Ordered delivery, wow the tacos were sooo good! The consume was very rich in flavor, the tacos were cheesy and packed full of meat. Definitely feel like they were worth the price! Can’t wait to order again and I definitely recommend for others to try!

Birra tacos were delicious! This was on my list for DC, and since I was in the area, I had to hit them up. I was really happy to see they opened a restaurant since I've seen so many reviews during the pandemic. I tried all the birria tacos and they were really delicious....but the guacamole..Bangerang! They don't have any seating but there are plenty of parks around to post up and enjoy.

My god these tacos are amazing and the Birria tacos that you dip in a gravy/juice are to die for! They are juicy, full of flavor, not too salty, and stuffed. These tacos are an ultimate stop in DC to satisfy those taste buds!!!

Taqueria Xochi is hands down the best Mexican in the city, and perhaps the best new restaurant of 2020 (S/O Menya Hosaki). The tacos are unrivaled, the birria is so unique and wonderful, the chips and guac so fresh. Chicken cemita mangonada is my favorite meal in Washington at any price point. I've been eating Dona Tere's food since the Little Beast pop-up and while I miss having it in Upper NW, it is still well-worth the trip! But that is not why I'm writing now. I am here with a PSA. Whatever you decide to order, add 10-15 fresh tortillas and several 2 oz. containers of the salsas verde y morita. Xochi's handmade tortillas are the most authentic I've had north of the border and their salsas are delicious. Just add egg bacon the next day for the best breakfast tacos around!

So good! I had the tacos de tinga (shredded chicken tacos), esquites (Mexican street corn), tres leches (3 milk soaked cake), and jamaica agua fresca. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend Taqueria Xochi!

Magical. Came here because the other taco place across the street was closed. Didn’t check reviews. First time eating a mulita. Order guacamole. 3 tacos. Best we’ve ever had. Will come back again and again. Worth every penny. Came on a Monday night.
