    Surprisingly good little taco spot. Not much seating, but some access upstairs. Order the food on tablets, but we loved being to build out our own tailored tacos and burritos. Service was limited but fine. Place is a little industrial and dingy. But the food, not gonna lie, we were all pleased!!! Pro-tip- Can def get away with some kids meals orders to save a buck or two.

    Small Chips & Guac
    Jeff B.

    My partner and I ordered a Protein Vida Bowl, a make-your-own burrito, small chips/guac and a couple of fountain drinks. It was super easy to order and pay from the kiosk. (There was someone at the front taking orders if you didn't want to use the kiosk.) I typed in a first name for the order and, although there were a number of people who also had ordered food, it didn't take more than a few minutes before they called my name. The order was correct and was packed well in a paper bag. The food was delicious. The chicken in our entrees was moist and flavorful, the other ingredients seemed fresh. The small chips was a decent size bag of nice, crisp chips with a nice portion of creamy, fresh guac. (I say creamy to describe the overall texture, but there were also some nice chunks of avocado in the cup.). Overall, impressed with the quick, friendly service, food taste and quality. There's outdoor seating and one table for seating on the main floor. The rest of the indoor seating is upstairs. We usually are in the area when we go to the nearby theaters. This place is definitely added to our rotation for before-theater lunch/dinner.

    -Quick -Priced a little high for portions (except the chips) -Good options for customizing -Great toping options This is the second time I've eaten here in the last year and I have to say the first time was better. They missed one of the toppings that I ordered, and the Carne Asada was a little bland. The guacamole made up for it though.

    Not bad for a quick taco fix. I ordered 3 of the fish tacos and customized the toppings. I wasn't expected them to be wrapped up together in a foil burrito so that was a surprise! The fish was flavorful but otherwise they were pretty standard tacos.

    I came here when visiting dc for the first time! This was a good find, I ordered their three taco meal. One chicken, one pork, and one asada. I was planning to get all three asada but the up charge was per taco. That's a little insane. Have one up charge for the whole meal not each individual component. The service was fast and the tacos were good. The chicken was the best one in my opinion! The location wasn't far from the national monuments so it was a great stop. There is limited seating so be aware of that and it was quite warm in the upstairs area which was the only option as the patio was full. I'd come here again but I'd only get the chicken next time!

    Carnitas Taco
    Pam C.

    I'm from Dallas, home of the Tex Mex, and I'm usually wary of trying Mexican food from other states. District Taco was gig em good! I ordered a carnitas taco with rice, grilled corn, cilantro and jalapeños and a barbacoa taco with black beans and slaw mix. Both tacos were filled to the brim, I had to go downstairs and get a fork so I could finish all of the delicious toppings. The meat in both was tender and flavorful. The tortilla was soft and fresh. The overall meal was flavorful and fresh. This will be on a repeat for me when I return to DC!

    During the summer, I saw a massive line in front of District Taco, and I assumed that the food must be pretty good. Why? Because who is gonna wait forever and a day for a few tacos? However, I decided to pass on stopping by that day because I am not a fan of waiting 30+ minutes for food when I'm in a decently-sized metro area. Ok, cut to a cold/rainy Saturday in February. I saw that District Taco was pretty empty, so I figured why not give it it shot. Also, I needed a little time to figure out where I was going after my quick snack. The 3-5 kiosks made ordering a breeze. For my dining pleasure, I went with the three tacos for $11 deal and added a side of mini churros. I thought the price of the tacos were fine especially since you could load the tacos with up to nine different toppings. And boy did I load them up. While the deal was great, I was not too impressed by the tacos. For instance, the potatoes topping reminded me of the general, bland potatoes that are served in a hotel breakfast buffet. Also, the meat (chorizo and carnitas) did not really have much seasoning. Ok, the tacos were not bad, but I was expecting a little more umph. However, I assumed the food was going to be 'out of this world' amazing based on the line I saw outside of the restaurant a few months prior. The service was pretty fast, and the restaurant has a decent amount of seating in the dining area upstairs. Also, the restaurant was super clean...probably because there were no customers inside (again, it was a cold and rainy Saturday in Feb.). *A very minor annoyance* When I'm dining in a fast food joint, I kind of like to have my food on a tray, but here, everyone gets a take out bag. Perhaps, giving everyone a to-go bag makes life a bit easier for the staff so they do not have to constantly clean trays, which is fine. Like I said, this is more of a "me" thing, and it does not negatively reflect on the restaurant. Although my meal was not bad, I do not think that I would go out of my way to have tacos from District Taco. However, if I'm in the area and in starvation mode, it could be a decent option for a quick and cheap bite....depending on the amount of people in the line.

    Ordered two bowls it was good other than the chicken itself but I wouldn't recommend it, the serving size was terrible. Both of my bowls were half way full and when I called the lady couldn't really understand what I was saying.

