Nopalito-4

El Nopalito Grill
This Silver Spring outpost isn’t your typical Mexican cantina. Head chef Ismar Reyes-Cruz invites guests to dive a little deeper into traditional cuisine by serving up innovative twists, like the signature duck tamales, or the baby lamb chops with hibiscus glaze. All the dishes pair nicely with El Nopalito's famous margaritas — which should be enjoyed out on the patio, of course.

Where: 2259 Bel Pre Road, Silver Spring; 301-598-1736.
