At Zubi’s Taco & Bar, strangers strike up conversations and maybe even exchange numbers by the end of the night. The strong drinks and upbeat soundtrack (of R&B, jazz, and house) probably help. As do the friendly servers who seem to know everyone at the bar by name. But you’re more likely to make a new friend at this compact College Park Mexican restaurant than you are to remember the tacos—pulled beef and chicken could use a bit more seasoning, but they get the job done. The real standout on the menu is the Trio Dip with guac, queso, and salsa. Instead of basic chips, you get soft, pillowy fried tortillas with crisp edges, kind of like a sopapilla. On nice days, head to the huge, string-lit patio, which is just as good a spot to snack, sip, and strike up conversation.
