Pepita Cantina, Ballston

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Don

I suppose you could say that Pepita Cantina is being graded on an auto-curve, because immediately before going there, I went to one of its “competitors,” if you could call it that. One important thing to remember about Pepita Cantina … Continue reading →

Don Tito, Clarendon

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Don

Fate: it’s one of those words that you know isn’t really true. So, what exactly was it that had me at Don Tito yesterday? Bad Luck? Divine Punishment? Did I do something bad in a previous lifetime that I don’t … Continue reading →

Surfside, Glover Park

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Don

“Wow this place reminds me of Jettie’s,” my friend said as she walked into Surfside for the very first time. I’ve never heard one bad thing about Surfside, the wildly popular California-tinged semi-fast food Mexican restaurant which seems to be constantly … Continue reading →

Matamoros, Wheaton, MD

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Don

It was the end of a really bad, really long day. It was about 9:15 PM, and I hadn’t had a bite of food – I needed sustenance, and found myself driving through Wheaton. I wasn’t in the mood for … Continue reading →

Taqueria Poblano, Arlington, VA

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Don

One somewhat overlooked thing about Taqueria Poblano is the relatively gentle pricing of their Margaritas ($6.25), made with fresh lime juice and not that awful Rose’s stuff. My young dining companion got his usual Diet Coke ($1.79 with refills). The … Continue reading →

Qdoba, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Don

Yeah, I played Ultra-Zone Laser Tag. Yeah, I went to Qdoba. Yeah, I got a burrito. You gotta problem with that? I’ve been to Qdoba exactly three times in my life, and each time I’ve gotten a Vegetarian Burrito ($5.89) … Continue reading →

District Taco, Arlington, VA

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Don

(See December 24, 2010 Review here). Sometimes people assume I’m this little nerdy guy who sits around eating scallop consommé and sipping tea with my pinky extended (although usually people assume the opposite extreme). On Tuesday night, I lived up … Continue reading →

District Taco, Arlington, VA

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Don

I’d been to District Taco a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed a Burrito Mojado, but yesterday, a Basic Breakfast Taco ($2.25) fell a little short. This is a very simple dish to put out – scrambled egg, cheese, and … Continue reading →
