Taqueria Distrito Federal has been honored in the latest Cheap Eats issue of the Washingtonian magazine.  Taqueria Distrito Federal serves a wide variety of authentic Mexican food.  It has received rave reviews by the media and the community over the years and this recent Washingtonian honor just solidifies its rank among the best.

Here is what Washingtonian had to say:

A tiny joint like this Styrofoam-service taqueria in Columbia Heights isn’t going to be written about in many food magazines, but the cooking of Margarita Cruz and Luis Marroquin is both memorable and cheap. The $2 tacos are superb, filled with robustly spiced meats, including stewed goat bathed in a sweet and spicy guajillo-chili barbecue sauce; luscious, off-the-bone pork ribs; meltingly tender cubes of tongue; and a zesty chorizo.

There are excellent tortas, such as the Chicken Milanese, a crunchy breaded cutlet slathered with mayo and either avocado or cactus marinated in lemon and salt, and the al pastor—“a secret menu item,” says owner Marroquin. Shaved doner-kebab-style from a hulking round of pork and beef that’s been marinated in pineapple, onion, and jalapeño—the tradition began with Lebanese immigrants in Mexico City—the meat is topped with a sweet slice of pineapple. Wash it down with a glass of fresh tamarind juice.

Marroquin greets all comers with a welcome as warm and homey as the cooking itself.
