“Bodega Taqueria y Tequila will open in Foggy Bottom January 24”

From a press release:

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila, a unique fast-casual taqueria that has established a reputation in Miami for Mexican street food-inspired fare and high-energy nightlife tucked away in a speakeasy-style lounge, lands in Washington on January 24 with its first DC location, a 3,800-square-foot outpost centrally located in Foggy Bottom. With a reconfigured Airstream slinging authentic and novel Mexican favorites, a secret passage (through an industrial kitchen door!) to a vibrant speakeasy that pulses with late-night DJ sets, expertly crafted cocktails, plus an enviable list of premium tequilas, Bodega will bring just the right vibes to this nightlife-starved neighborhood.
