“The food was delicious, the service was horrible. There were only four tables with patrons and the times between the waitress would check on us and to pay our bill. There was a group of waitresses too busy talking in the corner to wait on their customers. I was not going to leave a tip but lo and behold there was a mandatory gratuity of 10% for me and my wife! No wonder she didn’t have to provide any service, she knew she was getting paid regardless. I’m not coming back here again.“

“So far the best pupusas I've tried, good price, good flavor, good size, rice and corn both make them very good. I'm not complaining compared to other places that the fame of the restaurant's name is more and when they serve it to you it's more doughy and poorly made.I recommend this place!“

“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.“

“This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions during planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.
Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wonderful afternoon meal on the patio before an early show at the 9:30 Club. Food was fresh, nicely seasoned and presented beautifully. We were celebrating a birthday and a beautiful slice of cake was served for the guest of honor. Waiter and staff were professional and attentive. Will definitely go back when we get the chance.“

“My go to takeout order is the tandoori chicken platter! If you’re a busy person & bulking on your workout journey, you can always rely on this restaurant for delicious, homemade tasting food. The tandoori platter is a generous serving, can make 2 meals out it. Not to mention the customer service is fantastic! The owner knew my order after the first time I came in & is such a kind person!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our server was Daisy. A previous reviewer said Daisy was sweet and attentive, and that’s exactly right. My 8-year-old said she was “my favorite waitress I’ve ever had.” The food was also very good, the spicy house margarita excellent. We’ll be back!
Kid-friendliness: Great kid’s menu“

“I got a carnitas burrito bowl the “Jefe way”with lettuce, pico de gallo, veggies, cheese, and sour cream as my toppings. I also added grilled corn.
I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size for the price (close to $12). I can split this meal into two servings.
The veggies were very fresh! Next time, I’ll get less toppings though because I couldn’t savor the flavor of the carnitas as much. I’d also like to try their spicier salsas. (I got the chiltomate, which has a medium spice level. It was okay.)
The staff were very sweet and helpful. I hope to come back when I’m in the area again.“

“Honestly, the best time I had was coming here we were visiting from New York City didn’t know much of the area, but Santiago the server was very respectful and helped us so much he convince us on so many different entrées. The food was amazing all his recommendation and the drinks were spectacular 10 out of 10. Thank you so much Santiago. You were a blessing. Definitely coming back because of you“

“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.“

“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.“
