We are giving out free Coffeemate Irish creamer's this weekend to celebrate St. Patty's Day. Come and get. We are not sure yet how we will celebrate Purim this week, but we'll let you know.

Our banana splits include 3 scoops of ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream, banana and sometimes a cherry. (Our ice cream angel, Gale gets another pair of wings each time someone buys one.)

Friday's special is a spinach, fried plantain and red onion quesadilla served with brown rice, pico de gallo and sour cream. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wednesday's special is a reason to get up in the morning. Lentils served with fried plantains, spinach and onions with brown rice, yogurt sauce and sliced egg.

Tuesday's special is stuffed red bell peppers baked with spinach, black beans, brown rice and cheese served with yogurt sauce and salad.

This Spring we will be using part of the Dos Gringos patio to start our container garden so we can grow some of our own herbs and veggies.

And yes, we are having French conversation(10-noon) and Spanish Intercambios Saturday (1-2pm). And I am just saying people are enjoying themselves during these gatherings.

Today's special is spinach, portabello mushroom, red peppers and onions served over brown rice with sliced egg and salad.

It's hard for our banana muffins and chocolate chip muffins that just came out of the over to stay warm today, but if you hurry, they might be.

Here's your public service announcement, Mt. P: Rock-n-Roll marathon is Saturday and you will probably exhibit frustration if you are trying to drive out of Mt. Pleasant and Adams Morgan in the morning. Come get a coffee and a later start with us and don't be an exhibitionist.

Chilly? Chili. Today's special is homemade cornbread topped with veggie chili, melted cheese and sour cream served with salad.

Today's special is roasted zucchini, red peppers, carrots and onions served with brown rice, grilled tofu and salad.

Most folks consider us to be a vegetarian cafe because we have so many vegetarian and vegan options, but others come for our crazy deli meat sandwiches. We''ve got a pastami, avocado and chipotle cole slaw sandwich, a salami and avocado sandwich with mustard, roasted peppers, lettuce and Dos Gringos dressing and then the classic turkey primo avocado which has everything our primo avocado sandwich has plus turkey.

When did we become the afternoon study place?

We've got different burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are not particular when you want to eat them, but we are particular when ordering, so let us know which one you would like. Thanks!

Today's special is dressed for the weather. Kale, black bean and sweet potato burrito with melted cheese and sour cream served with salad. Want more? Add beef, jalapenos and avocado.

How about a bowl of soup? We just made a vegetable with farfelle soup with carrots, peas, red peppers, celery and bow tie pasta. Salt, pepper, a pinch of cumin, paprika, garlic and corriender and a heavy hand of oregano.

Today's special is roasted sweet potato with carrots, celery, red peppers, onions and spinach served with brown rice, sliced egg and salad

Mmmm, we just made delicious chocolate banana bread and pineapple muffins.

Want a power snack? What about a cup of our veggie chili. It's got 3 types of beans, mushrooms, pepper, onions, textured vegetable protein and chipotle. It costs $4, tasty hot or cold and easy to eat on the go.

Big thanks from small business

This is what Dos Gringos is about.
