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!

Great food and service!…read more Had the guacamole, the cafe de olla, and the serrano bloody Mary. All delicious!

Dropped by here this weekend when I was in the neighborhood after noticing a promising menu item -…read morethe crab taco. The spot is a bit of a hole in the wall, but once inside it feels warm and inviting. There was only one waitress (which is appropriate based on size) and she was so friendly and attentive. I was able to place my order quickly and the food was soon to follow. Considering I only ordered two tacos, there was a pretty ample amount of food! I really enjoyed the crab taco and was pleasantly surprised with the generous amount of meat. The carne asada taco was good but less memorable. However, I really loved the hibiscus drink - so much so that I ordered a second one to go! Overall, cute little neighborhood spot that I'll happily return to!

Walked over to the Roost for mid day lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We decided to try Hi/Fi while…read morevisiting the Roost Food Hall. We sat at a table nestled in the back corner of the shelter bar, we ordered using a QR CODE on our table. I went with the enchiladas and chips & guacamole to share with my friend. The food came out within about 10 minutes. While it wasn't hot, more like room temperature, the presentation and flavors were great. The chips and guac were a generous portion so much so we didn't even finish. The menu had many choices burritos, tacos, wings, nachos, appetizers, and even platters. Definitely check out Hi/Fi if you ever visit the Roost it's well worth it!

While I had a very small tasting of two tacos, I thought Hi/Fi Taco had a lot to offer. For my…read moredining pleasure, I went with the Orange Soda Braised Carnitas Tacos. I think this experience marks the first time I've ever had American cheese on a taco. I have to give it up to Hi/Fi Taco for its creativity. I thought the $8.50 price tag was pretty generous with the amount of meat that is packed on the taco. During our visit to the Roost, I thought my tacos came out very fast based on the amount of people that were dining at the Roost. I hope to visit Hi/Fi Taco again in the near future to check out more of their tacos.

We got takeout for a couple of friends - suadero tacos, champiñones tacos (pork), Al pastor, and 1…read morecod fish. I liked the suadero and the al pastor best. The elote was solid, with real queso fresco. We also ordered aguachiles with shrimp and it was prepared nicely though when the delivery came the bottom of the bag was soaked with aguachiles water/ citrus. The Jamaica agua fresca was nicely done as well. Overall for legit Mexican in the DC area and for delivery Al Lado was top tier.

We had just missed happy hour which is from 4-7pm for some drink specials. We opted for the Al pastor and Barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas and the spicy cheese nachos. Both were ok but not out of this world. It was fairly loud so brace yourself if you don't like people yelling or shouting- not the place to go. Some flies going around and landing on food upstairs indoors but I know it's hard with people going in/out. Overall, aight but not particularly I would go out of the way for.

As far as the flights go, they were pretty good the house Margarita and jalapeño margarita was definitely strong one of my favorites. When you go in, it's a walk up in order so you don't deal with waiters or waitresses and once your order is ready, you have to pick it up the pick up area. The ambience is casual and they have an upstairs dining area and also plenty of outside seating which is where we sat, but the building is cute and fun.

Best burritos in DC. I walk from Navy Yard to eat here on weekends, that's how good they are. Must…read morehave eaten here over 50 times. I don't do the breakfast ones because I'm just conceptually not a breakfast burrito guy. But the lunch burritos have nothing to envy any burrito in California, Arizona or New Mexico despite the protestations of some from SoCal or AZ who would never admit such a thing. The fresh squeezed lemonade is great too. The guys who run it are great. I order in Spanish. They're friendly. And they remember you. There's no protection from the elements eating there but that's the only downside.

We were in Eastern Market and decided to get some food. Since it was still morning, I decided to…read moreget a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The burrito was massive and was packed with veggies. They had some nice flavorful sauce as well. We shared a single burrito and it kept us satisfied. I've been here before and definitely plan on coming back more.

This one is such a different vibe from the Hyattsville one, but that amazing taste is still there…read more I met up with some friends after work and it was fairly easy to find parking along H Street or nearby. You order at the register, and there are plenty of tables in the back to sit at. But I noticed that this location, the ordering area can get crowded very fast because of how narrow the area is. It was Taco Tuesday, so I got four tacos and decide tp try their chicarron gorditas. It was a lot of food but it was all so delicious. Honestly, my only complaint was that the sauce packets are so hard to open. I wish we had a knife or scissors or something. The red and green sauce is in the packets taste different from the ones in the bottles, so it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to easily switch between the two. The staff are also really nice. I would come back, even though the Hyattsville one is closer to me.

I'm glad that I have Mexican near by. The fresh popped chicharon really hit the spot…read more The service was a bit slower than I expected for calling ahead, so make time to spend some time. The establishment looked cleaned and smelled of fresh cut fruit and was cute. Overall my burrito was mid. I'll have to try something else next time.

This is a Mexican food joint located in Chinatown, across from the Arena. It is part of a small…read morelocal chain of restaurants. There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. The restaurant has a nice patio and a decent-sized dining area. The staff was friendly enough, but I had a hard time understanding them. This place serves basic Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos, chips, and salsa. You just pick your protein and toppings. They have asada, chicken, asado, carnitas, and potatoes. Some toppings include shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, corn, onions, and lettuce. You also have to choose between brown rice, Mexican rice, black beans, and pinto beans. I ordered a chorizo burrito. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare. The burrito was huge. I must say that it was very good. Very tasty and flavorful. It could have been a bit warmer, though. After I ate my burrito, I was full. I really enjoyed my meal here, and I highly recommend checking this place out. They serve some good, fast Mexican food.

This is the only place where I can get crushed chips in my bowl too. In terms of the price point, it's similarly priced as other texmex places. I can also appreciate how I won't run out of options here. Service/atmosphere - the employees are also speedy when preparing my food. They're also generous with their scoops, which I can always appreciate. The place indoors is always clean too. I would skip Chipotle and other Texmex places and go here instead!

We were seated upon arrival and our server was friendly. The inside is a little on the darker side, there were windows at the front but most of the restaurant is enclosed by walls. The happy hour menu was very affordable. We ordered off both menus. We got the Mexican street corn, yucca fries, HH nachos, and the HH quesadilla chicken tinga. The nachos were my favorite. And the quesadilla. The street corn was a nice lighter dip. I would probably pass on the yucca fries next time.
