And not a McDonald's in sight....

Ian and I had a late "supper" last night in Columbia Heights at Pollo Campero, the Guatemalan fast food chain that has moved into the D.C. area and soon will be seen nationwide, as they recently signed a deal with Wal-Mart to do in-store chicken shops.

Ian had the Camperitos, their chicken strip plate, with fries and a biscuit. I had the Campero chicken bowl, a mix of rice and beans with sliced chicken strips on top, plus salsa and fresh chopped cilantro. They were fine for fast food.

Next, we went two doors down to Julia's Empanadas, sneaking in just as they were closing, to get a couple of dessert empanadas. Ian had strawberry and cream cheese and I had pear with almond paste. The dessert empanadas are very artistically done to look like a little pouch and they are tied at the top with string.
