Behind the Scenes at Columbia Pike’s Favorite Restaurants

In honor of Columbia Pike’s bicentennial, the county-run Arlington Virginia Network has been profiling residents’ favorite off-the-beaten-path restaurants on the Pike.

Among the places featured is Abi’s Azteca Grill (3005 Columbia Pike), a Mexican/El Salvadorian restaurant that’s one of several serving up muy auténtico Latin and South American cuisine on the Pike.

Also featured is Dama Restaurant (1503 Columbia Pike), a family owned and operated Ethiopian eatery near the Air Force Memorial. The well-reviewed restaurant has been called the best Ethiopian spot in the D.C. area.
