From a press release:
“The team behind Capo Italian Deli (715 Florida Ave NW) is bringing D.C. authentic Mexican street tacos via their new late night eatery, Los Cinco Tacos (711 Florida Ave NW). The program is spearheaded by Jose Candelero, who has been our Director of Kitchen Operations for six years.

The menu consists of four permanent tacos, with a rotating “Especial de la Semana,” (taco of the week). The tacos are available on site ($4) where patrons can either take them to go or dine at the counter, or for delivery via Uber Eats ($5). The menu also includes chips and house-made guacamole ($4.25) as well as a variety of Mexican soft drinks. Los Cinco Tacos is open Thursday – Sunday.
