From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • The Silver Spring kitchen makes several kinds of tamales: a bean-filled version, a Guatemalan-style chicken version, and a deep-fried corn tamal served with crema. Its menu also includes pupusas and a Nicaraguan fritanga of grilled meat, plantain chips, rice, beans, slaw and pickled-onion chilero. The dining room has a mustachioed skeleton mascot on its walls and menus.
