Colombians in DC area

[Smoke_Jaguar4]

My coworker is a Colombiana. We've gone up to an enclave of Colombian restaurants and bodegas near Georgia and Eastern Ave NW (just south of Silver Springs). We work at an entity of the Organization of American States, where 1/2 of our staff is from South America. A lot of them live up near the Rockville, MD area; primarily Colombians, Peruvians, and Argentines. Hope this helps.

Looking for neighborhoods where more folks from her country live, also restaurants, etc.

Does D.C. metro have a "Little Colombia" area like NYC does?

I did some research and saw that Fairfax and Montgomery counties would work, but couldn't find anything more specific than that.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't think there is one place which qualifies as a "Little Colombia", but I knew Colombian families living in Silver Spring, MD and Alexandria, VA. Some of the Colombians I knew were pretty well-established and quite "Americanized".
