Tacos on a Blustery Day

I was once again down at the Florida Market with friends, and decided to grab a couple of tacos. I'll briefly rehash the details for those who missed it the first time. There's a new stand among the food spots set up in the middle of the Saturday/Sunday flea market. They sell two types of tacos: beef, and lengua (tongue). Both are tasty and you can get them with cilantro, onions, a tomatillo sauce, and cucumbers and radishes on the side. Tacos are $2 each, and sodas are $1. So for $4-5 you can totally fill up. The tent is white, and you'll see a cooking cart that says "Tacos de Res."

For those planning to run down to H Street today it sounds (based on some tweets from HStreetDC) like the United House of Prayer for All People is having a fish fry. That's in the 1300 block of H Street.

I'm just saying. They are really good. I know Poo is not a huge fan of the market, but maybe he likes tacos?

The best tacos are always sold on the street or from small stands.

Also, the House of Prayer has a small cafeteria downstairs and last time I checked they were open most weekends. Every time I have been there have been one or two cops down there eating. They serve soul food similar to the location on M Street although it's not nearly as big.

No fish fry. They had a choice of 1/4 Fried Chicken or Meatloaf, that came with 2 sides: collards, mac/cheese, green beans, sweet potatoes. For $5. Bargain!
I had the chicken. Tasted like down home. Lightly floured, not battered, and crisp as a potato chip.
Great collards and mac/cheese like my grandmother made.
Is this fancy food. Noooo. It's like your Mom or Grandma cooked back in the day.

They serve every Saturday and Sunday from Noon (maybe 11?) until 5 PM.
Hard to beat for $5. Nice people too.

inked, i DO like tacos. a lot. the market? not so much. at all.

but yeah. who doesn't like tacos? that's what scares me. if too many people LOVE tacos, that particular demand might create a giant TACO MARKET, in lieu of what we have there now!

in that scenario, i'd like to keep litteri's around .... with new hours, of course.

but yeah, substitute "tacos" for the "noodles" in marijuana wolf's song by the same name, and .....yeah.......
