Washington D.C. đŸ‡ș🇾 | $28 Weekday Lunch Deal is a Steal! 🍔

A highly recommended Spanish restaurant that’s been getting a lot of buzz. When booking, I noticed the weekend evenings were fully booked, so I opted for a Friday lunch and hit the weekday lunch special! For just $28 (+$6 for Sangria), you get 2 appetizers, 1 main course, and 1 dessert. It’s an absolute bargain! We ordered one lunch set and a few additional dishes we were curious about, and we had a fantastic meal. **Lunch Set:** đŸ„” **Ensaladilla Rusa**: Called "the ultimate tapa," it’s a mayo-based potato salad with lots of canned tuna. While not mind-blowing, the combination of ingredients is solid. The red pepper on top adds a nice touch, brightening up the flavors and presentation of the otherwise plain potato salad! 🍆 **Berenjenas a La Malagueña**: Thin, soft slices of fried eggplant with honey and lemon zest. It’s a light, sweet dish, but being fried, it can get a bit heavy by the end. đŸ€ **Gambas al ajillo**: A classic and reliable choice for Tapas. It’s hard to go wrong with this dish. 🍼 **Flan**: A very standard caramel pudding. The caramel is quite sweet on its own, but pairing it with whipped vanilla cream balances the sweetness nicely. đŸ· **Sangria**: Lower on fruitiness and sweetness, not my personal favorite. **Additional Orders:** 🍅 **Pan de cristal tomato**: Looks simple and uses common ingredients, but it’s delicious! Thin, crispy slices of baguette topped with flavorful fresh tomato chunks, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Perfect as an appetizer! 🐙 **Calamares en su tinta**: A unique dish with soft, tender baby octopus that’s very fresh and flavorful. 🧁 **Tarta de Queso**: The sea-salt, sheep’s milk Basque cheesecake was our main reason for choosing this place. Even though we were full, we couldn’t resist. It’s baked to a delicate texture, almost molten inside. Neither of us loves sheep’s milk, but this one was tolerable. chorizo casero a la sidra con purĂ© de patatas y aceite de oliva: I missed out on the smoky chorizo with lots of paprika in Atlanta, so I kept searching. This one wasn’t quite what I remembered, but the pork sausage with mashed potatoes is hard to mess up. Not a top pick, but not bad either. #GlobalFoodReviewContest #AmericasPartyCorner #WashingtonDC #DMV
