Joe Biden Visits Mexican Restaurant for Tacos on Cinco de Mayo
Charlie Spiering 5 May 2021
President Joe Biden celebrated Cinco de Mayo Wednesday by traveling to a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C., for tacos.
Biden traveled from the White House via his motorcade to the Taqueria Las Gemelas restaurant, owned by Mexican immigrants to the United States, and ordered tacos.
The president used the trip to promote the success of his American Rescue Plan offering financial aid to restaurants across the country during the coronavirus pandemic.
“The restaurant industry is so badly hurt nationwide,” he said.
Wearing a mask, Biden spoke with some of the customers in the restaurant and even shared his thoughts about fans of Philadelphia sporting teams.
“Philadelphia fans are the most informed and most obnoxious fans in the world,” he said, noting his wife, Jill Biden, was also a Philadelphia fan.
Biden did not eat on camera, likely due to coronavirus restrictions, but he left the restaurant with a bag of food. He told reporters outside the building that he got tacos and enchiladas.
When reporters asked Biden what he thought of the likely ouster of House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, Biden replied, “I don’t understand Republicans.”

President Biden Visits D.C. Taqueria To Get Lunch And Distribute Huge Relief Grant

President Joe Biden continued his patronage of local D.C businesses on Wednesday by popping into Las Gemelas, a taqueria in the Latin American food hall La Cosecha.
Biden’s Cinco de Mayo visit caught co-owner Joshua Phillips by surprise — as did the news that Las Gemelas would be the first restaurant in the country to receive a Restaurant Revitalization Fund grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Las Gemelas, which means “twins,” in Spanish, is a nod to Phillips’ business partner, Yesenia Neri Diaz, who gave birth to twins while working at Espita in Shaw. Also on the team are is butcher Rogelio Martinez, executive chef Robert Aikens, and chef de cuisine Benjamin Tenner.
As for the president’s lunchtime selection, Phillips says he ordered four tacos and two quesadillas. Biden also declared his order quite proudly to a gaggle of reporters waiting outside as he left the restaurant.
