"A contender for the title of Washington’s top taqueria, El Sol is the first venture from Mexico City-born chef and restaurateur Alfredo Solis (Mezcalero). Solis’s ultra-rich braised pork carnitas are the perfect stuffer for fried masa gordita pouches and house-formed corn tortilla quesadillas. Break up a bar crawl with its fried and rolled chicken tacos dorados. Solis’ nearby Mariscos 1133 specializes in Latin-leaning seafood dishes." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
