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

“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 family owned restaurant has amazing food. Beautifully plated and the flavors were unlike any Mexican restaurant I've been to and much to the better. The wait staff was that perfect combo of checking in on the table but not interrupting too often. The owner personally stopped by our table and was just a lovely person. Let her talk you into the cheesecake flan. You won't regret it.“

“Awesome civiche, Mahi Mahi was the fish last time. Getting ready now to go down for taco Tuesday! So far, very impressed with this place! awesome job team!“

“great services! good drinks!“

“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.“

“Absolutely spectacular! 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.“

“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!“

“Food was Excellent.“

“We dined in this evening for snacks and drinks and Tollie took great care of us. He made excellent recommendations (taquitos atun and churros, notably) we ordered the pitcher of Ponche de Lola which was perfect to share! Wonderful Sunday evening“

“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.“

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

“Great brunches… will be back soon!“

“Delivery through Uber. Excellent fresh and tasty food. Well packaged. Great presentation. Best Mexican we've had in a long time.“

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

“Drinks and food is great!“

“The food is pretty good. They give you a lot of it. I mean, like more than is healthy or normal or safe. My wife said I didn’t have to eat all of it, but I did. I got fajitas. It was enough to fill a Volkswagen Golf. Not a big car, but more space than you would normally need to store a fajita.“

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

“Delicious vegan fare in a quaint setting. The service can be a bit slow, but the excellent food makes the wait worth one's while. We look forward to many more visits to Chaia!

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegan versions of enchiladas and quesadillas“

“Happy hour on a Friday night during a busy weekend in DC, the staff took the time to accommodate a group of 13 hungry, thirsty people. I can't speak highly enough of their can-do attitude to let us sit together. The drinks and food were delicious.“

“In my opinion, these are the best tacos in the area, and made me feel like I was in Southern California. The lengua, mixto, and el pastor are all amazing and come with the perfect accoutrements and both green and red sauce. Also, each time I’ve visited this truck, all of the workers have been so friendly and welcoming. El Chilango is always my first recommendation to people looking for delicious and authentic tacos“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“Excellent tacos with crispy corn tortillas. Had the pork, chorizo, shrimp, fish, and queso birria. Highly recommend the pork and chorizo. This place is more accurately described as a food truck with a picnic table next to it. Reminds me of a lot of places in TX. Love it.“

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

“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“

“We took a group of 60 people to this place for dinner and it was half adults and half 5th Graders. Nestor was so accommodating and the staff was amazing! The food was even better.“

“Overall decent experience.
The flavor of the enchiladas was good, though the chicken was a little dry. The guac could have used some lime, but it's still among the better restaurant guac.
Service was good at first but became spotty as more customers rolled in, understandably.“

“We had such a great lunch. Was so good…. All the family loved it“

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

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

“Son muy amables bien servicio las bebidas excelentes muy buena comida yo les recomiendo“

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

“Absolutely fantastic food!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing authentic food, warm and attentive staff. These people are the real deal! I highly recommend you find your way here!“

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