El Centro D.F. - 1819 14th Street NW
This Mexican restaurant and tequlieria between U Street and Dupont Circle is a great place to see and be seen with a margarita in one hand and a shot of tequila in the other. Owned and operated by popular chef and restauranteur Richard Sandoval, it isn't uncommon that Washingtonian VIPs will drink and dine here on occasion. Add a spacious open-air rooftop deck with two full-service bars and
respectable happy hour specials into the mix, and El Centro D.F. will quickly become your new favorite springtime hotspot.
