Chicatana

At this popular Mexican restaurant in Columbia Heights, order anything raw. Hopefully, that includes a tostada with slices of glistening red tuna, and a scallop ceviche, in a “can I just drink this, please?” coconut leche de tigre with passionfruit and pomegranate. Start with the al pastor margarita (mezcal and pineapple juice!) and end with the crispy buñuelos, sweetened with dabs of dulce de leche—and optional ants.
