We had a half hour to kill while we waited to meet friends for dinner at a place around the corner, so we dropped in at the Alero Lounge to get Margaritas in their outdoor tented area. The place was pleasant and our cheerful waiter was friendly and prompt. But our house Margaritas with salt had no salt and were a bit disappointing. Still, inexpensive fast, comfortable, and quiet....that's nothing to sneeze at.

I loved this place so much I don’t know why it’s ranked as low as it is. It’s DC so it’s not $3 tacos or whatever but it is still cheap for DC and they treated me and my group of 8 so well on my birthday

Awesome place!!! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced for U street in DC ($15-25) for very delicious and filling entrees. I had the tacos Al pastor and my friend had the chicken burrito, both well seasoned and delicious. We got pitchers which were $50-$60 and had 6 drinks in each. We got the margarita and sangria pitchers which were soooo good. We also asked the server if they sang happy birthday because it was my boyfriend’s birthday and they pulled out all the stops....
