    We loved this place!!! Chose HiFi based on the Yelp reviews and realized when we arrived that this is actually a food hall type venue called The Roost. I'll be reviewing the whole place. The ambiance is incredible, and the way it flows is ingenious. You sit down, scan a QR code with your phone, and are able to order from any of the multiple eateries in the space. Place your order online and then waitstaff brings your order over from any/all of the restaurants. Honestly, I ordered from multiple spots- HiFi, the bar, the sushi spot- and all of our food was absolutely phenomenal. I will be back for sure the next time we're visiting DC!

    Taco night in America and catfish tacos
    Monique B.

    OMG!! Possibly the best tacos, ever!! Dropped in on a whim and found the Rooster, a super cute eatery with contactless dining. Yelp reviews lead us to Hi/Fi Tacos and the experience did not disappoint. We started with "Taco night in America" (crispy beef taco with shredded lettuce and queso), and the "3 chili marinated catfish." After the first bite we quickly placed a second order for four more catfish tacos (it was THAT GOOD). I'm all about a good street taco topped with all the fixings and the catfish was EXCELLENT!! The habanero-pickled onions topped with the pico de gallo and smoked cream HIT DIFFERENT. Excuse me while I lose my manners....

    Queso

    If you're looking for a taco experience in a beer focused food hall located within the DC area then Hi/Fi is the place to be. Located within the roost in SE dc hi/fi does a good job of hitting that taco craving after a few beers. Don't remember what the tacos were just remember they went will with the beers and were decently priced (for DC). Not the best or most authentic taco I've had, but definitely gets the job done and will probably be my go to for quick bites at the Roost from now on.

    Edith's bourbon slushy. Yum.

    This place is Charming. On a random Wednesday we were seated immediately. They have an interesting tap list and fun cocktails, everyone's happy. Smoked queso dip is great, comes topped with pico for extra crunch, served with sturdy tortilla chips. And it's a good thing they are sturdy, the elote dip demands it. Eating the elote as served, with the tortilla chips instead of shoveling it into your mouth via fork, you find yourself enjoying corn four ways. Tacos were excellent, orange soda braised carnitas perfectly over filled. I do wish you could mix and match. The husbands brisket was great too -- thick sliced and moist. He thought it was too salty but I disagree. The sauces were perfect. My only complaint, the plantains came out without the pickled onions and creama, no bother -- will try again next time. And there will be a next time. Just what I need, another reason to be jealous of the people who live in this adorable neighborhood.

    Mojo Braised Chicken Tacos
    Doug B.

    Enjoyed Hi Fi Taco. From the Hi Fi Taco menu, I tried the Mojo Braised Chicken Tacos and the Kitchen Sink Nachos. Both were very good with good flavors. I would definitely try both again but enjoyed the tacos more. Would love to see guacamole on the menu. This was my first time at The Roost. The experience was 4 star. Thanks to Hannah, Joe, and Daniel for such great service. I really liked the idea. For dine in, have a seat, scan the code which is unique to the table, and order away. I especially liked the idea of being able to order from several different restaurants and menus and have it delivered to my table. I understand from Hannah that the site used for the menu and ordering is a work in progress. They have several improvements in the works. Looking forward to returning.

    Queso, Nachos and chicken tacos. Delicious!

    Wonderful food! Great atmosphere. Well located and friendly staff. Quick prep so it was perfect for the short lunch we had time for.

    Orange Soda Braised Carnitas
    Ashley S.

    This place is my new favorite spot to get Mexican food! I have ordered food from Hi/ Fi Taco twice and each time the food was Wonderful!!! I made the mistake of trying the Orange Soda Braised Carnitas right before my 10 day detox! Yes, I know.....I screwed myself over big time because all I have been thinking about are those tacos!! Good LORD they were amazing!! And the type of cheese and the way it was applied just makes it stand out amongst a lot of other tacos I've have from other restaurants (if you try it you will know what I mean)! My other favorite is the Taco Night in America taco! I don't know how they do it but they have successfully managed to put a new spin on tacos! Everything is flavorful and slightly out of the ordinary which I thoroughly enjoyed!!! I am going to end this review and close out Yelp now so that I can complete this detox... because these tacos are calling my name.... aggressively!!!!! You gotta try this place out!! You will not be disappointed!!!

