    Tres Leches - SO GOOD!!
    Michelle R.

    Love the feel of this place, very lively yet low key. A good low buzz of chatter from the patrons. We came in after dinner nearby, so we only had dessert and drinks, but Woweee! The Tres Leches cake was light, of course moist, and pretty dang dreamy! This is one of the best I've had - and it's my usual go to, so I feel qualified to say it's top notch. I ordered a Paloma, and it was one-drink-buzz-girl approved. I'd love to come back and try the ceviche. I'll make sure to stop by soon.

    Cute location in Georgetown with street parking. The back has outdoor seating with heat lamps. Great service and delicious cocktails. Guac and salsa were very fresh.

    I was looking for a quick meal before an event and, I'm glad to have stumbled upon El Sirenito. This restaurant is in an unassuming building. Walked through the doors, and I was transported to a beautiful space and relaxing atmosphere. The bar area featured a long counter top and spacious seating. Behind the bar is a decent collection of mezcals and other spirits. The dining room extends all the way to back and is perfect for large parties. I opted for the bar top seating. I started with their Mezcal Negroni, which was a mix of Mezcal joven, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Absolutely wonderful and perfect for sipping. For a main dish, I ordered the comalito. This dish is a cast iron grilled Royal Ranch carne asada, Gulf of Mexico wild prawns, onions, queso fundido, serrano chile, and avocado. This was served with a basket of hand-made tortillas. The queso was nicely melted. The steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The grill plate may seem small, but the food was filling. Service was attentive, and I would definitely return to try their other mezcals.

    I would like to give this place another go because it has been so highly recommended to me by numerous people. The ambiance was fantastic... The music, the decor, the patio, everything that isn't food related was perfect. Our server was very nice and attentive for a Saturday night.. one of our food items never arrived, but I don't blame them. I think the kitchen was just too fast, which is a shame because what we didn't get was chips and salsa and they looked delicious. The Rockfish enchiladas were pretty good. The red sauce was sweet and smokey with a nice kick. The fish was a little lacking in flavor, but maybe it was just overpowered by the sauce. The rice, also, was a bit bland. My dinner guest got shrimp enchiladas that were extremely salty. Once combined with everything else on the plate, the saltiness was fine, but on its own it was a lot. Like I said before, I'd like to try again, and try something different to understand the high praise this restaurant gets from most people I've talked to.

    Taco Tuesday tacos! $2 per taco. We got one of each
    Erin H.

    Came in after work right before happy hour ended to sneak in a last minute HH margarita, and there was no wait with plenty of seating at 5:50pm on a a Tuesday. The margarita was good with the right amount of lime flavor to tequila ratios and very refreshing. It was also taco Tuesday, so the tacos were $2 each (pretty average pricing). We ordered one of each, and they were all flavorful, but the meat on the chicken and pork was definitely more tender and juicy than the steak. The veggie one was interesting and more filling than I would have expected from a veggie taco (and SPICY), but as a meat lover, I'd just order pork next time. We also got ceviche which was delicious, and I liked the additional pineapple in their version. Unfortunately, it was the same price as all out tacos combined, but to me the ceviche is always worth it. Overall, a solid spot for a happy hour or taco Tuesday! Will definitely return! Parking was okay, with some street and lot parking around the neighborhood.

    Covid Review: Nice that El Sirenito has a large outdoor patio at the back of the property that is fully covered with a plastic tarp. It provides great ambiance along with social distancing with each table having it's own heater. Even with phase 1 restrictions, El Sirenito provides a great experience. I still recommend that you layer your clothing as it can be brisk during these winter months. As for the food and drink, we came during the happy hour where they had $1 off cocktails (includes margaritas). The stand out on the menu where we made 3 orders was the fried oysters that included 5 plump oysters perfectly prepared. These are shucked fresh and came with some tasty sauces. The margaritas are tart, salty and pretty strong drinks, so pace yourself as 1 or 2 is all you need. The appetizer that could have been better was the QUESO FUNDIDO that came in a hot plate that never fully melted and was the consistency of pulled taffy. Overall, El Sirenito has survived the COVID restrictions and is a great place both before and after these lock down rules.