    Small Chips & Queso

    This was a great and quick lunch during our DC trip. We didn't want to waste a lot of time but we needed a place that was good and that our kid would eat. This fit the bill. They have someone at the front but most people are ordering on the machines. The machines were very user-friendly and it was easy to create your own and/or modify dishes to fit your tastes. You can make your own tacos, burritos bowls, quesadillas, and kids meals. My son had the kids cheese quesadilla, which came with chips and a small side of rice and a milk. Of course we had to order a side of queso for him as well. The chips and queso were really good and definitely a highlight of me, you can make your own tacos, burritos bowls, quesadillas, and kids meals. My son had the kids cheese quesadilla, which came with chips and a small side of rice and a milk. Of course we had to order a side of queso for him as well. The chips and queso were really good and definitely a highlight of the meal for all of us. I wasn't terribly hungry so I too ordered a kids meal, but I got my quesadilla with Barbacoa and it was really good. I found the kids meal to be a substantial size and it came with a full size bottle of water, so it was a pretty good deal as well. My husband had the nachos. It was a very large serving. He had them with the Barbacoa and thought they were really good. The nachos were a little bit expensive, but it was a very generous portion. There is limited seating upstairs and outside. We timed it well that we didn't have to wait too long for our food and had no problems finding a seat.

    Got the Carnitas "mexican way" on flour tortilla is in the front, and carnitas "jefe way" is in the background. One taco had more carnutas in one, and smaller in the other. Wish the pork was more flavorful.

    Move over Chipotle meet District Taco! Bomb tacos with maybe the best habanero salsa ever. My mouth is on fire as I walk the sites of DC / but in such a wonderfully delicious way. Also love the fresh jalapeños and cilantro options to add.

    Jonathan H.

    Ingredients were very fresh and chicken was well cooked and quality. A good amount of food too. Plenty of upstairs seating and service was quick. Only thing a bit sad at that price point was no chips included. They had to be bought separate. This was a really solid option though!

The guacamole is terrific and they'll adjust the spice level to your liking, which is a small thing that goes a long way when you're feeding a whole office with different tolerances. The tacos are built on house-made masa tortillas and you can taste that they care. I did the Pollo à la Parrilla and the Chilito de Res. Both landed. The beef especially, slow-braised and seasoned like they meant it. This is a José Andrés restaurant, so you already know the room has energy. If you're in the District and haven't made this a regular stop, fix that.

You DO NOT get to choose what items you want from the ayce brunch menu, they bring every single dish out and they do it at a pace that you barely get a chance to enjoy anything. Every dish is loaded with fillers and barely any meat. Every dish has a similar flavor of chilli, lime and cilantro. I say this with the upmost respect to this restaurant, the only good thing about the brunch were the churros and they don't give you that until you're ready to leave. The chicken and waffles were almost good but the sauce on the chicken with the waffle just ruins it. The steak and eggs were ok and you only get a 1oz piece of steak. Birria tacos were just ok and the fish taco was ok. Everything else was not worth it. A lot of items went to waste. If we could've chose exactly what we wanted, it might have been better. This would also add to why the service did not start off well because our server gave us our first drink and left. After that, every item from the brunch menu were just getting dropped off by food runners. It became overwhelming. We didn't even have room on the table for all of that. Then we also had to ask for new plates because we did not want to mix the flavors of every dish. The drinks were also not good, I had margaritas for my drink of choice and they are so sour and filled with cheap tequila... respectfully for 70$ a person you're better off ordering à la carte. The restaurant is beautiful though, great for pictures and the food is colorful as well but the flavors are just not that good and you're ultimately paying for a bunch of food that you don't really even want nor enjoy. I really hope they adjust this because I heard it was 10x better in the past.

    We came here for dinner and made a reservation ahead of time to make sure we had a table, though it…read morelooked like they also offer walk-in bar seating. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, especially the dessert! We were visiting a friend who recommended this spot, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, but even with a full house, it was still easy to have a conversation at the table. Overall, a great dining experience and a place we'd happily return to.

    This place is a solid 3.5 stars but doesn't hit a 4 because the main dishes were underwhelming…read more We came here on a Monday night and it was pretty busy. They have good drink options which was nice for a group which all had different tastes. We started with appetizers, including the chicken empanadas, the tuna tacos, and ceviche sampler. The chicken empanadas were good, if not particularly memorable. But had a nice crunch on the shell and the inside had a nice savory flavor and not dry. The tuna tacos, which didn't have the most appetizing color, was also tasty. The tuna was tender and balanced well with the crispy shell. The ceviche sampler was also delicious, each one having a different flavor profile. I liked the tigre de leche the best in terms of the acidity and brightness. I just wish the ceviche had some kind of vessel to eat it with. One of the ceviche had plantain chips which was nice but I wanted more. Without it, the texture is just one note. For the main dishes, we got the lomo saltado and the aji de gallina which are two, iconic Peruvian dishes. Both were just meh. The aji was the better of the two. The sauce was flavored well with the creaminess of the sauce not overwhelming the garlic and tumeric flavors. But the rice was SUPER dry, almost crunchy. The lomo saltado was even worse. The beef was overly cooked, some pieces were very sinewy and chewy. It was also overly salty and the veggie to meat ratio heavily favored the veggies and made the dish feel cheap. Overall, it was fine but given the options for Peruvian in DC, not sure this deserves 4 stars+.
