“Brookfield Properties, a leading global developer and operator of high-quality real estate assets, today announced that local favorite Taqueria Xochi will open its third Washington, D.C. location at The Yards. The authentic Mexican restaurant will occupy 2,522 SF at 300 Tingey St SE at the Boilermaker Shops.

From authentic street-style tacos to delicious margaritas and indulgent desserts, Taqueria Xochi tells a story of Mexican culinary heritage and passion in every bite and brings a new, Mexican culinary experience to The Yards. They are slated to open their doors this summer.

“Taqueria Xochi is the perfect new addition to our growing neighborhood and joins a list of exciting new retailers opening their doors at The Yards this year,” said Bobby Swennes, Executive Vice President and Head of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Region, Brookfield Properties. “Bringing a range of restaurants and retailers that the Capitol Riverfront and its visitors will be excited about is part of creating a truly mixed-use community, and we’re proud to welcome another local favorite to the neighborhood.”
