(The White House near the White House)

I’ve eaten at Casa Blanca at Vermont Avenue and K Street several times. The restaurant serves both Mexican and Peruvian cuisines. I have ordered from the Peruvian menu each time, although my friend raved about the enchiladas. I will try the enchiladas or burritos on my next visit.

I’ve tried the arroz con pollo ($6.25), the chicharron con yucca ($6.95), and the pollo saltado ($7.95). The arroz con pollo consisted of chicken and rice with salad. The chicharron consisted of fried chunks of pork with fried yucca. Pollo saltado included chunks of chicken, red onions and tomatoes, and is served with French fries and rice.

This restaurant serves fresh and tasty food at inexpensive prices. It is a good option for either dining in or takeout. The last time I was there, which was Friday around 1pm, the restaurant was packed.

The first picture is of the the chicharron con yuca, while the second is of my friend's enchiladas.

A slightly outdated version of Casa Blanca’s menu is available at http://washingtondc.menupages.com.
