I don’t know how I’ve lived in D.C. for so many years and I just learned about Zengo this past weekend. Located in the Chinatown district of D.C., this “Modern Mexican” restaurant is so fun, so swanky — and so delicious. You feel chic just sitting at the bar. I went there for drinks with girlfriends on Friday night, and loved it so much I was back again for dinner on Saturday night!
If you are looking for a hip spot for your rehearsal dinner, Zengo is the place to go. The private dining area is glass enclosed, and the event menu embraces the spirit of the name — “Zengo” means “give and take” in Japanese. Plates are meant to be shared, each person receives multiple small courses, and the dinner menus range from $60 to $85 per person. The private dining room can accommodate up to 35 guests, while the main dining room seats up to 140 for a plated dinner. It is definitely worth looking into — and make sure to order a mango mojito while you’re there!
