Review of Mixtec

This week, I'm back on my quest for a good Mexican restaurant in DC. Mixtec is a little place in Adams Morgan. It doesn't have much atmosphere, just white tile and sterile furniture. The service wasn't much to speak of. They ignored us for the first ten minutes, even though nobody else was in the place. They don't seem to have a functioning air conditioner. Chris decided that Mixtec must mean people of the sauna.

Things started looking up when the waitress came by. We ordered a couple Pacificos, a ceviche appetizer, sopes with chicken, and tacos. The ceviche was passable, but it didn't have near enough lime. The sopes were authentic, but the toppings were run of the mill. Chris's tacos, on the other hand, were great. He had one beef and one chorizo. They were probably the most authentic tacos we've had in town so far. They also gave us salsa fresca, which for some reason is impossible to find in DC. Unlike Mexico or California, the cost of our meal was about $50 for two - a bit steep.

My suggestion is to go to Mixtec for tacos and get them to go.
