From a press release:

“Chaia Tacos opens the doors to its second location in Washington, DC’s Mount Vernon Triangle on January 8. What was started by Co-founders Bettina Stern and Suzanne Simon as a pop-up stand at local farmers’ markets grew to its first brick and mortar shop in Georgetown; Chaia Tacos now brings its insanely delicious tacos made entirely with seasonal vegetables, homemade salsas and handmade tortillas to a new neighborhood with an expanded menu and house-made cocktails on tap.

Menu highlights include taco favorites like Chaia’s Creamy Kale and Potato with pepperjack, poblano crema, salsa verde, and pickled onion and Braised Mushroom with feta, salsa roja and cilantro, as well as rotating seasonal tacos, such as Roasted Butternut Squash with goat cheese, caramelized onions, chipotle yogurt, and mint, and Citrus-Roasted Beet with ricotta salata, cilantro-lime yogurt and jalapeño.

“Chaia, the elevated fast casual brand that brings farmers and street food together through vegetables, announces that it has signed the lease for its second location, slated to open later this year. Called one of the “50 Best Taco Joints in America” by Business Insider , Chaia’s new restaurant will open near Mount Vernon Triangle at 615 Eye Street NW.

Chaia launched in 2013 as a beloved “farm-to-taco” stand at DC area farmers’ markets, whose popularity led to the opening of its Georgetown shop in 2015. (more…)
