From a press release:

“Josh and Kelly Phillips and the Destination Unknown Restaurants team opened Espita in 2016 as an ode to their love for Mezcal and Oaxacan cuisine. Since opening, Espita has been a leader in Mezcal’s growing popularity on the East Coast and a Mexican staple for Washingtonians. When the group opened Taqueria Las Gemelas and Destino in Union Market District’s La Cosecha in 2021, they realized that their new concepts encompassed everything they loved about Espita and then some.
