Alero Mexican Restaurant, Washington, D.C.

Tonight Kody and Ian took the GU Shuttle Bus from the campus and we all met up at Dupont Circle so we could wander up to Alero and have Mexican food. Mexican was Ian's idea, and we were all also curious as to whether or not there would be any employees there tonight or not, but it wasn't a problem and the food was just as good as ever. I didn't notice any impact at all from the immigration protests around the country.

While Kody drank his pitcher of margaritas, we ordered. Kody had spinach enchiladas, Ian had a chicken burrito, and I had a chicken chimichanga. Ian doesn't like guacamole, so he got it as a side instead of on his burrito, and I was the grateful recipient of another scoop of pureed avocado.

For dessert, the other two guys split a fried ice cream.

Alero, as always, is tolerable Mexican food. It's probably one of the best places in the District (we don't have that many Mexicans, but we have thousands of Salvadoreans!) for Mexican food, but it certainly doesn't compare to the food out in the Southwest. They make great margaritas, though, and they pour heavily!
