Three brothers and a brother-in-law from El Salvador realized their long-held dream of opening a restaurant together in November of last year. Jaime Sorto, his brothers Hugo and Jose Bonilla, and his brother-in-law Jose Zelaya looked for a name that symbolizes their concept of two cultures coming together.They chose La Malinche, the name given to a historical figure who has been at the center of controversy for centuries. The noble Mexican woman was enslaved and given to Hernán Cortés, a Spanish conquistador. She became his interpreter and confidante. Their son was viewed as the first mestizo, a child of mixed blood.Many Mexicans consider La Malinche or Doña Marina to have been a traitor, but today, she is also honored as the symbolic mother of the country’s mixed-race people.At La Malinche, all of the starters, vegetables, meats and seafood are served as Spanish tapas, called botanas in Mexico.

What a great place to dine! I have been hearing about Chef Tobias and the Honcho House for a long time. Living in Bmore, I don't make many treks to DC to dine, but I was definitely up for the experience. Drinks were great. My friend loved the Dragonfruit Margarita. We both ordered the Chesapeake and while I could see my reflection in my bowl, my girl opted to take hers home. If this was brunch, I'm definitely returning for dinner. #HappyDining #HappyEats

The soup of the day was black bean soup which was recommended. So delicious and warm on a cold rainy night. Sat too close to the door and felt it every time the door opened. The soup and cocktail helped warm the soul.
