Alero Restaurant

There are a lot of more expensive restaurants in Dupont Circle, but this is one of the least expensive. And it's good. Standard Mexican fare -- enchiladas, tacos, chimichangas, tamales -- but it's all first rate and very reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and efficient, too. Mexican bears in bottles and on tap, and some very good margaritas. A great place for a family gathering or a staff celebration.
