Went here for brunch. The Hangover bowl was delicious. The spicy margs were also really good. Not a dog friendly establishment. read more

Went for a birthday brunch and waited almost an hour to get seated for our CONFIRMED reservation. There was obvious dust hanging from the fans and MOLD IN THE WATER CONTAINERS. No apologies for these things. We even saw water dripping from the ceiling onto another table, which had to be relocated. The only thing going for his place is that their food is decent. Manager, Jonathan, asked me how my experience was, and when I was giving my honest opinion, he gaslighted me and cut me off. I didn't say anything until he asked for my opinion and I've never had to get loud with a service worker, being one myself. With all the troubles we delt with, nothing was compensated. Will never be coming here nor suggest here again. read more

4 stars for the food, but not enough to make up for the terrible service, long wait, and disgusting bathroom. A group of 10 of us went to brunch and ended up being there for almost 3 hours because of such slow service. Keep in mind the restaurant was nearly empty - and yet it took OVER an hour for our party to receive our food. Apart from that, the service was just rough. It was kind that our waiter allowed only half the party to do bottomless (usually the whole table would have to) they were neurotic about not letting anyone else who didn't buy bottomless to drink or even taste. They would come up and eye our table, and did not provide a pitcher to our table as they did to everyone else. My table kept having to ask for refills, and they didn't bring them or took forever. Because of that I don't really think its "bottomless". The waiter also kept checking his phone to check the time for the 2 hour limit when asked for mimosas (that again they did not bring). When the food came, the staff looks extremely overwhelmed and annoyed while hastily handing it to us. The bathroom was just disgusting. It was not clean, the door handles didn't work. When I went to flush the toilet, water spewed out from the top...and it looked like that had been a problem for a while. The food was great I will say. You can tell it was fresh, ingredients were good quality, and it was very tasty. I heard they have a great happy hour and events, but I am weary to come back to this place. read more

Rob was amazingggggggggggggggg! He was very attentive and was personable. I would definitely recommend 10/10

This place is a hidden gem. The food is off the chain. If you like Mexican food this is the place to eat. The bottomless brunch including mimosas is the way to go. Johnny was more than accommodating when we needed to substitute our meals. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied read more

Great Service. Awesome variety of tacos and drinks. Brian is a great bartender. Happy Hour margaritas are awesome.

Amazing food here. Hidden gem for tacos in DC! I think this place is probably known more for its bar ambiance but the food is great!

What can I say, it was my first time eating here but surely won't be my last! The ambience is everything. Great music. my friend even had a great time moonwalking near the patio outside. Spicy pineapple marg was good. I bought a round of drinks for everyone read more

Johnny Pistolas - Pineapple Jalapeo Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Pretty decent place to watch the game. I liked the upstairs area, and how it allowed game watchers to enjoy the game in our own space without interfering with other patrons. Sebastian was probably the sweetest bartender ever (and definitely not hard on the eyes.. at all. Just sayin...) .Getting service with a smile is practically unheard of in this city... especially at a bar. However, he and the server who was with him were just so nice, and they both treated us like they were genuinely happy to have us there (even though I was obviously there to support the opposing team...Geaux Saints!). I ordered the shrimp nachos, which were good. Not the best I've had, but not bad. I prefer shredded cheese to the cheese sauce they use here, and I think the seasoning they use on the shrimp overpowers the rest of the dish. I'd order them again, but with beef next time. For the most part, the patrons here are pretty cool too. During the game, my friends and I made met a lovely couple that was in town for the holidays and stopped by to watch the game. Long story short, we left with a new set of friends. I love how football brings folks together... even though my Saints did win that game. Just sayin... read more

Suzanna was great! Attended to our group of 11 with no complaints. Thanks for the mimosas!

We stopped in here in the midst of doing errands on a Sunday for brunch. Overall I think the staff is nice and friendly and generally attentive. The food we ordered was pretty good- my fiancé ordered a burrito and I ordered a oaxtal (I think) which generally was a biscuit with a piece of boneless fried chicken, cream and salsa with two poached eggs. The concept was good and I liked the chicken and crema but the biscuit was not good- too dry and not enough air clearly. His burrito looked tasty and was well presented. We also tried the tortillas and queso. The queso was way too watery and could be better with salsa mixed in or just a heavier dip. Generally ok though the unlimited brunch didn't seem worth it. Glad we ordered a la carte! I would probably give this place 3.5 or 4 stars but for the bathrooms! They reminded me of hole in the wall bar bathrooms in NYC (not in a good way). They need need need to update the bathrooms!! Smelly, old, and dungeon like. read more

Authentic food. Reasonable prices. Solid service. Outdoor seating was plentiful. Would recommend giving it a try read more

Went for Cinco de Mayo brunch with a group of 11 people. The servers were super sweet and accommodating but there def needs to be a lot more organization. We put in our orders and several things were missing or came out MUCH later than everything else. It was pretty obvious that handling our large group and the other big groups was a bit overwhelming for the staff but they were troopers. All in all, the food was DELICIOUS and the mimosas were strong. I'll definitely be back but probably with a smaller group. read more

Service was awesome especially with Brayan helping and recommending the best nachos ever.

