REALLY great TACOS! All are great but the Mixtos are my favorite. Guacomole is wonderful but you have to be a fan of cilantro which I am. The homemade juices are very refreshing and not too sweet .
Jane AvrietteMay 31, 2013I wanted to say the cheese/avocado taco was DA BEST and then I had the al pastor. Which is also DA BEST. So the answer here is both of them are, but they are DA BEST at different things. CONSUME.
Kaz K.October 25, 20153 tacos minimum for around $9. Guac and chips are $6. The tacos are delicious, despite the relatively high prices. They have a great selection of veggie.
Sophia HJune 11, 2017Carne and pollo tacos are great. Al pastor (pork) = not impressed at all. I love pork but could barely taste any in the taco
Cory AllenFebruary 27, 2014Pollo tacos are great! Cilantro, lime & cucumbers make it quasi healthy. Guac was good, too.
Ebrahim BandookwalaJuly 21, 2015Queso con aguacate taco: crisp Oaxaca cheese on the griddle along with two warm tortillas before topping it with creamy wedges of ripe avocado and onion.
Adam SeanJune 17, 2018The tacos are good but salty and rely a lot on sauce, so you lose the freshness of the ingredients. Pica Taco, a few blocks away, is better.
People talk about the AL Pastore, but the mixto is great!
SLou BooSeptember 9, 2012Don't go here if you're already hungry/hangry/starving. Otherwise, tacos are as good as it gets in DC.(coming from a Californian that's a huge deal!)
Edgar RodriguezNovember 3, 2012Al Pastor tacos taste more like carnitas, they're not really good. Other tacos are just fine. Believe me, I'm Mexican.
Jenn ShinJanuary 11, 2013Looks will deceive! The tacos may look delicious but they don't live up to expectation!
Jason DistrictAugust 21, 2012The Mixto Taco (Carne Asada/Chorizo) with the habanero salsa is a winner!
FritzSeptember 7, 2012they charge extra to mix&match (but don't tell you & blame your not looking at the paper menu). go to Pica Taco instead..they're are honest, give more food, are nicer, & don't have so many rules
- Kurt JAugust 29, 2012Starting September 1st 2012, tacos will have to be ordered in orders of three. Tacos must be the same style.
Anna JohnSeptember 25, 2012They should rename the guac "CILANTROmole"--and I'm usually a fan of the herb! Ew. No avocado taste at ALL. Avoid. So bad, it ruined the whole overpriced meal ($30 goes a lot further @ District Taco).
This as authentic as you can get in the city. Puro Mexico!
Mas.CositasAugust 29, 2013Buenos sí, muy parecido a los tacos que se comen en México solo que se pasan de cebolla tuve hasta resaca de cebolla. El 'guacamole picante' son dos mentiras porque ni pica y tampoco tiene aguacate.
