“El Papi Real Street Tacos is a little off the beaten path. The food is for an acquired soft taco taste. The food was dry and not as flavorful as other taco tasting around the US. It did not seem like a Central American Taco experience but more like a US fusion.Parking: The parking lot is small but open to allow a clear view of the surroundings. It appeared to have between 20-25 spots.“
“PhoWheels, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. PhoWheels has consistently amazing food, the friendliest staff in the world, and a totally unique fusion concept. I've had the pork belly tacos twice, the bo-khirria banh mi, and I just barely managed to make myself not order the pork belly tacos a third time so that I could try the oxtail pho tacos. Their pho was absolutely delicious - I liked it even more than the bo kho - and there was such a generous amount of oxtail in the tacos that I scooped part of it directly into the pho and just ate both dishes that way. Their meat is always so tender and well-seasoned. Their roti is perfect - so buttery and soft and flaky. It's worth every penny, and I'm always trying to convince people to try it. You won't regret it! Fair warning that the seating is all outdoors, so plan to get the food to go when the weather isn't nice, but it's a really convenient location right by the metro with plenty of parking around, so it's easy to get to, and the food travels well in my opinion. Eventually I'll manage to try everything on the menu, or maybe just order the pork belly tacos 14 more times.“
“This place is SO good - you can tell the food is made with love. I had three tacos (duck, beef, pork) and all were delicious + the meat was super tender. We also had key lime pie which was awesome. The guy at the front was so nice and provided great service (I think he is the chef/owner?). Can’t wait to come back and bring people here!“
“What fast/casual place does hand made tortillas?!? Delicious and interesting food, chill vibes/staff, and celiac safe! 11/10, will come back and try the rest of the menuVegetarian options: Tons of options, all of which are incredibleDietary restrictions: Celiac safe!!!! Always great to not worry“
“Had a great happy hour at Tequila & Mezcal! $8 mezcalitas, $10 tacos (3 per order), etc. the tacos were really good as well! The chicken was deceptively strong, and the Al Pastor was delish. I’d 100% come back again to try more of their delicious food.“
“The food is pretty enjoyable. Reasonable prices for DC. Staff is really nice and friendly. I come here about once a month and it's a spot where I will happily take friends who are visiting. It's a cool vibe outside, I would recommend expecting to wait in line on a weekend night.“
“I took my husband here for a birthday lunch. He ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the salmon avocado salad. Both were amazing!! The salad had fresh ingredients and even the dressing tasted homemade. The fish and chips were fried to perfection and melted in your mouth. Service was excellent and we were made to feel right at home. The restaurant was clean and inviting and I can’t wait to return once the outdoor patio is open. Many thanks to the owners for making my husband’s birthday special and ensure he felt celebrated.“
“Visited this place based on reviews. The place was very small with 4 tables and 8 chairs to sit and eat mostly functioning as a take out place/cloud kitchen. The food was great but not amazing. Their tacos had good options and the nachos were really nice.“
“SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful in answering our questions and providing recommendations from the menu based on our preferences. Very professional and she was always around when we needed anything.FOOD: If you like chicken nachos you should try these. They put the right amount of cheese, chicken, jalapenos, guac, every ingredient pairs perfectly. I had the chicken enchilada and my husband the chicken tacos. The plates are smaller in size than expected but still delicious and filling..ATMOSPHERE: The ambience of the restaurant is very inviting and comfortable. The indoor dining area is to the left when you walk in, the bar in the middle and outdoor seating. Very nice.Overall we will visit this establishment again!“
“The food is fantastic. I had the shrimp, steak and chicken tacos. The sauces that came with the tacos are super good. I also had the taco dip, which was also amazing. I took some back to my staff and everyone loved it. We have found a new lunch spot.“
“We loved this place!!! Chose HiFi based on the Yelp reviews and realized when we arrived that this is actually a food hall type venue called The Roost. I'll be reviewing the whole place. The ambiance is incredible, and the way it flows is ingenious. You sit down, scan a QR code with your phone, and are able to order from any of the multiple eateries in the space. Place your order online and then waitstaff brings your order over from any/all of the restaurants. Honestly, I ordered from multiple spots- HiFi, the bar, the sushi spot- and all of our food was absolutely phenomenal. I will be back for sure the next time we're visiting DC!“
“Randomly decided to stop by here as I discovered it driving home from work… I’m soooo glad I did! The food was made fresh, fast (enough), and absolutely delicioussssss! I got the beef bowl and it was some of the best tasting food I’ve had in a while!! :-)“
“First time here & it did not disappoint! The gentleman who took our order was extremely patient and attentive. The food was really good. Good portions & presentation. One of the better taco spots in the area for sure! Will definitely be back.“
