Where to Find Outstanding Mexican Restaurants Around D.C. | Eater DC

"Sibling chefs Alfredo and Jessica Solis opened El Sol in 2014, and D.C.’s Mexican food scene hasn’t been the same since. Try one of Alfredo’s favorite dishes, chilaquiles, or fried tortillas simmered in salsa with a side of runny eggs. When paired with carne asada, the dish manages to be an affordable breakfast that makes sense any time of day. Other standouts include the pambazos — tortas filled with mashed potatoes and chorizo and dripping with red guajillo chile sauce — and molletes — toast covered in black beans, cheese, chorizo and pico de gallo. Sibling Mezcalero in D.C. offers a similar menu, and a second sits at La Cosecha with more of a seafood-centric menu." - Tierney Plumb
