Mecho’s Dominican Restaurant Sells Chimi Sandwiches From the Los Hermanos Family - Eater DC
"Mecho’s Dominican Kitchen, opened by twin brothers Aris and Raymond Compres, is located at 2450 Market Street NE Suite #801 in Northeast D.C. It offers four kinds of chimis, including a vegetarian option that features grilled cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, sautéed onions, and Mecho’s salsa rosada. Unlike their other restaurant Los Hermanos, Mecho’s sells alcohol and has a happy hour from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. with $5 frozen cocktails and $3 beers, including Dominican Presidente. The restaurant is designed simply with red, yellow, and dark blue colors, the latter representing the Dominican flag. A mural by Dominican painter William Bautista depicts a lively Caribbean street scene. The restaurant is named after the twins' mother, Mercedes Compres, and all recipes are based on her cuisine." - Lenore Adkins
