What are some Spanish/ Latin American restaurants?

I have to do a summer project for my Spanish 3 class and one part of it is to find a restaurant that serves Latin/Spanish food. It can NOT be a chain restaurant like Taco Bell, Chipotle, etc. Any restaurant in DC, MD,or VA would be great. Thanks for all help!What are some Spanish/ Latin American restaurants?

Consider this one for what appears to be an authentic Spanish Restaurant located in Wash DC:

I googled "authentic Spanish Restaurant" and this one popped up. The menu is very much Spanish (cuisine typical of Spain)....(not to be confused with Mexican or Brazilian charruscarria type restuarants)



If it was in Los Angeles, this one is really good and as authentic as you can find. Here's the link if you want to look at this as FYI, and compare menus with the above link too:

Typical Spanish cuisine are:

Paella (rice dish)

Tapas (various types of appetizer size dishes)

Spanish tortilla (similar to an Italian Frittata....and not to be confused with the Mexican style corn or flour tortilla. Google "spanish tortilla" to get some recipes and images)



HTH!
