La Tejana

The 10 Best Bars In DC

"You’ll find this tiny cocktail bar above La Tejana, an equally tiny spot that serves the city’s best breakfast tacos by day. Seats and tables are very close together in this second floor dining room, which makes it easy to bum drink suggestions from your neighbors. Don’t be afraid to splurge on the tasty $65 mezcal flight, which is full of caramel-y, buttery shots and served with a delicious gingery grapefruit espuma. If you’re on a little more of a budget, the spirit-forward manojo and slightly sweet la fresa are winners, but as with the team’s daytime tacos, there’s not a bad choice on the menu. Head here for a low-stakes date night or a laidback night out with friends. But make sure to book a table early, because it does fill up (though there’s also room on the outdoor patio).  " - tristiana hinton
