Empanada tucumana - Rural Society
This empanada was delicious! The shredded beef belly was SO tender and juicy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and perfect. I wish I had stayed and tried more food but I was in a rush and just ducked in for a quick snack.

Valrhona chocolate amargo & lemon ricotta cardamom gelato – Dolcezza

Valrhona chocolate amargo & lemon ricotta cardamom gelato - Dolcezza
Small $5.45
Dolcezza, Washington DC

Well, this was good but not worth the high price tag. I was a little surprised because food in general was cheaper in DC than in SF, but for some reason Dolcezza seems to charge more for their gelato. The flavors were good, but I wasn’t amazed by the texture and probably won’t be running back for more.

Falafel sandwich – Amsterdam Falafelshop

Falafel sandwich - Amsterdam Falafelshop
3 pieces falafel on white pita. Small $5.55
Amsterdam Falafelshop, Washington DC

Omg, I loved this place and totally think we need one in California! The ingredients were great and you could add anything you wanted as toppings. Just choose the number of falafel balls and type of pita and then you’re off to the toppings bar. The sandwich was delicious and all the ingredients were first-rate. Noms!
