"For the last hour, your friends have been vividly describing the tamales they ate in Mexico City. And while you might not have experienced the taste of fresh masa from a street vendor's loving hands, you can at least convince them you know good food. This modern Mexican restaurant’s steamed sweet corn tamal is drenched in a rich, chunky charred tomatillo, goat cheese, and pecorino sauce that’s guaranteed to elicit wows from your pickiest friends. The restaurant's interior, with oakwood tables, blue-gray walls, and warm corn gold accents, is a cozy escape from Logan Circle, as well as the gross slush you probably had to wade through to get here.
