The Biggest D.C.-Area Restaurant Openings in July 2025 | Eater DC

"Serving Central and South American classics since Friday, July 18, this restaurant focuses on dishes ranging from Peruvian chicken and continent-spanning ceviches to playful takes on familiar plates—example: patatas bravas made with crispy bites of yuca. Executive chef Giovanni Orellana, inspired by his El Salvadoran roots and decades-long career in Peruvian, Italian, and Mexican kitchens, helms the menu. Owner Antonis Karagounis (Mayflower Club) opened this as his first sit-down spot since Rewind Diner (2018); the cozy room features verdant green artwork and velvet furniture, with plenty of tasting flights of liquors distilled across the Americas and the Mayflower Club below." - Tierney Plumb
