Bold Fork Books is a far more than a culinary bookstore - it’s a beloved local institution that uses food as a platform and vehicle to see the world. It’s a community space that offers unparalleled programming bringing together diverse voices to celebrate and examine food in its totality - culture, history, identity, politics, race - in a way that nowhere else in the city or greater DMV is doing and in this moment in history their work could not be more important. It’s an absolute gem and we love them dearly and that’s why we are very excited to partner with them tomorrow April 25th celebration of Independent Bookstore Day. Here’s how it works - go over there and buy something (they open at 10 am Saturday) and then show your receipt to our staff either tomorrow (4/25) OR Sunday (4/26) and we’ll hook you up with 10% off your order. They’ll also have a whole little crew of some of the most fire bites and sips around like but don’t fill up too much cuz otherwise you won’t have any room for those discounted tacos, you heard! Hasta mañana entonces ❤️

Our streatery has had a legendary run but it’s time to say goodbye. It has served as a valuable community space for years, but the city has decided a single car parking spot is more valuable to its coffers than thousands of citizens finding use in the space so we are going to remove by the end of the month before the city starts issuing fines in April. Join us this Sunday 3/29 as we light one final fire on the patio - Chef Justin Chang will be grilling a special menu of Yakitori over live fire outside from 6 pm - sellout and we’ll have some a limited menu of cocktails served up by resident muralist Nate Mann aka El Nachito and we’ll also have some cheap beers for sale to wash down the skewers. Come pour out a little liquor with us as we bid farewell to what has been a bustling streatery for many years. RIP nuestro patio querido 💔😭❤️‍🩹

Another winter storm in the forecast = another flash tortilla sale in the forecast. Tomorrow ONLY Sunday 2/22 isolated downpour of house made flour tortillas dropping on the 3200 block of Mount Pleasant Street starting at 7:30 am sharp. For some miraculous reason the American and European models are for once in perfect agreement on the probability of this storm. Last time we sold 140 dozen in three hours so we’ll have at least that many ready to go for tomorrow. Two dozen per person limit while supplies last!! Open today til 1 for regular service (tacos/coffee/horchata) - hasta pronto amigos 🫶💕

Yes, we cater! 😏 We have for a minute now we’ve just never announced it til now. Office catering for staff breakfasts, one year old birthday parties, day after wedding brunches, un poco de todo. We offer pick-ups at the shop (every order over 20 tacos is considered catering) every day we’re open (Wednesday-Sunday) as well as delivery on the weekdays we’re open (Weds-Fri) with a 75 taco minimum for delivery and a $35 delivery fee. Drop us an email [email protected] or use the catering inquiry link on our website to place your order and our team will take care of you 🧡 Morale low at work? Be an office hero, our tacos hold up extremely well for delivery.

THIS FRIDAY JANUARY 30TH 2026, Mount Pleasant’s main street small businesses are speaking out in a coordinated way to stand with solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, friends, family and community. This event will benefit and support AYUDA (), a nonprofit providing comprehensive, low-cost or free legal, social, and language services to low-income immigrants in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including many of the hospitality workers who make our neighborhood thrive. This event is in lieu of a participation in the national shutdown.
 
Each participating small business will be donating a portion of Friday’s sales to AYUDA.
 
✨ Speak out
✨ Shop with purpose
 
Mount Pleasant is more than a neighborhood. It’s a home fueled by diversity and sustained by immigrants and resilience. Many are feeling powerless in this moment, but this collaboration is a tangible way for our community to come together – neighbors, small business owners, immigrants, citizens – stronger together.

Open today! We got like 11 space heaters plugged in around the shop. Come walk over and see how messed up the intersections, streets and sidewalks still are around town. Do not drive your little 2012 Honda civic over the ice bank. Be careful and keep looking out for your neighbors!

Running back the clock and doing a flash tortilla sale tomorrow (Saturday) to get y’all right for the winter storm. This used to be our thing back in the day and we can’t do it very often because it’s hard to make enough! $12/dozen, two dozen max. Got about 100 packs to sell. One day only! See y’all tomorrow 🫶

Once upon a time when we used to load up la trokita every Saturday morning and head to Mount pleasant with as many breakfast tacos as we could make and sell until we sold out. That was the hustle from 2020-2022, popping up all over town with whoever would let us set up shop on their patio and allow us to spread the breakfast taco gospel. Mount Pleasant never disappointed, people kept showing up week in week out and after a while it became clear that we had to open up a shop there. Once we mustered up enough courage to sign on the brick and mortar in January of 2022, we did our last ever pop-up on the patio of Nido/Purple Patch - four years ago today! We are so grateful to still be kicking and spreading the breakfast taco gospel as we are now four years into the shop being open. Everything is different but everything is also the same. Swipe through for some unhinged pop up flyer content including the great PG county zebra escape of 2021. It’s Saturday morning y’all come through for some tacos and horchata we got y’all covered! Hasta pronto amigos 🫶

Thanks for all the memories in 2025, like the time a local artist vandalized the front door and made us look like this. Here’s to not taking ourselves too seriously in 2026!

People’s choice awards always take the cake over anything voted on by exclusively by critics, judges, or panels of insufferable muckety-mucks. Thank you readers for voting us your favorite tacos in the city. Nothing brings us more joy than knowing our tacos are equally enjoyed by everyone from the attorney general to the WMATA bus driver and everyone in between. Closed today through Friday then back open Saturday and Sunday. Hasta pronto amigos 🫶
