I started researching fancy delivery options for an upcoming birthday, and all the listicles I’ve found about delivery during the pandemic are from last spring and summer.

In today’s ‘where’s the best available these days’ – obviously it’s time to talk Tacos and more. Readers are asking for: the best carry-out Mexican, tacos, tortillas and queso. And one that wasn’t specifically asked but that I’d like to know – best Margaritas?
Some initial recommendations: Judy Restaurant, “El Sol, Espita, and Oyamel are some of my favorites.”, “My fav right now is @anafre_dc.
