Places to eat in Washington D.C.

I haven't been to the Houston's down here, but I went to one up in Jersey (not sure if it's a chain) but I liked it. You might also want to look into 3rd Edition on Wisconsin, which I liked the few times I went there. For Mexican food, I like Cactus Cantina and Guapo's both on Wisconsin. Paper Moon is an Italian place (right off of M St., I want to say on 31st, but I could be a block off) which I really like and is in your price range, so if you're in the mood for Italian, that's my recommendation.

EDIT: And yeah, I go to GU.

Guapo's is not as good as Cactus. Cactus has great food, but look out, b/c there will be a lot of families and little kids there. It's a great neighborhood place (and it's in the "nice" part of DC).

I would go to Adam's Morgan though if I were you. Less touristy than gtown and still has a bunch of good places.
