Tacos Impala in January
Young and Hungry discusses the latest developments with Impala, the Mexican restaurant coming to 1358 H Street. Impala is the brainchild of Troy Hickman. Hickman partnered with Erik Bruner-Yang to create the temporary pop-up Tacos Impala this past fall in the Philadelphia Water Ice space. Hickman's no newcomer to the neighborhood. He's a partner in Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Hearts Club, and he's been involved in multiple build-outs along the Corridor.

Nice, those tacos were good.
I like that it is going to be permanent but I assume prices are going to be going up because they have to cover more rent for a sit-down establishment. Guess I liked the no-frills walk up with few choices in exchange for the nice price.
Mixed feelings.
Happy that Impala is going to reappear.
Bummed that Joe's Coal & Ice is shelved (I think a beef place on H would be great).
Unsurprised that JC&I is shelved, though -- there's been no news about it in years, it's seemed.
A liqour license could substantially help their rent woes, but yes, it would be a bummer to pay more for tacos. In any case, more viable and tasty local business is a good thing.
What is a beef restaurant? A steak house?
Re: prices. Are people really willing to pay more than $3 a taco? I don't think they could really charge that much more
Wasnt there also taco place going in on near 9th St that was to be opening a little sooner? Anybody got a status on that?
Anyway, two tacorias should help keep prices down
It's not like Tacos Impalas and PWI was cheap to begin with. What are they going to charge, $13 for three tacos? Please.
If the prices are too high, I'll just head a bit further down the street to Chipotle at 5th n K (5min bike ride)
where is a chipotle on 5th and K?
Anon 11:41- the chipotle will be opening soon at City Vista. beside Ace Hardware
