About The Admiral
The Admiral is a taco shop, counter-service with a tacos-first menu and usually burritos and quesadillas alongside. It sits in Washington (20036), DC, independently run.
There is no star rating on file for The Admiral yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taco shop scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.
A rolled-taco plate or a couple of asada tacos with guac is the move at a California-style shop.
It runs late, which makes it a solid after-hours option when the sit-down places have closed.
It is on Dupont Circle Northwest in Washington. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.
Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taco shops change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.
In our Washington taco guide, The Admiral is ranked #12 of 74, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.
