Their fried chicken is also really good. Horchata is very good too! They mostly have a 15-20 min wait time for you food but that’s normal.“

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

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone“

“Always great customer service and food. Love the cozy atmosphere!“

“🥂✨ Brunch...still thinking about the unreal brunch experience we had this weekend! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was electric—bright, welcoming, and full of energy. The place was buzzing with laughter and clinking glasses.

The drinks were next level, especially the signature brunch cocktails. Every sip was a treat.

And the food? Absolutely spectacular. Perfectly plated, bursting with flavor, and made with so much care. Whether it was sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, every dish was a hit.

What stood out the most was the atmosphere—entertaining, engaging, and filled with good vibes. People weren’t just eating brunch—they were experiencing it. And you could tell the owners take serious pride in their space. From the service to the decor to the playlist, everything was done with intention.

If you’re looking for a place that serves more than just a meal—but a moment—this is it. You can see why you need a reservation.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am Mexican and this food is just as great as it is in my own country, adding a touch of sophistication, fun and spark! Highly recommend it.“

“Everything about this place was A++. Not sure how this place has not come up for me or my husband before but came here Tuesday night and we’re officially deeming this our go to spot. Everything was delicious and legitimately the best Mexican restaurant in DC and the best Margaritas in town.
1. The fajitas (chorizo, chicken, steak) had amazing flavor including the side of refried beans, steak was tender, didn’t skimp you on the veggies.
2. The chicken tamales did not disappoint - you can tell they care about their masa, and the chicken inside was juicy, not dry like many places.
3. The frozen margaritas were freshly made it isn’t just a bunch of syrup. I actually wasn’t going to get one but Oscar put my concerns at ease and pointed out it was still happy hour.
Such a relief to find a spot where you can count on food being delicious, where the vibe is chill and the people are great! Thank you Oscar, Diego, and Chris!“

“Food was Excellent.“

“I went to District Taco at the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. The menu has a variety of options to choose from, and luckily one of the staff there, Eimy, was really helpful with recommending what's most popular, as well as what she's personally grown to love. I'd definitely say I left satisfied. The vibes were good my whole time there, and there was very little wait time. I'll be going back and sharing it with those I know. Shout-out Emiy again, she hooked me up.“

“Amazing food. Attentive staff. This place serves a delicious variety of Mexican foods, beverages, and the best flan I have ever tasted. Our favorites include Tlayudas with pork, Bistec con Salsa Pasilla, Pastor Tacos. You really can’t go wrong. The offer tasty aguas frescas, tasty libations, and that creamy flan I mentioned above. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Angel is a gentleman, and listens carefully in order to customize your experience. I really kind of hate to let everyone know about this hideaway in Wheaton, but I can’t stop bragging on them!“

“the food was amazing and delicious. I will be back!“

“Dining in DC, is paying for ambiance. Pascual was a wonderful ambiance in learning the finer elements of Mexican cuisine.

NO SALSA IN CHIPS

Guacamole was tasty but it wasn't until I built the perfect bite with the braised lamb neck did I appreciate the understatement of its balance. My friend very much enjoyed her Octopus, she got crispy she'll to accompany her dish.

The bunuelo was a nice finish, but there was the option of flan w/chocolate. The flan was good but had bitters from dark chocolate that gave the taste of espresso.

I would not dine here again personally, but it makes for a really nice backdrop of a lovely dinner.

Vegetarian options: Seafood allergy, a lot of possible cross contamination, limits your choices. However the choices are still very delicious.“

“We dined in this evening for snacks and drinks and Tollie took great care of us. He made excellent recommendations (taquitos atun and churros, notably) we ordered the pitcher of Ponche de Lola which was perfect to share! Wonderful Sunday evening“

“Clean, quick service, normal wait time for food. Real sliced beef on the nachos. See attached pic for details.“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“When I forget to bring lunch to work, District Taco is usually the first place that pops into mind. I always get their bowl with black beans with the cabbage topping. What really makes their bowl special is that I can add potatoes! It is a little addition that makes the meal really hardy and keeps me full until dinner. Like many places, you order on a screen, and they will call out when your food is ready.“

“The chicken mole California burrito was really really good - specifically the tortilla and the mole and beans. Everything tasted homemade and delicious. The carnitas super burrito was also really well made and the guacamole was good.

