I highly recomend this spot as it never disappoints. Food was great. Ambiance was warm and inviting. Santos was a friendly host the manager on duty went above and beyond to make sure my birthday lunch was exceptional.

We made a reservation for Thanksgiving. Despite confirming the reservation the restaurant was closed! We walked a mile down the mall in the cold with a party of six. Really awful experience. The restaurant did not update on Google that they were closed - so there was no way of knowing this till we showed up. We had to get a meal at Starbucks! Awful.

What a great restaurant serving amazing food and doing incredible work for the community. The staff were all very kind and the food arrived quickly. We got the huevos rancheros, immigrant poke 2.0, roasted mushroom soup, and fries. Everyone loved their meal and there was no food left when we were done. The portion sizes were perfect. We can’t wait to visit again soon. Thank you!

What a gem in DC! Very good food at affordable prices. Mushroom soup has fresh whole mushrooms, and is a welcome departure from the usual blended morels and cream. Gumbo was also re-imagined, served with a bed of salad mix and cucumber as well as some rice, but not a soup in any sense. Delicious!
The canned cocktail was okay, but I wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known it was in a can. The wines were good and fairly priced.

Do better. Wanted to give this place a chance but the moment we entered we were rudely greeted. Left a bad taste in our mouths before we even had a chance to taste anything let alone look at the menu. Maybe train the workers in customer service if you're going to be in the service industry.

Food was really not fresh & not good. Totally disappointed by the promise of “immigrant food”, it deserves the cause at this point :(
We took poke bowl and Vietnamese bowl — we did not like it. Water’s taste is weird.
Too expensive for the quality. Avoid!

The service was nice tho on a positive note.

The ceviche and tostones were amazing. The mix of ceviche and passion fruit is a winning combination.
Service was fast and food was warm and tasty as it is supposed to.

Horrible cocktails - ordered a yuzu jalapeño marg and it's probably the worst cocktail I've had in DC at what's supposed to be a nice restaurant (tasted like boxed pineapple juice, almost no booze and no spicyness). The mocktail was equally disappointing.

Our food was all cold and meh. Nothing special. Ceviche had no lime kick. Bowls were mushy and lacked anything interesting. The tequeños were way too small.

Will not be back unfortunately.
