District Taco, a beloved fast-casual Mexican restaurant known for its authentic Yucatán-inspired dishes, is marking its 15th anniversary in 2024. From its humble beginnings as a single food cart in Rosslyn, Virginia, District Taco has expanded into a regional favorite, serving communities across the Mid-Atlantic. This year has seen the brand continue its growth and celebrate significant milestones, including new store openings and prestigious awards.
District Taco’s expansion includes new locations in Norfolk, VA and Wayne, NJ, with further growth planned in New Jersey and Orlando, FL. These new openings are a testament to the brand’s popularity and dedication to bringing fresh, authentic flavors to new markets.
Co-founder and CEO Osiris Hoil recently took the District Taco team on a journey to the Yucatán, the birthplace of the restaurant’s signature flavors. This trip, documented in a newly released film, highlights the traditional techniques and ingredients that have defined District Taco since its inception.
In 2024, District Taco was honored as the Best Mexican Food in Virginia by LoveFood.com. Additionally, the brand was named Minority-Owned Business of the Year by the American Business Awards®, and Hoil was recognized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services with the Outstanding Americans by Choice award.
Looking ahead, District Taco is launching new offerings, including a multi-pack deal perfect for group gatherings and churro bites served with Ghirardelli chocolate dipping sauce, expanding its already popular menu of bold, Yucatán-inspired flavors.
