Very pleasantly surprised. All veggie taco place. Tried almost all the tacos - favorites were mushroom and creamy kale and potato. Least favorite was eggplant - needs more flavor. The margaritas were strong and delicious! Place would be even better if they provided hot salsa, even just tapatío or yucateco on the table. Upstairs is like a home living room. Would recommend and go back.
Yes yes yes. The tacos are great here.
I had this place saved on my map for 2 weeks and have wanted to try. I walk past it almost every day.
Well, today I went inside after the lunch rush, about 3:30pm and no crowds, no lines… quickly ordered and received 3 tacos. Considering the flavors, ingredients and preparation, the cost was justified. As soon as I took my first bite, I knew this place will become a regular stop.
The tacos are vegetarian / vegan, but the flavors are authentic. I’m visiting DC from LA and I used to live in Mexico City. My taco palette is well seasoned and I think I found a go-to east coast fix for my taco addiction.
I got the braised mushroom, creamy kale & potato and the seasonal roasted butternut squash. Additionally, I asked for some spicier salsa. I love the heat and I’ll be asking for even more next time.
For sure drop in here… crowd or no crowd, it’s worth the visit.
beautifully presented tacos with fresh ingredients and interesting flavor combos. they are vegetarian, though, and i wish they did more to add protein other than black beans. or that they allowed for more customization.
limited seating so it can get crowded if you have a larger party.
I left DC a few years ago to move to CA. I came and visited DC recently and just had to go here as one of the food places I missed so very much. The kale potato tacos are so good. Be sure to put the arugula cream sauce on top! Felt good after I left because it is healthy food!
Fantaaaastic and delicious fast-casual vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food!!!
I got one mushroom taco and one sweet potato taco – sweet potato is definitely the best.
The girl who took our order was super friendly, and our food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Just be aware that there is very little seating inside so you’ll probably have to take it to go and eat outside.
Chaia is a Georgetown institution. I have been coming here for years and the quality and deliciousness have been consistent every time. Its the best spot to drop by for lunch, the creamy kale and potato taco is my favorite. They just added nachos to their menu which are honestly so incredible as well
It's always busy at this Chaia location. I must say, ordering and waiting are not pleasant in their tiny small space, but there is nothing that they can do about it. They are just that popular and their operation is very efficient.
I love the second floor. You may not get a seating, but once you do, it's very quiet in contrast to the first floor, and the space is beautiful-- just like an attic in a small farm house. Please be mindful not to stay there too long for other customers. If the weather is nice, they also recommend to sit at a little public space next door.
Per tacos, I would go for Braised Mushrooms with real cheese. I did like having other ones as a side, but I cannot skip having the mushroom taco as the main.
Delicious vegetarian tacos. Celebrated Vday at Chaia in Georgetown with my daughter who is vegetarian. I ordered the pick 3 tacos for $13- a potato and kale, the butternut squash and a sweet potato and feta tacos washed down with a margarita. I also tried the brussel sprout quesadilla. I would definitely go back again.
Very interesting but healthy and delicious. All vegan options but with so much flavors. So good! We had a variety of tacos and all were so good. I had to order seconds!
Staff was friendly and the girl behind the kitchen counter was very nice and helpful.
Holy!!! The best best tacos I have ever had. Great flavour explosion. They have done a great work in developing the recipes for vegan/vegetarian tacos. Their sauces are flavour intense. Can jazz up something normal easily.
