Awesome lunch spot! They are so friendly, the atmosphere is cute and really feels like being in Spain, and the sandwiches are made on fresh bread with yummy ingredients. Highly recommended!

Came in with a Groupon and glad I did. I walked out with a Passion Fruit Mousse, three empanadas (2x Chicken 1x Beef), and the Prawns Mango & Goat Cheese salad. The salad was excellent and a refreshing lunch item in and of itself. The empanadas were good as well, the chicken was a little dry, but the beef was great and overall a worthy lunch item. Lastly, the Mousse was not something I expected to get but with a Groupon you usually can try some things outside of your typical order and I was very surprised by how tasty this was. If you like tropical flavors the Passion Fruit Mousse is a must get, and it seems to be popular as I snagged the last one just before noon. Great spot in NW DC for a work lunch! Give it a look.

Don't know Spanish cuisine very well but was really impressed with this place. Ingredients seemed very fresh, food was really nice... friendly service as well.
Had a Groupon and called for pick-up... understandibly, they wanted me to pay before they made $50 worth of food (at the risk I wouldn't come pick it up). They trusted me and made the food, which I appreciated, and also stayed open a few minutes after closing because I got stuck in traffic on the way.
Will definitely be back. I didn't stay to eat but the decor/interior was very nice as well.

Omg! I love the food here. Exactly as in Spain … my favorites are the pinxtos (tapas on little bread) and the salmorejo is similar to the one I had in cordoba… although you can pick up food to go, make sure you eat in as they add the little extras that make the whole difference…egg (& ham) to salmorejo, they warm up the pinxtos if needed ..

It's a small, but really nice place to get some Spanish cuisine. I really liked their salmon and cheese mollete or sandwiches, which took me back to a lunchtime in Madrid. The ambience is also quite bright and cheerful. For DC prices, I would probably say that the prices here are reasonable unless you are buying some of their take-home products, but that is probably because they are imported from Spain. The ingredients here are high-quality.Another mollete recommendation I have is their grilled chicken with piquillo peppers. I also really liked their andalusian gazpacho.Overall, I definitely recommend giving Tia Pepa a try if you are ever in the Farragut West area.

Would love to like this place but frustrated that its website and Google indicate open on Saturdays yet it clearly isn’t.

Had the chistorra mollete and loved it! The store has real Spanish products, but I found them outrageously expensive and didn't buy anything. The DeEspana brand they sell is quite good (I tried it in NY) except for the chorizo, so if you want to splurge it's a good place.

What a gem. Very clean inside. It's a tiny Spanish food market and restaurant. The lunch menu is very reasonable. I grabbed a flan dessert box for $6. Delicious!
Wanted to go eat here for my lunch break, but the titular Tia Pepa wasn’t having a good day and I ended up struck with lightning. Thankfully, Pepa’s sister fed me an arepa and I was perfectly healed. She then told me that she can take me somewhere else and feed me more since she knew I was hungry. I agreed and we had a good time. Her food was good, too. Want to actually visit this place someday when Pepa’s in a better mood though. Sure it’d be awesome.(Encanto joke review, I live nowhere near this place)

Really A+ service here, helped us assemble meal kits and took an incredible amount of time with us in addition to serving us a delicious lunch. Really terrific establishment.
Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating to our 8-month old.

This was a great find during our most recent visit to DC. It was around the corner from our hotel, which was great! They offer really good Spanish dishes and drinks and have other items like candy, olive oils and wines etc. from Spain. Would definitely recommend it.

The grilled chicken sandwich is an amazing one. The restaurant has plenty things to buy, like a little store to find original condiments, wines... but I prefer to eat outside of the building because it looks too much like a store.
