Chaia Tacos, which has two locations in Washington, DC, announced in July that it will be opening a pop-up shop at 7237 Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda, the former site of Häagen-Dazs.
Last night we were told the restaurant will be opening on Tuesday, September 28th.
A few of the taco varieties they serve include braised mushroom, kale & potato, roasted eggplant, and chipotle sweet potato hash. The menu does not feature Impossible/Beyond style meat substitutes.
The food will be prepared at their Chinatown location and then brought to the Bethesda restaurant.
BizJournals reports that the restaurant will seat 20 people indoors and 12 outside, offer a window for low-contact ordering and pick up. It will be open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, closed Monday.
