Service was great, we sat at the bar which you can overlook outside. The drinks were great! Jalapeño Margarita was so good and spicy! You can watch them make it and they serve you in a Mexican glass. The place is nicely decorated, only suggestion is to remove all the cold white lights and replace them with warm white orange-ish lightbulb. They foods were great quality and good portions. Definitely coming back.
Since my partner just got takeout, this review isn't for the full experience, but even the takeout was good enough to earn four stars. We entered before the lunch/brunch rush on a Sunday, and gave the order for a vegetable burrito on the spot. We waited at the bar, which was very pretty, I could see this being a fun spot in the evening. The burrito was ready less than 10 minutes later, and while my eyebrows shot up at the $17 total cost, I guess it makes sense for the area and that this is a proper restaurant (not a takeout spot) with a fancy bar. Anyway, verdict on the burrito? The quality and the generous portion made my partner decide it was worth the price, for an occasional fancy burrito. Multiple varieties of beans, flavorful Mexican rice, well-cooked peppers and onions distributed evenly throughout the filling, and a tasty sauce on the side. Overall a good meal, but it's probably worth it to do an eat-in next time.
This is the way food should be made. The cheese dip is great. The enchiladas are the best I have eat in a long time. Great food.
We came in on a weeknight and it was very quiet inside with one server who waited on us. They could have used some music because it was quiet inside, but when our food came out, everything was fantastic. Everything was fresh and really great flavors, a step up from a lot of Mexican food in the area in my opinion. I'll be back and hope they get more diners coming in because it's a really nice spot with great food
Uff, a new gem in Adam's Morgan. Street Tacos are superb, you can tell they make their own tortillas. Margaritas on-point, not too sweet. Definitely looking forward to check the rest of their menu.
The food was good and fresh. We were walking by while visiting Adams Morgan and decided to give them a try. No regrets here. I ordered the Texanas Fajitas which comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Everything was tasty. I even enjoyed 2 margaritas to get the night started. The restaurant was empty inside when we arrived, but most people were sitting outside. Our server was outstanding, and the atmosphere was attractive. I will definitely return. 5 Stars!
