In today’s ‘where’s the best available these days’ – obviously it’s time to talk Tacos and more. Readers are asking for: the best carry-out Mexican, tacos, tortillas and queso. And one that wasn’t specifically asked but that I’d like to know – best Margaritas?
Some initial recommendations: Judy Restaurant, “El Sol, Espita, and Oyamel are some of my favorites.”, “My fav right now is @anafre_dc. Their fish taco is spectacular.”, “Guapo’s”, “@DelBarrioDC in Petworth is great.”, “Taqueria Habanero. They make their own tortillas.”, “For food I like Mezcalero, Taqueria Habanero and El Sol for traditional Mexi food. Espita has a modern twist on Mexi foods and they have great Mezcal cocktails.”, “El Tamarindo 1785 Florida Ave. NW” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
As most of us are these days, I am 100% home and teleworking. I have it pretty good–still have a salary and with ample of indoor and outdoor space to move around in.
However the amount of noise in DC is really incredible! I know I had crappy windows–installed by a third party after a construction job at my place. I can hear everything and I’d rather not.
Can you ask the community if anyone has replaced their windows and what the brand/style was and who installed them? I’m especially interested in hearing from people who live close to busy streets (I live off of North Capitol near three traffic lights–sooo much honking and loud music) and who are satisfied with their windows/noise reduction. Also interested in bad experiences/places and products to avoid. I know there are quality windows out there but it is expensive when you have 17 of various sizes to replace (not including the basement ones).”

GL requests: “any good sushi take out still around? Plz assist!”
Some early responses:
“Hilo poke and sushi in Adams Morgan, Sushi Taro, Wok n Roll, Sticky Rice, Imm Thai or Asia Kitchen, Torai in Barracks Row, Zeppelin in Shaw is offering takeout sushi, in AdMo! And if you do pickup between 4 and 6pm I believe they have their sushi happy hour pricing, Tono Sushi, Toku if you’re looking for pretty nice quality at a reasonable price!!, Yosaku, on Wisconsin near Tenleytown metro. One of the few Japanese owned ones and it’s terrific!, Nama_DC by Chef Michael Schlow, Kaz, Sushi Ogawa, and Raku/Rakuya.”
Add yours below and please add what neighborhood if you can.

“Dear PoPville,
Perhaps your readers can informally weigh in on the question of which DC hospital has the most effective emergency room and why.
It could be helpful when a future predicament arrives.
It’s possible I’ve left one or two out, but the options seem to be: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My boyfriend is going through the process of buying a house, but so many sales are the unit splits that seem like shoddy construction. While he is trying to avoid those types of units in general, I do want to see if there are some renovators that do a good job at it (or rather those to avoid). Would love to hear of any positive/negative experiences so we can at least be more informed while searching!”
