of all Mexicans, this food is insulting!

Terrible service on large deliveries. Items were missing, items weren't labeled, tacos just mushed together and toppings gone. They forgot churros. They forgot dressing! The food arrived lukewarm. Don't ever use this restaurant for large orders or corporate catering. The presentation is awful, and the customer service even worse. When I tried to contact the restaurant, I spoke to like three people and no one could refund or redeliver my order until hours later. Really a shame cause the food can be amazing, but they're going on our catering blacklist now.

Just got a burrito here. Paid for meat, but there is none in my food. I don't have time in my schedule today to return to the store. Quality control here sucks. They just stole ~$3 from me.

I remember the days when District Taco was a mere food truck in Crystal City on Thursdays. Now it's the most successful taco fast casual restaurant in the DMV area with this location being one of the largest. It's two blocks from the Rosslyn Metro station on the first floor of the building that also houses a Target. It's a large space with one area for ordering and another for dining in. If you go in the mornings, you can get breakfast tacos and a cup of coffee (they brew a local brand, Swings). The breakfast tacos come with eggs and your choice of meat (including bacon). Pick flour or corn tortilla and doctor them up at the salsa station (they also have onions, jalapeno peppers, and lime wedges). For lunch and dinner, they move into more meat options like barbacoa. They have window seating too with outlets if you want to plug in and get some work done.

Big fan of this chain. This location has a lot of high traffic with Rosslyn and Clarendon around the corner. Everything is made in house and tastes really fresh. Food comes out really quick. There is a sauce bar and plenty of seating for all party sizes. My friends and I shared a burrito mojado with carnitas, carne asada, chorizo and fish tacos. Tacos and burrito bowl were delicious. The bowl itself was stuffed to the rim with veggies, meat and beans. No one finished their bowls because of the portion size. All the meats were perfectly seasoned and very tender. Definitely a great place to come for lunch or dinner. They have an extensive breakfast menu as well.

Not a bad stop. Kinda like a local version of Chipotle or Qdoba, except they bring it out, rather than make it in front of you. Got a pretty hefty burrito for a decent price. Seemed a bit light on the chicken, though.

This place is my new Chipotle. 3 tacos and you can choose up to 9 toppings! Plus, they always make things fresh. Fulfills Mexican food cravings. There are always tables open for you to sit at. It's hard to find street parking during the daytime. During the evening, the hilly street parking makes it annoying to navigate through.

My order took 40 mins to get ready, I had to personally go to the front and asked one of the kitchen if my order was ready. What a waste of money, the food was cold, no tasty at all. Very disappointed. My birria noddles was bad.

I didn't have unreasonably high hopes for this place, however I was looking for a darn good taco. The ordering process here is intuitive. I came here during lunch and saw they had a special for 3 shrimp tacos. I've enjoyed shrimp tacos at other places and figured this would be the same. To my dismay, the tacos left much to be desired. When I was finished, I still desired a good taco. You can see the person making the taco and it was clear my tacos were not made with love. The slaw was just schlepped on the corn tortilla, and the baby shrimp were just plopped down. The tacos were then forcefully wrapped and plunged into a brown paper bag. Upon first bite, I knew I made a mistake. The tortilla tasted gritty and stale. The shrimp were room temp and didn't have much flavor. The slaw was crunchy and that's about it. Needless to say, I probably won't be back as I know this area has better tacos to offer elsewhere.

The locale in central Rosslyn is very commercial and has an unlimited supply of generic, chain, fast bites. That being said in this arena of fat lunch joints - District Taco is a solid choice. There ordering process is unique and intuitive offering premade selections, styles for your meal, or simply the ability to choose your toppings from a list. Everything always tastes fresh. The al pastor is a little better than decent, the chorizo has good spice and saltiness, but my regular venture has ended up being the grilled chicken - seasoned just right, not dry, and compliments the other fresh ingredients. Alright, I'll admit it. I'm a total sucker for a salsa bar. Who doesn't like salsa? Communists? People that hate puppies? Anyway, they have a great salsa bar with an absolute favorite of a salsa verde. I'm not sure I've tried any other salsa here, as their verde is inexplicably creamy, perfectly tangy, with just the right amount of kick. I wish I had a shot glass of the stuff as I write this! Is DT the best Mexican food ever? Absolutely not (yo their salsa verde is, for real, top notch) but they are a great spot to swing by for a quick lunch that I enjoy more than the obvious competitor of Chipotle. Friendly staff and reasonably priced, one of my go to's for lunch in Rosslyn!

