“muy buena comida se los recomiendo“

“My parents stumbled upon this place while they were visiting in November and raved about how it was an amazing breakfast. Finally ordered from them and they were right. Highly recommend the eggs and steak option. The steak was perfect and the traditional Salvadoran sides were delicious.“

“Delicious Seafood soup w/cream!!! Tasty, like a rich bisque. It was a huge portion (got it to go and it must have been a half gallon tub full with big shrimp, mussels, clams, a whole blue crab, & half of a lobster). My family who got other dishes weren’t as impressed with their meals (fried snapper and shredded beef from breakfast menu were a little bland). I was so happy with the soup though. Great value & lots of flavor!“

“Great food great service!“

“My favorite place to get coffee in DC and a great neighborhood gem! They use counter culture coffee. I especially love their seasonal drink menu, and always crave their black and yellow coffee drink (lemonade and espresso). I’m not normally a sweet coffee person, but this place is an exception because of how well crafted their drinks are (think similar to a nice cocktail bar). I love that when you dine in, they include special toppings with their seasonal drinks. The place is cozy, well decorated, and the perfect place to catch up with a friend. Food and cocktails are great too - especially for a quick meal / breakfast / snack. My favorites are the sausage egg & cheese breakfast sandwich and ajiaco soup.“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“Nice! The food was good and a very accommodating staff.“

“Deliciosas empanadas y aperitivos con ese sabor Panameño que nos identifica y una atención excelente“

“Mi esposo y yo fuimos hoy por primera vez. Las atenciones fueron espectaculares y la comida riquísima. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias a Rocio por tratarnos tan bien.“

“Very cute and clean out of the way Salvadoran restaurant. Worth a stop if you’re in the area! Had a great weekend lunch, tried the papusas (get the revueltas!) and tacos, as well as a couple different margaritas. Very reasonably priced and really delicious.

I’ve had papusas from several places, these are handmade and very fresh.“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Mita and had an unforgettable experience. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the space felt deeply connected to both culture and the earth. It’s rare to find plant-based food that’s this healthy and delicious. Every dish was thoughtful and satisfying — perfect for a special date night. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great place to eat traditional Guatemalan food. The waitress was very prompt and provided exceptional service. The food is amazing it was as if I’m eating at a true Guatemalan household - 100% authentic. I’ll be coming again and telling my friends to check it out. You won’t regret coming to this place, it’ll have you wanting to come back for more.“

“I just had a company meeting here and it was excellent! Service and food was phenomenal as always. I can’t thank them enough for providing a great atmosphere for me and my company. I will definitely be having a team meeting here again.“

“Latin comfort food; good beer selection; everything on the menu is excellent“

“The food was excellent Spanish and Latin cuisine at The Saga. The Duck 🦆, The Pork Chop, and the sharable Branzino were just a few exceptional entrees and of course The Saga Cocktail was delicious. Do yourself a favor and visit this amazing restaurant in DC.“

“se los recomiendo todo muy bueno 👌“

“I don’t usually write reviews—when I do, it’s because the experience was either exceptionally bad or truly outstanding. This one might be a bit long, so let’s start from the beginning. It’s been 10 years since I moved to Virginia, and I have to say, I love it here. That said, I do miss the beaches and the incredible food from Miami. Ever since I moved, I’ve been searching for the perfect spot—a place where both the food and the service are amazing. Let’s be honest, that’s hard to find. Often, the food is great but the service is just okay, or the service is excellent but the food falls short. When looking for a place to celebrate my wedding anniversary, a few options came up, and one of them was Sabores Tapas Bar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it there at the time and ended up going to two other places—one was okay, the other was awful. Later, I told my wife we needed to try Sabores, maybe on New Year’s Day. Again, we ended up at a “safe” spot we like to visit. The food and service were good, but it was just our usual go-to. Fast forward to last week: my best friend from Puerto Rico came to visit with his family. He loves to eat, and his wife can be hard to please. This time, we decided to go to Sabores Tapas Bar. I’ll admit, I was nervous—I wanted them to have a great experience, but pleasing everyone is never easy. Finally, we went. What can I say? The food was amazing, and the service was just as incredible. It was so good we couldn’t stop eating. I had high expectations—growing up, my house was always full because my friends came over for my mom’s cooking. She’s an amazing cook. Mom, forgive me for saying this, but Sabores Tapas Bar is as good as, if not better than, your cooking, and the service was amazing. Wow. I’ve found the place. It’s so good that I want to go back and try dishes I normally don’t like, just to see if they can make me love them. I can’t wait to return. My taste buds have found the love of their life at Sabores Tapas Bar.“

