Sluggo Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Visiting philly, and saw a sign for a DT coming soon, on Market St near city hall. Checked their web site, it won’t be their first Pennsylvania location. A dc taco chain going national? Kudos to them, wishing them luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Boy Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 My company bought everyone lunch (it happens a lot) and District Taco was brought in. The meats and accoutrements were all good, but I was very underwhelmed by the tortillas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that either are homemade, at the restaurant you used to have to ask for corn, the default was flour, which I found a bit odd. I think their corn fall apart easily, but I only really like flour tortillas for fajitas or quesadillas. Their website says all their ingredients are made from scratch, but I would be surprised to find out their tortillas were not bought, they just don't taste like they are.

There is a whole new-ish mixed use development across from the Wegman's that is like a "Little D.C.". Within spitting distance from one another are District Taco, Founding Farmers and Compass Coffee.

The flour were ok, but the corn were not very good at all. Little flavor, fell apart immediately and reminded me of cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got it catered in my building and I just did a plate without tortillas and then grabbed a bag of chips and it was a make my own nacho/salad experience.

ktmoomau Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We had District Taco on the way home from a fundraising event that we just didn't have time to eat at. Luckily DT serves in Alexandria until 10 pm on Saturday night. I got fish tacos on corn tortillas and was quite happy- I added some hot salsa, and they had a good amount of spice. Their fish tacos are really one of my favorites, although there are a lot of menu items that I have never had. A lot of people seemed to have the burrito bowl, so I might need to try that sometime.

MarkS Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I tried the District Taco in Tysons and was not impressed. It was meh with the salsa being the highlight. Not in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
