District Taco 10 years ago was amazing. I moved away and back and now it sucks :-(

They fucked up when they got rid of the al pastor. I will literally never forgive them for getting rid of it.

I haven't been back to DT after I learned they stopped making/providing their tomatillo sauce. I don't what happened but you summed it up, District Taco sucks now.

A new one opened up near me recently, and I was so excited to check it out—definitely didn’t live up to my expectations based on fond memories years ago!

I’m not even sure if it was all that good ten years ago but DC tacos used to really suck.

District Taco when I was a broke intern 10 years ago was an amazing find. When a DT opened up right next to my apartment after Covid, I was disturbed by how terrible it is now. Or was it always terrible, and brokeness was the best seasoning?

Their prices have increased almost 50% since before COVID. Food isn’t as good and portions are measly. They are so stingy with condiments!

All to for the sake of investors and an egomaniacal expansion plan “I feel that District Taco can be 1,000 [or] 2,000 restaurants in the next 15, 20 years,” says Hoil (part owner). They are now working on franchising.

I would boycott them altogether if not for my husband, who loves their burritos. He’s got 3 of them in the fridge now.
