Washington, DC favorite: Tico

I am a big foodie, and I love taking pictures of my food. There’s something magical about snapping the perfect photo — not only because it looks nice but also because I know I’ll remember this moment later. One of Josh’s and my favorite ways to bond is to try new restaurants. Granted, his appetite is much bigger than mine, but I still try to keep up with him. On one Saturday night, he took me to Tico in DC because he trains with one of the Managers — Jason (who is awesome!!). Jason gave us the ultimate experience by picking out what we should try. It was amazing! I’m going to do my best to get some of the dishes’ names right, but just know that if you can only go to ONE restaurant while in DC, I’d recommend this place. The atmosphere, service, and food are some of the best (if not the best!) I’ve ever experienced. Take a look at the photos as proof!

I remember starting off with these deviled eggs, thinking “How great could deviled eggs be?” and I was 100% overwhelmed by these. Like are deviled eggs ever that good? Not normally, but these were perfectly cooked and the texture of the topping essentially melted as you ate it. There was a bit of spice as well, which I loved! (Note to self: get better at reviewing food because I’m not doing this justice.)

This was Tuna Ceviche, another item I didn’t know I would like as much as I did.

A girl and her fresh juice – a love story. Can’t remember how many different flavors I tried, but this was definitely cucumber and definitely my favorite.

To be honest, the food kept coming and I couldn’t keep up with what everything was. But look at these colors! This dish was amazing too.

Well, I will say — no matter how many plates this girl is served, she always remembers the tacos. I instagrammed this photo. It was special.

More delicious food (octopus to the right!) & me trying another juice. Surprised?

This was Josh’s favorite dish. I know it’s got some kind of beef and it was also incredible. The detail is unreal.

I believe this was a grapefruit drink (non-alcoholic) — super fresh! They had so many different options!

Aaaaand yes, we tried three desserts. Yes, they were all delicious.

I’m really mad at myself because I can’t remember the name of this one/it might not be on their menu anymore, but it was equally incredible.

Churros Con Dulce – Do I even have to describe this one?

Tres Leches Cake — I wish you could try this right now.

That’s all the photos I have, so I guess I’ll just have to go back again to take some more ; ) Cannot recommend this place enough! Please go!

  16. Throughout the great scheme of things you actually secure an A+ just for hard work. Where exactly you lost me personally was first on the facts. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true right here. Having said that, let me reveal to you what did deliver the results. The writing is definitely rather engaging and that is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can see the leaps in logic you come up with, I am not really sure of how you seem to unite your details which in turn help to make the final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but wish in the future you link the facts better.
