The most authentic Mexican food we’ve found in DC outside of Colombia heights! Their menu spans more than Mexican, offering pupusas and other things too. The food here was delicious and full of flavor, and they have a wonderful outdoor space filled with plants. Their drink menu has a lot of creative combinations (jarrito cocktail, tequila horchata, and more). We will definitely come back here frequently

An oasis of good food and great vibe. The guacamole was delicious, the service was personal and the ambiance was festive but calm. We recommend

Fresh, fun, beautiful. Truly enjoyed every bite, surrounded by beautiful plants. Great spot for the weekend

If you’re looking for really authentic Mexican food, this place is it. The flavors feel homemade and true to traditional cooking, and everything tastes fresh and wholesome. I love that the dishes don’t feel heavy or overly greasy—they actually feel pretty healthy while still being full of flavor. They have a great variety too, like pozole and huaraches, which you don’t see often in DC. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you want something authentic and satisfying.

Hidden gem on h st. The patio is a little oasis. We stopped in for breakfast and the huevos rancheros and chorizo burrito were awesome!

My husband and I have been fans of the lunch/dinner at Fresca for a long time, but recently tried their breakfast. Wow. We may start making this a weekly Saturday tradition because it was SO good. Such a nice way to start the weekend and even our kids loved it!

We’ve been coming here for breakfast for months because of the great service, delicious food (get the chilaquiles) and the kids and dog friendly atmosphere (they even have a doggy menu). This last time we were pleasantly surprised by how warm the patio was even though it’s 32 degrees out there. Highly recommend this as a family friendly brunch/breakfast spot.

Really wonderful service and authentic Mexican food. I got a complimentary ponce and loved it. The gorditas were filling and perfect for a small lunch.

I ordered a chicken soup with tortillas on the side and after taking a few bites of the soup, which tasted fine, I saw two baby cockroaches in the tortilla bowl crawling around. I squished them and told the waiter. The didn't charge me for the soup but I will not be going back since they must have a serious pest problem

Need a Mexican vacation? Walking through the Fresca Taqueria doors feels like your transported Veracruz Mexico! The food was authentic and delicious. I had the Barbados enchiladas with fried plantains and cactus salad… generous portions at a great value. The solarium seating sets you amongst the vibrant H Street corridor, yet a 3,000 miles away at the same time!

Came here for lunch and our server (Alejandro?) was so nice and attentive. Food was great and came out extremely fast. Our drinks were also great. We will be back!
