Food Washington

Taqueria Distrito Federal
1400 Otis Street NW, Washington, DC 20010

This taco joint is a breath of fresh air in a town condemned to eating imitation Tex-Mex and even worse Mexican. The tacos remind one of the flavors of another Capitol city, Mexico City. The flavor of the meat and tortillas are as authentic as you can get while sneaking under the radar of the Health inspector. The place is a genuine hole in the wall and features only the things that you would expect to find at a street vendor in Mexico. The menu doesn’t have any fancy Mexican dishes that you would expect to find at the imitation joints around town. We tried the tacos and enjoy ever second. While we’re on the authentic streak, I would recommend the beef tacos. One bite was enough to evoke memories of waiting to scalp tickets outside El Azteca and killing the time with some tacos from the street vendors. If you’re in the mood for something authentic that won’t kill your budget and at the same time support local business head over to Columbia Heights and check this place out.
