Lauriol plaza - Washington DC

Mexico is far from DC, hot sauce and all. But some close substitutes are taking shape. Lauriol, with marguerita and sangria specials, has some basic dishes that satisfy the crave.

As you walk in to the large multileveled restaurant and are greeted with life size cardboard figurines of the Obama's, chips and salsa flying all around, head to the upstairs covered outdoor area.

A special for the week, a Mahi mahi, seared then sautéed in a garlic butter sauce with mushrooms, scallops and baby shrimp:


A casual environment for a bit of mexican inspired flavors...
