“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!”

“Delicious neighborhood place serving Guatemalan food and some Mexican inspired dishes. The service is friendly. The food is dependable and always delicious. They make the chips for guacamole or salsa and chips to order. Entrees come with traditional warm Guatemalan tortillas which are thicker than Mexican tortillas. I use them to pick up the delightful sauces.”

“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.”

“We enjoyed our evening. It was raining and a Saturday in Memorial weekend and were able to get a reservation late afternoon for 7:30pm which usually unusual in DC. The cocktails were all superb including the mezcal cocktail, the gin cocktail, and the sangria. Definitely the best part. We did not order wine. We ordered all vegetarian appetizers including the hummus(3/5 star), salad(4/5 star), carrots(4/5 star), tomatoe toast(4/5), Patatas bravas(5/5 star), entree roasted Cauliflower(4/5 star) and the vegetarian Paella(2/5 star as had too much beets and sweetness), flan(5/5 star), churros(4/5 star). It was a little dark and there were not many people this evening which was surprising. We enjoyed dinner for the five of us and was enjoyable. We parked in the Ritz colonial garage and received another ticket when leaving and parking was $10. Do not understand why they can’t comp us. It was pleasant but not out of world but I as enjoyable as healthy food with some good flavors. It was as about $90 a person total including tip reasonable for everyone who had a cocktail, apps, entrees and dessert in upscale DC restaurant. I would recommend a try as if ate fish or meat may be slightly better.”

“Wasn’t expecting such delicious Salvadoreño food here. We ordered the papusas revueltas and the tacobirria. The papusas were good, but as my husband said, the tacobirria was a banger. It had a crunchy exterior bursting with juicy, flavorful birria and the best cheese pulls. Absolutely mouthwatering. We also got a horchata based off of previous reviews and it did not disappoint. Perfectly balanced, light and sweet without being overpowering. The atmosphere was cute with great music playing. We had a great experience here.”

The food was perfectly cooked and, while there was a small mix up with our order, they took ownership of the problem and made it right with us. The only other thing I wish we had was more bread to sop up that beautifully fragrant oil with the gambas al ajillo. I definitely plan on coming again!”

He helped coordinate our dinner and made booking a table afterward at the Mayflower Club incredibly easy and stress-free. Dennis was professional, welcoming, and made our entire group feel comfortable from start to finish. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Dennis, for making our night so enjoyable.

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected. Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.”

“I've worked across the street since this place opened and never thought to stop by until today. I asked the cashier to ring me up for whatever he recommended and came back to the office with a pair of spicy beef and spicy chicken salteñas. The guy working the front had great hospitality; he walked me through how to eat it, and what I should expect through my new culinary journey. I loved it! The dough had a nice crisp bite on the outside, paired with the well-seasoned soup on the inside. Kind of reminds me of a South American take on a soup dumpling, and that sounds like all sorts of good. I'll be back for a quick luck break!”

“Crisp & Juicy delivers exactly what its name promises—perfectly cooked Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken that’s both mouthwateringly juicy on the inside and satisfyingly crisp on the outside. The chicken is marinated in traditional Peruvian spices, slow-roasted, and served with a smoky, addictive flavor that’s hard to replicate. Their signature green and yellow sauces take everything to the next level—whether you’re dipping the chicken, fries, or even just spooning it straight. It’s simple, flavorful, and consistently well-executed. Beyond the chicken, the sides round out the experience: yuca fries that are golden and crunchy, flavorful rice, and plantains that add a touch of sweetness. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the vibe is laid-back—perfect for takeout or a casual meal. Crisp & Juicy doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does one thing really well: comfort food with bold flavor. It’s the kind of place that turns first-timers into loyal regulars”

“A Hidden Gem on Georgia Ave — The new Steve Seas on Georgia Avenue is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the space feels completely transformed! The menu is full of flavor and creativity. The Spanish-style risotto is a standout (my favorite) perfectly seasoned with a rich, savory depth and just the right texture. The steak is another hit: juicy, tender, and cooked exactly how you want it. Every dish feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with presentation that shows real attention to detail. On top of the great food. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seems happy to make sure everyone has a great time. Whether you’re out for a date night, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to something new, Steve Seas hits all the right notes — delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service. In short, Steve Seas is a fresh new gem in D.C. that’s definitely worth checking out.”

“🍽️ Benito’s: Incredible, Authentic Honduran Food – A Total Gem! A Must-Visit Central American Flavors If you haven’t been to Benito’s yet, put it at the very top of your list. My little brother took me here for the first time, and it’s safe to say he completely knocked it out of the park with this recommendation. From the moment you see the menu, you know you’re in for an authentic, flavor-packed experience. Here is the breakdown of the incredible spread we had: The Main Event: Bistec Encebollado / Fajita Platter The star of the table was a beautifully executed steak platter, packed with vibrant colors and rich, savory aromas. The Meat: Tender, perfectly seasoned strips of steak seared to perfection. The Mix: Sautéed with a generous mix of sweet onions, and crisp red, green, and yellow bell peppers that added the perfect crunch and sweetness. The Sides: Served alongside a flawless mound of seasoned orange rice, a fresh, crisp salad topped with creamy avocado, diced tomatoes, radishes, and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness. The Ultimate Comfort: Pupusas You cannot walk into Benito’s without ordering the pupusas. We got them served hot off the griddle with that signature, beautiful golden-brown char. They were thick, comforting, and stuffed generously. They came paired exactly as they should be: Curtido: A crisp, tangy, lightly pickled cabbage slaw that adds the ultimate refreshing crunch. Salsa Roja: A smooth, warm tomato salsa that ties every single bite together. The Extras To round out the meal, we had fresh, warm tortillas tucked in foil, a side of rich red beans topped with crumbled cotija cheese, and a sampling of vibrant green and orange hot sauces to kick the heat up a notch. The Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Benito’s delivers massive flavor, generous portions, and that unmistakable taste of authentic, home-cooked comfort food. Shoutout to my little brother for introducing me to this gem. I will absolutely be back for round two!”

“We were a little hesitant because of how small the store front was but it ended up being absolutely delightful! We had the empanadas as an appetizer, they were delicious. The bread was such a great consistency, better than the best cornbread. I had the carne asada, and it was so fresh and delicious. All of the food was very authentic! I even tried a new drink, not alcoholic, it was like a tea that was cold but somewhat spicy. It was delicious !! We will definitely be going back for another round ;-) Service was very quick and polite as well.”
