Pascual is a must-visit spot for traditional yet innovative Mexican food in DC. The small, intimate restaurant offers fast, inviting service with delicious dishes like lobster quesadilla, beef tartare, and lamb shoulder. The beautiful interior creates a comfortable dining experience, while the variety of small plates ensures a delightful meal worth the wait for reservations. Guests can enjoy street parking and outdoor seating available in a cozy tent in front. The menu features shared plates such as guacamole with tostadas, Taco al pastor with roasted piña, and Chayote salad with sunflower seeds, guajillo oil, and Asian pears. Dishes like Fideos negros, with huitlacoche, mushroom, and black garlic, and roasted oysters with brown butter and dark lager are highly recommended. The restaurant also offers special drinks like the Marigold Toddy and Carajillo shakeado, alongside a crisp Mexican white wine. Service is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance inside is simple yet inviting, with a cozy bar and well-designed restrooms downstairs. Pascual provides a memorable experience with flavors that evoke Mexico and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
