Thanks to a reader for the heads up. LZ Middle East Restaurant closed back in early Jan.. Pica Taco has a current location at 1629 Columbia Road NW. We looked at it back in June ’09. When I walked by there was still a bit of construction going on at the Florida Ave location.
Think the new spot will thrive given it’s somewhat tough location for a restaurant?
Hell yes. I will keep it in business all by myself.
Ditto Anonymous! I just tried the Columbia Road location this weekend and LOVED it. That’s saying something for a gal who’s from the land of taquerias — SoCal. I’m sooo soooooo excited! Any idea when it’s opening?
There was still construction going on inside so I’d say at least 2-3 more weeks.
Yipee. I walk by there all the time and think, how nice it would be if there was a place where people actually wanted to eat…
I didn’t dare to dream it could actually be tacos!!!!
Maybe I’m missing somehting. Where on Florida is this new spot opening?
It is just west of 14th Street, NW on the south side of the street.
I spoke with the owner’s nephew yesterday outside of the new location. He said that they were going to do a lot to address the problems that LZ had – namely being completely uninviting. He also said that they were hoping to be open in about a month.
