Supposed to be a tapas place, I have yet to go. It cannot help but elevate the quality of McLean dining options.

It doesn’t have to be real Spanish food, it only has to be “Spanish food by the standards of Burke.” They have Mexican dishes as well.

A bit of Spanish, but arguably Pan-European as well. Not this region’s comparative strength.

Sol de Espana

Sol de Espana, web site, 838-C Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, 240-314-0202 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Washingtonian | City Paper | Don Rockwell | openlist | Yelp | Gayot]
A new Spanish place, from the former managers of Andalucia, in Bethesda. In other words, they had to lower their rent, so they reinvented their place. The core problem is that our Taberna is one of the best Spanish restaurants in the world outside of Spain. So why visit the others? But if you do, get the shellfish.

La Tasca, web site (music), 722 Seventh Street NW, Washington, DC, right across from the MCI / Verizon Center, 202-347-9190 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Washingtonian | WaPo | City Paper | openlist | Yelp]
Also a branch in Arlington, near Whole Foods, 2900 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA, 703-812-9120
I like the cheese plate, and a few dishes, but most of the tapas are mediocre. A place where yuppies go to drink.
