Is Amparo Fondita worth it?

Smart Spend. Harry scores Amparo Fondita 81/100 for quality and 76/100 on the Worth It scale for Washington. No paid placements, no affiliate links — just the arithmetic.

The pedigree here is real: an Eater 38 slot plus a Michelin Bib Gourmand is a meaningful double, and the review numbers back it up rather than contradict it — Google's 4.4 over 356 ratings, Yelp a bit cooler at 4.2 over 124, both pointing the same direction. The soft spot is Tripadvisor, just 12 reviews at 4.1, which tells you this is a local and critic-driven following rather than a tourist-trail stop. For Mexican in this price range in DC, that's a legitimate, broadly agreed-upon recommendation, not a hyped one.

One card, one verdict. Pulled from current data, not a stale snapshot. Want the methodology? How Harry scores.
