“Me and my friend went here for dinner on a Wednesday. I recommend a reservation even though it didn’t get too crowded until later in the evening. We opted to sit outside but the noise from U street traffic really dampened the atmosphere. They thankfully let us move inside. You order through a QR code or at the bar. We both got their limonadas which were great. And then got their fries to share and I got the masa gnocchi - all delicious! I would definitely go back to try more.“

“Came here with friends to celebrate my birthday. We did the five course tasting menu and left very satisfied! Portions start small and grow throughout. I’m not vegan/vegetarian but thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was bursting with flavor and made with thoughtful ingredients. The cocktails were unique and delicious as well! The service was great — our server was attentive and didn’t bat an eye when I sent back my drink after it not being what I expected. The interior is stunning as well. It is pricey, but worth it for a memorable experience, especially if you are celebrating something!“

“Had dinner there tonight after a couple of lunches outside a few months ago. The decor and ambience are fabulous as was the service and food. And tonight being Saturday they had a really talented Spanish quitar duo. All in all a really fine dining experience. The only sour note was that I had the place to myself, maybe two other tables occupied in a very large restaurant. I don't know what the problem is but readers should try it -- would be a shame for this jewel to go under.“

“Rooftop on the Marriott great atmosphere. The service was good with the chef coming out to greet everyone at their table. They have multiple heaters which was perfect after the sun went down. I had the portobello app, very tasty. Also had the Baked fish dish, good seafood variety and flavor. I wish they served bread though.“

I got the carne asada well done with rice, beans & fresh handmade tortillas everything was extremely fresh and tasty everything was seasoned to perfection. I would recommend this place to family type to friends. It’s diverse. Next time I come here, I’ll definitely be trying more. He also has fresh homemade spicy habanero sauce on the table. It’s so clean here if it was cold inside with the AC on for a summer day, they have TC desserts. I can’t wait to try more. 10/10 -Cynthia“

“We visited Corado’s to have some coffee and ended up drinking several margaritas and eating great guatemaltecos and ceviche. Our server was really friendly and talked with us about the food, the local Latin American community and area. This is a place that you can come for breakfast and work quietly from or it can be a delicious meal out. Authentic Guatemalan food that took me right back to my years in Guatemala. A really lovely place.“
