Dos Toros, the renowned San Francisco-inspired taqueria famous for its Mission-style burritos, is set to open its first D.C. taqueria in the heart of Chinatown at 700 7th Street NW. The grand opening is scheduled for Tuesday, December 5, at 11 am.
To celebrate the opening day, Dos Toros is hosting a guessing game where participants have a chance to win a grand prize of a $500 gift card by correctly guessing the number of burritos the brand rolled in the past year. Additionally, the first 50 customers in line on opening day will receive complimentary burritos along with swag, and there will be a spin-to-win prize wheel offering free guacamole, salsa, entrées, and more.
Co-founder Leo Kremer expressed excitement about opening the first location in Washington, D.C., stating, “Opening our first location in Washington, D.C., is a dream come true. We are excited to bring a piece of the Mission District with us to this dynamic and diverse community.”
Dos Toros, inspired by the Bay Area, offers a diverse menu featuring burritos, quesadillas, tacos, bowls, fresh salads, and plant-based items. The signature Mission-style burrito, known for being a cult favorite, is meticulously crafted with layers of ingredients, including melted monterey jack cheese, guacamole made with ripe Hass avocados, and made-from-scratch beans. Guests can choose from a variety of proteins, including braised pork shoulder carnitas, seared pollo asado, spiced chorizo, seared carne asada made with sirloin steak, and spiced sweet potatoes.
The menu also includes signature sauces like smoky, verde, habanero, creamy chipotle, and spicy avocado goddess, all made from scratch. Sides such as nachos, queso blanco, pico de gallo, corn salsa, and housemade corn tortilla chips complement the offerings.
Leading up to the Chinatown opening, Dos Toros has partnered with local nonprofit DC Central Kitchen for a community-driven event called “Rolling For a Reason.” This event, taking place on Monday, December 4, will donate 100% of sales to DC Central Kitchen to support the fight against childhood hunger in the District.
Dos Toros plans to open its second D.C. location in Dupont Circle at 1350 Connecticut Avenue NW in the coming weeks.
