Taqueria Xochi

There’s nothing quite like a quesabirria from Taqueria Xochi after a night out on U Street (or any time of day really). The half-quesadilla, half-birria taco is the kind of genius idea you'd expect from a teenager experimenting in the kitchen at 3am. It's dripping with grease, oozing with cheese, and really f*cking delicious. The dish is the main attraction at the takeout only taqueria, both for people choosing to escape the U Street mayhem before 9pm and those willing to eagerly wait in the shop's half-a-block line on weekends until 1am. But that doesn't mean you should scroll past the juicy carne asada and loaded fries with queso, jalapeños, and sour cream as you're ordering on your phone.
