Just to let you know: I now have a new "favorite restaurant" in Chevy Chase. It's Señor Pepper Mexican Restaurant on Connecticut Avenue. I like this restaurant so much that I've been there for dinner three times in the last two weeks. (well, I had to check to see if their iced tea was really ridiculously weak or if it was just an accident the first time I wentit was two trips later, the iced tea was brewed to its normal strength) I was getting kind of annoyed by folks who think Mexican food is limited to greasy beans and burritos...its NOT an oxymoron to think of Mexican food as upscale...that being said, I really like Señor Pepper and think you will too. The chef does an excellent job and the food can be compared to some of the regional restaurants I've been to in Mexico. The food is delicious, big portioned, and decently priced. Their salsa is delicious. Ceviche is great. The tamal de elote is particularly tasty. Great place for a date or a larger group. Service has always been good. Their choice of tequilas are extensive, but a bit pricey. Overall, Señor Pepper is one of the few Mexican restaurants in the DC Area with extensive and authentic Mexican dishes.
