Taqueria Capital is on P street in Dupont, below ChiKo. This small Mexican restaurant is from the same entrepreneur (Elias Hengst) as the Emissary cafes (one of which is across the street).
Assorted Tacos. 
Chorizo Quesadilla. 
What’s Left of Some Birria Tacos.
Their happy hour is Monday to Saturday 4 to 7pm with $6 beers and $7 glasses of house wine. It’s nice to find a restaurant with a Saturday happy hour.
My dining partner ordered a mescal margarita, which I was assured was quite good, and a tasty Chorizo Quesadilla. I ordered three tacos, with my favorites being the Salmon and the Carne Asada. My Chicken Tinga taco may have been a little over cooked. We enjoyed the the guacamole, which tasted freshly made. The Birria Taco image is actually from the waitress’ dinner. I’ll definitely be going back soon to try the Birria Tacos.
They even serve breakfast and brunch, coffee, tea, and house-brewed chai. I know, all you needed to hear was “brunch.” (It’s a DC thing.) Take a look at their full menu.
This is a restaurant that makes everything fresh (including the tortillas) from organic ingredients, and the food is quite tasty. Plus, the service was great, with the waitress and bartender both being friendly (chatty even). They even have some outdoor seating.
