    Coquito Bar
    Fatu D.

    Stopped by during the holidays to experience their Coquito Bar. They offered a variety of coquito options, but I went with the vegan option. It was nice and the coconut cream offered a nice level of sweetness, but it had too much ice for the price of the drink. The staff were super helpful and kind as they made me an item that was listed on the online menu, but not their physical in person menu. Shout to them! It is a nice spot located inside of a food hall which gives you chances to hop around and try other items. It is cozy, but offers a decent amount of space and seating for larger groups.

    Tried the pupusa place and it was pretty good! I had the taco salad that had lettuce, sliced steak, pico de gallo, avocado, cotija cheese, fried tortillas, and cesar dressing. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The steak was tender and juicy. My only complaint is that the cesar dressing doesn't really go with the flavors of the salad. I ended up eating the salad plain, but there was plenty of flavor elsewhere so it was fine. People were friendly and service was fast. A little on the expensive side in my opinion, but I guess it's normal for the city. The place itself is like a big food hall with many restaurants and seating all around. Great place to peope watch and catch up with your friends.

    Came for a cooking class hosted by Cocu social! It's located in the glass windows to the right when you walk in. There seemed to be another class happening at the open area next to ours. The instructor was amazing but it was hard to hear in the beginning due to the DJ in the main area. Once we got moving around the kitchen it was better. The price was reasonable for the empanadas class so I would definitely book another class in the future. Went for drinks after at Serenata, you can't go wrong with any of their cocktails.

    Ceviche

    Come here instead of the super crowded Union Market nearby. La Cosecha has an excellent selection of food options and wasn't crowded at all. It's very peaceful with plenty of seating on a weekday lunch time. We tried the Peruvian food and in particular the ceviche was divine. In addition, the coconut ice cream pop from the shop next door was the most amazing pop I've ever had. Highly highly recommended!

    This area has AMAZING shops & restaurants. I went to 2 places and both did an awesome job at what they sold. Everyone was nice and answered my questions about their items. The chocolates were definitely hand made with love and my sandwich and empanada were cooked with high quality ingredients and seasoned well.

    We came across this place. while shopping at Union Market. Peruvian Brothers is inside. Trader Joe's is nearby. There are several shops, a wine bar and eateries in the same space. The building needs more foot traffic inside. We enjoyed a nice picnic with food from area businesses. It wasn't busy on a weekday. Parking was easy to find.

    My friend and I took the Empanada making class at CocuSocial. The instructor was very fun, professional and helpful through the experience. So if you're worried about your cooking skills, he's got your back.

    La Cosecha is always amazing! I stop here every time I'm in the area (which is once a month) and I've got my daughter hooked as we prepare for her first trip to Costa Rica. I love that it's a place where she can practice her Spanish and get a little culture and I can get my fix when I'm stuck on this side of the equator. Dive into the arepas and shop some of those vendors on the outskirts because you'll be pouring money back into communities that build!

    Fun food hall with more chill vibes than nearby Union market. I tried the steak tacos and chicken tacos from one of the vendors and they were very tasty with a nice, rich flavor. Also enjoyed a cocktail from the bar, which had a creative menu. Not a ton of options and a few things were closed, but still a very cute spot.

    I love this place! Love it even more with the salsa dancing events! I went for the first time to the Thursday evening event with Baila dc and had so much fun! I will definitely be back! Also this grapefruit and rum drink was delicious!

    Bean/cheese pupusa (top) & pabello empanada (bottom)
    Isabel N.

    La Cosecha is a vibrant, cafeteria style Latin food market. There are plenty of seats spread out throughout the area. They also have two small shops which sell bags, jewelry, postcards and other knickknacks. I tried the Pabello empanada from Mosaico and a bean and cheese pupsa from La Casita, which I highly recommend.

