We ordered the Bacalaitos, Ceviche, Arroz con Pollo, and Snapper. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Each dish really showcased the richness of the cuisine. I was a little disappointed not to see the Pastelón on the full dinner menu since it's one of my favorites, but I appreciate that it rotates in as a special. My only note is that seating is still pretty snug, even with the larger space, so be prepared for a cozy dining experience. Overall though, I'll definitely be back!

There was a long line to start golf, but the wait did not feel bad at all because the bar was great and the atmosphere was fun. They also had arcade games, and I believe they loaded about fifty dollars onto the game card for us to use. There was even a DJ playing, which made the energy even better. I went on a Friday night with a 9:30 p.m. reservation, and my date and I had an amazing time playing mini golf and enjoying the arcade. The bartenders were very personable and took good care of us. The roaming servers were also helpful and even assisted us with some of the arcade games. The food was good as well. They have about three food truck style options to choose from, including American and Mexican, and everything we tried was solid. Overall, I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to go back on another date to beat him again in putt putt. Such a great date night option!

We ordered the Chile Relleno Burrito (filled with a oaxaca cheese-filled poblano pepper) and the Jalapeno Hash BEC Breakfast Burrito (filled with bacon, potatoes, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and sliced avocado). The burritos are wrapped in a homemade four tortilla, and the salsas are all homemade. The burritos were well-packed and very generous. We also had to try their Seasoned Refried Beans, Pati's Chunky Guacamole, and the agua frescas (the Basil Limonada) and the Tangerine Jamaica - note that the specific drinks are offered on specific days! They were nice and chilled. We were lucky to get a signed cookbook from Pati herself!

I, at first, thought it was a Korean coffee stand, but it derives from their response with 'K' to how people 'perceive Viet food/culture'. The menu has items such as black coffee, egg coffee, rice coffee, canned coffee (using either coconut or condensed milk), and also coffee beans for sale. I ordered a Ca Phe Trung, aka Egg Coffee, and the Condensed Milk Canned Coffee.

If you have not had the chance to stumble upon this stand when it pops up near you, shame on you…read more My god are these tacos delicious and made fresh when you order. But word of caution, get to them early, like almost as soon as they set up, because the goods go fast. We were lucky that for our lunch the one day they were set up on the Georgetown Capital Campus. We love when a food vendor is nearby. Especially here, they rotate who will be there and our luck was Taco Dirty To Me (love the name too). By the time we got there, between noon and one, we were made aware they were already out of two proteins. Not to worry, we still were able to satiate our need for tacos. What they did have left made for some happy bellies and repeat customers when they pop back up. With the limited selection I ended up with a Honey Sriracha Shrimp and two Bang Bang Cauliflower tacos. Then you just get to stand off to the side and watch them make the tacos fresh. As you wait to hear your number be called the smells makes your mind wander. Once they were ready they have foil available to keep them warm until you get to where you want to devour them. The shrimp taco was amazing. The lime slaw, scallion, and cilantro mesh well with the flavors. The Panko breading really makes the honey sriracha stick to the shrimp. Bang Bang Cauliflower, same breading, same mixture of items, but the sauce on this one has a bit of a kick, and it is so good. I can't wait for them to come back around the office. Check their socials for their monthly calendar on where they will be. You might be surprise just how near to you they might be. They are also available to cater an event to, so keep that in mind.

I love the sweet breakfast options (I've had Ube French Toast and Pancakes in the past) and the savory egg platters that taste great without swimming in oil. I've also had crab torta(?) in the past, which I really enjoyed but haven't seen again since I first came like four years ago. Purple Patch is super popular, so if you don't have a reservation I'd recommend getting there right when it opens. Even about an hour after is okay. The earlier the better, though. I always have gone on a Saturday or Sunday and called beforehand to check if they had room. Parking isn't too difficult to find, but it WILL be street parking and you may need to walk 5-10 minutes to the restaurant.

Service: can't say much because it's a pizza place and we only order and take our food.

Onto the letter W on my alphabet series, representing prior to 2018, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. The…read morefirst time I ever went to Wiseguy Pizza was in August 2014. That month I had started Uber driving, was in this area of DC, had heard good things about Wiseguy, and decided to eat here. Although I don't like paying to park just to simply eat a meal, I sometimes will make an exception for convenience and/or if it's a place I really want to go. But for the most part, I'll go to restaurant where they have free parking or at least I can find free parking near the restaurant. I remembered getting a parking spot very close and feel like I feed the meter like 50 cents in 2014 parking prices for a quick 30 minute meal. They have all kinds of varieties of slices from the standard toppings or just cheese to fancy ones. Although the pizza is fairly thin, but average for New York style pizza. I tried Andy's Pizza 11 years later in 2025, and while it was solid although not as good as Wiseguy, my real complaint with Andy's was that the pizza is very thin, where I was hungry very soon later; so a much worse value as pricing is comparable to Wiseguy. Wiseguy slices are big, and the pizza is top notch New York style. I went to this location a couple of more times after my initial August 2014 visit as I loved the pizza. Then, they opened up other locations. I went to Navy Yard one at least twice, once after a Nationals baseball game after a disappointing loss for my 4th favorite baseball team, Texas Rangers. Sorry Nats fans, but Nats are in my bottom 10 teams. I also went to Rosslyn & Pentagon City location, where parking isn't quite as bad. They even had a Wheaton Mall food court location, which I got to experience once, but they sadly closed. Every experience with Wiseguy has been positive.
