Butterfly Tacos Y Tortas Opens
May 2018
ThinkFoodLab, the R&D-driven space from José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup, is launching its newest concept, Butterfly Tacos Y Tortas. Butterfly's menu is inspired by Mexico City’s vibrant street food culture and Mexico’s rich regional diversity as a whole.
Drawing on the decade-long success of Oyamel, just up the street, Butterfly features an all-new menu of tortas (Mexican-style sandwiches), tacos, salads, snacks, desserts (including Paletas, Mexican ice pops) and a seasonally-driven selection of agua fresca flavors. Butterfly will also debut at Audi Field, the new home of DC's Major League Soccer team, D.C. United.
Menu highlights include:
