Where to Find Outstanding Mexican Restaurants Around D.C. | Eater DC
"The latest D.C. venture from East Coast hospitality magnate Stephen Starr (Le Diplomate, St. Anselm) made a flashy debut in the Union Market district in 2023. El Presidente draws its show-stopping aesthetic and culinary influences from the bustling intensity of Mexico City, aiming to bring a dash of the vibrant, high-energy metropolis to D.C. Menu highlights include Baja-style coastal oysters, giant tostadas, red chile-marinated al pastor tacos, and pescado a la talla (whole striped bass), plus guacamole variations that rely on rich Michoacán avocados. The bar program leans heavily into agave spirits, with over 200 types on hand." - Tierney Plumb
