The Hottest New Restaurants Around D.C., November 2024

"From al pastor tacos made on the traditional spit with pineapple to roasted flying ants topping tacos, ceviche, and even cocktails, this Mexican eatery is known for serving traditional street foods and small plates in a fine dining setting. Chicatana opened in a new, even larger restaurant just a few doors down from its original location in August. An expanded menu still showcases tacos like lengua (beef tongue) and Chapulines (grasshoppers), an array of margarita flavors made from scratch, along with some surprising new menu items." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
