US Post Office and Tacos?






Last weekend we took our annual trip to the amazing city of Washington DC for the White House Easter Egg Roll.  We were fortunate enough to have my Mother in Law along with us so that my husband and I could have some alone time. 

On one of our last days we snuck out for a quick bite to eat.  We walked north on 14th St where our hotel the Hamilton was.  Wow!  We were so surprised to see how much that neighborhood had been revitalized in the last few years.  There are endless hipster restaurants, bars, and bake shops.  It was so hard to choose where we were gonna eat.  We made a stop at a cross walk and out of the corner of our eye we saw an old US Post Office that had been turned into a Taqueria. 

We were so curious we had to stop and boy are we glad we did.  The place is Taqueria Nacional.  Its located at 1409 T St NW.  Its just 2 blocks from the U St Metro Stop on the Green Line. Their tag line is "Authentic Mexican tacos made with carefully sourced ingredients, seasoned with love."  The decor is hip and the food is outstanding. 


Jamie had shrimp tacos with slaw and lamb tacos with pickled vegetables.  The lamb was so tender it melted in your mouth.  Yum!  I had the tostados which were equally fabulous and a fresh squeezed margarita. 

I highly recommend popping in this neighborhood joint.  The front is open with a courtyard out front.  You won't want to leave!
