A cheese enchilada platter should be a simple work of dining pleasure, and yet how often does it turn out not so. This one hit the mark. Perfectly melted, great combination of cheeses, gooey and enhanced with a piquant green sauce in every bite. Complemented by a tangy jalapeno margarita at an outdoor table in the buzzy U Street corridor, this was an easy and exceptional experience. And if you sit outdoors, your dogs are welcome!
