What was once a food cart is now a restaurant. Not quite as fast as Chipotle, not quite as slow as a sit-down meal, District Taco delivers.
I've tried most of the meats, but my favorite is the Al Pastor -- spit roasted pork, carved like gyro meat, served with pineapple. If you feel indulgent -- and I usually do -- top it with pinto beans and chorizo. I also usually get the corn tortillas (though you have to order them by name).

Song Que (Falls Church, VA)
Grilled pork banh mi. Check. Taro bubble tea. Check.
Better bread than the other banh mi shops in the area, paired with an excellent blend of the pickled goodness and jalapenos. The meat isn't as flavorful as other shops, but it's the pickled crunch (with a kick of heat) that keeps me coming back for more.
The Vietnamese pate is also good, although you know you're eating liver (if that matters to you).
The highlight (for me) is the taro bubble tea. No one else I know likes bubble tea. Maybe its the texture of the tapioca pearls. But the taro milk tea is for real. Do it. Thank me later.
