The Chef
Enrique Limardo
Chef and co-founder of Seven Reasons Group. Since 2019 he has built five restaurants across Washington, DC and Arlington — among them Michelin-starred Imperfecto — cooking a Latin American kitchen that takes the food seriously and the dining room a good deal less so.
Our Story
Excellence, without the stuffiness.
Enrique Limardo founded Seven Reasons Group in 2019 with Ezequiel Vázquez-Ger. It has grown into one of Washington's most celebrated dining collectives — Michelin recognition, national acclaim, and a refusal to take the joy out of a great meal.
