This cheese is on fire!!!!! For once, we were not the most flaming thing at the table. While it wasn’t the most amazing guac we’ve ever tasted, it was delicious and tied us over as we waited for the next dishes. It only added a small hint that barely registered with our taste buds, but it added to the nice presentation. What made this a bit more unusual was the addition of black olive powder on top of the Guacamole. Served with thick, warm chips, this hit the right spot. We were starving and already drinking, so this arrived just in time. Tico Guacamole (4/5 NOMs)Īfter a recommendation from our awesome waiter, we decided to start with the signature Tico Guacamole for $14. But make sure that you are not obnoxious to others.

Low light is an enemy of good pictures, so if you want to take some, make sure to bring an external light. The other thing that will make you fall in love with this place is the romantic atmosphere and giant, graffiti-covered walls. Tico also offers an all-you-can-eat brunch, which we will check out and review soon enough. However, Tico’s great dinner menu, strong drinks, and amazing desserts might change my mind.

Now, before you say what we always tell ourselves about tapas (Tapas are too expensive! Tapas are not enough food!), let us concede that all of those things are true. We want to welcome you to an amazing world of Spanish and Mexican tapas at a modern and artsy restaurant named Tico, located on U Street in Washington D.C.
