“Just tried Charlies Bowl and we'll definitely be repeat customers. Ordered the 10 taco meal (chicken, pork, chorizo) and they were all delicious. The Latin Sandwich we split as well was amazing. I hope the kitchen stays open in Vienna.“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Wilber ( both the waiter and the manager) are amazing! I love coming here with my wife and friends. They’re super accommodating and take the time to talk to me and my friends and make me feel part of their family. This location is absolutely amazing. I’ve gone to other and none of them compare to this one. Recommend 20/10“

“A great job fr over 30 years -- a neighborhood favorite continues to produce.“

“Big plate of good food for a reasonable price“

“Came to Laredo after a busy day at the zoo and I am so glad I did. First of all the staff is very sweet and friendly. Secondly, the food was all very fresh and very filling! The margs were some of the best I had as well. Worth every penny and whenever I come to the area I would definitely come again.“

“Best Margaritas!! Great place to hang out and converse with folks at the bar. By far the most inviting atmosphere I’ve seen in a while in the area.“

“i really like the vibes here and the atmosphere is super fun and vibrant! it's also beautifully designed and i love all the different areas so it's perfect for diff size groups or diff seating spaces. i also love the upstairs area, even though it's not meant for this purpose, i really like it for pictures because it's very cute and also when it's not serving anybody it's good to take pics there because you're not in anybody's way or disturbing anybody which is helpful. as someone who likes to take pics when they're out i definitely noticed this and appreciated it again even though that's not what it's for. the food is also so good and as a mexican it's really hard esp in this area to find mexican food that tastes pretty authentic but i have to say this def lived up to the standards i have from growing up eating mexican classics. only thing i didn't like was the smores, just didn't meet the mark for me they were cool conceptually but just not tasty to be honest but definitely a cool idea. everything else is great but i do wish they had more drink options esp for non alcohol drinkers like me who still wanna be able to have a virgin marg or mojito with a cool flavor. but for a new spot they have great options. what i really came on here for is to leave a review for the best server i've had at ometeo this far, jose m. he was so kind and inviting and truly made my family and i feel welcomed. the past couple times i have come, the servers i have had have been kind of rude and unhappy or not attentive. i was really scared to bring my mexican mom and mother in law here because i wasn't sure if the food and atmosphere would make up for the service which is arguably the most important, but luckily thanks to jose, i didn't have to worry. he was so helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable as well. i hope to see him soon and to sit in his section next time i come! he definitely made this experience fun, and really turned my opinion of this place around!“

“We had a wonderful experience dining here! Our server checked on us regularly to make sure everything was going well. There was a slight delay with one of our drinks, but they handled it so graciously — they apologized and comped it without us even asking.

The food was fantastic. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, and the steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Everything arrived quickly, and the server provided extras as requested.

The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. It’s a great spot for family celebrations. There’s also a cute outdoor patio with plenty of seating — perfect for a casual hangout or date night.

And don’t skip the spicy margaritas — they’re strong, flavorful, and have just the right kick. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the overall vibe.“

“Great meal, and extremely filling! The dining rooms and bathrooms are works of art 🎨! Our server was the lovely Evelin who was as gracious and accommodating as she could be!

I've made visits to this Chuy's location and I must praise Karen, who is a terrific server who gives superb food recommendations and makes anyone feel at home here. I can honestly say I've never anything but exceptional, tasty, generous meals here that are very reasonably priced!“

“Fresh fresh fresh… Tasty tasty tasty… variety variety variety… I go back all the time just to trying something new on the menu because I am convinced they put in extra effort to prepare the dishes as it should. More importantly I am convinced the ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced unlike other places where the ingredients have been overly processed/preserved. If you understand ‘fresh’ in terms of food, this is the place to be.“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“One if the best places ever.Not just for food,but that if a kind word.A must go to place“

“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.“

“This is the single greatest burrito I’ve had in my entire life“

“The name is a little misleading. They serve authentic Latin American cuisine. Not a huge place, seating is limited. Consider takeout. I’m a huge fan of their salteñas and fried plantains. Very affordable. Entree portions are generous in my opinion. I’ve only been for lunch and dinner. The bakery case has lots of treats that I need to explore.“

“Open late and everything tasted so fresh and authentic! We were looking for something to eat late on a Sunday night and a friend recommended Picamas since they lived nearby. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was so good. The tortilla was really soft and the chicken was so flavorful and went really well with the rice and veggies in the burrito. The owner was so friendly and they really made an effort to prepare our meal for us. Overall great food and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food. The service was quick And our waiter was amazing.“

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

“This restaurant is beautiful, It used to be my favorite years ago, but now they had changed the food quality and quantity. Thwir burritos used to be mainly beef and double the size of the oens they serve now, also their margaritas were huge and natural fruit.“

