Great restaurant with great customer service. The place had a really fun vibe and staff were great in helping us out with food selections. The food was really good and you can have spice selection to your taste. Really great value for the money.

After being sat we were brought chips and salsa, however after 10 minutes we had to ask someone who our server was as we were never helped. The food tasted good and came out pretty quick after we ordered. Atmosphere is pretty loud so a bit difficult to have conversation. When making payment the server has to stand and watch you make your tip which always makes me uncomfortable. The first option for tip was also 22% which to me is pretty high for the “expected”. Prices are to be expected of a downtown restaurant. 2 margaritas and 2 entrees was roughly $80

The atmosphere is nice, the food is amazing, but after coming here for weeks you’ll notice a certain type of people who frequent the restaurant, always acting crazy, who have no manners, and disrespecting the staff. There’s a lot of overly aggressive people that come in here, and it ruins the vibe of the place when most of the people from that type of people are actually respectful, calm, and polite. I hate to say it but those people here do not represent real those people across DC or across America. These are the worst free loader type of those type of people, who lie, cheat and steal, just like in all the literature you learned about in school. They then go write reviews saying this place is the problem, no it’s you. You are the problem. Stop coming here and being trashy, then acting like an entitled person. Be real, don’t be fake. Keep it real those people, or you will never be respected or taken seriously. Keep your trashiness to yourself.

My friend came here the other day with a few of her other friends. She was expecting good food after a long day of work but instead the food here tasted like shyt wid the piss ! The food was mushy soggy and tasted like it was undercooked. She was very disappointed with the food and this gonna be the last time she going there !

the food is always what I expect, taste wise. but it seems to be getting more expensive, for less portions. the size of the bowl of chips for the table, has shrunk to a personal portion, between my visit on 3/2/2024 and the last time I ate there in fall 2023. The major issue, which is why I will not be returning, is the shady move a server did with our bill. We attempted to split our bill. one person was charged 100%, and a receipt was not provided. Then I was charged 50% on top of that. a simple apology would have sufficed at first. but the server continued to insist it was taken care of, voided and already corrected. "the change should be immediate". I went to the manager and he said the change would be made overnight. So the server lied. The reason I can't give that server the benefit of the doubt was his unwillingness to give a receipt to my friend who was charged for the whole meal, and that we did not get an explanation until she checked her bank app, and we asked what happened. all this after he guiltily fumbled over swiping my card many times. who swipes one card, charges the whole bill, doesn't give the opportunity to receive a tip?so unfortunate because I typically enjoy going. I can deal with women twerking on their chairs and men who've been overserved alcohol, incessantly hitting on any woman around them. But stealing from your patron is not acceptable. My next visit will be my last, and that will be to insist (again) for a refund if it is not taken care as I was told it would. BUT I LOVE THEIR DUPONT LOCATION.
