Order the egg-white taco. Ask for the potatoes, cheese and black beans, or upgrade to bacon. Doused with citrusy salsa verde, it's the closest thing this town has to a Texas-worthy breakfast taco. Read more

For a quick and delicious burrito or taco head to this place. Order Burrito mojado. They even serve breakfast burritos. For vegetarians get the salsa maya, self serve salsa bar for added flavor!

Order the burrito mojado with al pastor which is pork with pineapple chunks. Or go for their fish tacos and carne asada. Don't forget to stop by their salsa bar, great options.

Dis is the jewel of DC tacos. Corn tortilla tacos w black beans, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, pico, guac, and mestizo salsa is my usual jam. But the fish tacos really hold their own as well!

I got the chorizo which was really good. A bit salty but it’s packed with flavor and not too spicy. Service is fast. The place is small so come at a less busy time or plan to take it to go.

During Lent 2013, I went to District Taco hoping for a non-meat/chicken option and I had the greatest fish taco experience ever. When Lent was over, I still came for the fish tacos on Tues and Fri

Fish or shrimp not served on Wednesdays...also no tofu for vegetarians... Quickest lunch I ever had! Fantastic, tacos!

Basic taco is flawless. Burrito bowl > burritos. Mexican coke, an excellent salsa bar (truly spicy!) and addictive guacamole are all wonderful, too. Nachos are the only disappointment, but who cares?

Try and get a seat at the front table. You can see the grill and great people watching. There's never a shortage of salsa, there are 8 to choose from.

Had several tacos here. The carnitas, the carne asada and the shredded beef Very nice. Even sampled the breakfast burrito. I'm a taco snob and these people are pretty good.

We tried California burritos and classic tacos. Burrito was amazing and taco was good but not grounded beef. Suggest to try it.
Ryan HardingFebruary 21, 2019
Food was awesome! Got the chorizo nachos and it was 🔥🔥

Breakfast burrito = good. Basic tacos = FLAWLESS. I crave them. Also wonderful? Mexican coke, the smoky "hot" salsa and the bright, fresh guacamole. The nachos, however, are a crushing disappointment.
Line Storgaard-ConleyJuly 5, 2012
Get there before or after the lunch rush. That way you do not have to wait 25 mins to order and 25 mins to get your food. Who has time for that?!? The food is delicious!
Melissa JanskyJanuary 2, 2019
This place is legit for some amazing tacos. The guacamole was on point. Check it out if you’re in D.C.

Amazing fish tacos Tuesdays and Fridays. Order online and skip the lines! The food is always amazing.
Rachel RubensteinSeptember 6, 2014
Really like their chips & cheese dip. Good chicken, cheese & black bean quesadilla.
Robin BertelsOctober 14, 2015
During rush hours, get yourself some chips and salsa if you're dying for food as the wait can be considerable. Well worth waiting though.
Ron JeramiahAugust 5, 2018
Great tacos and right off the National Mall to stop and get a couple tacos. The Pibil is awesome.
Percy HolmesAugust 12, 2017
The fish tacos are to die for! Excellent food with superb service.

Try the mojado burrito all week and the fish tacos on Friday...also can't go wrong with a small chip with guac!

If you come after 10am you can pick up some breakfast tacos AND get non-breakfast tacos to save for later in the day.
Juri VolamaMarch 22, 2018
Have the Huevos Rancheros with sausage and you can wait till dinner.
ET ThorntonJune 16, 2015
The three tacos are phenomenal, but being able to get a breakfast taco there is pure heaven!
Vlad Snoopy GumeniukApril 6, 2015
I tried taco here for the first time. And it was good. District taco is the place you should visit.
Ann OsipovaJune 2, 2017
Awesome!😍 also check free salsa bar👌🏻
Harper WentzApril 20, 2015
They have good slow cooked pork and beef. I liked the three tacos with carnitas, it was very good

Breakfast burritos served all day! That's heaven. Tacos and salsa bar are great, too.
Leslie LinaresSeptember 19, 2017
I always go for the kid's meal. Quesadilla, chips, Guam and juice for a little over $6!
Christopher LongAugust 7, 2014
Basic Mexican, about the same as Chipotle or Qdobe. The shrimp burrito bowl (available on Tuesdays and Thursdays) was good.
Felix RrdMarch 27, 2016
Very generous portions for little money. Efficient service and, most importantly, delicious burritos!
Isa LaraJanuary 16, 2014
Wow. Best tacos I've had in a long time. Did barbacoa "con todo" (with everything) plus guacamole. Yum!
NOM NOM BorisNovember 20, 2012
World of super nomnom tacos, stop by and order Al Pastor & Carne Asada Tacos. More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com

Probably the best Mexican I have had in DC which says more about mexican in DC than anything else
Erica WatersFebruary 6, 2013
Do not get the quesadilla with pinto beans, or any beans for that matter. Got back to my office and it was mushy slop, big disappointment! Guac was excellent however!
Caroline WuJuly 23, 2017
Amazing, cheap, loaded tacos! I had the fish and it was very refreshing
Evelyn AranaMarch 29, 2016
The carne asada tacos were delicious! Their meat isn't spicy which is how I like it.
Venny F. VenistineJuly 5, 2013
Taco's my daughter Fave.....! Everything about tacos, No doubt for her.. Taste? Just #1word : Top !
Chris MooreFebruary 7, 2015
Fish tacos win. Only available on certain days as they alternate with shrimp.
Will RigbyMarch 31, 2016
The lines get crazy long, but it's worth it. Chicken tacos are excellent.
KirkAugust 13, 2015
Buro Mojado with carne asada is a little on the spicy side, but oh so good. 👌🏼
Chip TallentJanuary 4, 2013
Huevos Rancheros is an awesome breakfast very filling and nice and spicy

Epic customized veggie tacos with free guacamole & a salsa bar. Awesome.
Brett payneMarch 25, 2015
Not the best for vegetarians. Solid food and the salsa is great but you're mostly stuck with the fixins that go on the the meat options.

Easily the best Mexican food in DC. Breakfast tacos with chorizo are heavenly.
allisonAugust 7, 2015
Busy lunchtime taco joint with the best burrito bowls.
Amelia FriedmanSeptember 2, 2015
Majorly crowded at weekday lunch and rarely has a spot to sit. Better for take-out.
EDecember 28, 2014
Don't hesitate to request a tour of the menu and don't worry about choosing fast. It's a meal. Respect yourself.
