“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

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

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

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

“I really liked the variety, food quality and the generous portions. I love bowls and this place just became #1 for me in the area. I live next door and will definitely be coming back often. Attached the picture of the bowl, but there was also a coke and chips included.

I also appreciate Wonder’s mission and the fact they are helping solve DMV’s homelessness problems“

“Their kitchen and bartenders are LEGIT!“

“First time at a Dos Toros but I’ll be back for more. The service was fast and friendly, the protein choices a little broader than other burrito places and i love the way they wrap it in foil (very consistent; looks a little like a tamale). The atmosphere is sort of “vanilla” but it was clean, functional and well appointed. Definitely worth the trip.

“Tell ‘em Hal sent you.” 🐮“

“My favorite place to eat in all of DC and they have carna Asada fries, those that know, know it’s a treasure in San Diego that’s why I like this place so much“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“I’d say this is a solid neighborhood taco spot. I’ve eaten here several times, and it’s been consistently good. The food is fresh, the service is friendly, and it’s a reliable option when you’re craving tacos.

While it may not be the most memorable taco place in town, it’s definitely one I keep coming back to. I’d also choose it over Chipotle any day.“

“Family got the tacos al Pastor and de Suadero with guacamole and chips. Watched the Brazil vs Japan FIFA. Atmosphere was electric with fans. Coming back later for margaritas. Excellent food and taste. Come and sample…. No disappointments here.“

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“Great food, great price point. Happy hour deals M-F 3-7 and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will eat there every day from today through Monday.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Muy buena atención muy rica la comida👌“

“We visited DC for four nights. We ate here twice because it was so good. The happy hour specials were delicious and good deals. The salsa is transcendent. Loved the mojito and the sangria. The carnitas, the tinga de pollo and the esquites were AMAZING! The whole staff is awesome and the atmosphere is so cool.“