“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!“

“I spent a couple hours here because my flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Cosmos were perfectly pink. (If they’re clear and red they’re not made correctly) and only $6 during Happy Hour. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, Cosmos I ordered the Bora Bora marinated chicken without the tortilla over rice. It was delicious! The chicken was so tender and tasty and all the flavors were wonderful. I also enjoyed watching the surfers on TV,. The waves relaxed me instead being stressed out over a delayed flight. Definitely recommend this place for its casual atmosphere and good food. Even if you don’t like Mexican!“

“To Go order was great. Food was excellent“

“Great food, don’t like that I cannot see my order at checkout and am just told what i owe. I like to see the itemization.“

“Yep 👍 it was really good!“

“We really enjoy visiting this Anita's location for breakfast. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food is delicious and generous, and the prices are reasonable. The customer service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciate our regular waitress, Lupita, who is always prompt and cheerful, greeting us with a smile! Highly recommend.“

“Looking for a fun activity with our family before Thanksgiving, we chose bowling. The prices were definitely cheaper than commercial locations. The place was clean with stations every few lanes with balls organized by color and weight. There were ramps available for anyone to use if necessary. There is also the ability to set bumpers to raise and lower for an individual in your group. You have the ability to edit your score, which is great because a few times pins would fall on their own and add to the score. There were options for scoring using regular bowling rules or other fun games. While we didn’t eat there, but there were plenty of food and drink selections. My only issue was the balls were very oily and the finger holes were very small. Staff said that’s how they were ordered but offered me a small container of baby powder to use.“

“Out of the several restaurants and food joints I visited in DC, from all different types, this place was actually my favorite. The girls working there were SO sweet and were nice enough to make recommendations since we were from out of state. I got 2 burritos (taking one back with me to my hotel for later) and they were perfect. I got the country style one that had the ham and gravy and the other was the chorizo burrito. The chorizo was my favorite. I'm so sad that we don't have one in California!“

“calidad le doy 5 estreyas es un comidon“

“By far my favorite Sushi place!“

“This was the first time I have eaten here. OMG! The Anitarita is to die for!!!! The food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely be returning!“

“Edited 10/24 to note that it looks like they brought some old menu items back so we will give them another chance.

Original review:
We loved this place when it opened and we went weekly all last year. But they completely changed the menu for the Del Ray location when they opened their Mosaic location and it’s not the same. What really irks me is that they still use photos from their old menu in all of their marketing when it doesn’t match what they’re serving. The menu changes really don’t mesh with the outdoor vibe of the Del Ray location and it really takes away from the experience.

The combo plates and smaller tacos on the old menu were the perfect for sharing and trying a bunch of everything. They also had some great menu items they removed, including the mac and cheese that was mentioned by WaPo as one of the best in the city.

Now, instead of getting a combo platter and selecting sides that come on a platter you have to choose one meat and it comes on a personal plate with rice and beans, as if it’s a sit down Tex Mex restaurant instead of something unique. We already have four of those within walking distance of the Del Ray spot. Another change they made is that when you order a taco, you get one larger taco instead of two smaller tacos that can be shared. The menu doesn’t specify that, and we were expecting something different because we were used to the old menu. I ordered the fish taco, which sounded great, but was really bland.

The changes are a real disappointment. I used to love recommending this place to friends, and the meat is still great, but I feel like this place has lost what made it special wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to eat here.

Editing to adjust this downward. We tried to give this place a few more chances over the summer and after last night we are not coming back. Start to finish, it was a really awful experience. We waited at an empty hostess stand for several minutes before we saw anyone and then sat at our table for fifteen minutes before anyone showed up. We never got water. Only two of the five items we ordered came out correctly. The food was cold and honestly just kind of gross. We saw our server twice the entire time we were there and watched someone who ordered takeout return their order because half of it was missing. Whoever is running this place just doesn’t care about it anymore. It’s really sad. We used to love it here but it’s just awful.“

“I have gone to them during my lunch break during my work day.They are a husband and wife tag team in there.They work very hard to please others please show them some love .The food is great.I have even taking my son and daughter there .Because of how family oriented they are. Small business needs more interest.Its a Bang for your buck! And the food is outstanding!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“The employees here are always so friendly and welcoming! The serving sizes are very reasonable and the ingredients always seem pretty fresh! Only issue is sometimes when going in the evening for dinner the rice is crunchy, but otherwise we love going here! Love when they have taco shell bowls!“

“Really good food & affordable place to eat when you use your Moe’s app rewards. I hardly get takeout yet I was able to get a free soft taco and chips with different salsas and sauces with free guacamole to go using my app reward points last year & reward. I liked the new additional sauces they added. The service was great and they got me two samples of ranch sauce quickly since it ran out at the self serving area. The ambiance of the place was simple and clean. I came there late at night when they were near closing time (10 PM). was glad to get there in time. The free chips they gave with my taco were still delicious the next day and still good to eat after heating in the microwave. Actually they were the best chips I ever got from a Mexican food place. Will definitely visit this Moe’s more often. Cheers!“