Came for the drag brunch... disappointed with the experience.. If you weren't seated on the main level where they performed, you missed the performance and unfortunately only 2 of the 4 queens even came to where we were seated. The food was good though. read more

Johnny Pistolas - The area the performers didn't perform... - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Before I get lengthy with this review, let me say: server Sarah is the $hit. Service - Stellar. Very friendly, laid-back, and accommodating staff (thank you, Sarah!). Also the manager Johnny was around and I love seeing management interact with guests, so thank you too. Drinks - Standard bottomless for $15 between your choices of mimosa, bloody mary, tecate, and red or white sangria. I especially like their white sangria! Food - Bottomless for $25 or a la carte. My friend and I went a la carte and I thought both of our options (Mexican enchilada $12 and burrito $11) were pretty solid. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is for $40 for AYCE & AYCD seems a bit much for my wallet... but maybe when I'm making millions I'll reconsider ;) read more

Great food. Great price. Best place to brunch and enjoy your weekend. Drinks are beyond tasty.

This place is fun. Great tacos and a good beer selection. Price is right and they are open late and the servers have some nice recommendations for the specialty tacos. Cool vegetarian taco options. This is 4.1/4.2 stars. Not upscale, just a good taco joint. read more

I have a bone to pick with Johnny Ps. This bar is SO fun and plays GREAT music but the blonde, short bouncer is the most unfriendly person I have ever encountered. When we first arrived I tried to be nice and start a conversation while waiting and was completely ignored. It only got worse. He consistently degraded my friends and when someone tried to reason with him he became aggressive. This was by far the least hospitable experience I have ever had in DC, to the point where the manager had to get involved. He must be really unhappy in life to treat random girls at a bar so poorly who were not acting out of line. I love this bar and the atmosphere but what a sad life you have to live to ruin peoples night for the fun of it. read more

Bouncer took my real ID. Refuse to give it back until the police came, made him look like an idiot and then I decided not to go in. Staff is obviously fucking IQ of Forest Gump. read more

Great service by our bartender Rae. She was friendly and kept checking on us. The food was good and you can't beat 7 dollar happy hour Marg's. read more

Came in here for a birthday brunch and everything was on point from the moment I walked in. Food was delicious, drinks were flowing and the service was exceptional. A special shout-out to one member of the Johnny Pistolas crew, Eli. He took care of us from start to finish and ensured our enjoyment of the celebration. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Very good. Marg and chips are delicious!!! Also great music. Service is amazing - thank you Susannah!

Came here for National Margarita Day with a large crowd. You knew this was the place to be - you pass a sign from another guy's $8 special only to be flooded by the $5 special here. It was also a Friday night so it was of course crowded. If the bottom floor looks garbage for getting a drink, not to worry because upstairs is a smaller bar with the dance floor. Not gonna lie it reminded me of the best and the worst of high school. Sure it's hilarious to hear retro Biebs and Taylor Swift be blasted by the DJ, but the dancing was just as bad as I remember it at 16. But I guess AdMo needs a place like that - felt like the place to go if you just hit 21. It's not my scene but I respect the crowd that goes here. Johnny P's offers the right brand of trash for a Friday night. read more

They honestly have the best tacos I've had. The service is just a bit iffy. Prob best to go on a weekday. (Don't get the rice and/or beans though. Totally bland ) read more

Food and drinks were good. We went for bottomless brunch. Service was really bad the employees didn't seem to know what they were doing or care about customer service. There was only one blond girl who seemed to know what was going on and cared about customer service. There was paper in my guac when I let an employee know they didn't say anything about it. The bathroom also reeked of pee. My guac cup also had old dried guac on the side so they didn't really clean it from the last person who used it. Would've liked better service and sanitation for 66 dollars. (It was 48 but they sneak in 20% gratuity without telling you and ask you for more tip). read more

Came for brunch with a group of about 15 friends. Food was pretty good. Highly recommend the guac, the chicken tostada, chix& waffles & churros. It's about $25 for bottomless food & $40 total for bottomless sangria and mimosas. Drinks were ok. Note: they MADE our entire party do bottomless drinks if one person did it. Which was annoying... Service kinda sucked.. I understand that we were a big group, but good service should always be given. Some of us ordered some food and never received the food ordered. Additionally, we had so many dirty dishes and plates on the table that could've been taken away but they just kept piling up that we put them off to the side and cleaned up a bit for them. Food is decent, service was ok. We all still managed to have a good time though! Recommended if a smaller group. read more

YOU CANT BEAT JOHNNY. Best brunch in admo. Good vibes at night, but they play bad music upstairs. Love johnnys would recommend always.

I came here with my sister for her birthday. Man, was it delicious! We had a variety of foods that I have since forgotten the names of, but everything I tasted was excellent. The hero of the entire brunch was the pulled braised beef. OMG. Tender, flavorful, melt in your mouth kind of good! The service was also great. Our waitress was very attentive and the food just kept coming. The only thing keeping this from bring a 5 star review is the bathroom odor, and the fact that this odor didn't even start in the bathroom. It smelled of urine in the corador that led to the men's and women's restroom. This corador was also in close proximity to the kitchen. Not. Cool. There was also a lack of paper towels in the women's restroom, which would have been fine if there was a hand dryer available.. Overall, this is a place I would recommend. The smell if urine apparently doesn't bother everyone. The food is good and so are the drinks! read more

My friend and I were in town and decided to check this place out. Our server was Donovan and he was the best. He was very warm and friendly and was doing a great job managing the floor. Even though he was busy, he remained attentive to our table and made sure we were taken care of. The food was great and I highly recommend the blood orange jalapeño margarita if you like spicy drinks. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Wanted to go for tacos and they brought out these hard tacos and stated that these are the only tacos they had when i know i for sure had soft tacos before. So upset. It was just excuse after excuse. Don't recommend unless you're desperate for a happy hour spot read more

The food was really good and it's a fun atmosphere. They have salsa lessons on Tuesdays. I especially loved the street corn. Attentive service as well. read more