“The salteñas from Saya are, without a doubt, the best I’ve tasted—not just in Washington DC, but even compared to some spots in La Paz, Bolivia. The staff is warm and attentive, and every bite of food is bursting with flavor. A true gem for anyone craving authentic Bolivian cuisine.“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“Truly wonderful food and staff. To call the portion size generous — especially the burritos — would he an understatement. Excellent and friendly staff, and a short wait for food that still came out fresh. More than anything, the empanadas, tacos al pastor, and chicken burritos were all excellent and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend again and again“

“10/10, took my wife for our 15 year anniversary and she loved, every delicious bite, every plate had a story to tell,such a wonderful and memorable experience. Gracias!!!“

“Had a wonderful dinner with friends - service was great and food unique and delicious! Highly recommend!“

“This was our first time. Although it was the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday the place was very busy. Staff didn't always speak English but they quickly found someone who did. The food was excellent and we were well taken care of. Definitely worth going back. Surprised to learn they have been open almost 10 years but until they started to list on OpenTable we had no idea.“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“This is such an amazing place most people don't even know how good this place is they have e been open for over 18 years now, the food is so good it will definitely make you crave it a few days later, their drinks are bang on and leaves their neighbors behind. This place is definitely worth checking out amazing food and staff“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“This is my favorite place! I drive from Columbia to here almost every weekends because I love the vibe, the food, the drinks and they are very kind and professional and hard working. I love to support this business and I recommend it to anyone who is into Hispanic food and reggaeton! Absolutely amazing lounge!“

“Wow! The pupusas were delicious! I ordered the Pupusa de Pollo and the special that night, the Pupusa with Shrimp. The restaurant also offers tacos, salads and soups. Do not forget to order a smoothie to go with your pupusas. The banana smoothie was just that: smooth and satisfyingly sweet with the savory pupusas.“

“Food was delicious!! Service was excellent!! People were so friendly! Love it here!!“

“The vibe is good. The service was very very slow. They kept forgetting to put things in. Not sure if they were short staffed. Don’t waste your time with the chips and dips. They tasted like store bought guacamole and salsa and cheap dollar store bag chips. But other wise the Citron sampler was amazing! We only one drink because again the service was slow. But overall I would try this place again because of the vibe and music.“

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“Very Nice ambience, truly enjoyed the music, the service , the food. If you are looking for a place to hang out anytime, this is it! They have parking, security, food and beverage all in one place, if you do try the food definitely go for Shrimp ceviche it's out of this world??“

“I felt like some Dominican food specifically, chicharron de pollo (fried chicken) and tostones (fried plantains). The food was delicious and plentiful. It's in a strip mall and has an adjoining lounge which may double as a dance floor.“

“Muy buen Ambiente muy rica 🤑 la comida Todo excelente 😍😍🥰.“

“Great place to grab a chicken and cheese sub. Plenty of chicken for another sandwich…lol. Love this spot.“

“The perfect hole in the wall. Classic, quality Mexican food. Sizes good portions, reasonable prices, you can feed two people to beyond full with a drink for $30, it’s all freshly made in house to order and turn around pick up is never longer that 15/20mins. Special shout out to the chicken burrito and the horchata.“

“great food, very friendly employees. will eat there again“

“From the moment you arrive in that restaurant they give you a great feeling. Very congenial stuff, it is a nice restaurant to go out with buddies or with your date. tasty food, specialist chef de cuisine, comfortable price and nice service. Warmly recommended.“

“First time trying this place one of the best restaurant this is a amazing customer service. A amazing spanish food amazing. Costumer services I’m hardly recommend you and your family thanks

Vegetarian options: Need more. Vegetarian options“

“Bomb food :)“

“I like going there the pupusas are tasty. The waitresses a few waitresses are friendly and some of them look with a mean face. I don't know what's going The music that the DJ plays can be a little bit too loud or the sound needs to be improved. The place is big if you're trying to watch a game, there are a lot of TVs. You can find a variety of beers, mixed drinks liquor bottles,Michelada is my favorite.“

“Delicious and a lot of food for the price. Mainly Venezuelan and Colombian food. Having alfajores and chicha morada on the menu make it Peruvian, too.“

“Buena comida guatemalteca. Y tienen variedad de platos típicos. Buen servicio al cliente.“

“In my opinion, Benito’s Place has some of the best papusas in the city, but the rest of the menu shouldn’t be ignored either! Fried plantains and bistec were also great choices. Staff is friendly. My only complaint is that several customers were watching videos on their phones in the restaurant without headphones, which was loud and disturbing. I would expect staff to politely handle that kind of situation.“

“Rico té esperamos lo mejor de la comida y ambiente ♥️🥰🥰“
