“Dear PoPville,
Since I have found innumerable places through your site and comments section over the years, I felt I should give one back. There are a group of guys serving breakfast burritos, tacos, and quesadillas under the name “El Piquin” that have been coming to Eastern Market for about the last five years. They have a restaurant in Essex, MD, but they seem to have no presence whatsoever on yelp, social media, etc. outside of a few shout-outs from Eastern Market itself. They took a long hiatus due to COVID but are now back at it on Sundays and Tuesdays and are better than ever. I have been going religiously for years now because the food is really that good (the hot sauce is other-worldly), and I would really like them to survive. Great group of guys, so I wanted to get the word out, even if that means longer lines for me.”

Thanks to Joe for sending. Pitango Gelato opened up on Capitol Hill next to Peregrine in the old Greenworks space back in 2011. They closed their Logan Circle location back in 2016 but opened up a popular cafe in Adams Morgan back in 2017. They also still have a location in Penn Quarter which opened up back in 2010.
Updates when we learn what becomes of this space.
