The food is very good and you pay a reasonable price for it. Great idea to provide the sombreros so the customers can take pics with them. I would recommend to make a reservation, as it can get crowded pretty fast. Especially on the weekends.

The Story
About This Place
Fresh corn masa chips made in-house daily and a lineup of homemade chili sauces — from a smoky chipotle to a fiery chocolate habanero — set District Federal apart from typical Mexican spots in Saigon. The tacos and quesadillas built on real corn tortillas draw consistent praise, and the three-course lunch menu running Tuesday to Friday keeps the weekday crowd coming back. Festive murals cover the walls, sombreros are on hand for photos, and the spacious Xuân Thủy location fills up fast on weekends, so reservations are a good idea.

Finally tried District Federal after passing by. The food was great. Loved the corn in the tacos. Menu is nice and fresh. Loved the atmosphere and the service was great too
Pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of their tacos. Didn't think I'd find something like this in Vietnam. Highly recommend checking this place out.
The nachos, made from real corn, hold a gentle aroma that lingers before every bite — a warmth that feels almost homemade. They crack softly, releasing that familiar sweetness of roasted corn. The meat melts on the tongue, and the cool, bright toppings tie everything together in balance.
Had quesadillas and tacos, would rate them 3.5/5, quite salty for my tastebud and saucy which made tortillas become too soggy. The place also offers a wide range of sauces (pic in below) to try and they were kept in the fridge until there’s customers so that +1. Love the atmosphere tho, Mexican-theme with amazing art style all over the walls. I was super impressed with this Mexican spot because of the environment of people working here, staffs and kitchen seems to enjoy the work they do and all of them give a very friendly vibes. The place itself its pretty huge, and can be super crowded and lots of local Vietnamese are here!!
