Pretty basic food, service left a lot to be desired. No complimentary chips and salsa, waitress actually tried to change my order to more expensive option. Fajitas were the worst I’ve had. I travel all the time all over the country. No pick, sour cream, tomatoes or lettuce included which is standard. Limited options for hot sauce with deer in the headlights look when I inquired, and none was included in the meal as a house special or standard. Very underwhelming and disappointing for an established business with multiple locations. Very very below… ruined the evening.

Was lured here by PorchFest deals for a cheap margarita and quesadilla combo. Waited over an hour to receive one small quesadilla and no drinks, and needed to remind the staff multiple times about our order to no avail. After we finally got our food, we were still missing a margarita and never received it until we were on our way out and pushed the matter again. We spent so much time waiting and honestly it really deflated our entire day and mood. It seemed like there was only one waitress, so maybe it was an understaffed day, but margaritas and quesadillas aren’t meant to take so long and the margaritas were pre-made in pitchers and ready to go if it was just served to us. Worst experience in a restaurant we have had in a long time, borderline ridiculous honestly. Will not be returning.

For only having one other person in the restaurant the service was terrible and they kept messing up our order by not bringing the right food or completely forgetting that we ordered it when asked multiple times. The guac was good but price will vary, the carne asada tacos were average with not much flavor and a bit dry. Though the quesabirria was really good.

Delicious and authentic! I ordered the asada sopes which had hand made sopes, beans reminiscent of home, Mexican crema and cheese with salsa de chile de arbol. My husband ordered the torta Hawaiiana which he loved. We will definitely come back!

Service was fine, they were nice. HOWEVER, margaritas were $12 and served in a water-cup that was batched and all lime juice. There was an event going on around so no tables, that was fine, we were going to take the food to go. As we waited trying to order food we looked around to see others food and it was a thin tortilla with hardly any meat inside. Finally, the worst part: there was a roach ON the bar where people were eating. We walked out. Disgusting. Would never come back.

I typically order takeout from here a few times a year after my hair appointments. The grilled chicken molcajete portion was rather small this time, with only a single, thin piece of chicken and a small scoop of beans and rice. The extra side of nopales I ordered was also smaller than usual..

The food and drinks are amazing. As a Mexican and LA native, I didn’t think I’d find authentic Mexican food in DC. The pambaso (red torta) was better tasting than some that I’ve had in Mexico City. The asada torta was solid, but man that pambaso is to die for. Still thinking about it. For drinks we tried the Jamaica with mezcal, it was very refreshing, not too sweet, and perfect kick of mezcal at the end. Overall I’d say the food was great in quality and quantity for the price. The service was awesome , our waiter Francisco Javier is a little slice of heaven. Super conversational and friendly. Give that man a raise!

As someone with Mexican roots who is from Texas, I’ve been waiting for this spot to open for a few weeks now, so when I saw that it was open, I immediately jumped on the opportunity to order takeout. My order was done within 15-25 minutes. When I walked in for pick up, there wasn’t anyone at the entrance except for a family of customers who were already seated and dining. A few minutes after standing around, a young man came up and asked for my name and order. Shortly after, he delivered my order and I went on my way. For context, I ordered an asada taco, an asada sope, and a chicken sope. The second I opened the taco box, I was surprised to see a homemade tortilla (two to be exact). The portion of meat was on the smaller side and had a few fatty pieces, but overall tasted well marinated. My one complaint is that I wish they would’ve added more cilantro to the taco. It was sparse and affected the potential of the flavor. The sopes were similarly good, though they were unfortunately completely soggy by the time I got home. I wish they were a little thicker to be able to hold it while eating it. As they stand now they resemble a huarache more than a sope. I will note that I appreciate the pinto beans they add to the sope. They’re not refried beans, though, so don’t go in anticipating refried beans on your sope. Apart from the minimal details I mentioned, I’d recommend this place to anyone searching for a good, authentic Mexican food. By far, this is the best proper Mexican restaurant I’ve tried in the DMV. I echo everyone’s sentiments in the reviews regarding how DC has been needing a place like this one. Forget all the other establishments in the area, please make this spot your go-to if you want authenticity. They have a lot of group seating so bring your friends and family with you.

Food was phenomenal. Ordered the poblano taco. Different, but very good! Service was mediocre.
Was visiting from out of town, would eat here again if in the area.

First time here, after a glowing recommendation. Sadly, the nachos that I ordered during Happy Hour was horrible – the queso was watered down. After telling the server he said “I’ll take it off your bill, because you are no longer welcome here.” Ok, so it’s not like I’d be back and he did me a favor, but the atmosphere in Adams Morgan is great and was super disappointed about this service, and watered down queso. I would have come back for the HH hour Coronas.
