In 2007, James Beard award winning Chef Ann Cashion delivered a long overdue, authentic Mexican taqueria for DC diners. Lauded by Bon Appetit magazine, local 'foodies' and food critics, Taqueria Nacional quickly became a hot spot. Cashion's exacting cooking style & love for tradition comes through in every bite! Taqueria Nacional is located at both 1409 T Street N.W., along the 'Greater 14th St.' corridor, and at 3213 Mt. Pleasant St.in the heart of the historic Mt. Pleasant neighborhood.

At Taqueria Nacional we source our fresh dairy, produce, meat, and poultry from local farmers who practice organic and sustainable methods. We strive to provide our guests nutritionally wholesome, sustainable, and flavorful food, while supporting our regional economy and the environment. From the rich soils of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and South Carolina we salute the collaborative efforts of our hard working friends.
