We love Huacatay! It's only two blocks away, and it has great Peruvian food - mostly rotisserie chicken with sides..but other things as well. You can pick it up and bring it home or eat it at their cute little restaurant. It's also really affordable!

I probably should fact check this, but I've heard that DC has the most Ethiopian restaurants of any city outside of Ethiopia. It's fun to eat at any of the Ethiopian restaurants. We like to take friends because of a new experience.
