The 17 Most Beautiful Restaurants That Opened in D.C. This Year - Eater DC

"Cacti, faded red bricks, a retro peg-board menu full of top-notch breakfast tacos, and kitschy touches like chile pepper hanging lights make this day-to-night, Tex-Mex cafe/cantina an ideal place to linger for a chill teleworking session or gather with friends over queso and spicy margaritas. — G.H." - Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
