Restaurant review: Burrito Brothers
205 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C.
202-543-6835

Capitol Hill is known for prigs in suits, stumbling tourists, classic architecture and little else. It’s sure not known for its food.

Of late, a few advances have been made in the area, but in general, it’s a culinary wasteland. And don’t even try for a reasonably priced, tasty lunch.

One of the few edible establishment is Burrito Brothers, but only just. The pork is usually spiced well, and the ladies slinging tortillas are friendly. Grab a jar of hot sauce from the top of the bar to add a bit more flavor to your wrap.

The prices are reasonable, and the portions are typically oversized. The salsa bar (with jalapenos and cilantro, a nice touch) can save a dreary lunch. But the fact that it’s one of the best options in the area speaks loudly about the need for some new lunch spots.
