Tacos and Burritos and Quesadillas - oh my! Most Mexican restaurant menus frighten Dorothy and me because we are both watching our girlish figures, tight wallets and ruby slippers. But have no fear, Taqueria is here! Located just North of downtown Columbia Heights, this is your stop along the Yellow Brick Road for healthy and cost efficient Mexican food.
The average American should consume .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight everyday and what better way than with their fantastic fish tacos! Grilled tilapia with a kick of jalapeño covered with fresh veggies, lime, and wrapped in a thin corn tortilla…my favorite.
Most Mexican restaurants can’t control the cheese and oil. Fat isn’t all bad, actually up to 30% of your daily calories can from there, but choose healthier sources amigos! Taqueria has you covered – their meals are only dusted with cheese, use little oil for cooking and you get healthy fats from meal accompanying avocados!
I recommend opting for their Spinach tortilla for a banging burrito, trading the chips for the ensalada verde to cut the carbs, and sip a splash of Jamaica juice rather than a sugary soda. Also don’t leave without trying their grilled cactus, as a side or on top of your protein. This is my prickly pick to add some green to the usual yellow and brown Mexican meal.
Taqueria Distrito Federal boasts a clean and comfy environment, variety of vegetarian options, perfectly sized-portions, all natural ingredients, five homemade sauces, 11 different proteins and meals under $10. It’s time to sit down, take out, or have your authentic healthy Mexican experience delivered today!