“I just had the mixed grill fajita tonight and it was incredible, the chicken and beef are the cats meow. The customer service is the best, the staff are so friendly and generous. I haven’t actually been to the store yet, but met staff at the food truck the week before last and one of our housemates also raves about the service. So glad J and J came to Mount Rainier!“

“I've tried placing an order for other menu items, but, I'm addicted to the chicken quesadilla and churros! Sizeable chucks of chicken and the cheese...honey this quesadilla is everything!!My son raved about the tacos and torta. Oh, he's also a fan of the churros.“
“Absolutely amazing dinner at El Techno for my birthday. Vibes were immaculate, birria ramen bomb was in the top 5 things I've ever eaten. Staff were friendly and helpful, but didn't hover, absolutely perfect. Margaritas were delicious. The owner, Louie, came by and introduced himself and made sure everything was great. Honestly couldn't ask for a better dinner for the price.“
“It was a beautiful early springlike day when I dined here so I requested a table outside. The food was delicious - I had the brussel sprouts appetizer and the chicken tagine. Excellent flavors in both. My server was very kind and helpful. I splurged on the crunch bar dessert which was delightful! I will definitely return for another meal.“
“The tacos here, a silent gold, steep in price,Yet in their flavors, they roll the dice.Greatness in each bite, a culinary flood,But the cost whispers too loud, thuds in the bud.Four stars they earn, not without strife,For the bill that comes, sharpens like a knife.A feast for the palate, yet the wallet's tight,In this dance of taste and cost, a nuanced fight.“

“This is a priceless spot. The staff is so warm and welcoming. Sit at the bar if you can. The drinks are fantastic, the food is right out of a Mexico City kitchen on a Saturday night. The posole almost made me cry, it was absolutely perfect. If you're aware of what flavors taste like after being slowly developed, you'll love this place. The decor also reminds me of someone's kitchen. Beautiful, colorful, but unpretentious and comfortable.“
“First time going there, definitely not my last. Excellent dive restaurant for a quick bite. I love the mis of Mexican and Asian food in a plate. Ordered tacos (Grilled pork, spicy chicken and the steak). Price was excellent and it was definitely filling. Highly recommend!“
“Local and authentic Pupusería. $6 for 2. Fresh and made to order, lots of options but I went with just bean and cheese and cheese. Service was friendly and fast. The restaurant is small on the inside but there's a pretty large outdoor covered patio. Definitely recommend and would be interested in their other offerings.“
“Currently addicted to the enchiladas with green salsa, though the red is fantastic as well. The bean burrito is a must try, and their refries beans and rice are perfect. Prices are so reasonable, especially for the area and to go orders are made super quickly!“
“Can I say EXCELLENT! We searched for dinner options on Saturday night and found SPs Cuisine through Google. I called to ask questions and the customer service was impeccable. I had a large order (10) and was understandably nervous, but the person on the phone was patient and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Everything was correct, the food was hot, and the chef did an outstanding job. We will definitely be back. Shrimp and Salmon Rasta Pasta Wings Shrimp & Salmon Veggie sides My only complaint was the smoke, when my husband and brother returned the smell of smoke was overwhelming.“
“Been dying to try this place for a while. Loved the atmosphere. Staff was nice. Markus was a whole vibe! He had me & my gf cracking up. The Baja fish, glazed pork, & chicken tacos are my fav. We will def be back and this time it’ll be early enough to grab seats at the bar!“
“Takorean was given a high endorsement from an associate of mine to try while in Washington DC. They were not wrong.Cleanliness. 4.5 of 5. The restaurant was well maintained and appeared very clean.Service: 3.5 of 5. Staff was professional but not talkative to the customers. A little more interaction would have been nice for a first trial run.Food quantity 5 of 5. I ordered the slaw bowl that had romaine slaw with some kimchi slaw. For the meat I had chicken. Additions were tomatoes, pickled daikon radish, and cilantro. A lot of food, left the restaurant full.Food quality 5 of 5. Every bite was full of flavor and pleasant. The aroma of the food matched the taste. Though late in the day when I solicited the restaurant, the food was still fresh, delicious, and delightful.Price: $$ 15-20 per person would be reasonable, I didn’t chose a lot of options that could increase one’s bill.Overall I would give this restaurant a 4.5 of 5“
“Heads up-- this is inside of the 7/11. The tortillas are amazing and they make them on the spot!! Worth the 5 min wait. They also have tamales! Super affordable and delicious. There is a small sitting area inside the 7/11 but you can also take it to go.Vegetarian options: Egg based options, beans and rice“
“This is hands-down, the best Silvestre location in my opinion. I always call and order my food and it's always ready for pick up when I go. The service is phenomenal and so is the food. My go to order is a steak taco bowl. The steak is always very tender and well seasoned. The taco bowl is always overflowing and the amount of steak that you get for the price is amazing. Both the green and orange sauces, put all of the dishes over the top. I've also had their pupusa and tamales. I love a good pupusa and the curdito that comes with it is so fresh. The prices are great, and the food is amazing. This is definitely one of my favorite spots to go to when I don't wanna cook“
