Taco City D.C. – Tacos deliciosos

As far as I'm concerned, "Taco City D.C." makes the best tacos I've had anywhere. The fact it's so close to my house is dangerous for my bank account...

About me

About me
I’m a native Washingtonian and have been in DC most of my life. I’m almost always on the go ―whether it’s at work as an emergency medical technician (EMT) or somewhere in the city even after I leave the hospital. In my free time, you’ll likely find me in one of three places: playing music, dancing, or playing sports. I like traveling, learning about good places to eat, and finding new music.

Why Washington DC
I love DC because it’s my hometown. But more than that, DC has the perfect mix of Northern and Southern culture. There really is something for everyone here. Do you want to visit a dozen free museums? Do you want to see a concert? Art? Sports events? Potentially run into a famous (or infamous) politician? You can do all of that (and more) here.

Where else can you find me online?