I was in town for an event and everyone that I talked to about food told me I had to try District Taco. The original is in center city, but they've since been expanding and luckily this location was near where I was staying. I was not disappointed! The restaurant is located in Rosslyn, near public transit and nearby many hotels and other businesses. It's easy to walk here from around the area. It reminded me of other similar TexMex chains; you order your protein and options and pay. You get a number and go find a table- they bring your food to you. On that day, the food arrived quickly. The restaurant is very minimal; concrete floors, colorful walls. The dining room area contains the drink bar and salsa bar; both are bountiful. I had a Mexican Coca-Cola, which supplemented by food perfectly. I had a steak burrito and was thrilled to see how wet they're served. It comes in a disposable bowl; the high walls are necessary to keep the deliciousness in. It looked small to my hungry eyes, but was plenty of food for a reasonable price. The quality was fantastic, taste delicious. I would love to try the original location someday and would definitely eat here again!

We really enjoyed this District Taco location! Darwin at the register who also helped us through the menu was really nice and helpful. The tortillas all made from scratch as well as the different varieties of salsas are all so very very good. A great location too right in the heart of Rosslyn. We really enjoyed lunch today at this District Taco!

A standard taco place with a decent salsa bar. As one of the few restaurants open late in the Rosslyn area, they've definitely become a place to go whenever I get the late night cravings. The tacos are decent for their price, and you can get 3 for $9 as their running promotion. Their choices of meat include al pastor (after 10am), which has become my go to. Service can vary tremendously, but you can tell the line is working their hardest to get all the orders through. Overall, would be willing to go back if convenient, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to get here.

Been here twice now and while the food is good, the service (more specifically the cashier) frankly sucks. Each time the cashier seemed to be completely put out that I dared order dinner at this place. The latest visit had the cashier barely speaking as he took my order. I noted his name, but I won't post it. Its not like you can avoid him. The rest of the service is fine. Now to the food. The last trip was for shrimp tacos and they were very good. I got them to go, but they held up well despite having slaw on them. They were filling (I got three) but I wished I had gotten some chips to complement them. Definitely will be back...maybe online order next time.

I ordered Uber Eats, and it was pretty good! Surprising for a fast food joint. Everything was included and in the package - nothing missing. The ingredients are fresh and the beans and rice were cooked perfectly. You get enough food but it's not like a chipotle-sized serving. The only thing I disliked was that "grilled chicken" is advertised but it's dark leg meat chicken. It is flavorful though. I would order from here again.

***********My 100th review of 2018********** I mentioned in my 99th review of District Taco in downtown DC that my 100th review would be the one in Rosslyn. I reference triple digit heat. For the record, the high on Friday, August 12, 2016 was 99 F, but the extremely high humidity that day made it feel as high as 110 F! The next 3-consecutive days did reach at least 100 F; so it was definitely an intensive heat wave. On Friday, August 12, 2016 I had a first date with a woman from an online dating site. I planned on going to the Rosslyn Outdoor Movie showing, and I wasn't going to let the extreme heat stop me, and the temperatures falling and were only in the low 90's to upper 80's at sunset for the outdoor movie showing, but with the extreme humidity still felt like 103 at sunset. This was a new District Taco that had opened in Rosslyn not long before August 2016. I got the tacos, which I enjoyed. My date & I most enjoyed the cool a/c in the restaurant maybe even more than the delicious tacos! It was clean, and we had a nice view of the one-way eastbound traffic on Clarendon Blvd, where it comes back into Wilson Blvd. They were a friendly staff, and we received our food in a timely manner. My date already knew that I was planning on going to the Rosslyn Outdoor Movie, and that's why we picked a place in Rosslyn in the first place. She said that she was sensitive to the heat and couldn't medically deal with sitting outside in the oppressive conditions that were August 12, 2016. We hugged, and she either walked to Metro (although she may have Ubered back to DC where she lived to avoid any walking at all to Metro), and I walked to the outdoor showing alone. Couldn't get any friends at the last minute to show, but I really enjoyed the movie; didn't enjoy the high heat index though. Overall, I would consider another visit to this District Taco if I go to the Rosslyn Outdoor movie screenings again or if I'm in the area.

