@ShesSavvy Might we suggest Destino?? Our other Mexican restaurant on 4th Street NE! Same chef and beverage director as Espita.

[Espita @EspitaDC]

Thank you to everyone for coming out on our last night and all the messages and calls! Our team had so much fun. Reminder that Ghostburger is open again tomorrow for takeaway during our renovation! See you then!

[Espita @EspitaDC]

@JDotSchuyler @ShesSavvy We're so sorry. None of our servers showed up for brunch on the last day. The bar is open and takeaway is available.

I hate to say there have been so many closures it's been hard to keep up writing about them all. Here's another: @EspitaDC. But at least the owners will be opening a new restaurant in the same space shortly. https://t.co/EOESnnxPXH

On the eve of @EspitaDC's closure, re-sharing this story about the pitfalls of pegging Mexican food as cheap. We'll pay $12 for a piece of nigiri, but what about a laborious taco with perfectly cooked protein, complex salsas, and house-made tortillas? https://t.co/Wza79v7zNB

@jsidman What the f***.

[Espita @EspitaDC]

@JDotSchuyler After our last brunch this Saturday, check out the patio at our sister restaurant, Destino! Also fantastic!

[Espita @EspitaDC]

@falgallagher Have you tried Destino yet? I have it on good authority that they make a mean Mayahuel as well. 😎

[Espita @EspitaDC]

@seanldalton @markdedrick Let them know the cauliflower tacos at Las Gemelas and vegan tamal at Destino are pretty awesome!

I told @EspitaDC's Bev Director, James Simpson, that he'd basically be like the bartender on Watch What Happens Live on Bravo. Safe to say he nailed it! Thanks again, @NycciNellis!

TONIGHT! Don’t miss the #LN2 Pop-Up featuring our very own Mike Fratt and Joe Kocjan (of Las Gemelas) mixing up classic favorites with liquid nitrogen! Event starts at 7pm, walk-ins welcome.

[Espita @EspitaDC]

@HandpokeJorge We have lime wedges if anyone asks at Las Gemelas! They are limited supply so we don't serve with every order, but we'll address this with the team.

@JMHopple @BarredinDC @LaCosechaDC He did not tell the server and then immediately threatened to sue

@BarredinDC @LaCosechaDC Hey there, the guest did not let us know of an allergy and did not tell his server. We have strict protocol at Las Gemelas for allergies as our Chef has Celiac's
