Fast Gourmet at Lowest Best Price gas<\/strong>, web site<\/a>, 1400 W Street NW, Washington, DC<\/a>, 202-448-9217 (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [WaPo<\/a> | Washingtonian<\/a> | City Paper<\/a> | Don Rockwell<\/a> | Yelp<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Yes, Uruguayan in a gas station. Furthermore they have the best sandwich I\u2019ve eaten in the Washington area, ever. Get the chivito. Wikipedia<\/a> defines it thus: “Chivito is the name of a sandwich-style national dish in Uruguay, and consists primarily of a thin slice of filet mignon (churrasco beef), with mayonnaise, black or green olives, mozzarella, tomatoes and commonly also bacon, fried or hardboiled eggs and ham. It is served in a bun, often with a side of French fries.” It\u2019s not actually goat as the name would suggest.<\/p>\n

The empanadas<\/a> I thought were quite authentic, everything else looked good. It\u2019s a fun place to sit, and it actually has a very nice interior. For hangout value I give it at least a nine out of ten. It\u2019s not super cheap for a sandwich ($13 for the chivito) but a unique experience with quality at every step. <\/p>\n

Definitely recommended.<\/p>\n
