"Whether they come for the boozy tequila drinks or the chance to soak up some rays on the spacious rooftop deck, confidence is high that every customer that walks into this Columbia Heights mainstay isn’t leaving without polishing off at least one of the kitchen’s inventive tacos. Example: sesame-crusted rare ahi tuna topped with grilled pina salsa, pickled shallots, and jalapeno aioli with cilantro." - Tierney Plumb, Adele Chapin
