"When he debuted Anafre in November 2019, months before the pandemic hit D.C., Alfredo Solis separated it from his other D.C. restaurants with a focus on coastal dishes like Yucatan shrimp tostadas, fried oyster tacos, and vuelve a la vida, a spicy Sinaloan-style seafood cocktail brimming with crab, shrimp, octopus, and oysters. Those three remain, but the chef has adapted by adding a pizza oven to fire off chile relleno pies and a section of sandwiches such as a grilled steak jibarito with caramelized onions and cilantro jalapeño aioli. Solis is also behind seafood-stuffed Mariscos 1133 in Shaw." - Tierney Plumb
"Jessica Sidman highlighted it as one of the gems in her neighborhood." - Adele Chapin
"Logan Circle’s anticipated seafood showpiece from Mexico City-born chefs Alfredo and Jessica Solis (El Sol, Mezcalero, Anafre) swung open in February and tacked on a well-received brunch service in July." - Tierney Plumb
"Alfredo Solis opens Anafre in the old Little Havana space on 14th Street. Anafre opens tonight with dishes like fried Puerto Nuevo-style lobster from Baja California — finished on the grill and doused with jalapeno butter — and a fiery crab, oyster, and octopus ceviche." - Gabe Hiatt
"Anafre, named after a coal-fired clay stove in Mexico, is a new Mexican restaurant planned by Alfredo Solis. It promises to feature dishes like fried, grilled Baja California-style lobster and mole-glazed ribs." - Gabe Hiatt
