Several Hyattsville restaurants have gotten attention in recent days, adding to the area’s growing reputation as a foodie haven.

Shagga Coffee and Restaurant in Hyattsville again made the Washingtonian‘s list of the Best Cheap Eats in the D.C. area, earning praise for its “culinary exuberance” and a “a more varied menu than many other Ethiopian spots in the area.”

Just up the road in Hyattsville, Taqueria El Mexicano got similar praise on the list for being a cut above. “No other restaurant in Washington serves Mexican soul food like this unassuming place,” the Washingtonian noted, praising the restaurant’s daily specials.

The taqueria also earned praise from the Washington Post last year, which praised its mole poblano in reverent terms.

Meantime, the Washingtonian also highlighted Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store on a separate list of great kid-friendly restaurants in the D.C. area.

“The jam-packed shop features a rainbow of candies, tons of toys, and endless tchotchkes that will somehow end up in the shopping basket – plus beer, wine and hot sauce for mature patrons,” it said.

Across the street, Senegalese restaurant Chez Dior got a shoutout from the Washington City Paper for a dish on its kids’ menu: “spaghetti and hot dog with cheese.”
