A new bar/restaurant is taking over the old El Pollito space on 23rd Street in Crystal City.
The place will be called “Mudbug,” according to a state alcoholic beverage application advertised today in the Washington Post.
What Mudbug will serve is anyone’s guess, but the word mudbug is a Creole slang term for crawfish. That seems indicative of a Louisiana/Cajun theme (sounds familiar, right?).
One of the business’ principals, Measar Saengplai, is a bartender at Rosslyn’s Cafe Asia, according to his Linked In page.

I really miss El Pollito. Hope Mudbug is good, but now I have to drive to Senior Chicken in Alexandria.
I liked Senior Chicken better when he was a Sophomore a couple years back. Now he’s too full of himself.
Do they only serve old chickens, or is it possible the establishment is “Señor Chicken”?
Am I the only one who finds “Mudbug” (significance notwithstanding) to sound remarkably unappetizing?
I can only hope it’s Cajun; that’s a cuisine that’s lacking in Arlington.
Sounds interesting.
Always down for more options in the neighborhood!
