“Busy, busy place, but still managed to provide excellent service. As a part of a group of, 16 we sat outside under some welcome shade.
All the meals were well presented and delicious. Food boxes were supplied for those of us who had too much.
Certainly a popular spot and I would recommend.“

“Excellent experience, excellent food, and excellent service! Thanks Lenny!“

“My partner and I came in for dinner and left thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Mex Amigo taco, Greek taco, steak quesadilla, and grilled misfitz, and every single dish delivered. Everything is made in house—down to the sour cream, salsa, and even the shredded cheese. As two people who are pretty health conscious and cook exclusively with olive oil at home, we really appreciated that Wild Tacoz does the same. It made the meal feel just as clean as it was delicious.

The flavor was incredible across the board—rich, fresh, and clearly made with love. Every bite tasted like it came from people who genuinely love what they’re doing. Honestly, a solid 100/10!!

On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. James, the owner, along with Teddy and Helena, were warm, kind, and made us feel completely welcome. Their hospitality alone make this place worth visiting.

We will absolutely be back, and we’d recommend this family-owned gem to anyone looking for a fresh, flavorful, and genuinely heartfelt dining experience.“

“Pulled pork Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts is what I had. It was seasoned just right!!! We had a sweet waitress as well. Highly recommend this gem!“

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!“

“Best hot dogs around, great customer service. The staff is great and the food is delicious. Try the “Dog Father”!“

“What a hidden gem Dionne’s and Scarlet & Oak are! I ordered the chicken sandwich and crab fries… and YUM! My friend ordered the fish sandwich and crab fries and our total was $28. For DC, that’s inexpensive but even better, it was delicious. The entire space is beautiful, clean, and bright. This would be a great place for many different types of events. I’m already thinking about who and what I can bring back to it so we ensure the local businesses within are supported and it stays open for years to come.“

“I Love this Place!!! Great Prices, Food and Customer Service!!! I Did Not Get a Chance to Take Other Pictures But The Next Trip I Will. Awesome Grilled Chicken Salad With Great Flavor!!! This Place Needs Longer Hours of Operation...! But, it’s Still The Best Small Deli Shop in the DMV Area!!!“

“The food was delicious and Alejandro was a great server! He was very personable and prompt! We had the salmon cakes, banzino fish, w/greens, red beans & rice. The only thing that needed a smidge more seasoning was the fried green tomatoes. The first time I ordered them they were seasoned perfectly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the nicely cooked breakfast potatoes! This is my 3rd trip here, and I will be back!“

“Food was great akmal's kitchen put a lot of effort preparing live BBQ and serving, Lamb chops were a hit we had a party of 65 ppl everyone asked us about the food, where did you get it from? Was a common question.

Everything was great made our daughters graduation party memorable, Thank you!“
