“Great food great service!“

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

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“Great food! The only complaint I have is the laptop policy which prevents this from being a place to get work done especially over the weekend. However that’s subjective and I can understand some of the reasoning. The food is outstanding“

“The food is exceptional but the ambiance is lacking. When you're paying almost 200 dollars per person at minimum, the table shouldn't have scratches and there should be some dedicated 4 seat table, rather than two small tables pushed together unevenly.“

“We ate there and everything was delicious. Tried new foods too. The kids even loved theirs“

“Nice! The food was good and a very accommodating staff.“

“I don’t usually write reviews—when I do, it’s because the experience was either exceptionally bad or truly outstanding. This one might be a bit long, so let’s start from the beginning. It’s been 10 years since I moved to Virginia, and I have to say, I love it here. That said, I do miss the beaches and the incredible food from Miami. Ever since I moved, I’ve been searching for the perfect spot—a place where both the food and the service are amazing. Let’s be honest, that’s hard to find. Often, the food is great but the service is just okay, or the service is excellent but the food falls short. When looking for a place to celebrate my wedding anniversary, a few options came up, and one of them was Sabores Tapas Bar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it there at the time and ended up going to two other places—one was okay, the other was awful. Later, I told my wife we needed to try Sabores, maybe on New Year’s Day. Again, we ended up at a “safe” spot we like to visit. The food and service were good, but it was just our usual go-to. Fast forward to last week: my best friend from Puerto Rico came to visit with his family. He loves to eat, and his wife can be hard to please. This time, we decided to go to Sabores Tapas Bar. I’ll admit, I was nervous—I wanted them to have a great experience, but pleasing everyone is never easy. Finally, we went. What can I say? The food was amazing, and the service was just as incredible. It was so good we couldn’t stop eating. I had high expectations—growing up, my house was always full because my friends came over for my mom’s cooking. She’s an amazing cook. Mom, forgive me for saying this, but Sabores Tapas Bar is as good as, if not better than, your cooking, and the service was amazing. Wow. I’ve found the place. It’s so good that I want to go back and try dishes I normally don’t like, just to see if they can make me love them. I can’t wait to return. My taste buds have found the love of their life at Sabores Tapas Bar.“

“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!“

“Delicious neighborhood place serving Guatemalan food and some Mexican inspired dishes. The service is friendly. The food is dependable and always delicious. They make the chips for guacamole or salsa and chips to order. Entrees come with traditional warm Guatemalan tortillas which are thicker than Mexican tortillas. I use them to pick up the delightful sauces.“

“We enjoyed our evening. It was raining and a Saturday in Memorial weekend and were able to get a reservation late afternoon for 7:30pm which usually unusual in DC. The cocktails were all superb including the mezcal cocktail, the gin cocktail, and the sangria. Definitely the best part. We did not order wine.
We ordered all vegetarian appetizers including the hummus(3/5 star), salad(4/5 star), carrots(4/5 star), tomatoe toast(4/5), Patatas bravas(5/5 star), entree roasted Cauliflower(4/5 star) and the vegetarian Paella(2/5 star as had too much beets and sweetness), flan(5/5 star), churros(4/5 star). It was a little dark and there were not many people this evening which was surprising. We enjoyed dinner for the five of us and was enjoyable. We parked in the Ritz colonial garage and received another ticket when leaving and parking was $10. Do not understand why they can’t comp us. It was pleasant but not out of world but I as enjoyable as healthy food with some good flavors. It was as about $90 a person total including tip reasonable for everyone who had a cocktail, apps, entrees and dessert in upscale DC restaurant. I would recommend a try as if ate fish or meat may be slightly better.“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“Amazing smiles and service! Best tacos in town! Great prices too!“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“10/10, took my wife for our 15 year anniversary and she loved, every delicious bite, every plate had a story to tell,such a wonderful and memorable experience. Gracias!!!“

“I've worked across the street since this place opened and never thought to stop by until today. I asked the cashier to ring me up for whatever he recommended and came back to the office with a pair of spicy beef and spicy chicken salteñas. The guy working the front had great hospitality; he walked me through how to eat it, and what I should expect through my new culinary journey. I loved it! The dough had a nice crisp bite on the outside, paired with the well-seasoned soup on the inside. Kind of reminds me of a South American take on a soup dumpling, and that sounds like all sorts of good. I'll be back for a quick luck break!“

“Had a wonderful dinner with friends - service was great and food unique and delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“Good and healthy easy ti get there and fast service“

“You can really tell how much the owner cares about this place and wants his business to succeed. Super nice guy and incredible customer service.

