    It breaks my heart to write a 2-star review for District Taco, one of my favorite places to get a delicious taco and a great price. The location was busy, but the busyness is not my issue. I ordered my usual: three vegetarian tacos with all of the toppings. When I order that at the two downtown DC locations I normally frequent, the tacos are huge, filling, fresh, and oh-so-good! The experience here was none of that. The ingredients ratio was all off, and the tacos were about 1/3 filled as they are at the other locations. There were barely any beans, cheese, or sour cream, and the tacos were mostly cabbage slaw, which did not make for a very tasty meal. Also, the tortillas were stale and not a satisfying wrap. I was hungry and tempted to even order something else. $10 did not go very far here. I will stick to my downtown locations!

    I Blame myself I think district taco is only good for the people that were born here. I ate here before and said it was nasty, but decided to give them another chance. The flavors just aren't right for Mexican/latin food. I'm sorry I took one bite and spit everything on the floor.

    Came here out of someone's suggestion and ordered 3 tacos to try. Usually they lay out the tacos on a plate or basket. I did not see it coming when they wrapped it in a paper wrap. Food was pretty good, chips and queso was definitely worth the price. 3 tacos for $8/$9 depending what you get. Gotta pay to add a few other toppings. They do have a sauce bar but only have about 4 or 5 different sauces of different spices. I would come back, and it was pretty decent food, but I hate that we pay for parking, can't win them all I guess.

    I only blame myself. I think the regular burrito here is....not good. So why did i think the breakfast burrito would be okay? I didn't expect it to be smothered in some sort of sauce. Damn. DAMN! And i shouldn't have ordered it with veggies which i forgot means x x x green peppers and some onions. The cheese inside was not melted, there weee very few potatoes. In fact when I finally came upon one I got scared about what suddenly had the texture of a rock in my mouth, and spit it out. The tomatoes and lettuce on the side seemed like they had been in the coldest fridge ever. At 11:30 am i wanted to make a better choice for myself than nachos. But this was pretty much a waste of money. The gentleman at the register greeted me promptly. I just wish the food had flavor here.

    We've used DT in the past for catering and everyone enjoyed it. So when I had a strong craving for some tacos, I knew this was the place to go. Parking - As you know, parking in D.C. can be very hard and stressful. Luckily, someone was leaving as I was coming in. Be prepared, especially during lunch time. Now, the prices aren't the best. 3 small tacos for $9? Crazy. Back home, I get 6/$5, but hey...it's D.C., right? I went with the 2 steaks and 1 chicken but ended up with 2 chicken and 1 steak which turned out great. The chicken tacos were amazing. Full of flavor. The steak tacos were pretty bland, but the Verde sauce came to the rescue. The tacos are small and it wasn't filling for me, but it was definitely delicious. Does it compare to your wholesome tacos stands in FL, TX, CA? No. But it gets the job done. I will be returning!

    Great prices and great food! Service was superb. Food was made to order. Various different toppings for your food. Recommendations that were presented to me and my family were amazing. If you are in the area I recommend that you try this establishment out! Not pictured are the chips and queso and they were phenomenal!

    Mestizo or Colorado, what's it going to be?

    This is a great place to get a burrito, nachos, quesadilla, etc. I like the self serve condiments and generic soda selection. If you're going plan on ordering chips and queso, they don't come free but you can take it home and reheat for a snack later.

    Chicken or beef quesadilla is a perfect lunch event. Go to Reno park to eat it and chill.

    Not what it used to be: no tacos al pastor, Boylans soda or the salsa bar. They don't seem to care anymore.

    Food is decent…read more Highly recommend the 3 Tamales, Robertos plate, and the Fajita dishes. Service is decent depending on the days. If it's busy, you may be waiting for a long time without a lot of support. But out of the restaurants by the lake at Rio this one has the best ambiance. Outdoor dining is great during good weather. Drinks are on point. Greatly recommended!!

    They had a really good Carne Asada that I am still thinking about weeks later. I came here on a…read morerandom weekday night for dinner to dodge the traffic, and loved that I could just walk in and sit down. Without a reservation. I really liked the chips and salsa that they give for the table. The chips were warm. The salsa was unique and flavorful, and it got refilled after I finished the first batch, and was brought another round, which was great. Must've been hungry. I also got the free guacamole for getting the app and that was a good addition to the spread, but the star was definitely the Carne Asada. It was just cooked really well. The flavor was amazing and I totally would go back to just get that again and the chips. The waitress was good. The ambiance is quite nice actually. And you can pick where you wanna sit and the degree of lighting. There were areas where it was better lit, and then there were areas that were more dimly lit and something in between. People seem to just be having a good time without much fuss. Bathrooms were clean. Parking isn't the easiest, street parking or find a garage, but it's also not too far from the Bethesda metro station. Hoping to come back, not too far in the near future!

Our bill was $160 for fries, salmon tiraditos, steak frites (42), seafood coconut rice, lemonade (5, maker have forgotten to mix in sugar so we just had lemon juice?), and the 7 reasons old fashioned (19). My steak was actually pretty good. The seafood coconut rice however was undercooked, we didn't get our dishes until almost an hour after ordering so maybe they had kitchen issues. It took so long we just ate the raw rice with seafood because we ain't waiting another hour. The seafood was very good. The regular old fashioned is better than the 7 reasons old fashioned. Imo they need to get block ice, this is made with regular cubes which melts very fast and gets watery. Best dish for me was the steak, it was very nicely seared. Not very busy on a Saturday night, very nice classy date vibes indoors. Our group sat on the patio, total bill was around 750 for 7 adults 3 toddlers.

I liked Seven Reasons (at its original location) so I decided to check this out with my husband on a Saturday night. Reservations were easy to get. The place itself is fine in terms of decor. Not high end but not bad. The women's restroom has two stalls that don't indicate whether someone is in there and they're heavy doors, which makes for a potentially awkward experience with you knocking and trying to ram down the door, just to find out no one is in there. But I digress... The food is sh*t, plain and simple. The ceviche is more like raw poke that's unseasoned. The prawns taste like they were sauced in baby food. What I thought would be the hero - the branzino- had weird and misplaced (in terms of taste) dollops of sweet pineapple, it was underseasoned (honestly, unseasoned), and there was a bed of greens (salad mix and herbs, many of which were wilted) on the side. Let me be clear: the food wasn't mediocre; it was bad. Highway robbery. A disgrace. An abomination. Even the drinks were bad. Their take on a gin and tonic is akin to spraying perfume in your mouth and then chasing it with flowers. One of the hosts tried to sell us on a bottle of white wine from Uruguay. We asked to try it and it was worse than 5 buck chuck from Trader Joe's. We passed. And service at other restaurants in the area is better, so I can't even give them high marks for that. One and done. Enjoy other people's money to keep this joke afloat.
