Guapo's
Guapo's has pulled out the stops for Cinco de Mayo for the last several years, and they have another great one planned for this year. Once again, they will have what I think is a must for a Mexican holiday - a live mariachi band. For those preferring a more modern sound, they will also have a DJ in the evening. In addition, they'll have a tiki bar, food and bar specials, and prizes.

Tía Queta
They've also got a rooftop deck, which is perfect for the spring weather.
4839 Del Ray Avenue
Parva
As a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar, Parva is not surprisingly ready to party tonight. DJ Leo Vega will be spinning until 9:00 tonight, when DJ Pootie will take over through the early morning hours. By then, you'll likely have partaken from the specials of $2 tacos, $3 quesadillas, $5 margaritas, and $6 Patron.

Gringos & Mariachis

Uncle Julio's

"Where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Bethesda is the question to be answered here."
ReplyDeleteAtrocious writing.
"I will update or add any details they email to me..."
Laziest "journalist" ever.
A good journo breaks news and then updates, right?
Delete5:35: Congratulations on winning the Idiot of the Day Award for being a pedestrian writer who bashes anybody who is better than he is, and for suggesting I should invent Cinco de Mayo specials that don't exist. Your "resentment" is obvious.
Delete"Budweiser craft beer"
ReplyDeleteLOL
"Looking forward to trying that one, despite the 65 rating average on Beer Advocate."
What a shill.
5:42: What an elitist.
DeleteTia Queta has a great rooftop deck.
ReplyDeleteDYER IS THE BIGGEST FOOL OF ALL TIME
ReplyDelete1:31: A bigger fool than the guy who doesn't even know how to work the Caps Lock button?

ReplyDeleteOf all time? That's quite a sweeping statement.
What's "elitist" about preferring to drink good Mexican beer when going to a Mexican restaurant, rather than crappy American beer? Would you eat Pop-Tarts in a French bakery?
ReplyDeleteNo one is saying you should "invent" anything - you just love to miss the point, don't you? There is more to journalism than just sitting back and waiting news to be emailed to you.
Would you eat a pop tart at Ted's Bulletin?
Delete3:21: "There is more to journalism than just sitting back and waiting [for] news to be emailed to you." Try telling that to the local media. Meanwhile, I've actually published investigative reports on fuel spills, brownfield cover-ups, government and political corruption and shenanigans, just to name a few. Real journalism.
DeleteAnybody who criticizes a beer just because Budweiser makes it - rather than on its own merits - is being elitist, in my opinion.

Only if they are Freedom-Tarts.
Maybe you'll win a Putziler Prize for Beerghazi.
ReplyDeleteDyer, you point on Budweiser is fair if speaking strictly from a taste perspective, but choosing to support Budweiser as a business is more than just a reflection of taste. You (and everyone else here) should watch the documentary Beer Wars to learn about the crappy practices that Budweiser's parent corporation engages in.
ReplyDeleteSupport local independent businesses like Flying Dog, Atlas, DC Brau, Dogfish Head (not that local, but close enough), etc.
I think your fair-mindedness in assessing a draft is one of many cool things about you.
ReplyDeleteI am one of the multitude that said something that well, now I see. It pretty much doesn't get more offensive. And I wish to truly apologize, Mr. Dyer.
Perhaps I am the one with a problem, as I truly did not think anything offensive or negative in what I stated. I guess I see and think pretty differently at times. But I should have thought about what I would think and feel if I had been the recipient.
I'm well sorry my short-sightedness inadvertently slammed you to kingdom come.
You know, even if what I said had been true, you would still head and shoulders above these haters.
You are professional, and you don't have to tell me that my error affects me far more than it could ever affect you. I know. I just hope for a bit of your fortitude and wisdom. In the best of all worlds, forgiveness.
There is nothing the matter with you, Sir. And these heads of households priding themselves in their ability to repeat the same inane slams week after week. They should consider what life is really about. And if anybody is dumb enough to love them anyway, they should be thankful and try to do something positive with what time they've been given.
Anyway. Keep up the great work. You have won my respect.

Word salad. Is this one of Dyer's fellow passengers on the short bus?
9:47: I wouldn't think you'd want to remind people of your previous hate speech regarding children with disabilities.
DeletePlease take your pants off your head, and tell your shill that he's fooling absolutely no one.
ReplyDelete4:31: As Hans Riemer's overpaid shill, you're not fooling anybody yourself, knucklehead.
