“Mecho’s Dominican Kitchen opened yesterday, Sunday afternoon.
Within 45 minutes it was standing room only inside with air conditioning. Thankfully there were seats and tables outside.
I was one of the first customers in 1995 when Los Hermanos opened up in Columbia Heights on Park Road and 14th Street, NW.
And I was the very first customer with their second restaurant, Mecho’s Dominican Kitchen opened Sunday at 2450 Market Street, N.E., in the Shops at Dakota Crossing across from Costco.
What I love about these eateries is that it’s not fast food, quite the opposite in fact:
The Guisados (meat and Caribbean root vegetable stews) take hours to prepare and simmer, done right.
It is very laborious and time-consuming to prepare Mofongo, and to do it right.
–That’s what keeps us all coming back for more very nutritious and easy-to-digest food.
And at $10 for a full meal, very affordable for Washington, D.C. with Dominican-large portions, too, often two can eat.
The menu is relatively short, but inclusive of Dominican-creole favorites and easy to choose from à-la-carte.
Pictured below, I had the savory Sancocho for a satisfying Sunday supper delight as I did in 1995 with the same consistent delicious recipe not lost in 25 years.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
