1425 Aliceanna St
Baltimore, MD 21231
(410) 534-7296
Located in a old warehouse that has been lavisly revamped into a huge Spanish style hacienda. The ceilings are lofty and adorned with voluptious Spanish chandeliers. The first floor has several half moon low back plushy seatings, graciously inspired by a Mediterranean flare. This place is creatively pleasing to the eyes in more way than you can immagine. Well how so? Well, this is where Baltimore good looking list frequent to quench their thirst, savoring those perfectly concocted coktails that will land you straight on the floor. Professionals from around the city tend to gravitate to the allure and sexiness of Pazo.
The bar offers some of the largest most thought out cocktail list in the city, with a tad of appeal for just about anyone. The bartenders aim to please and will mix whatever concoction your mind might immagine. It is unreservedly exciting to be in a well conceived atmosphere that serves to an unambigious duality, and that is to serve some phenomenal Mediterranean/ Spanish Fare and attrack the sexiest in the city to hop to some beat thumping music on the weekends.
My last visit's experience was superb!
I must point out the lighly battered eggplant (and I am not an eggplant person lover, whatsoever), deliciously crispy on the outside and a pleasantly surpprising soft inside, the eggplant practicaly melts aways in your mouth giving your taste buds an orgasmic experience ( I am talking about eggplant!). Next is the ceviche with Jicama wich is just formidable, deliciously sinful. I have had plenty ceviche in my lifetime and this one tops them all. It is just so light and summery. Generally speaking ceviche tends to be overly lemony, this one as is paired with the Jicama escapes such fault. The wood grilled lamb chop I must admit is a big tease, melts in your mouth and leaves you high and dry wishing for more. To top my experience is most definitively the best dish I had that night and that is the lamb sausage ravioli, perfectly lightly cooked and sprinkled with a delicious light sauce.
Overall the food here at Pazo is confortably Mediterranean with meticulous thought to detail in every aspect, from techniche to presentation. It leaves you desiring for more or to try more, but essentially satisfying the most complex Mediterranean palates out there.

Pollo Campero
1355 E. University Blvd
Takoma Park, MD 20912
(301) 408-0555
Probably one of the best latin chicky you will ever have.
I first heard of Campero from a Salvadorenan friend who always commented of the many latinos bringing into the airplanes ridiculous amounts of chicken on board and having the plane smell like the chicken.
Well, when the first campero opened close to 7 Corners VA, (where there is a high population of latinos), the lines were so long for weeks that I waited a couple of months to go and check the place out.
At last I was hooked!!
I must say Popeyes, KFC do not compare.
It is definitively better if eaten hot in the establishment!!

Ethiopic Restaurant
401 H St N E
Washington, DC 20002
(202) 675-2066
Category: Ethiopian
Neighborhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast
11/19/2010 2 Check-ins Here
This is the first and only Ethiopian restaurant on the H st corridor.
The place is very airy and tastefully decorated. A large bar sits at the end of the main dining room, where any "poison" of your liking could be put together. They also offer a great selection of Ethiopian beers (that can be quite potent).
The service is phenomenal, I love it when the waiter has a great smile and is friendly and knowledgiable of what they serve and make adequate recommendations on what you like and not on what they like.
Beware!!! Ethiopian food can be quite spicy (something I love), you can let your waiter/ress know of how much heat you can handle.
As they just recently opened and they do not have an appetizer list yet, they serve a lovely aromatic bread with some lovely dipey spicey olive oil on the house. For dinner my friend and I ordered the Awaze tibs, wich is mandatory (at least for me) to have it with as much hot spice as my body can handle. We also shared the vegetarian platter for one. Needless to say the portions are huge, we could have fed at least four people with our food. I have visited many Ethiopian places in DC and the one and only in Baltimore and I must say this is one of the best ones I have been so far.
The meat from the tibs was chunky and flavorfull, none of the ultra mushy shredded beef stuff that can be served in other places. The vegetarian platter was an array of lentils, collard greens, tomatoe salad and a few other wonderfully flavored vegetables. A nice bottle of Tej, Ethiophian honey wine is also imperative.
For desert we were greated with a lovely flan on the house...I mean extremely nice of them and exquisite!! Almost as good as my mother's.
I read a review on here about this place not being really for children, just because they opted to leave their kids behind and wanted quiet time. Given the right time, families come here as well a young couples out on a lovely date. It is a very mix ambiance, and that is one of the great things that make this place appealing. Night out or family dinner...it doesn't matter, this place is great!
