This wood-fired modern Mexican restaurant from chef Richard Sandoval has been drawing in Washingtonians for a fresh take on Mexican cuisine since it opened last year. The menu offers classic Mexican dishes including an assortment of Birria Barbacoa, Camarón, and Hongos a la Leña Tacos, and the grilled house chicken dish, known as Medio Pollo al Carbón, comes marinated with guajillo-achiote, criolla sauce, and grilled broccolini. The restaurant also offers a new chef’s table experience. With two seatings per night, the chef’s table allows diners to linger and enjoy an eight-course menu for $125 per person, with an option for a $75 beverage pairing. It’s a primo seat located behind the main bar and facing directly into Sandoval’s open kitchen.
