This closure was telegraphed for a while, but it's still a bummer, man. Months after posting 'business for sale' signs in the windows, Tikal Burritos Fast is now actually closed. A Mount Pleasant Street (3213 Mt P St NW) resident or over 5 years, the restaurant was simple and delicious. No wait staff, no alcohol, no bar, no dance floor; it was a straight up burrito joint with a limited and focused menu. I ordered a black bean burrito w/no cheese 99.9% of the time. The other .1% of the time I added spinach.There may be exciting new plans for this space. More news to come after I do some digging around. Suffice to say it won't become another burrito place, but the new incarnation could be good news for the commercial strip. Farewell Tikal, farewell.

I used to enjoy the burrito fast until I came down with a narly case of food poisoning from there. I've sworn it off for the last 3 years. Not surprised to see it go out of business. I'm sure many others had the same experience.
That place sucked. They tried to keep my change in there once too. And their nasty burrito just fell apart too. Gross.
It has reopened as . . . Burrito Fast. I think they're under new management. Haven't been yet.
