El Rancho Migueleno

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and my friend ordered the Cheese Enchiladas. My food was okay, but hers had chicken in it. We had to send it back, and the next time the enchiladas were undercooked. On top of that, the service was slow. Sadly, the highlight of the experience was the drunken older man singing, dancing, and flirting with a waitress. Will definitely never come here again.

Perhaps my favorite restaurant website in the DC area — they get points for making no attempt to include English. Some may quibble with the site’s efforts to display female staff in various poses at every possible opportunity — my favorite is the young lady lounging with the somewhat grungy (that’s how I like it!) Pike in the background. However, I appreciate them for giving everyone space on the site. We went there for Mother’s day. My friends were asked, «Are you Mommy’s?» The «no» response caused only a brief pause before they were handed a complimentary rose. Nice touch. A full on Mariachi band played in the background. Various Salvadorean cowboy types sipped beers to complete the ambience. The food was fine, but most of the stars come from being a unique outpost in what may soon become a tidal wave of development. For nights when Abi’s feels too gringo, check this place out.