The cold brew was the best cold brew I’ve tried (I’ve had about 10) - it was really chocolatey and delicious.

The reasons for 4 stars is that I didn’t like how the portions were a bit small for the price. The chips and guac was $12 and seemed to involve about 1 or 2 avocados.

The burritos were filling - appreciated and needed the salsa verde that came with them! But still a bit pricy.

These views might also be influenced by the fact I felt pressured by the card machine at the register to tip more than 20% before the food came. The first screen that pops up when paying has only 3 suggested tips: 25, 22, and 20% - the highest I’ve seen on one of these apps. In total it came to $63 for 2 burritos, 1 chips and guac, and 2 cold brew coffees including tip which feels very expensive. We also were accosted by wasps on the patio that tried to get into our food, so that’s a reason for the 4 star atmosphere.

Nevertheless I would recommend this place - if you’re not worried about the price and savvy enough to tip appropriately/not accidentally.

I am confident they are some of the best burritos you can get in the area, and cold brew!“

“The Cadillac margarita was amazing and so was the chicken burrito bowl! The staff was very attentive and the food was priced well. very authentic and very amazing! 5 stars!!“

“After moving from Florida I have been tirelessly searching for a good taco place in Maryland. I was so happy to find Tacos A La Madre! When you go inside it is very under decorated, but clean and they have a good sense of branding with their black and yellow color scheme. The tacos are amazing, flavorful, and consistent every time I go. The ingredients taste fresh. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the shrimp tacos and the birria tacos! 🌮 This is our new go-to taco place. You have to go- you won’t be disappointed.“

“I went to La Posada for brunch shortly after it opened (and after a long week), and it was FANTASTIC. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had an incredible meal, and it just was everything I could have wanted - I definitely plan to go back!

But, in the meantime, I did pick up some takeout for dinner one night, which was an excellent decision. The queso and chips were great, but the flautas were just perfection.“

“The best taco spot around.“

“It was our first time there we had a great time , service was great the food the bomb we will come back again .“

“Fantastic place for really good farm to table vegetarian food. This was a stop on a good tour of DC. The atmosphere is friendly and lively. The staff is fantastic. The food is amazing. I had a delicious taco that unfortunately I don't remember the name of 😑, but I did take a picture. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“So goo that we came twice in two days while we were on vacation. Highly recommend.“

“Good service, great food!“

“La comida aquí es muy rica y el servicio de Diana es excelente, muy amable y muy atenta! Sin duda volveremos pronto! Lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Happy hour on a Friday night during a busy weekend in DC, the staff took the time to accommodate a group of 13 hungry, thirsty people. I can't speak highly enough of their can-do attitude to let us sit together. The drinks and food were delicious.“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“Highly recommend,… great food and fun atmosphere.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and the hibiscus margaritas. The service was great too!“

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“They got fantastic food!

Trust me, although the atmosphere is very basic and even there’s no AC, the food is awesome! Sometimes they will be slow at preparing food when there are more ppl waiting because they only have two chefs. But every food is made fresh, no premade food. I have been there many times and it’s one of my favorites.“

“Flavors are good. The after taste of the tortilla was not pleasant, but the other items were great.“

“We took a group of 60 people to this place for dinner and it was half adults and half 5th Graders. Nestor was so accommodating and the staff was amazing! The food was even better.“

“Great food, great service, and great views of the water (we sat outside!)! We had a very attentive server. I have a severe tree nut allergy, and he and the manager were exceptionally helpful in managing our food order to ensure everything was safe to eat. The restaurant clearly has very strong allergy training and protocols, which we value greatly. Looking forward to our next meal there!“

“A well kept secret in the city. It is a restaurant without much pretension, which offers good quality Mexican food with careful service. The space is small, so it is ideal to go as a couple or in small groups. The price-quality ratio is good.“

“We sat at the bar. Delicious food and drinks. Great service. We came twice on our trip to D.C.“

“Enjoyed this place but looks like it may have closed down. Margaritas and tacos were excellent. Don’t think the neighborhood took to it like El Chucho’s bar scene. Tough location near Monroe St as it’s on the edge of 11th where the Coupe is king.“

“Love it and a must to eat when in DuPont circle in DC“

“Great tacos. The pork shoulder and pork belly were excellent!“