Not bad but not great. I think a fair score is: 3.5 Food is pretty tasty, would say on the same level as chipotle, nothing more nothing less. But their price point is what hurts their score. Paid nearly $20 to dine-with an enchilada bowl, no drink or side. That's way too much where similar businesses are charging way less. Customer service is fine. Atmosphere is meh.

I guess since I eat here a lot I may as well review it. This location in Rosslyn sits on a busy and confusing intersection on Wilson Blvd and N. Oak st. I actually like this place because of the food and cleanliness of the store. In my opinion I feel as if the food is more fresh than chipotle and has a more flavorful taste than them as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who has a taste for fast Mexican food.

I have been to this location several times before the generally like there tacos. However, they were off yesterday. I had gotten three tacos: barbacoa, pastor, and carnitas. Ordered these with beans and rice neither of which were cooked all the way. Of the three tacos, the carnitas was best.

Amazing tacos!!! So much better than bowls. Barbacoa is the best (incredibly succulent braised beef with strong peppery flavor, yum). Al pastor comes in a very close second (love the flavorful red sauce), and pulled pork comes in third. The fish taco was meh okay - I wasn't a fan of the bit-heavy mayo in it. The medium-spicy sauce was awesome. I always add that sauce and extra tomato/onion topping and cilantro to my tacos. 3 tacos aren't quite filling enough for dinner. Wish the serving size was 4, which would've been perfect (or 5, if you're very hungry). My friend and I were very hungry so we each had 2 orders of tacos - 6 tacos per person were definitely a bit too much (even my friend, who's a guy and is looking to gain mass, said 6 tacos were too much. But still! DELICIOUS TACOS.

Typical quick service taco spot. The portions are big and the food is good. We especially loved the guacamole.

This is the first time I've been to District Taco's Rosslyn location. Everyone has been waiting for it to open for months! I have to say I was pretty impressed with the tacos + chips and queso I got from here the last time I visited. I got tacos al pastor and they were REAL good. You could definitely taste the pineapple flavor in the chicken and having some pineapple chunks in the taco was also a nice plus. The chips were fresh and salty and the queso was hot and awesome. If I want just tacos this will probably be my go-to place. They blow Chipotle's tacos out of the water and I'll have to try their burritos next to see if I'll just make the full switch. This District Taco is a great location.

The newest store is located on Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn right underneath/next to Target Express. This location due to its cleanliness and preparation of food restores my confidence in District Taco. The location in the Foggy Bottom M Street neighborhood is not comparable to the quality at the Rosslyn location. Although this location is narrow in space, it may have the same square footage as the one in Foggy Bottom. It looks kinda small when you enter, but it's almost like a narrow DC rowhouse, narrow but plenty of space longitudinally. This is my go-to District Taco location for my taco fix. TIP: Always go with the corn tortillas. The carne asada, barbacoa, and carnitas are your best bet for protein.

A lot of my friends have given me negative reviews about this place but I decided to give it a try and judge by myself. I will say the tacos are not 100% authentic, but they are close enough. They definitely do the trick. I had the al pastor nachos and they were really good, fulfilling. Not a ton of meat, but overall good. You get to pick the toppings, pretty straight forwards. I added onions, cilantro, Black beans, cream. Qdoba nachos are still my favorite but these are good! I'll have to come back and try the nachos!

We stopped at District Taco after seeing it following a walk around our hotel. The menu looked perfect for the family. We ordered 3 sets of 3 tacos and 1 kid's meal. The tacos were made per each individual's request. While they were relatively tasty, they were quite small. To fill everyone's hunger, we ordered an additional side of chips and salsa. The restaurant did have a salsa bar that allowed us to add a variety of flavors to our order. While it was all good, none of us were wow'ed.
