Qui Qui, located above a bar on 7th St NW in DC, offers a unique Puerto Rican dining experience. The restaurant's atmosphere is lively and inviting, with Latin music and vibrant decor that makes you feel like you've been transported to San Juan.
The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff. The menu offers a variety of flavorful dishes, such as the crispy and tender Carne Frita con Tostones, the melt-in-your-mouth Lechoncito, and the succulent Pollo Asado. The Kan Kan, a massive dish of crispy and juicy pork, is a must-try and is generously portioned, making it a great value for the price.
The restaurant charges a 20% automatic gratuity, but the high level of food and service makes it well worth it. The shrimp appetizer and Pastelone entree, made with plantains, are also standouts on the menu. The Pastelone is a tasty dish, though it may not be suitable for those who do not enjoy the taste of plantains.
The appetizers, such as the Beef Empanadas and corn fritters, are also not to be missed. The empanadas are packed with flavorful meat, while the corn fritters are light and airy with a good chewiness to them. The savory and sweet plantains are both delicious, and the beans that come with the chicken entree have great flavor.
The steak entrees have a smoky flavor that may be polarizing, so it's important to keep that in mind when ordering. The Tres Leches cake is a must-try for dessert, as it is moist and soaked with a delicious sauce, but not overly soggy.
The decor at Qui Qui is unique, with recycled liquor bottles used as water pitchers and paintings and flowers throughout. The storefront could benefit from clearer signage, as it is not immediately apparent that the restaurant is located inside the building. Overall, Qui Qui is a great spot for an authentic Puerto Rican dining experience with exceptional food, great service, and a vibrant atmosphere.
