Latin spot with draft margaritas, ceviches, and tapas
"Located a block from the parade starting route, this Mexican mainstay has a bevy of Pride events and a new cocktail menu celebrating five historical LGBTQ+ icons; $1 from each Tito’s-sponsored Sylvia Rivera goes to The Capital Pride Alliance. On Thursday, June 9, Vida Fitness throws a happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., or until the keg is kicked. On Saturday, June 11, Tico keeps parade attendees satisfied with to-go quesadillas, snacks, and cocktails sent through open storefront windows. On Thursday, June 16, Tico welcomes Catoctin Creek’s Whiskey Unicorn Fairy for an 80s-themed party from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m." - Evan Caplan
"For Cinco de Mayo, Tico is serving margaritas, ranch water, nachos, ribs, and twin tacos for $5 each, available in the dining room and bar. On May 6 through 8, diners can take advantage of the same specials in the bar only." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Rodrigues also worked for restaurateur Michael Schlow at the Latin-leaning Tico in Boston and D.C., part of a résumé that preceded his tenure at Boqueria and eventual opening of El Mercat." - Tierney Plumb
"The 14th Street mainstay plans to open its window bar from 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Tuesday, serving margaritas by the pouch and whole pitchers of classic, hibiscus, mango, and prickly pear renditions. DIY margarita kits are also available. Starting at $50, fixings include a bottle of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, house hibiscus and prickly pear syrups, limes, and salt." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Latin American restaurant on 14th Street makes more than 500 portions of cinnamon churros ($10) per week. They come with dulce de leche, dark chocolate, and strawberries." - Lani Furbank
