Immigrant Food is a fast-casual restaurant located at 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. It was founded by chef Enrique Limardo, Peter Schechter, and Ezequiel Vázquez-Ger, and opened on November 12, 2019.[1][2] Located near the White House, the restaurant combines its food offerings with pro-immigrant activism.[3][4]
Immigrant Food serves fusion cuisine from China, El Salvador, Ethiopia, and other countries.[5] Its menu is prepared by Limardo.[6]
Immigrant Food opened two more Washington, D.C. locations in 2021: a food stall at Union Market on May 12,[7] and an "offshoot" location, Immigrant Food+, in the Planet Word museum on October 7.[8][9] In August 2023, it was reported that the restaurant had applied to open a location in the Ballston neighborhood in Arlington County, Virginia.[10]
