La Tejana

Just okay. I waited in line because I’ve had this place saved for a long time and a friend recommended I go here. Got 6 tacos and they all kind of tasted the same, lacking real flavor or spice. The avocado tomatillo salsa was good but I was disappointed in everything else. Also the tacos were not distinguishable from the wrapping which is slightly annoying since I got different tacos for different people. Ordered the cafe de olla which was good! The dirty horchata didn’t offer much to be desired.

We got married during a once-in-a-decade DC snow storm, and the La Tejana team were absolute heroes in making sure that the intrepid guests (most of who were out-of-towners whose flights were canceled) who made the trek to our Sunday brunch were well-fed by Mt. P’s finest. Gus and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were able to feed folks, even though the store itself was closed. We always knew we were #blessed to have La Tejana in our community, but this was exceptional, and we cannot recommend it enough. Obviously the food is fantastic, but the service and care they have for their clients and neighbors makes this just the best place. They truly live their values. Our youngest niece (who lives in the UK) is now approximately 10% taco by bodyweight thanks to La Tejana.

We tried their breakfast tacos and their drinks in the upstairs section. The drinks were very pretty but just ok, but their breakfast tacos are to die for. Their homemade tortillas paired with all of the different selections they have available for fillings make these a must have if you’re in the area and want a great breakfast.

Best breakfast taco in the DMV and crave those handmade tortillas. I sneak in on a weekday morning to avoid the weekend lines. Great selection. I love the one with chorizo but all are great! Staff so friendly!

What better way of spending a Saturday afternoon than getting access to the number one breakfast burrito spot in DC. I’ve heard about La Tejana through different networks on social media. We got there around 11:30am and waited about 45 minutes until we placed our order. The order came out relatively quick, which was nice. It’s a cool little spot and a neighborhood gem. They are open from 7:30 AM to 1 PM and then they open again at 5 PM. They have a very friendly staff and the quality of their food is top tier. My friend and I sat upstairs, which had plenty of seating. I ended up getting four tacos and it was the perfect amount of food for me. My favorite was the 512. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they do pick up orders. The restaurant has been open for about two years now and every weekend the line is out the door as you can see in the images. Looking forward to getting a chance to go back it’s probably less busier early in the morning.
