Tacos El Chilango Opening August 5th at 12th and V St, NW
1119 V Street, NW
We first heard some scuttlebutt back in April of a taco place coming to the former Italiano Cafe at 1119 V St, NW. And in June we learned that the taco place would be Tacos El Chilango. I ran into the owner last night and I’m happy to share the news that they will be opening August 5th!

Wow. That's horrible. I cannot believe the audacity of some people. Did she not thin you...
Here’s to hoping they fare better than any of the other businesses that have come & gone in that building over the past couple years!
That has always been a weird place for a business. It’s a row house on a residential block. The various incarnations of coffee shop/Ethiopian/Italian food have been sad little establishments that felt like some immigrant serving me out of their house. That model is charming, but not much of a platform for a sustainable business. I’m not sure why this one will be different. Why not just convert it back to a residence and sell it for $700K?
This block is zoned commercial.
The Chilango truck in VA is so good! I am so excited about these tacos coming to DC
I think the others have failed mostly because they brought nothing new to the table. Yes, the location is very slightly tucked away, but if a place opens where the food is good and not otherwise easy to come by in the neighborhood, I think it could be very successful. And it sounds like this place might fit that bill.
