Alero, Washington, D.C.

Saturday was a wonderfully warm day in the high 50s (and maybe even the low 60s), though the spectre of possible rain hung over the city all day long. We ventured out to brunch, intending to go to 21P near Dupont Circle, but they seemed to be closed when we got there, even though their website said they were open for lunch. Well, they were open, I guess you could say......we walked into an empty restaurant and stood there for a few minutes before leaving, and no one at all appeared from the kitchen to see who was in their dining room.

We ended up walking along Connecticut Avenue and happened upon Alero, a Mexican place, and since Tony has been craving Taco Bell, I guess Alero was his next best thing. So, that was our brunch spot.

Alero has a brunch menu for Saturdays and Sundays, so we looked both at that and the regular menu. Tony opted for the burrito Azteca a scrambled egg and ham breakfast burrito.



I had a revuelto salad with grilled chicken.



One of the nice things about Alero's brunch is they have sangre de Marias (a/k/a bloody Marys) for just $3.75 a piece.
