I am so desperate for Mexican food, of course I went. I had three dishes: the grasshopper tacos (quite good), three small enchiladas (only so-so, and the huitlacoche isn’t subtle at all), and the ceviche (good fish but a little too citric). Overall it falls into the category of “I would go if someone else wanted to, but I won’t drag my friends here.” It may well be the second best Mexican place in DC, after Oyamel, but that’s still not good enough for me. Sorry.