    La Cosecha is a Latin American marketplace that offers a variety of foods, draaanks, events and also places to work remotely. I normally frequent La Casita Pupuseria, Café Unido, Arcay Chocolates, Mosaico and Peruvian Brothers. All of these restaurants are absolutely delicious and bad for my waistline, lol. I come here frequently to do some remote work. I'd recommend going up to the 2nd floor where there are less people and it's a little quieter. The wifi is decent, but expect intermittent disconnections. I definitely enjoy the atmosphere and the food is a nice treat for lunch or snacks. I wouldn't recommend it for a place to have virtual meetings since there is always music running in the background. You must try the Papusas from La Casita Pupuseria!! It's my absolute favorite over here. It's flavorful, cheesy interior with crispy outer casing will leave your mouth watering. So...good food, good atmosphere and great area for all you work from home foodies!! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

Of the dishes I've had: champurrado (yum, except not securely packaged for delivery); chips & salsa (the salsa did not agree with my tummy); sopes carnitas (pork chunks were more fat than meat); tacos fritos de pollo (super dry despite the salad that's lauered on top -- needs sauce!), and the baleadas, my favourite is the baleadas sencillas (good portion, nice flavour, perfect texture).

    Freezing, I walked along 11th street on a Tuesday evening searching for Benito's Place. An old…read morefriend had suggested it but..I couldn't find it. I walked a little back and forth, but.. no. Across the street, I saw another Mexican restaurant on the corner, but it looked closed, or even shut down. Maps told me it should be there. Looking across the street my eyes were drawn to the second floor, and a series of neon lights for a tarot card reader and psychic. Taking this as a sign, I crossed. That's when I found Benito's and realized that it's neon sign was out. Walk too fast and you might miss it. A narrow door aside a bay window lit from inside. It's a small place with a warm, cozy feeling. Benito's is very much a neighborhood Central American restaurant, but FYI: no alcohol. Started with guac and chips, usual fare, delicious but nothing that singled it out. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha and it was rather good. The chicken was grilled through but not tough, it still had moisture and you could cut it. Rice, greens, etc. and the small 2oz solo of black beans, all standard fare. The corn tortillas were interesting, not your usual thin tortillas, so it took my mind a moment to consider what I was holding. It had the thickness of a pancake, maybe a sope base, and reminded me of thick, handmade tortillas when you don't have the press. Curiously, the tortillas were not the same that my friend got with his Mole Poblano, which were thin. Granted, it was a cold Tuesday evening, but in two hours only two other individuals came in to eat. Seems like they do brisk take away business. I expect on a warmer night with higher foot traffic this place fills up quickly. The service was great, did not want for anything. We were served with two containers of sauce, green and orange. Ostensibly green chili, and habanero, I did not learn specifically however. When I dine in DC I can't help but confront the blunt question: Was it worth it? Yeah, it's good food, good people, and a good place. You'll feel comfortable there and leave full. But the price of dining out is too damn high, and this meal is on the higher side of what, ten years ago, would have been $15. I fear that prices will continue to be pushed higher and places like Benito's might disappear, so get over there because the food excellent, the people are nice, and it's just a warm space to hang out for an hour or so talking to an old friend.

The food was average at best and significantly overpriced for the quality. We paid $30 each for ají de gallina and arroz con pollo--both dishes lacked depth and were nowhere near worth that price point. The ceviche ($27) was bland and underwhelming, missing the brightness and flavor you expect from a staple like this. Even the chicha morada felt like a stretch at an extra $10. The issues weren't limited to Peruvian dishes. The kafta sandwich was dry and completely lacking flavor, and a simple salad my wife ordered came with poorly seasoned dressing. Overall, the kitchen seemed to miss the mark on both sides of the fusion concept. To make matters worse, two classic Peruvian dishes--anticuchos and jalea mixta--were unavailable. The explanation given was that they had run out after Saturday night service, which is hard to justify when we visited at 1:30 PM on a Sunday. The restaurant was nearly empty at that time, which in hindsight should have been a warning sign. All in, we spent $225 for a family of four including tip, which is more than double what the experience was worth. I would rate this place 2 out of 5 stars and would not return.

Just take the credit card over the phone on the first call/request, like 99% of businesses around the world. This place takes 3-4 steps just to order something... This person had absolutely zero idea that I made the request as a surprise, so it suggests there is pretty poor coordination and communication amongst staff. I'm sure people come here regularly and have great meals and great times. But at their prices, wine/champagne mark-ups, and promise of an 'elevated' experience -- staff need to get their act together.
