District Taco is truly delicious. I am literally drooling after simply typing their name. So, so very good. I know what I’m having for lunch today. I’ll be grabbing a bite in Tenleytown at 4600 Wisconsin Ave, NW (photo above.) But you can find all their locations here. And if the lure of their deliciousness is not enough – do it simply to spite this jackwagon:

We last spoke about District Taco back in early August when they donated a portion of sales to help “purchase school supplies for underprivileged children”.

Again, you can also find them in Dupont at 1919 M Street, NW; Eastern Market at
656 Pennsylvania Ave, SE; Metro Center at 1309 F Street, NW; and Virginia locations here.


Jonathan reports:

“Congrats to Chef Brian’s Comfort Kitchen soft opening. Only letting ten people in at a time yesterday. Food was tasty and portions are massive. Staff was incredibly friendly and appreciative – they are working out the kinks and I think it will be a great lunch spot addition to the neighborhood when it opens.”

Thanks to Kim for confirming (from a worker on site) our Naf Naf Grill scuttlebutt. This is the former Protein Bar space (and Cosi before them) that closed back in March.

Naf Naf’s website says:

“Naf Naf Grill is the premium destination for fresh, authentic Middle Eastern food. Oven baked pitas, hand cut salads, and freshly prepared sauces all served as an accompaniment to award-winning shawarma and falafel.”

Check out their menu here. Stay tuned for an opening date as build out progresses.

They will be located across the street from the former Cafe Carvy and newly opened Chef Brian’s Comfort Kitchen:


1020 19th Street, NW just north of K Street



1401 K Street, NW (entrance on 14th Street in former Subway)

From a press release:

“District Taco is partnering with the National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) for Back to School Burritos! District Taco will be donating $1 from every regular Burrito and Breakfast Burrito sold on Monday, August 7th, 2017 to NCCF. The funds will be used to purchase school supplies for underprivileged children in the DC Metro area. (more…)