    Kitchen Sink Nachos
    Ian H.

    TACOS!!! Yet these aren't just regular tacos, THESE are Nate Anda's HI/FI Tacos. Now, if you're familiar with the quality Nate brings to the table, then you know you haven't experienced tacos quite like this. For instance, four of the five tacos are topped with a form of 'crema.' The one appropriately named Taco Night in America and seemingly a nod to the tried-and-true OG standard doesn't. I can assure you TNiA's flavor has bound to be anything but plain. Via tabletop QR code menus, my friends and I ordered while enjoying our previously ordered beers (same app) from Shelter. We shared the Kitchen Sink nachos and I, personally, enjoyed the following: Orange Soda Braised Carnitas Crispy Avocado 3 Chili Marinated Catfish Each taco had its own, unique flavor profile coupled with textures unlike one another. Truthfully, though, I'm finding it hard to provide some kind of ranking. YMMV and I don't think you'd be disappointed with these and/or the other two taco available. I'll definitely be trying them next time along with the Crispy Chorizo Queso. As for the nachos, they admittedly left something to be desired. With a name like Kitchen Sink, I expected MORE. More toppings. More of said toppings at least. These would be best renamed Kitchenette Nachos but were still good nevertheless. In regards to HI/FI Tacos service, there really isn't too much to say. The food was prepared reasonably quick and delivered to our tables by Roost runners(?) timely. However, I would be remissed to say the food was lukewarm at best. It was at max limited capacity Saturday night so they were likely swamped with orders. Not a deal breaker in my book. Next time, I'll be trying the other two tacos I didn't this go 'round, that Chorizo mentioned and their wings. Yes, they have wings too but wanted to keep my focus on what they're front lining. Remember, this isn't HI/FI Wings. Or will it be?!?! Guess we'll find out soon enough. Tacos: 1 for $3, 2 for $5.75, 6 for $17 Kitchen Sink Nachos: $12.50

    The mocktail was super sweet, which wasn't ideal, but I drank most of it. The mini hot in the cup was very good. I liked the dessert too!

    Quality modern Mexican. I don't have to say delicious because even low quality Mexican food is…read moredelicious, but this was about as good as it gets especially considering we had the unlimited brunch and our belly's aren't big on limits. Idk how this is possible but it was my first time having chilaquiles and huevos rancheros so I don't have a reference point but either way I thought they were great. The steak con huevo was the best and the avocado huarache toast con huevo ties with the French toast for second place. The only thing we weren't huge fans of were the churros but I get the feeling we were approaching our limit by the time we made it to those. I really enjoyed the size of the menu which gave plenty of options to sample just like I like, but without getting too overwhelmed. Some menus are huge and it's great but everything gets lost in the sauce. At the end we found out they have a cafe essentially making it a one stop shop between the bar, the dining area (with the open kitchen), and the coffee shop. They participate in inkind so if you like to save money when you treat yourself, get on the app!

But let me tell you the food was Sooooooo Gooooood once we got it. Because I ate so much before my main course that after I finished the main course which was three Jerk Chicken Tacos.... I had the meat sweats + we had drinks too of course. Overall the food was delicious as well as the Salsa that came with the Chips. It has an upstairs dining room as well, and part of it is outside which was pretty cool. But like I said; The food & drinks was bomb, So you'll definitely be doing your stomach some justice. My only beef is that we waited along time for our food, but other than that it was a good food experience!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the host and got seated very quickly. Our waiter (Adrian) cam to the table and greeted us and was very attentive to our questions . We asked what was the most popular dish and he honestly said....IM PRETTY NEW HERE AND I DONT HAVE MANY RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT I CAN GET SOMEONE TO COME OVER TO GIVE YOU SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.........he brought over the OWNER!!! The owner is a very nice man and YES, he made some good recommendations. WE got our food ordered and it took a lil while to come but was well worth it!! We had the Old Bay wings and Corn Ribs for appetizers (Both are VERY GOOD). For the main meal, we had beef quesadilla, Jerk chicken tacos and smoked beef birria tacos. Let me tell you .....GET THE SMOKED tacos!!!! The jerk chicken taco was very flavorful, but it was only chicken, sauce, and avocados. I was expecting a little more inside (onions, cabbage, etc.). The quesadilla came out covered in pico, cream, and cilantro. Looked more like a salad to me, lol. This restaurant is a very nice spot and the overall atmosphere is not bad at all. I would definitely recommend this place. Just don't come if your in a rush and hurry to eat. Sit back and enjoy......

