Best Places to Dine in NoMa and Around Union Market | Eater DC
"A truly original Stephen Starr restaurant, El Presidente draws its show-stopping aesthetic and culinary influences from the bustling intensity of Mexico City. Menu highlights include giant Oaxacan tostadas, red chile-marinated al pastor tacos, whole roasted cauliflower with ancho-pecan pipián, and pescado a la talla (whole striped bass). Additionally, try guacamole variations using rich Michoacán avocados. Playful drinks like the dangerous tequila, gin, and Campari-spiked Elephant in the Room and meme-worthy Wolf Spritzer make the bar a neighborhood watering hole. Philadelphia-based STARR Restaurants group is also behind Union Market district’s stylish steakhouse St. Anselm and pint-sized bakery Bread Alley." - Emily Venezky
