a bowl of soup on a plate
Angel U.

This place is so expensive for no reason. The price are not worth what they serve. I was here Last Monday with a coworker of my the service was so awful . To start we order a bucket of beer that was the only good thing that the waitres got right everything else was downhill. So I order a shrimp soup it was horrible like 5 shrimps , milk, eggs and rice. Just awful my tortillas were raw I call the waitres because she never check on the only table she has my friend call her and I explained about the tortillas Been raw and that I loose my appetite she didn't seem to care. My friend steak!! he ask medium temperature and the waitres brings his steak raw what the hell. If you want uncooked food that gives you gas and food poisoning, stay away!! Service was horrible also, attitude problems or something wrong with the waitres., I have no idea she" chase a table outside because she wasn't getting tips well done for her horrible service. So sad never ever.

Found this spot on my walk and popped into the small ordering window. Staff was so nice and the food was amazing (as you can see in the photo). Please support this establishment!!!

Absolutely love the rotisserie chicken. That with black beans, salad and a margarita at an outside table on a perfect evening is heaven.

I am very picky with pupusas and I work in the area so I'm always going to food trucks or other…read morerestaurants. Since I'm working near La casita, I decided to give the pupusas a try and I gave it a 5 stars because I love how their pupusas are evenly made. They are so perfect! This is my second time purchasing some. I will be back and recommended to people this place.

Felt the desire for simple comfort food. Papusas seems like a reasonable call I hadn't been here in…read morea few years I went to the one in Noma a lot. The kitchen was cooking picture perfect papusas so I have to compliment them on the visuals and I was impressed. There were very few guests but the delivery and pick up business was going very well. If someone doesn't know your standard mix like does it have flour or I don't want cheese you should be able to explain it and she got frustrated and called over someone else who did a better job. First order came out after 20 minutes. Ok they were picture perfect but the flavor just wasn't present and the sauce wasn't flavorful and neither was the seasoned cabbage mix. So I thought ok I'll try something else. The first girl rang me up for the wrong order I had to go back and tell them I didn't order this I ordered that. A manager or owner came and fixed it ok then they brought it to me as a to go which since I already had a table from before you would think you would ask bring it to your table again or are you in a rush. Disappointed in the sauce and cabbage mix and the flavor profiles for three different papusa types but they were pretty to look at. Service was what it was.

Service is pretty much always good, and it's a beautiful restaurant. A plea to the owners: keep this dish on the menu, but also bring back the short rib entree. Short rib is their hidden gem. Just incredible.

Great Vegan Options (4.25/5)…read more Cielo Rojo is in an awkward location, sandwiched between a firehouse and a car shop. However, their food drives many customers to their doors. My family and I were looking for a new and different Mexican place with lots of vegan options and Google search showed me Cielo Rojo. I was happy to see a dedicated vegan menu and some excellent reviews so we gave it a try. Overall we were pleased with the unique menu but thought the flavors could have been elevated. Food (1.75/2) - most of the picks we had were great but some were lacking.... Flavor. The pan y macha butter was pleasantly a great start to the evening. Though the bread could have been a little softer, the macha butter wasn't overwhelming. The queso fondito could be skipped, there wasn't anything special and in fact I wouldn't order it next time. The guacamole was fresh and herby, however, there just wasn't enough of it in one order. I wouldn't recommend ordering two even for just two people. The street corn was a hit between my kids and my wife. They loved the sweet, tangy, and spicy corn that melted in their mouths. And the tacos were great as well. However, I felt the Gorditas under delivered for sure. I was expecting a flavor punch but received more of a chewy patty on a bland sauce. But if life could be thrown on it by additional fresh herbs and flavors. Drinks (1/1) - we only tried one cocktail and ordered a Mexican cola for our dinner but what we received was good enough to show they know their drinks. My drink wasn't under spiked or unbalanced, it went smoothly. The hibiscus flavor along with the spirit was showing boldly through the syrups. I wouldn't recommend ordering love to try another cocktail next time. Service (0.75/1) - I wish I could say the service was exceptional but there were times we were waiting too long for a service member to show up. They were friendly and polite but definitely could have had more touch points with us throughout the night. We sorta felt abandoned at times. Again, nothing much to complain but something to improve upon. Decor (0.75/1) - overall, it's a welcoming spot with art pieces of their heritage. However, there were lots of dusty sellables that probably should be removed from the dining floor. It didn't mix well with a great restaurant. Not sure if they really need to sell a rack of clothing right next to where we were sitting to be honest. In the end, the food was decent, unique, and welcoming to vegetarians so we would comeback again and give other items on their menu a try. Hopefully, flavor profile can be more prominent next time.

Go to taco loco, and you will see why people go loco for taco loco - pun intended. They say that it…read moreis hard to find good/authentic Mexcian food in the DC area, but I think I found it. Having lived in Tijuana, I have had the best birria tacos, and while Taco Loco's birria tacos are not better than what you can get south of the border, they are pretty darn close. They have a full menu in addition to tacos, we also had carne asada sopes. Service is friendly, nothing amazing, but it was friendly and efficient, especially only one young man was working the floor. Ambiance is a bit divey, but I think that's what makes the food taste so good. And a little secret - we liked the tacos so much we went back two days later for more. If you like authentic Mexican food then Taco Loco is a must try.

Updated review…read more Unfortunately, I have to downgrade my previous review from five to three stars based on my most recent delivery experience. A few things that I had issues with. Although we ordered a dessert, the dessert did not arrive with our order. Upon realizing the missing dessert, I called the restaurant to inquire why the dessert was not included in the delivery. The person who answered the phone told me that the dessert was not included because they did not have the ingredients to make it. Ok, I understand that happens from time to time. However, I did not really understand why the restaurant could not have called me to inform me that they could not supply the dessert. When this has happened in past with other restaurants, they usually ask if you would like a refund or another similarly-priced item. Fortunately, it was not a problem to get a refund from Grubhub. The packaging was a mess. We ordered eight tacos, which were delicious, but they jammed them all into one container. By the time, the food arrived the tortillas were pretty stuck to each other. I thought the restaurant skimped on the portion size for the chips and salsa portions, which made the sideway overpriced for $9.