    Happy Hour menu

    A second round of fried oysters almost replaced dessert. Really enjoyed the raw ahi and the Caesar salad had actual fish as well. The clams were good too. Slow service though, perhaps understaffed? Waiting for the dessert I can see to be delivered. Sometime this evening....

    This might be my new favorite place in Georgetown. We moved to Georgetown about a year ago and have been slowly trying every restaurant in town. This might take the crown thus far! First of all everything I have tried so far is delicious. Secondly, mezcal. So many fun mezcal cocktails! Very few places I have been to specialize in this and it's so cool to see! The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend the queso and the ceviche :)

    Had not been to Georgetown or if not for years. Wanted to see history where relatives used to work. This sounds like one of the best restaurants in the area. Food and service was good and food came out from the kitchen quickly.

    Great food, great drinks and cool atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and they do a special al pastor taco dinner on Friday nights. Mezcal and tequila flights and probably THE BEST fried oysters we ever had. Can't wait to go back!

I'm gonna be real with y'all - ya girl was HUNGOVER as all hell coming to this place. I was at the point where nothing was going to help besides hair of the dog, so... A Bloody Mary it was. I asked for it a tad spicy and it came prettttyyyy spicy, but my stomach also wasn't at it's normal state that day, so who knows. They come topped with olives, bacon, and pepperoni. At first I wasn't digging that, but after I sucked some of the drink down and came alive again, the bacon was tasting really good! Staff is friendly, they've got tons of space, and there's a solid food menu (didn't order but lots sounded good). Definitely a hole-in-the-wall spot. Don't expect to walk into something fancy, it's definitely just a dive but it's fun, fairly clean, and prices are fair. We'll be back!

A pint of beer will cost you $8.50 with tax but without tip, so that's basically $10! Service was a bit slow and not too friendly, but definitely not rude. There are much better options on the area for both beer and bars, so I will not be returning anytime soon.

I got the St. Germaine spritz and we shared the lemongrass steak nachos, frites, and kimchi arancini! St Germaine spritz: I love a cocktail/alcoholic beverage that is on the sweeter side. I don't really love when can I taste the alcohol in a mixed drink so this drink was definitely up my alley. It was super refreshing and had a nice bubblyness to it. Lemongrass steak nachos: the lemongrass was definitely a standout taste in these nachos which I loved! I loved the combo of the fresh ingredients like the cilantro, lemongrass, and cabbage with the steak and queso, it helped to balance all the flavors and didn't feel heavy Frites: pretty standard tasting fries, not too skinny and not too thick which I liked! The chili mayo had a nice smoky sweet flavor and it was a great dipping sauce! Kimchi Arancini: these were crispy and had a nice gooey cheese in the middle which definitely had a cheese pull. The kimchi taste I felt was relatively mild which is great for people that don't want such a strong sour kimchi flavor, I love kimchi so I could've definitely had it stronger. They do give you a side of kimchi to go with it, but I didn't love the kimchi it came with. I'm used to getting kimchi from Hmart or other Asian grocery stores but this was pretty mid to me. Overall I would definitely come back to try their other dishes and cocktails! Their brunch menu looks good and I'll probably be back for that next time.

It's a cute, cozy neighborhood spot with good food, reasonable prices, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Every time I come, I end up ordering the cauliflower and the bao buns--they're just that good. On my last visit, I tried the galbi-jjim bao, which was generous in portion and really flavorful. The cauliflower dish feels almost like a fresh salad, light and easy to eat, and the gnocchi with chipotle sauce had a nice subtle kick. The focaccia and sardines paired perfectly with champagne and white wine. Right next door is Homer, a very popular restaurant, and I've been to both--but honestly, I prefer this place. Maybe it's a bit less trendy because there aren't many main-course options, but everything I've tried here has been consistently delicious. Overall, it's just a comfortable, inviting spot that's perfect when you want good food and a relaxed drink. Also staff are friendly and welcoming. I've been back many times and will definitely keep coming.
