“All vegetarian and/or vegan tacos and gluten-free for my wife... I can say that I was skeptical about this place for sure. However, the tacos won me over. The three taco deal is almost too much good food and between my wife and I, we tried all the tacos on the menu. Everyone probably raves about the creamy kale and potato taco, and it was certainly good, but the Moroccan carrot taco was the closest winner for us. I would rank the next three after the carrot as the kale-potato, the garlic greens (lots of collards in this one and very good!), then the mushroom one. Got a coffee, too, and it was pretty good as they brew Vigilante there. Definitely didn't hurt that it was beautiful fall day today, so we ate outside by the river rather than staying in the very small restaurant itself. Price was eleven bucks for three tacos, but I'd've been happy with two. Three would be good if you're hungry, but for a regular meal, two was plenty. Def check this place out.UPDATE APRIL 2024:Tacos are still excellent, though the veganism is no longer mandatory, so there are more options. The carrot one I loved before was not available, but that could just be for today as I'm sure the menu changes seasonally, if not more frequently. This time I had the usual kale/potato, a mushroom taco, and the cabbage taco. The kale potato was the clear winner this time, primarily because the salsa on it is so good. The mushroom was next best and finally the cabbage. I think the cabbage just needed a bit of texture. It was just some green cabbage that was braised, so believe the addition of some crunchy, raw red cabbage would have put it over the top, but to each their own. Still an excellent vegetarian/vegan lunch and with reasonable prices given the locale, so still worth a visit.“

“SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful in answering our questions and providing recommendations from the menu based on our preferences. Very professional and she was always around when we needed anything.FOOD: If you like chicken nachos you should try these. They put the right amount of cheese, chicken, jalapenos, guac, every ingredient pairs perfectly. I had the chicken enchilada and my husband the chicken tacos. The plates are smaller in size than expected but still delicious and filling..ATMOSPHERE: The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting and comfortable. The indoor dining area is to the left when you walk in, the bar in the middle and outdoor seating. Very nice.Overall we will visit this establishment again!“

“The tacos here, a silent gold, steep in price,Yet in their flavors, they roll the dice.Greatness in each bite, a culinary flood,But the cost whispers too loud, thuds in the bud.Four stars they earn, not without strife,For the bill that comes, sharpens like a knife.A feast for the palate, yet the wallet's tight,In this dance of taste and cost, a nuanced fight.“

“We loved this place!!! Chose HiFi based on the Yelp reviews and realized when we arrived that this is actually a food hall type venue called The Roost. I'll be reviewing the whole place. The ambiance is incredible, and the way it flows is ingenious. You sit down, scan a QR code with your phone, and are able to order from any of the multiple eateries in the space. Place your order online and then waitstaff brings your order over from any/all of the restaurants. Honestly, I ordered from multiple spots- HiFi, the bar, the sushi spot- and all of our food was absolutely phenomenal. I will be back for sure the next time we're visiting DC!“

The restaurant was well maintained and appeared very clean.Service: 3.5 of 5. Staff was professional but not talkative to the customers. A little more interaction would have been nice for a first trial run.Food quantity 5 of 5. I ordered the slaw bowl that had romaine slaw with some kimchi slaw. For the meat I had chicken. Additions were tomatoes, pickled daikon radish, and cilantro. A lot of food, left the restaurant full.Food quality 5 of 5. Every bite was full of flavor and pleasant. The aroma of the food matched the taste. Though late in the day when I solicited the restaurant, the food was still fresh, delicious, and delightful.Price: $$ 15-20 per person would be reasonable, I didn’t chose a lot of options that could increase one’s bill.Overall I would give this restaurant a 4.5 of 5“
