The Story of District Taco

District Taco began in 2009 as a food truck. It was started by two friends, Osiris Hoil and Marc Wallace, in Rosslyn, Virginia. At that time, Osiris Hoil had lost his construction job. His neighbor, Marc Wallace, suggested that Osiris start a business selling tacos.
Osiris used his mother's special recipes to make the tacos. Together, they created District Taco. In November 2010, they opened their first actual restaurant in North Arlington. Their food became very popular, which helped them open more restaurants.
Today, District Taco has 17 restaurants. Four of these are franchises, which means other people own and run them using the District Taco name and recipes. The company has also expanded to new areas like New Jersey and southern Virginia.
What's on the Menu?
District Taco serves food inspired by the Yucatán region of Mexico. This is where Osiris Hoil's family is from. He uses his family's recipes, focusing on the fresh and unique flavors of Yucatán.
The menu at District Taco is very flexible. You can choose exactly what you want in your meal. They offer many items like tacos, burritos, and bowls. Osiris Hoil remembers his mother always saying how important fresh ingredients are. District Taco follows this idea by using fresh ingredients in their food. They also prepare their recipes in the restaurant using traditional cooking methods. This helps keep the food tasting authentic and delicious.
