While the shrimp and fried cod tacos are an extra $0.25, honestly, it was plenty of protein to go around. My fav was the al pastor with the chopped piña! Delicious. All around, no frills, just good tacos when you are looking for something semi-fast and not wanting to spend fifty bagillion dollars on dinner. I also suggest sitting out on the side walk table-- good people watching spot since it is in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. All in all, good vibes, good tacos.

I had dinner here recently and I enjoyed the casual nature of the spot. I've gone to their previous location, which had a fire, and I like this current location much better even if it doesn't seem as popular as before. The food remains the same. Good, but not the best mexican. Though, I was spoiled living in california previously. The tacos and dips are the winner here. The quesadillas are heavy with the thick corn meal outer coating. It's just not to my taste. Overall, it's a great spot though. If it's nice weather, this is a go-to to sit on the deck. On my visit, they didnt have a liquor license but they now have it!

Rajas: This was my wife's favorite by far. Al Pastor: Far and away my favorite taco. Carne Asada: Tasted great and was what we wanted. Suadero/Carnitas/Pollo: These were fine. They lacked the intense flavors of the other tacos and while none were bad, I wouldn't get them again. Shrimp: My wife did not really like this one. Passionfruit Flan: Very subtle and not too sweet. The price was great and it was larger then expected. We enjoyed this. We enioyed our dinner on the upper outside patio and the service was great. The guy who delivers the food is so cheerful and our server gave great recommendations.

We ordered the tacos al pastor, the birria tacos, shrimp tacos, and carne ones. They were all delicious!! The tortillas don't break up, they have a lot of filling and the seasoning is so so good. I wish I'd taken pictures of them, but they didn't last long! Too good. The sauces that came with them were great too! The margaritas are so good, you need to be careful not to drink them too fast haha. My favorites were the peach margarita and the tamarindo one. However, the mint and cucumber one was super refreshing, and if you're feeling adventurous I recommend trying one of the jalapeño ones! It is spicy though. My friend couldn't handle it and that's why I ended up drinking it. It was really good! The ambience is great too. The owner personally greats everyone when he's there, the waiters are really friendly and make sure to check in regularly to make sure you have everything you need! Overall, the place is great for a laid back lunch or evening, with yummy food and drinks! I hear they have karaoke nights too. Not sure when... I'll definitely have to try it out. Fully recommend!

The waitress/owner said they ran out of cheese, so I spite of this I ordered from the regular menu the chicken tacos to go. I don't know why they were not included as a special but whatever. Waited for about 20 minutes and when they arrived I had 3 small flour tortillas with chicken, no lettuce, tomato, or salsa with slices of radishes and cukes. Complete failure all around!

Came here with a few of my friends on the day of Porchfest. We came around 5:30 and were able to…read moreget a table and seated very quickly. The staff are very friendly, however, it took a while to order and get our food and drinks even though it was not very busy. Having worked in restaurants for years, I completely understand some days are busier than others whether they are understaffed that day or back ups in the kitchen. We expected some delays due to Adam's Morgan being very busy that day. We ordered a Mango Margarita Pitcher for 3 of us and were disappointed when the pitcher did not even fill up 3 of our glasses. We each got a little more than half of a drink and were charged $45 for it. It would have been cheaper to do our own individual margaritas for $13. Our food was pretty good, however, we never did end up getting the complimentary chips and salsa and kept accidentally getting the table next to us's order. I shared the shrimp, steak and chicken fajita with my friend and the chicken and shrimp were really good but I was not a fan of the steak personally. It came with beans and rice mixed together and tortillas. I am not a fan of beans so i did not like that it was mixed but that was a personal preference. I wish it came with guacamole, sour cream or pico. Overall I would give it another chance but would not get the pitcher again. The margarita was okay but not very good and that might be due to the pitcher having a lotttt or ice in it. Our server was nice and i can tell they were just a little overwhelmed.

The staff answered all of my questions and were patient with me as I tried to speak in Spanish. They all speak English, but I wanted to at least try some Spanish. I got the shrimp enchiladas with mole. The enchiladas also have zucchini and squash that made for a great flavor and texture combo. Also, the rice and beans were top tier!! I am a rice and beans connoisseur, so I know when I taste a good batch. The rice was cooked to perfection! My friend got a burrito bowl and she couldn't stop raving how fresh and flavorful it was. They have a large patio and several house made drinks that I'd like to go back and try. I highly recommend this place!

What a scorcher of a day! I was on the way up to meet for a party, and it was a long walk from the…read moremetro. I decided to make a stop along the way to break up the walk. Yelp helps me to discover this place, and even though there was no happy hour at the time, it was a nice stop. The menu is primarily mexican, but I see some Salvadorian on there too (mainly pupusas). I didn't see an option for single tacos, so I opted for just one loroco pupusa. The event I was going to was food, so I wanted to keep it light. I wanted to try a drink too, and just opted for a regular margarita. When I was given the option of either a regular or a large, I had to go with the latter. The margarita came in one of those delightful chalices, and I got a tajin rim. The pupusa was delicious, but this was one of the few times I had to eat it with a knife and fork because it was so hot, and a sauce made it kind of messy. It was great otherwise! It was the perfect amount of food for me at the time. While I was there, a few parties came through and mainly sat outside. I was the only one inside, and the staff were lovely. I don't find myself up there very often, but I would return. Some of the items are pricey -- $4 pupusas are a perfect example.

Happy Hour Alert!…read more First, why did I take so long to check out this gem?! Well, I'm glad that I finally did because my Happy Hour experience was fantastic!!!!! No reservations made, we made the decision to visit at the spur of the moment and the hostess was very accommodating. Shoutout to our incredible waitress Maria! Thank you for your recommendations and hospitality. Happy Hour- the prices and the portions are beautifully matched in that they were affordable and generous in serving. Drinks: I ordered the passion fruit margarita which was AMAZING! The liquor to passion fruit juice ratio was spot on and the drink had a little smokiness to it, thanks to the dried fruit added on top. My next drink was the white sangria which was okay but I think that my experience with the margarita made it hard for me to enjoy this drink right after. It wasn't bad, just wasn't my favorite like the margarita was lol My last drink was the espresso martini (not on the HH menu). This drink was worth every penny and now added to my top 20. Food: Spicy creamy shrimp- a dish so delicious, we ordered another one. The crunch on the shrimp set the tone for the burst of flavor to follow. The shrimp was fresh and the flavors combined so well. Mejillones en curry, which came with a slice of blue corn bread, was absolutely delicious! The curry sauce was such a hit that we talked about it long after dinner ended. Using it as a dipping sauce for the blue corn bread was also a good touch. This dish was creamy and the mussels were delicious and fresh. Brussel sprouts- a fun play on roasted Brussels with a delectable peanut butter sauce added. This was another fav, pretty much all of the food was phenomenal but this dish left you wanting more. Lastly, we had the Tostada de Cangrejo which was perfectly topped with crabmeat. The crabmeat was sweet, I cannot explain but the sweet succulent taste was complimented by the creamy guacamole. To conclude an amazing time, we tried their Tres Leches cake and I would say that I didn't like the whipped cream topping but I loved the cake itself. Overall, I had an incredible time. The ambiance was simply beautiful, grown, and sexy. The food was impeccable! And the drinks were divine!

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.
