Price: 5.9 Atmosphere: 6.2 Taste: 7.3 Overall: 6.68 Michaela’s Review: Happy Social Distancing readers! To say we have taken a brief hiatus isn’t even accurate.

Taco City DC
Price: 4.9 Atmosphere: 6.9 Taste: 5.4 Overall: 5.65 Michaela’s Review: At approximately 12:00pm on the day of review, Kevin Kelley revealed that he was walking to Cornercopia for lunch.

El Bebe
Price: 4.2 Atmosphere: 7.3 Taste: 5.95 Overall: 5.85 Michaela’s Review: Gentrification carries with it a certain negative connotations. Displacement, cultural shifts, increasing prices etc. are products of this movement sweeping across Southeast DC. Which, like, isn’t necessarily ideal. But you know what is ideal?

Tio Javier
Price: 2.3 Atmosphere: 7.7 Taste: 5.2 Overall: 5.1 (Note: The Tacos appear larger in the photo than in real life) Michaela’s Review: I've been told I've been a little sassy in these reviews and some concerned coworkers fear that I may be banned from some of the restaurants to which I am offering negative reviews....
