I thought that this spot was just another one of those swanky new places that are riddled throughout the city, and it wouldn't last long. Especially on a main thoroughfare like the N.E. side of Florida Ave. But hold up, this eatery has been there for a minute now, and I was always curious about it. So I finally stopped at 535 Florida Ave., N.E. Washington D.C. @fareasttacogrille !! I have to be honest here...I didn't expect much...I was WRONG!! This establishment has a really dope Asian/Latino food fusion with menu items like their Quesadilla that has Chorizo Picante, and/or Spicy Octopus as a protein option!! Wow!! They also have burritos, rice bowls, salads, Kimchi (Korean fermented and spiced vegetables) fries, jalapeño poppers, Mandu (a meat, or vegetable filled dumpling that can be fried, boiled, baked, or steamed) dumplings, and chicken wings!! On this trip I copped their Chicken Cool Wrap (pictured-with grilled chicken, lettuce, red bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, in a tortilla with the Chef's special sauce $9.50). Smack Smack...STAMP...excellent!! This wrap qualifies for BIG SCHLIMS LITE POCKET MEALS...and it's worth it. I crushed, it was truly that good!! Next up was their Elote (pictured-buttered, smothered with Yum Yum sauce, topped with cotija cheese, and sprinkled with chili lime seasoning $4.95). Now many places has this popularized item. But not with the good Yum Yum on it!! Another STAMP from me!! Lastly was their 3 mixed Taco option (pictured-a spicy chicken, a chorizo picante, and a sliced ribeye steak on corn tortillas, all topped with a splash of lime, fresh corn, black beans, pico de Gallo, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, Korean bbq, fried onion flakes, and spicy mayo-$11.95). Now I thought I over did it with the plethora of topping options they have. I didn't. These tacos were EVERYTHING!! So...STAMP these too!! The whole meal was bomb!! Customer service was on point, parking was difficult because you have to park on a side street. The establishment was clean. Go!! No disappointment here. Trust.
