"This is one of my favorite spots in DC. Their yams, plantains, mac and cheese, “chicken”, and veggies are all amazing so are the sandwiches, and the little cakes and pasta salads in their fridge are convenient if you’re just stopping by quickly. The grocery store next door is also a nice place to check out. It takes around 15 20 mins for them to prepare your order, and you can take it home or eat at one of the few tables there (there’s usually space). Don’t forget to get extra hot sauce!"
