“Dear PoPville,
Any thoughts on best Mexican restaurant for catering on Cinco de mayo?”
I suggested Mezcalero, Taqueria Habenero, Taqueria al Lado and Chicatana.
Any others they should look into?

From an email:
“Perched high atop downtown’s Moxy Hotel, Lucha Rosa is DC’s newest all-season indoor/outdoor rooftop bar featuring a retractable roof. Colorful, fun and vibrant, Atlas Restaurant Group’s next great concept pulls inspiration from Mexican and Latin American cuisine and culture, highlighted by one of the city’s largest agave spirits list. Sip a signature cocktail surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the bustling neighborhood. In the distance, guests will enjoy views of the historic Washington Monument peeking up over the horizon while sitting on the open-air terrace. Lucha Rosa’s menu of lite fare has a focus on freshness. Ceviches, crudos, salads and tacos are created with seasonal ingredients that are bursting with flavor and perfectly complement the beverage selections.”

A couple weeks ago Los Cuates posted a “temporarily closed” sign. Alas.
Thanks to Benny for the update: “Los Cuates in Adams Morgan appears to be shutting down for good”
Los Cuates opened in the former La Fourchette space back in 2016.

Mixtec is located at 1792 Columbia Rd, NW in Adams Morgan. I always thought folks went here only if the Italian place (pasta mia) next door was too crowded. Now I see they got pretty good reviews on Yelp. So what’s the word? Any fans here?
