Cashion’s Eat Place — Adams Morgan

After dog sitting for P3, she was quite generous with her “thank you” gift and gave me a gift certificate for Cashion’s.  I was excited because I’d never been before — and so I finally had the opportunity the other week.

Food:To put it mildly, some of the best appetizers ever!  I ordered the grilled octupus which [...]

Left Bank — Adams Morgan

I know I said I’d only blog about the really good restaurants, but sometimes there are good concepts that don’t go quite as I think the chefs meant.  I think that’s what happened with Left Bank breakfasts. 
Before I get to the food, I wanted to bring up that the chairs (not the booths) are just [...]

El Tamarindo — Adams Morgan

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m starting to go to places that are a bit more “off-the-beaten-road” in DC.  Perhaps they aren’t too well-known.  I don’t think El Tamarindo falls into the unknown category, but I had never been.  And luckily, neither had one of my friends. 

Food: As soon as we sat down, we received a free order of chips [...]

Napoleon Bistro & Lounge — Adams Morgan

Owned by the same people who run Cafe Bonaparte, Napoleon opened February 1, 2007 in Adams Morgan.   I had been once before and had ordered a salad which was decent.  But when a friend was in town and wanted to catch up, I thought it’d be time to try this place out again.

Food:I ordered C&C [...]

So’s Your Mom — Adams Morgan

I had only been there for bagels (not sure where they get them from) because they are quite tasty.  I hadn’t tried their sandwiches, until recently.   And check it out — I took photos of their menu! 
       

Food: While they offer 66+ different sandwiches, it’s the one that isn’t on their menu [...]

Tono Sushi — Adams Morgan

There are few things in the world that are better than a sushi joint that delivers.  Tono Sushi is my favorite because they deliver pretty good sushi at a reasonable price.

Food:With a mix of Asian food, it’s all good.  I’ve ordered Pad Thai, sushi, sashimi, nigiri, spring rolls, etc.  All tasty.  They also have sushi [...]

Las Canteras — Adams Morgan

A few weeks ago, I went to Las Canteras with a friend.  Not knowing what to expect, we went with low expectations.  I came away knowing that I really enjoyed my meal while my friend wasn’t too pleased with her order.

Food: I ordered Camarones a la Limena (sauteed shrimp in garlic, butter, and white wine [...]

Duccini’s Pizza — U Street

I came home from Seattle with no food in my fridge.  I was starving and decided I really wanted some pizza.  As you may have been able to tell, I don’t like eating at chain restaurants — EVER.  I will if I have to, but I do try to avoid it if possible.  I can appreciate [...]

Best Mexican at Mixtec — Adams Morgan

My favorite Mexican (not Tex-Mex) food is at Mixtec in Adams Morgan.  I’ve been numerous times and have never been disappointed. 
While I know they were closed recently, they’ve re-opened with a little grocery store next door.

Food: Seriously, favorite Mexican food.  I don’t care what you get, but you MUST order the fried plantains.  They are [...]
