The Impala Pop-up
(content and images taken from Frozen Tropics)
I managed to snag a seat at the pop-up for Impala, a new Mexican restaurant coming to 1358 H Street. We've all been hearing about Impala for a while. You probably got a taste of their wares during the pop-up Tacos Impala that ran out of the Philadelphia Water Ice space. But the restaurant promises so much more than just tacos. This most recent pop-up focused on tortas, but that was hardy the only thing served. The price of admission was $40, but that included plenty of food to satiate the hungry eater, and a tasting of mescal, tequila, and rum.
The food served at Impala is not the "Mexican" food of DC that is too often Salvadorian food. This is the real deal northern Mexican food. I grew up in an area (Tulsa, Oklahoma) that offers a bunch of crappy Tex-Mex, and a bit of authentic Mexican food (mostly of the northern variety). I've also lived in Austin, Texas, so I know of what I speak.
Here you see a very well done ceviche of shrimp and tilapia. As well as a salad of cactus, jicama, cucumber, and fried kale. Lightly dressed, and as delicious as it looks. SteakTorta with bacon, chili, & queso. This was my favorite item. I will be craving it for quite a while. Crepa with mango jam, and goats milk cajeta (a sauce of sorts). I'm not a dessert person, but I very much enjoyed this. It paired well with the rum that they served.
Heist DC's Promo Video
If you haven't been to Heist yet, GO! The amount of detail they put into all of their promotional material is mirrored throughout ever inch of the venue itself. Definitely a new city favorite for me.
