“Every dish was phenomenal. We were surprised by each dish that was served. The fava bean soup with plantains was standout. The staff have a deep knowledge and understanding of the menu and guided us through the entire journey of the experience. I absolutely loved the chantaduro with the plantain arepa - spectacular! The incorporation of ingredients from Latin America was special and the dessert was a perfect ending to the meal. Hats off to the chefs! Highly recommend for a unique experience or special occasion.“

“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.“

“We went to Lima & Cilantro for the first time last Friday for dinner, and we absolutely loved it!

We started with the ceviche, which was fresh and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice in my opinion.

For dinner, I had the braised mole short ribs, and they were amazing. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the rich mole sauce had a wonderful balance of savory, slightly sweet, and warm, complex flavors. My wife had the tagliatelle pasta, which she really enjoyed. Everything worked really well together.

For dessert, we shared the bread pudding, which was delicious and the perfect size to share. We also enjoyed some South American wines that paired beautifully with our meal.

The service was also excellent,friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. We always love supporting local restaurants, especially when the food and experience are this good. I definitely recommend Lima & Cilantro, and we will be back for sure!“

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

“My son and I visited El Golfo Restaurant last weekend. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu options. Our meals were generously sized and delicious. Live music was playing and a nice addition to the atmosphere. We would highly recommend this authentic and reasonably priced restaurant.“

“Great chicken empanadas, the best I ever had.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing brunch at The Saga by Seven Reasons Group, located at The Ritz-Carlton, DC. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly exceeded my expectations!
This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend The Saga if you’re looking for a delicious brunch, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent customer service!

“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!!!“

“Good and healthy easy ti get there and fast service“

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

“The food was really good! They even have some rare dishes like Menudo. Don't expect much service when it's busy, and you might even need to wait a while, but it's okay. Parking can also be tight during weekends, cause street parking requires permit.“

“You can really tell how much the owner cares about this place and wants his business to succeed. Super nice guy and incredible customer service.

The desserts were amazing too! Really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back.“

“We had an amazing experience at Selva Restaurant and the Mayflower Club! Our group was fairly large, and Dennis, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. 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. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Selva Restaurant and the Mayflower Club to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable experience!“

“Friendly service! Try the chicken baleada! Pair it with fried plantains and guanabana!“

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

“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!“

“The food was delicious and the wait staff was great, although the service was a little slow. Definitely worth the wait, though!“

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

“Delicious food and great service!“

“🍽️ 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!“

“Amazing flavor, great service!!!“

“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.“

“Great spot to play pool! They have two beautiful 7ft diamond tables and great food. The owner is super nice and also a good pool player I’ve heard.

They have a pretty large menu and everything I saw come out of the kitchen looks great. We will be back to play pool with my APA league team and also to try our luck at their tournament events for sure“

“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??“

“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!“

“Food was good and the people are alway friendly and down to earth. Love it here“

“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.“

“Had 3 pupusas. Revelta, Pollo, y Mixta. They were the best pupusas I've had outside of central america so would deffidently recomend. They did not come with the traditional curtido and Salsa Roja or else they would have been absolutely off the chart! (Also prices are higher since the last image on here)“

“I had the best time taking a Toscana Market Cooking Class! My team and I decided to switch up our team bonding and do something more fun and engaging! Chef Daniele guided us through shaping different pastas and it was such a fun experience! We even had a sauce off competition to see which group created the best pasta sauce! Afterwards, we all got to sit down and eat what we made together. 10/10 experience and can't wait to do it again with my team, friends, or even for a fun date night!“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“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 buena comida se los recomiendo“

“We ate in J&J when staying I the area. The food was fantastic. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.“

“I came to try this place: I tried beans and cheese, loroco con queso and revuelta pupusas. They were lacking a tad bit of salt and were pretty small in my opinion. Overall I still would rate 4/5 based on the pupusas because they make them hot and fresh.“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“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.“

“Excelente atención y sobre todo muy buena sazón Peruana 100% recomendado“
