"Zen Taco wins despite entering a market with a Mexican-Asian stronghold in widely popular TaKorean. Here's why: 1) Concept: They take two food genres (Mexican and Asian) that people love and weaved them into a single fast casual restaurant. It's a taco or bowl concept that walks you down the line picking favorites from both worlds. They have carnitas, chicken, brisket and then they have Asian slaw and siracha mayo. 2) Location: It's downtown DC catering to the workforce, BUT unlike many other downtown restaurants, it closes late making it a great spot for dinner. 3) Ambiance: There's plenty of seats and interesting decorations. 4) Food: My Monday night dinner buddy ordered the brisket bowl. He has a high standard for food and said based on the brisket alone, he'd give it a five star rating. I made my own Asian buns and I think I went wrong bu putting too much sauce on it (the Korean BBQ is a little too intense). The toppings was my doing, but I will say the Asian buns were dry and didn't hold the toppings well. I wouldn't order it again. 5) Price: You get a lot of food for a cheaper than normal price in a city like DC. My Asian buns were $11 and the brisket bowl was $9. Working so close to Zen Taco, I'd go back for sure!"

A good addition to the fast and casual restaurant choices. Menu is mix of Asian flavors with Mexican taco choices. I had a pork rice bowl which was very good. Next time I will give the bun tacos.

Overall, it was a good dining experience with speedy service. The tofu was served cold, which was a bit disappointing. However, the seating area was very nice, and the prices are reasonable for the area.

This place has the tastiest choices of ingredients to choose from. I love their selection if food. I usually get their bowl. can't compare to chipotle because its 2 different ethnicities of food but chipotle chips are 10000% better. Visualizza piatti

The meat and sauces are really delicious. You can choose from their suggested options or create your own tacos and bowls. I was very pleased with the tuna pot shell and the taco chino. I would have given them five stars, but since they just opened, they still have a few issues to iron out, including a mistake with part of my order. However, I definitely plan to return.

If you prefer not to create your own dish, there’s a selection of pre-set options available as well. When it comes to flavors and toppings, they offer an intriguing blend of Mexican and Asian ingredients. While I mainly chose toppings from the Mexican side, I added some crunchy Asian noodles, which worked surprisingly well. The service was commendable too. The staff member behind the counter clearly called out the different components, making it easy for me to pick what I wanted. Overall, it was a delightful experience!

"I typically always forget to write google reviews but this place deserves every word I have to say. I found this spot because the luggage storage app, bounce, sent me here to hold my bags while I toured apartments for the day. Before I left my bags, I decided to try a quiche which was so much better than expected. Growing up in my father's deli, I tend to have high standards for most food because I can usually recognize good ingredients so safe to say I was definitely pleasantly surprised with my quiche. Around mid-day I fell walking around in NoMa and severely hurt my knee. Rather than continuing my tours for the day I decided to come back to pick up my bags and potentially go to the airport to arrive early for my flight. When I got to Old City Market and Oven, they actually gave me ice for my knee and let me sit downstairs uninterrupted. While I was downstairs the cashier told me to call the number in case I needed anything so they can come down and help because they didn't want me walking up the stairs for anything stupid. To say they were sweet was understatement, the level of care I received felt like I was in one of my dad's restuarants growing up which in my opinion is not something you see these days. I decided to have a pizza while I waited because another customer said it was amazing. Even though I was skeptical due to the paper menu, they really did their big one with that pear pizza. This spot really made my day and it makes me happy establishments at this tier still exist."

"For a special occasion, make a reservation at Michelin star Reverie, a small restaurant inside a Georgetown alley. If you 're lucky, you 'll meet Poppy the Alley Cat that is taken care of by the community, including by the staff at Reverie. My wife dined at Reverie on a Thursday evening. Here 's our experience. 1) Experience: It 's a Michelin star restaurant so expect superb service. It 's clear that the chef is passionate about his craft and his passion is contagious. Every staff member from our server to the chefs who brought out our food, everyone was knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Throughout the stay, we were given wet towels to wash our hands in between snacks. Our water glasses were kept full. If we really loved a dish, our server would point out elements or teach us tips on how to use similar flavors at home. The journey begins with savory snacks and ends with sweet ones. Since the menu changes often, a copy of your dinner 's meu is given to you to take home at the end. It 's a perfect memento, especially if you 're celebrating something special. 2) Food: Reverie 's menu changes, but whatever you 're served will be innovative, fresh, and full of flavor. It 's also a tasting menu. When we went in May 2025, the menu included 17 different bites/dishes. The meal starts and ends with three small bites. The next nine dishes mainly included seafood and one was elk. Every dish is presented on a design-forward plate and came in full color and plated perfectly. A sign of a good restaurant is perfection in every dish and there wasn 't a bad one. We thoroughly enjoyed every single one, but our favorites were the Scallop, which comes in a fun sunchoke cracker sandwich, Hiramasa with juniper and caviar, and the Carolina Gold Rice. 3) Drink: Reverie 's drink menu comes with cocktails named after neighborhoods from around the world, wine, and other options. The Golden Gai is now my wife 's favorite Old Fashioned. She ordered two. For a sweeter refreshing cocktail, get the Old San Juan. For a refreshing, but sherry-forward cocktail, I recommend the Roma Notre. The dinner begins with chilled tea for all and it is very tasty. Savor it. At the end, you 'll have an opportunity to order more tea. Each blend is unique. I recommend any of it. 4) Price: It 's $245 a person for the tasting menu and additional prices for drinks, but for a quality dinner experience, it could be more expensive. We found it to be a fair price, especially for a special occasion. 5) Space: It 's beautiful! The design is not ornate, but rather simple, making it classy. There are two unisex restrooms in the back. When you sit down, you 're offered small stools to place your phones, belongings, etc. 6) Neighborhood: Inside an alley, there 's much to explore nearby from other top restaurants, cafes, and historic homes. We usually find street parking nearby by the Georgetown Waterfront Park. Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
