When you see the skeleton engravings, you know you've arrived at
one of Georgetown's newest innovations, a creative but studiously authentic Mexican
restaurant in a city where there has long been a dearth of them. While the skeletons
provide the art, beef-tongue tacos and chunky tamales color the menu.
The tortillas are made in-house in full view of the tables, and the nutty
mole
sauce
spread over chicken is a giveaway $9.

;
6009 12th Ave S; pizza from $10; 11am-11pm Mon-
Thu, to midnight Fri, 4pm-midnight Sat, 3-10pm Sun; 124)
This small Seattle-founded
chain operates in four of the city's hipper sanctums (including Capitol Hill and Fre-
mont) plus a couple of foreign enclaves (NYC and Portland). It deals not in pizzas but
pizze
: crisp-crusted Italian pies that are true to the food's Neapolitan roots.
The extensive wine list is 90% Italian and offers some good accompaniments to
pizza - try the sparkling red Lambrusco. Come during happy hour (4pm to 6pm) for $5
pizze
and $3 beer.
