It is also home to the taco dinner on Fridays. I don't know how long this has been going on or how it started, but this is a tradition among DC reporters. Every Friday, the bar offers cheap Coronas starting at 4 p.m. and a taco bar promptly at 5:30 p.m. By 5:45 p.m., it's a happening place.
I got my membership card today and my first event at the Club just happened to be taco night. I was actually start struck by the establishment. So many influential, history-making figures had been to the Club through the years that I couldn't believe my first exposure to the place was for a taco dinner.
After the tacos came out at 5:30, I was beyond starving. As one of my professors told me "They may not be the best taco, but they are in fact the free-ist." That's pretty much how I would summarize my taco experience. For free tacos, they were quite delicious. You had a choice of hard-shelled tacos or tortilla chips topped with meat or beans along with Mexican or regular cheese, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, home-made guacamole, onions and jalapeno. Next Friday I will take a strategy tip from the veterans: pile up toppings on one plate and chips on the other for a taco salad approach.
While the tacos served at the Reliable Source were delicious, sitting at the upstairs lounge in the National Press Club was really the main attraction. I can't believe I get to go to the Club every day for breakfast, which is included with our membership! I feel like I'm living a dream out here.

Well, who needs a kitchen when you can dine at the club?! Lucky you -- it sounds like great fun.
