She&#8217;s moved on but we keep in touch on Facebook. One day last year, while she was cleaning my teeth, she told me that her brother was about to open a <em>taqueria<\/em> on Douglas. We didn&#8217;t really have a restaurant specializing in tacos so I thought it would make an excellent addition to the collection of restaurants in downtown Wichita.<\/p>\n<p>If I remember correctly, opening was delayed a bit. Then I forgot all about the restaurant. And then it finally opened. But, as these things go, they&#8217;re always so busy during the first few months. Inevitably they&#8217;re understaffed and I end up with bad service and then the negative experience colors my impression of the place. I didn&#8217;t want that to happen so Brian and I decided to wait. And then we forgot all about it except for the occasional reminder each time someone we know mentions that they went. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been wanting to check the restaurant out since before it even opened but the opportunity never came up until Nykole suggested that we eat there after our <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=13417\" >team building activity at the Kansas Food Bank<\/a>. OMG. I&#8217;ve been seriously missing out. The tacos are unlike any other tacos I&#8217;ve ever had. The tacos at <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=13011\" >the Hill<\/a> come close but you have so much more selection at District Taqueria. If you&#8217;re craving tacos, District Taqueria is the place to go.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the various tacos we got to try.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/21793640033\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/737\/21793640033_7515ca5472.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22227941219\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/628\/22227941219_1c4ea2c1ce.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22388780846\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/747\/22388780846_3ba1bec3eb.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22226844240\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/661\/22226844240_b179f54842.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22388821366\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5660\/22388821366_0a8bc37817.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, all of the first timers tried a variety of tacos. They&#8217;re $3 each when you mix and match. I wish that I could have tried them all but there&#8217;s no way I could eat more than three in one sitting. I suppose this is how they keep you coming back. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22425599551\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/654\/22425599551_aef9c45b4d.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\"  height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nykole had been there before so she knew exactly what she wanted. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22226388320\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5795\/22226388320_d0a6a941db.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>You can also order a bucket of chips to eat with their salsa. You can also get a jar of their queso which is quite different than any other queso I&#8217;ve had. Their queso is thicker in consistency and has a bit of a kick. The guacamole was very good but it wasn&#8217;t really that different than the guacamole at other restaurants I&#8217;ve tried. I do like that everything is served in cute jars, including dessert.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/22228313859\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/681\/22228313859_7c3e8f525d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>We had the <em>tres leches<\/em>.

As far as food choices go, there&#8217;s really not much else which I think is smart because then the focus is on the wide variety of tacos offered. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I highly recommend District Taqueria. Brian and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and are ready to go back to sample more tacos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found out about this restaurant from my then hygienist at Wichita Family Dental, Rebecca.