“Such a great neighborhood gem. The food is good and the atmosphere is cute and quaint. My only gripe is that on the website, it states the restaurant closes at 9pm/9:30pm. However, it’s more like 7:30pm! It always closes early for many different reasons and if you walk in to dine at 7:15pm, they’re looking at you crazy or May tell you that you can only order takeout. I wish they’d just change the times!“
“Nice counter serve experience right off U St. I had seen Bandit on a list for best breakfast burrito in DC - it did not disappoint!Huge burritos, pick your own protein. I added guacamole but I might recommend avoiding the guacamole addition on future orders. The burrito was huge without it, so more stuff made it more complicated to eat I think. Can’t wait to go back!“
“My teenage son is rarely able to eat out at restaurants due to severe food allergies. We were thrilled at finding that he could safely order a delicious meal from Surfside Taco Stand! Many thanks to the staff and cooks who made his evening really special! @ Surfside Taco Stand - The Wharf - 33 District Square SouthwestDietary restrictions: The staff was super accommodating to my son's severe food allergies! They asked perceptive questions, double checked things, and gave good suggestions. So happy and grateful that he could eat safely! He ordered the plain chicken tacos with lettuce and cherry tomatoes. It also came with plain rice and a lime slice. [Allergies: eggs, dairy, soy, treenuts, peanut, sesame, legumes, wheat]“
“You can get your food fast. (Update) for some reason I kept the water bottle that I got thereVegetarian options: Of course there are vegetarian options. why wouldn't there be.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors to the place are low to the ground.“
“This place is the bomb! We were walking around, looking for a late night bite and stumbled upon this absolute gem. The chicken was succulent and flavorful. The sopa was so warm and comforting. Prices are reasonable and serving sizes are healthy. Definitely stop by!“
“Waitress was very attentive and pozole was delicious. I’ve been looking for a place with good Mexican food and this nailed it! Will be returning. The tostadas came with my pozole and my partner enjoyed them very much. Just wish that I was able to add to the tip, before I knew it I only had the customer copy of the receipt. Waitress was the best!“
“I've visited Upstairs at the Morrow several times! The venue is amazing and so beautifulI've had the wings, fries, and tacos. Everything is so so good! It's a great place for date night , ladies night, and taking pictures! The hotel is Beautiful and service is amazing The director of sales , Rosie bailey and Kristina Christopher are awesome ! They exceed great customer service !!! It's a gem in NOMAI can't wait to come back !“
“Fantastic! I got the birria beef tacos and my husband got the birria beef fries. Definitely couldn't be happier with how delicious our meals were! Mega bonus points for kiddos eating free from their kids meal selection.Absolutely plan on going back and trying more items from the menu!“
“Fantastic food for the price. Had a steak quesadilla and half chicken with yucca and plantains. The yucca was crispy and the chicken was nice and moist. Only thing was the plantains were a little dry.Went at 8pm on a Sunday and there was no line and a short wait.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is ground floor. There might be a step into the bathroom though“
“Our first visit. Won’t be our last. Good to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. Rice and beans could have been warmer. Music just a tad loud. Difficult to have a conversation. Still will go back. Mushroom and Pork Belly tacos were delish.“
“The food is ALWAYS amazing! The service is always on point! Everyone is so nice and helpful and welcoming! It's such a entertaining environment. They use fresh squeezed juice on all their cocktails so the drink are on point every time! It's literally my favorite place to go after work! Z, Zip, James, Calvin, and Tony are all the best and always make the experience so perfect. This is THEE after work spot and I doubt that changes anytime soon!“
“My first experience at District Jerk was I’m not the best. They seemed to be having a not so good night with the heat coming through the open walk up window competing with the AC and more orders than food. However, Manager Marissa completely turned the experience around. She asked to join us then took a seat at our table and talked to us and reassured us that that day was an anomaly. That we should give District Jerk another chance. We ended up taking our food to go and boy was the food good. The softest most flavorful oxtail! And my son said that the jerk wings were then best he’d had (I can’t speak on it bc he ate them alllll down to the bone). Bc of the experience, because of Marissa’s demeanor, we went back two weeks later! We had the salmon, the curry goat and the Rasta pasta. Chef’s kiss. We are now regulars!“
“Let me tell you…..that Pescado Fritas…….loooooord have mercy. I went back the next day after my first try. Best fried fish I have had EVER!!!! It melts in your mouth like butter. They put it on top of a leaf of lettuce. I will be back here on the regular.“
