The 8 Best New Restaurants In Washington DC 2024

"San Pancho is buzzing with people most weekdays, making it feel like the go-to spot in Takoma Park. The shop serves comfort food like California burritos stuffed with charred carne asada and shoestring fries, plus super quesadillas piled high with guac and melted cheese. Order at the counter before scrambling for a seat inside or on the patio—seriously, good luck after 6pm. The food comes out quick (like, under 10 minutes quick) and while it’s maybe the closest you’ll get to Mission-style burritos in the DMV, your San Francisco friend will still insist it’s not quite as good as anything back home. " - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