We went in right as they opened, on a Friday at 5 pm, and there was already a line! The reservations were full, but we were offered a seat either at the bar or outside. Luckily it was a beautiful day so we took a seat outside. They started us off with a sweet hibiscus flavored juice as a palate cleanser which was super refreshing. The left side of the menu had appetizers and shareables, while the right side had entrees. We ordered the short rib tacos, pork belly, wagyu empanadas, and seafood enchiladas. Everything had a beautiful bright orange sauce on it and made it look like it would be spicy but it wasn't! I think it's their signature guajillo sauce and it was VERY good, super creamy. Seafood enchiladas: This was my fav. Might have been because it was extremely hungry and it was my first bite. Definitely best when eaten warm, as the cheese is gooiest and the seafood inside is hot. I wasn't sure how the salad was going to be but it added a perfect refreshing and acidity to balance out the creamy sauce. Wagyu empanadas: Much gooey-er and cheesier than expected, but also a hit! Came with a decent amount of beef inside. Comes with the orange sauce and a chimichurri, which I think was a good idea because given how cheesy and creamy the filling already was, the chimichurri was a nice balance as well. Pork belly: Melts as soon as you cut into it. The Asian in me low key wanted a giant bowl of rice with this so that I could soak up all the sauce and veggies. Pretty fatty so if you're not a fan of that you might not like this. Short rib tacos: These were loaded, not with meat but with tons of crunchy topping (maybe fried carrots?) Could have done with slightly less crunch but overall still good. The orange sauce on the bottom had a peanuty flavor which I thought added a unique kick. Also, we were surprised at how quickly the food came out. We were in and out in under an hour. Our server Rebecca was also extremely nice. Will def be back if in the area. Highly recommend all around!

The service was ok, we had to tell our server we weren't seeing him enough, there's a 2 hour limit and we weren't getting a chance to order more drinks. After that he kept the drinks coming. WARNING! You DO NOT get to choose what items you want from the ayce brunch menu, they bring every single dish out and they do it at a pace that you barely get a chance to enjoy anything. Every dish is loaded with fillers and barely any meat. Every dish has a similar flavor of chilli, lime and cilantro. I say this with the upmost respect to this restaurant, the only good thing about the brunch were the churros and they don't give you that until you're ready to leave. The chicken and waffles were almost good but the sauce on the chicken with the waffle just ruins it. The steak and eggs were ok and you only get a 1oz piece of steak. Birria tacos were just ok and the fish taco was ok. Everything else was not worth it. A lot of items went to waste. If we could've chose exactly what we wanted, it might have been better. This would also add to why the service did not start off well because our server gave us our first drink and left. After that, every item from the brunch menu were just getting dropped off by food runners. It became overwhelming. We didn't even have room on the table for all of that. Then we also had to ask for new plates because we did not want to mix the flavors of every dish. The drinks were also not good, I had margaritas for my drink of choice and they are so sour and filled with cheap tequila... respectfully for 70$ a person you're better off ordering à la carte. The restaurant is beautiful though, great for pictures and the food is colorful as well but the flavors are just not that good and you're ultimately paying for a bunch of food that you don't really even want nor enjoy. I really hope they adjust this because I heard it was 10x better in the past.
