Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Yea!!!...another holiday that people only celebrate just to have an excuse to celebrate something! 

Well, if you're looking for something festive, hop down to Cafe Citron (1343 Connecticut Avenue)...they have great mojitos and nachos with Salsa lessons downstairs for those who want to boogie...

You can even check out Lauriol Plaza(1835 18th St NW), the Fab! Spot of the Moment! This place is a staple and has some of the best Tex Mex in town.

And if you're young and on the Hill, go to La Loma (316 Massachusetts Avenue, NE). They have great margaritas, sangrias and of course your Tex Mex menu.

Lastly, check out Cactus Cantina (3300 Wisconsin Avenue, NW) apparently they have the best frozen magaritas in the District. I wouldn't know because I've never had them...but that's what they say! Oh yea and for only $6 per mug or $26/pitcher you can enjoy them in any flavor: Strawberry, peach and mango. Ya' can't beat that!

¡Quédese fabuloso!

You asked me: Cafe Citron

So every weekend I get texts and emails that go something like "Joi, what's going on this weekend?"...or "Where should I celebrate my birthday?"...or "What's going on tonight?"...so I just wanted to share an unusual request that I think all could benefit from:

I wonder have you been to any spots that would be considered Brazilian?

What do you mean by Brazilian...as in play Brazilian music? Have a Latin flare? Have Latin nights...??? Also, which city are you interested in...

Thanks for reaching out!

Lamar, I would check out Cafe Citron in Dupont Circle...address is 1343 Connecticut Avenue. I went there with my friend B one day after work... they have a happy hour from 5-7 PM and they have the BEST mojitos in EVERY flavor there...I think I had watermelon.

The time I went, this Brazilian dancer got on the bar and started shaking her thing (I was kinda disgusted...B took out his camera phone)...and they even had a salsa lesson downstairs. I opted out to sit and eat my fully loaded nachos. 

It isn't a swanky spot; def a jeans and t-shirt type of time...but the mojitos were good...

Hope this helps,
