Taqueria Nacional has continually been recognized for its high quality and authenticity. Bon Appetit magazine honored the restaurant in 2007, naming it one of the five best new Mexican restaurants in the United States. The Mexican Embassy added to that honor in 2009 with a medal of distinction for Taqueria Nacional’s faithful reproduction of classical Mexican flavors. Sourcing product from local farmers who practice organic and sustainable farming methods, Taqueria Nacional continues to produce authentic Mexican tacos. The tacos are made to order, served on fresh, corn tortillas, and priced affordably. In addition to the authentic Mexican tacos and aguas frescas for which the Taqueria is acclaimed, the new location also features locally brewed draft beers, spirited aguas frescas, and Fulchino’s much loved housemade margaritas. The restaurant’s design was influenced by Cashion’s and Fulchino’s desire to bring an aesthetic balance of Cuban and Mexican influences to the space. “Johnny and I are very excited to have a historic Washington DC landmark like the old T Street post office house our Taqueria, and we hope that it will be as well received on T Street as it was on Capitol Hill”, says Chef Cashion.VISIT TAQUERIA NACIONAL
