Bites Nearby: La Tasca
You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.

La Tasca is Chinatown D.C. offers a great escape to Spain for tapas and sangria.
The best thing about tapas is you can try a bit of everything and eat until you're full and wash it all down with a very fruity drink.
Things I would suggest you try from their menu:
