Well Uptown has FINALLY received the Mexican restaurant it has needed for so long!!! Totopo (Aztec for chips...) opened today. Stopped in for lunch and the place was already busy without so much as a balloon launch or spotlight in the sky. I was promptly greeted by a super friendly staff person who sat my party down in the festively decorated bar area. I ordered a 'pick two' combo (could have picked three but not that hungry) option. One has a choice of tamales, stuffed poblano, etc. etc. I ordered the tamales southern style and northern style with cheese. You also pick two sides so I had a cilantro rice dish and black beans w/ cheese. Everything was fresh and amazing. The black beans were clearly NOT from a can but the good dried variety. My friend ordered the chicken tacos and they looked awesome/authentic. Other friend had a grilled chicken burrito and he was very happy! Everyone received free chips and fresh salsa. Looking around I see a whole bunch of other meals I need to try. Oh, and they have a pretty amazing happy hour from 4-6p... Between this and Jade Grille I will never go hungry along Washington Road!
