    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 .

    I 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.

    3 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.

    Queso 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.

    Carne and pollo tacos are great. Al pastor (pork) = not impressed at all. I love pork but could barely taste any in the taco

    Pollo tacos are great! Cilantro, lime & cucumbers make it quasi healthy. Guac was good, too.

    Perhaps the best tacos in DC. Bonus: slightly off the beaten path!

    The 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.

    Don'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!)

    Al Pastor tacos taste more like carnitas, they're not really good. Other tacos are just fine. Believe me, I'm Mexican.

    The salsa habanero was very spicy and worth trying if you like spicy food.

    Starting September 1st 2012, tacos will have to be ordered in orders of three. Tacos must be the same style.

    Looks will deceive! The tacos may look delicious but they don't live up to expectation!

    The Mixto Taco (Carne Asada/Chorizo) with the habanero salsa is a winner!

    they 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

    Why should one leave home to be served Costco tortilla chips?
  • Anna J.
    Anna JohnSeptember 25, 2012
    They 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).

    Buenos 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.

    Tacos con carne + jarritos + unvision = muy bien.
