Mexico-born chef Alfredo Solis (also behind Mezcalero and El Sol) has added Mexican pizzas to the seafood-centric menu at this Columbia Heights dining room. Crispy crusts bolster delicious toppings including a blistered-poblano chile relleno with Chihuahua and Oaxacan cheeses; sweet shrimp with chorizo, avocado, and salsa; and a riff on the kitchen’s excellent chicken mole.

What makes a great neighborhood restaurant? In some ways, it’s easier to pin down what it’s not: a place with a fussy menu, a two-hour line, or really any pretense at all. We gravitate to the spots on this list for the comforting food, sure. But also for things that are easy to overlook in a fast-moving dining scene. A generous welcome. Time-tested reliability. An instant sense of belonging. Here’s to more than 60 restaurants that for some or all of those reasons make the city a better place not just to eat but to live. And we need them now more than ever.

Maybe you’ve been holed up with your special partner since March (
so special at this point). Or maybe you’ve found pandemic love. Either way, Valentine’s Day is good time to shake things up with a distractingly delicious and/or decadent meal.
Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday, February 14 of President’s Day weekend this year meaning a lot of restaurants are offering special menus for more than one brunch or dinner. As is often the case these days, offerings vary widely by business. Some restaurants are only doing takeout, while others also have indoor or heated outdoor dining. Some are only serving prix-fixe, but some are doing a la carte menus plus some V-Day specials. If you see something you like, don’t hesitate to reach out to the restaurant directly for options.
