This contemporary Mexican restaurant enjoys a prime location just off Dupont Circle. Tastefully designed, the welcoming space is a proper stage for Chef Christian Irabién, who prioritizes quality ingredients and prepares them with style. The menu is wide-ranging, and everything is meant to be shared. Past highlights include a rotating selection of oysters, appetizers like a tostada with avocado and mezcal-flambeed insects, grilled shrimp with salsa campechana, and heartier entrees like steak and turkey paired with smooth mole. Tortillas nixtamalized in-house in house are a point of pride and cannot be missed. A generous cocktail and spirit program rounds out the experience.
