“10/21/2025- I stopped here, after Community Choir rehearsal to grab three soft shell tacos and a mango Fresca beverage! Yum! Yummy! Good! Great place, super clean inside, food team very nice, personable and professional, and quick! Food order was fast!!! Love it! Had a great fast food experience!“

“The place is filthy. Empty restaurant yet every table was dirty and trash cans were filled to the rim.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“great services! good drinks!“

“The service at the table was fantastic. However, the host’s service was terrible. Our reservation was at 6:30 p.m., and we waited for about 15 minutes or more to be seated. There was no notice or indication that our table was ready.“

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

“I have been coming here for years. The food is great.“

“great happy hour until 7pm“

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“Vera is probably the coolest place in DC! Not only is the food incredible but the environment, the staff and the vibe knows no rival in the city. My wife and I love the place so much we decided to have our wedding there and with the help of the amazing Milena we had the best time at our wedding. From the food, to the drinks, to the party, to every small detail, Milena, Fatema, Dusan and the entire Vera team made sure we would have the best day ever and we did. Whether just grabbing lunch or looking for a place to celebrate, this is where!“

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

“Cristian and Tanika took great care of my Husband and I on his birthday. It was our first time here and the food was quick, fresh, delicious! The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We chose to dine in and I am glad that we did. Cristian was an absolute sweetheart and was very patient with us. Tanika was amazing and a great host and was very knowledgeable with a kind spirit. I am only coming to the Riverdale location from now on. Thanks team!“

“Food was Excellent.“

“Absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend!“

“We were hungry on a Friday night and as traditional Catholics, many of us observe the meat fasting on Fridays every Friday, so we decided to get some food where we could quickly get seafood on a Friday night. A few of us got some shrimp quesadillas and I was honestly surprised at how comforting tbe quesadillas were. Coming from Texas and from a mexican household, it definitely held up to the quesadilla standard. Good stuff.“

“The staff is always so accommodating of our family with two small children and a giant wagon stroller. We absolutely come here for the generous inKind promotions, too! Thank you for making us feel welcome!“

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

“The fresh guacamole was excellent, the burrito was absolutely delicious, and the bowl was packed with flavorful ingredients. The chef even came out to ask if our family was enjoying the meal, which was a very thoughtful. Great service, great food, and a wonderful quick stop near the capitol and library of congress.“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Very nice place good flavor decent prices some may say it’s better than chipotle some say it’s not, my only gripe for me is I’ll avoid the onions not because I don’t like them but only because the chop is big and can overpower your food other than that yummy in my tummy“

“Beyond delicious, the best Mexican food in DMV“

“Fui almorzar y me pedí una fajita de carne y estaba muy buena, la recomendo.“

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

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“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.“

“We had been wanting to try this venue for a while, so we decided to visit on a weekend between lunch and dinner. To our delight, the restaurant wasn’t crowded, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.

We opted for the Un Poco de Todo, a selection of the restaurant’s most popular bites. To our surprise, the portions were incredibly generous and the prices were incredibly reasonable. Our favorite was Empanadas de mariscos. We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning for more delicious food.“

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

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

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

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

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“My husband had my surprise 50th here. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make this night memorable. The owner did everything he could to make everyone have a great experience. The food was outstanding! By far the best Mexican food around!“

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

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

“Visited San Pacho today and overall had a really solid experience. I had the quesadilla, and my friend got the California burrito—which comes loaded with fries inside and was honestly really good and filling. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer non-alcoholic slushies. I tried the guava one and it was so good, super refreshing and definitely a standout. I was a little surprised they don’t offer tacos, but the menu still has great options that hit the spot. The food, staff, and overall vibe were all on point—friendly service and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned. Only heads-up is parking can be a bit tricky on busier days, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great spot I’d definitely come back to.“

“The best taco spot around.“

“Really enjoyed ! love the Papusas 😃“

“So so good. If you’re over near IKEA highly recommend this place. We got burritos and some of the best we’ve had out of California. I got the azada and my husband got the carnitas. The tortillas are fresh and everything is distributed perfectly. We’ll be back!“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Me gusta mucho este lugar, buen servicio, buena comida y agradable ambiente!😍😋“

“We came to this location today with a group of students who were taking cups and filling them up without paying. They were so gracious and patient with us, and on top of that the food was so, so good. I ordered the deluxe fish tacos and one was plenty! If I'm ever back in DC, I'll be eating here again!“

“Very tasty food, pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. Will come back,“
