Bandit Taco, Washington DC
Bandit Taco was a fun old shoot at a spot that has since survived and rightfully so. Food was great when I was there, all the staff was fantastic, and the atmosphere is very nice and casual.

Gallery Cafe by Chef Bismarck, Dulles Metro Center, Herndon VA
Gallery Cafe was a rush from shooting Miss Toya’s with all the usual and favorite bits like the DC out loop traffic and everything, but I made it right on time and even managed to find this elusive little cafe on the P1 floor of the Dulles Metro Center building. And boy oh boy was…

Parlay’s Replacement – Blue Moon, Dupont Circle DC
It’s been eons since I’ve been down on M street NW in DC, and last place I shot here from what I recall was Bub and Pops, but this post is about a new hookah lounge called Blue Moon DC. Not to be confused with Baltimore’s Blue Moon Cafe, which is an excellent spot in…

Can’t Go Wrong Here – JR’s Pizza, Frederick MD
JR’s Pizza is definitely one of the hidden gems of Frederick, MD, and I had the pleasure of covering them twice – both times with great success and being warmly welcome. Standard menu done just right here- Some people gush on and on about great places, but some places are honest and simple enough not…

La Prensa Tacos & Tapas, Nokes Plaza, Sterling VA
La Prensa Tacos & Tapas is one of the more rare, chic, yet not pretentious tapas places and right off the bat I recommend checking them out. The shoot was done perfectly and I got to see a good half the menu or so march before me and everything looked absolutely on-point. The drinks have…

Juan More Taco FXBG, Fredericksburg VA
Juan More Taco was a hip little Mexican street food shop in the heard of the area I loathe the most aside from food offerings, and these guys being a very good example of it. Tacos, Elote, Posole – you name it!

El Rey Tolteca, Ashburn VA – moved to Manassas
Used to be in Ashburn Village Center and definitely added some festive colors to this plaza, but have since moved quite a bit further south into Manassas, VA. Easy-peasy shoot like majority of Mexican spots with colorful and flavorful fare as well as the overall decor.

Taco Bravo, Timonium MD – Better A Little Late Than Never
As usual, my email about possibly bumping this gig went into the abyss and their friendly staff hadn’t a clue about the shoot while the manager stepped out for an errand. Very well, nothing a drink won’t fix while I wait 5-10 minutes, and I’ve had far worse waits before. 15-20 later though, manager went…

George’s Steak N Things, Fairfax Station VA
George’s was a very cute American and Greek spot with lovely decor and perhaps the best grilled wings I’ve seen in quite a while.

Haydee’s Restaurant, Mt Pleasant Washington DC – Very, Very Good!
Haydees was an absolutely fantastic spot with a real Mexican cantina feel unlike majority of similar restaurants around this town that chose to modernize their vibes instead of keeping things festive. The cool part was that I shot Haydees during the era of the Aholezone trying to offer restaurant delivery and failing absolutely miserably in…

Taqueria Tres Reyes, Hyattsville MD
Taqueria Tres Reyes is an authentic Mexican and Cuban restaurant with the standard Latin fare right off of University Boulevard in Hyattsville, MD. A micro local chain I got to shoot 2 locations of and they presented slightly different dishes at least.

La Terraza, Alexandria VA
La Terraza is a superb Mexican bar and restaurant right off of King Street in Alexandria, VA. Full selection of authentic Mexican and American dishes will not leave you hungry for even a second. Nice and pleasant shoot with some real good dish presentation.

Taco Mex, Silver Spring MD
Taco Mex is a nicely decorated Mexican restaurant on the edge of Silver Spring, MD, by Briggs Chainey Road. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend trying them out! And if you are in Wheaton end of Silver Spring, check out their sister restaurant Mi Mariachi. Nice and easy shoot with a Corona…

Vegaritos, Washington DC
Vegaritos is an interesting take on Tex-Mex cuisine near Takoma Park, MD – fully vegetarian Tex-Mex! Imitation pork, beef, and chicken in burritos, tacos, and quesadillas like you’ve never had before! Definitely a very quick and easy gig, sans atrocious parking blocks away, and the food was actually very solid thanks to the good old…

Tito’s Pollo, Silver Spring MD
Tiny little Peruvian place in Silver Spring, MD. Tito’s Pollo got your chicken fix covered from whole birds to fajitas and quesadillas, and even rotisserie chicken salads. Quick and nice little shoot since Peruvian chicken spots usually focus on the never-ending rotisserie birds and lots of prepared sides, so these gigs usually go pretty smoothly…