The desserts were amazing too! Really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back.“

“We had an amazing experience at Selva Restaurant and the Mayflower Club! Our group was fairly large, and Dennis, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. He helped coordinate our dinner and made booking a table afterward at the Mayflower Club incredibly easy and stress-free.

Dennis was professional, welcoming, and made our entire group feel comfortable from start to finish. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations.

Thank you, Dennis, for making our night so enjoyable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Selva Restaurant and the Mayflower Club to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable experience!“

“The food, drinks and service was top notch. Thank you for a great night.“

“Super relaxing spot off CP, they have some of the freshest and tastiest plantains in Arlington. The breakfast was delicious and didn’t feel too heavy. The staff is super friendly too, so I would highly recommended giving it a try!“

“It's spot on El Salvadoran food and affordable. Grab a pupusa, you won't regret it.“

“customer service top notch (livida)“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“It's a food truck and typically you'd go and grab your food and leave. However, there were chairs out there. I would use some of those generated revenues for more tables.

The food is good, but could be better. The service wasn't the fastest but they were short staff. All in all i enjoyed my experience. If they're ever in the northern virginia area. I could see myself stopping by again!“

“A small place so close that many walk by. Everyone seems to know everybody in this neighborhood restaurant bar. I've only been there for the drinks and conversations. Maybe next time I'll order from the menu while seated at the table. The bar area is small but the joy is making new friends. The atmosphere feels private and it's easy to unwind.“

“🍽️ Benito’s: Incredible, Authentic Honduran Food – A Total Gem! A Must-Visit Central American Flavors

If you haven’t been to Benito’s yet, put it at the very top of your list. My little brother took me here for the first time, and it’s safe to say he completely knocked it out of the park with this recommendation. From the moment you see the menu, you know you’re in for an authentic, flavor-packed experience.

Here is the breakdown of the incredible spread we had:

The Main Event: Bistec Encebollado / Fajita Platter
The star of the table was a beautifully executed steak platter, packed with vibrant colors and rich, savory aromas.

The Meat: Tender, perfectly seasoned strips of steak seared to perfection.

The Mix: Sautéed with a generous mix of sweet onions, and crisp red, green, and yellow bell peppers that added the perfect crunch and sweetness.

The Sides: Served alongside a flawless mound of seasoned orange rice, a fresh, crisp salad topped with creamy avocado, diced tomatoes, radishes, and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness.

The Ultimate Comfort: Pupusas
You cannot walk into Benito’s without ordering the pupusas. We got them served hot off the griddle with that signature, beautiful golden-brown char. They were thick, comforting, and stuffed generously. They came paired exactly as they should be:

Curtido: A crisp, tangy, lightly pickled cabbage slaw that adds the ultimate refreshing crunch.

Salsa Roja: A smooth, warm tomato salsa that ties every single bite together.

The Extras
To round out the meal, we had fresh, warm tortillas tucked in foil, a side of rich red beans topped with crumbled cotija cheese, and a sampling of vibrant green and orange hot sauces to kick the heat up a notch.

The Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Benito’s delivers massive flavor, generous portions, and that unmistakable taste of authentic, home-cooked comfort food. Shoutout to my little brother for introducing me to this gem. I will absolutely be back for round two!“

“Friendly service! Try the chicken baleada! Pair it with fried plantains and guanabana!“

“great food, very friendly employees. will eat there again“

“La sopa de mariscos está muy rica La atención es excelente y familiar los recomiendo al 100%“

“Finally got round to trying the ChimiChurri sauce on halloumi…delicious! Last night marinated some chicken thighs with it and was not disappointed! Highly recommend any of Como en Casa’s products…all delicious!“

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

“la comida es rica y el servicio es bueno.“

“Hola si la. Recomiendo PERO QUE MEJOREN LAS PUPUSAS SOLO LES CUENTAN QUE YEVAN QUEZO PERO NO TIENEN LA SALSA NO ESTA BUENA PORQ ES DE ESA ENLATADA SIN SAVOR MEJOR SI LA ISUERAN DE PURO TOMATE SALUDOS A MI TUCAYA CHIQUiTA“

“Delicious and a lot of food for the price. Mainly Venezuelan and Colombian food. Having alfajores and chicha morada on the menu make it Peruvian, too.“

“The vibe is good. The service was very very slow. They kept forgetting to put things in. Not sure if they were short staffed. Don’t waste your time with the chips and dips. They tasted like store bought guacamole and salsa and cheap dollar store bag chips. But other wise the Citron sampler was amazing! We only one drink because again the service was slow. But overall I would try this place again because of the vibe and music.“

“Arepas deliciosas con sabor Colombiano“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“
