Ditto, and ditto. There is no similarity between current-Nicaro and former-Nicaro. My mussels at lunch last week were over-lemoned so much as to make the entire dish sour. The bread they currently have is not good. My friend's tuna burger severely gloppy with mayo. It is rather unfortunate Silver Spring has lost a finer dining option, and overall tasty spot.

Anyone had a chance to stop by the newly opened Tavern portion of GSPOT? I'll make it over there soon, but was curious if there is draft beer and cocktails (versus just bottled beer and wine), and if you can get the upstairs menu down in the tavern (along with the tavern menu).

Seems here int he latest on Nicaro's Chef Pedro's next steps... Silver Spring Singular - Nicaro, Luau Hut While Chef Pedro is opening a new place, still no word on what exactly happens with Nicaro.

A Silver Spring blog/website is reporting that Nicaro has been sold, and Pedro Matamoros is moving a few blocks away to open another restaurant. Link to Thayer Avenue blog Anyone heard anything of this? Nicaro has always had consistently good food and tasty cocktails (like the one with basil in it).

I, too, have found the food delivered to your table without appetizer-then-pizza pacing. I always make sure to order drinks, then apps, then pizza, or I get everything all at once. I'm sure they do this for quick table turnover. Still, one of my favorite places to eat (even with a 20+ minute wait at 10pm on a Friday).

I stopped into Taqueria today as well, and enjoyed my pineapple agua fresca. However, I was less than thrilled with my chicken taco. If my memory serves me correctly, they used to put cilantro and onion on their chicken tacos. Today, it was only greasy chicken on the corn tortillas and nothing else. I haven't been there in a few months, but the chicken seemed greasier and lacking in flavor today. Fortunately, their green salsa made up for the lack in flavor.

I, too, think the frosting on the cupcakes are very sweet, especially the vanilla/buttermilk ones. The frosting seems to overwhelm (in both amount and sweetness) the fairly nice, basic and moist cake underneath. The chocolate ganache seems less sweet than the buttermilk/vanilla option.

Moorenko's Ice Cream Cafe - Reopen in Silver Spring
JoyS replied to johnb's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
*Extreme* long-time lurker feeling the need to post due to excitement over the Silver Spring Moorenkos seemiingly open. While stopping by Mayorga last evening, Moorenkos had all the lights on (including outside neon sign), tables set up, workers hustling about, and the board with flavors written up. Saw one of the workers locking the door at 9pm.
