"The modern Mexican eatery from the team behind District Kitchen has both half and full liters of lime margaritas for sale. Those who can handle the heat can opt for the spicy diablo mixture instead." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"If you’re looking for a good group spot to grab dinner near Adams Morgan, check out Mayahuel Cocina Mexicana in Woodley Park. This Day of the Dead-themed restaurant is run by the same team as District Kitchen next door, and serves pitchers of margaritas and larger format Mexican dishes, like a whole branzino with green and red chile adobo and braised short ribs with huitlacoche salsa. If you’re stuck at the far end of the table and need to eat something else before you commit to a second round of margaritas, order some of the beef tongue tacos, too." - Lily Sahn
"Mayahuel Cocina Mexicana, District Kitchen’s new Day of the Dead-themed sister restaurant, features skull-covered decor and a colorful homage to the Mexican holiday. It offers a 90-seat dining space with vibrant interior design by Yvette Irene. The restaurant's menu includes starters like corn-poblano chile soup and ceviche, and main courses such as braised beef tongue tacos and the house Mexi-Burguesa. The bar, led by Fabian Malone, offers frozen margaritas and Mexican-inspired craft cocktails." - Tierney Plumb
