Traditional guacamole - El Centro D.F.
Avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, chile serrano. $10
El Centro D.F., Washington DC

I did not like this guacamole at all! There was a sharpness and odd flavor that I couldn’t identify. I appreciated that they finished the guacamole tableside, but I would have preferred less of a show and more of a better product.

Pumpkin ravioli – District Commons

Pumpkin ravioli - District Commons
Sage brown butter, amaretto crumble. $15
District Commons, Washington DC

This had great flavors and I liked the sage brown butter, but I thought that the whole thing was a bit dry. You can even see that the ravioli pasta was dry and starting to curl up at the edges. Perhaps the plate sat under the warmer too long – the service WAS a bit slow.
