Lamb Enchiladas
Have you been to 11th Street in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC? It is just barely off the beaten path and good things are happening there. El Jardin is a new addition along a row of other desto spots and they are serving delicious and authentic Mexican food. Start with a smokey mezcal negroni. You’re welcome. Then: the lamb barbacoa enchiladas! Covered in a tangy sauce, the main event is packed with brisket-y, flavorful lamb and accompanied by excellent black beans and a healthy dollop of guacamole. It’s a friendly room with a nice bar and sports on the TV if you wander in solo. Check out 11th Street and El Jardin in Col Heights. It’s happening.
