Alero - Columbia Heights

Now open, Alero's 4th location's rocking the same hearty Mexa-menu you know and love: page after page of fajitas, enchiladas, and chimichanga-ry, 10 (mostly) Mexican beers, and specialty margaritas like the Cuervo Especial/Grand Marnier "Cadillac". The space is a mix of brick and festively bright-painted walls, with a long copper bar and a raised, plush-chair lounge area, all accented by massive oils from a local painter featuring cartoonish sometimes-celebs in the nude, from David Beckham to "Harry Potter and His Magic Wand" (look closely for his hog warts).
