Pica Taco Coming to Old LZ Restaurant Space on Fla. Ave

Thanks to a reader for the heads up. LZ Middle East Restaurant closed back in early Jan.. Pica Taco has a current location at 1629 Columbia Road NW. We looked at it back in June ’09. When I walked by there was still a bit of construction going on at the Florida Ave location.
Think the new spot will thrive given it’s somewhat tough location for a restaurant?

Ditto Anonymous! I just tried the Columbia Road location this weekend and LOVED it. That’s saying something for a gal who’s from the land of taquerias — SoCal. I’m sooo soooooo excited! Any idea when it’s opening?

There was still construction going on inside so I’d say at least 2-3 more weeks.

Yipee. I walk by there all the time and think, how nice it would be if there was a place where people actually wanted to eat…
I didn’t dare to dream it could actually be tacos!!!!

It is just west of 14th Street, NW on the south side of the street.

I spoke with the owner’s nephew yesterday outside of the new location. He said that they were going to do a lot to address the problems that LZ had – namely being completely uninviting. He also said that they were hoping to be open in about a month.
