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

"Ambitious, D.C.-based Knead Hospitality + Design brought New York chef Roberto Santibañez to town to serve as culinary director for this huge, artfully appointed waterfront restaurant on the Wharf. By adding blue cheese, grapes, and smoked almonds to a guacamole perked up with pasilla chiles, customers can try one of the more interesting variations of the avocado dish. There are plenty of ways to enjoy seafood by the Potomac, notably an entree of butterflied, roasted branzino painted in red and green adobo. A second location sits on 14th Street NW, where a mushroom-centric tasting room called Sagrada Mia opened upstairs this year. A third Mi Vida sits in Chinatown." - Tierney Plumb
