Welcome to
El Tiempo Taqueria
Over 50 years ago, Tommy and Ninfa Laurenzo made a promise to treat every guest like family. We brought that same love to our neighborhood in 2004 with El Tiempo Taqueria. From our scratch-made pan dulce to our daily specials– we’re a family tradition, serving authentic flavors and warm hospitality every single day.

Our El Tiempo Taqueria story started back in 2004 alongside the opening of our El Tiempo Cantina Washington location. We took over the space from the Matamoros Carnicería, an establishment that had been in the area for two decades. Since then, the Taqueria has become a beloved local staple.
Freshness You Can Trust
From vibrant peppers to perfectly ripe avocados, our produce is hand-selected daily. We bring the best of the farm to our shelves so your home-cooked meals are always bursting with flavor.
