This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant as their Mexican dishes are added with an extra hint of pizaz. Crab Guacamole (5/5): The portion does look small, but it was packed with flavor. The crab was seasoning with this delicates spice and mixed with the guacamole. Horchatas (3/5): Honestly too creamy for me. Seafood enchilada (5/5): Comes with seafood like crab and shrimp. It's mixed with powerful flavor. Churros (5/5); Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside as it was perfect. The ice in the middles was perfect as a refresher. It also comes with a caramel dipping sauce. I definitely recommend this place for a night out.

The corn flavor profile was so present and topped with the crema, it was chefs kiss. The tamarindo drink wasn't too sweet, a slight bit sour but it was very mild. It was interesting but tasty. I would absolutely order everything again, it was so good! There was quite a bit so it lasted for a few meals. I wish the red sauce had a bit more of a kick, it really didn't have a much of a presence to it. Overall, I definitely recommend!

First, two things:…read more 1. It's not El Pollo Rico. 2. It doesn't have to be. This place is at least on par with the great many charcoal chicken joints in the DC area, and better than a lot. The best part about this style of chicken is even when it's not the best, it's still pretty good. Their birds aren't huge, but definitely not the smallest I've ever received from a restaurant (Bojangles easily wins that one; I swear they served me a pigeon!). Seasoned well, as were the rice and beans. The portions of sides are impressively generous. I live nearby and come here fairly often. I've never been disappointed.

Food - The prices have jumped quite a bit. A 1/4 chicken meal will still run you about $6, but the 1/2 chicken meal has increased to nearly $9 and the whole chicken to $14! Still, it is the best Peruvian chicken stop in MD. Location - They still don't have menus or a signboard up at all, which I find a bit annoying but they now accept credit! For you MoCoers who insist that Crisp & Juicy is the be-all and end-all, drive down to Super Chicken and be prepared to be amazed.

The dulce de leche cinnamon roll was pillowy soft and perfectly baked, with decadent dulce de leche and cream cheese frosting! It was served to me warm, and I was in cinnamon roll heaven. The only downside to this spot is that their hours aren't super consistent (you really have to check their Instagram to know when they'll be open, and even then they sometimes open a little later). I think it's worth it, though, and I'm sure they'll figure out the scheduling/all the usual growing pains. I love that they do pop-up events and that the menu is so creative and always seems to have new items available. Looking forward to returning next month to see what more they have! I definitely recommend checking out this spot if you're over on this side of town on the weekend. The food is creative and really well-made, and the people who run it are friendly and responsive. They're take-out only, but I went to Bryant St Market nearby and settled in there to eat!

Birthday cake for breakfast? Say less!…read more I've been dying to try South Block's seasonal Birthday Cake Smoothie because I'm a sucker for anything birthday cake flavored. With this week's heat wave, Thursday felt like the perfect excuse to finally treat myself. The Birthday Cake Smoothie is made with almond milk, banana, vanilla, granola, maple syrup, plant protein, and topped with a dollop of blue CocoWhip, a cherry twist, and sprinkles. I swapped the plant protein for whey protein, and it absolutely hit the spot. It was creamy, refreshing, and definitely gave me the birthday cake vibes I was hoping for without being overly sweet. I ordered ahead through the app, and my smoothie was ready right on time. I also appreciated their pickup setup. Completed orders are placed in a freezer at the counter, so you can simply grab your drink and keep it moving. Quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings. One thing I love about this location is being inside Union Market. There are plenty of places to sit if you want to enjoy your smoothie or bowl. Now, if you've ever been to Union Market on a weekend or evening, you already know finding a seat can feel like a competitive sport. But in the mornings, it's much calmer with far less foot traffic, making it a great time to visit. Price-wise, it's about the same as the South Block near my office in Arlington. Is it expensive? Sure. But honestly, that's just the reality of smoothie and açaí bowl spots these days. At least here, the quality, convenience, and fresh ingredients make it feel worth the splurge every once in a while. I'll definitely be back... especially if they bring this Birthday Cake Smoothie around again.
