Great experience. Food came out hot and fresh and was bursting with flavor. The staff was very polite and attentive. I never had to “wonder” where my server was as she checked on me at regular intervals. The facility was surprisingly clean and taken care of which of course was a good surprise. Definitely recommend.

I was looking for breakfast before my flight. I almost went to the crepe place but didn’t like that all the tables surrounding it were dirty. El Centro looked clean and inviting. Besides, this was the only sit down restaurant with table service in Terminal B/C that was open for breakfast at 6:30 am in the morning.
I was seated right away at a table near a TV. Donna was amazing. She asked almost immediately if I wanted coffee after giving me a glass of ice cold water. The coffee was pretty good, and very much appreciated. The service was great!
I ended up getting the breakfast torta with bacon instead of chorizo. It had a fried egg, oaxaca cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and pickled slices of jalapeno. It was actually very satisfying. I also liked that the breakfast potatoes were crispy. I’d get the same breakfast again. I didn’t feel like it was the same old breakfast platter served at all airport restaurants. The menu had breakfast burritos, tacos, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and even churros. I almost got the churros. I later found out that my husband had the churros at this very same restaurant a couple of years ago. I might get that next time. The food was also reasonably priced. It ended up being a very good breakfast option at Washington Reagan National Airport.

Pretty good Tex-mex restaurant at DCA! The portion sizes were pretty good. The chips and Queso are my favorite and the service was top-notch, making my airport dining experience a delightful one.

A nice mexican restaurant conveniently situated just next to C28 gate, at the Reagan airport. I had the burger gluten free (no bread), and chips and salsa. Great taste.

I had an hour to kill before flight so I sat at the bar and had a margarita and steal quesadillas. Was really good. The had a spicy mayo in it that I thought was good. Friendly service. And food came out quickly. I think you’ll enjoy this place if you have time for a drink and/or food. Give it a shot!
I have now been here 3 times. I’ve had the same bartender each time and she’s been great. I have always ordered the same food and also been great every time. I think this is my go to spot to wait for my flights in terminal C at DCA

This is a restaurant in the DCA airport in the terminal. Decent place to get breakfast while you’re waiting for your flight. It’s nice that they have lots of electrical outlets. The food was okay. Not bad but not spectacular. The service though was excellent. My waitress checked on me often and kept my coffee fresh.

I ordered a chicken Quesadilla to go while I was waiting for my plane and not only was I disappointed by the food, the customer service wasn’t any better. The servers were working with the whole COVID safety policy by making sure that everyone was social distancing and that only a limited number of customers were seated. This was understandable but the hostess at the front was not the friendliest and didn’t seem to care about helping the customers waiting in line. She seemed more frustrated that she was at work than trying to get peoples orders right and assigning seats. I had to keep asking her to speak up as I was trying to understand what she was asking me, you could tell that she didn’t care. She also gave away a table to a different customer when she had told another customer that there was a wait. The single customer saw that and approached her about it and the hostess basically brushed it off and apologized. The customer just walked off to a different restaurant, the sad part is that all she wanted was a place to site and drink while she waits for her plane.
As for my Chicken Quesadilla, the chicken was flavorless, inside the wrap the cheese was fine but the cream cheese or sour cream, (whatever it was) was just too much. The sprinkles of tomatoe pieces on top were pointless. The sugary sauce that was dressed over it just seemed out of place.
I would not recommend this place for their chicken quesadilla if you’re waiting on your flight. Their customer service could use some work also.

Food is realistically overpriced by ~40%. Burger was otherwise reasonable, fries were good, service was good, margarita was strong.
Would give five starts if this food was being served at a reasonable price at a dive bar.

Nice place near gate 27-34 in terminal C of DCA airport. Caught breakfast here before a long flight back west. Their menu has alcoholic drinks and breakfast items. Like any place at the airport, it’s overpriced. I ordered coffee and huevos rancheros. Coffee was 3.30 per cup. Sugar, Splenda and half and half are on the table. The lady next to me had a mimosa that looked delicious. Food came out on corn tortillas that were uncooked and looked very raw or not warmed. The waitress was super nice and fixed it for me. The resulting dish was really good. I would eat here again if by myself. Maybe not with a big party as it is pricey.
