The service was also very good and attentive, and the music in the patio was perfect. I really liked a lot about the place, so it was a bummer that the patio is littered with trash and looks pretty scrappy -- it and the bathroom could use some regular TLC. If they got someone to keep the space spruced up, their food was good enough to compete with other popular Mexican spots in the city. Second what everyone says about the habanero sauce. Delish!

Everything. Horrible in every way. Same items in same dish were inconsistent and gross.read more

He had a chicken sandwich which he said was decent, and then we had bean and cheese pupusas which were amazing! I called in a order of bean and cheese pupusas for my next visit and sadly was only given cheese pupusas. I called the next day and they gave me my correct order for free. I'm happy they stand by their service/food. For this reason I will def come back. Also those pupusas are bomb!

It's hard to pick the right star rating for Haydee's. The restaurant itself is strictly ordinary,…read morethree stars at best - plain Salvadoran/Mexican cuisine, reasonable prices, typical (weak) beer list with only bottles, the sort of cocktails you would expect. It's walking distance from our house, and we've been there over the years only to see a friend's band perform. But last night we were there for the weekly Sunday jazz jam, and the place was packed. We arrived a bit after the schedules 6:30 beginning, and we were lucky to get a table. By 7 PM it was standing room only as musicians kept arriving, with their drumsticks or instruments, signing in to have a chance to jam. Several first rate amateur performers, some relative duds as well, but very much worth hearing. With the jazz jam five stars. Averages at four. We will certainly be back for the jam.

I went for a Spanish language conversational class. The environment upon walking in is fun…read more There's a heavy karaoke focus and there's a booth that's present. There's a few tables on the main floor and I think there's seating on the floor above. You order at the register when you walk in, find a spot, and they bring it to you at your table (whether eating in or getting to go). Everyone was very nice. I decided to try two pupusas with cheese and a side of rice. The prices are very reasonable. I think my total was around $12. The pupusas had a strong corn taste and were very cheeeeeeesy. The rice was a good addition on the side. For the price and flavor, this was definitely a good meal.

I have drove past there and I know it can get crazy packed. The service was amazing but not so fast for a light crowd. The shrimp taco was 8/10, The steak taco was a 2/10 in my opinion I like my steak cooked a certain way and the flavor matters, wasn't nasty just not to my liking. I did ask the kitchen could I switch for another shrimp(2), I only received one because I ate half of the other, but DURING happy hour, food swap is based on how they are feeling so order with caution.(lucky today I got a pass) The Chicken(idek what you call it) was super good! I loved everything about it and order some Togo on the regular menu because to add you also can't take happy prices Togo. Overall 8/10 I would go back and this is one of my favorite new spots!

After tip, spent under $100 for steak nachos, 3 papusas, a steak burrito, chicken quesadilla, and carne guisada plate. The portions are large, the meat is well cooked, and the flavors are familiar + comforting, making the experience nostalgic. The papusas came piping hot with delicious crisp cabbage. The sour cream was the star of the show for the quesadilla. And the nachos? So simple yet absolutely mouthwatering. Service was fast and friendly. We were welcomed by a gentleman who confirmed we wanted to dine in vs take out. The music was loud, but the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Our waitress primarily spoke Spanish but she was kind and patient with me (my Spanish is rough). If you're looking for a no frills experience and a filling, quick meal, I highly recommend stopping in!

It was raining fairly heavy last week, and a friend and I were walking around Adams Morgan. We noticed the half off Margs deal; and man they did not disappoint! From the moment we entered, the two bartenders greeted us with exuberance. The bar area is a little small and tight, but you immediately forget that once you chat it up with the bartenders. If you like spice, and I mean REALLY like it, ask them to make the Reg. Marg with Chile del Arbol puree, with a candied Jalapeno. It's worth it. You get a balance of the sweet, spicy, and lime! As the night went on, we got treated to new flavors such as Hibiscus. We even got the rest of the customers in and these flavors and it was an awesome time! Don't stop at the drinks, try their tacos! They were very accommodating as my friend and I were vegetarians. We've ordered a trio; one with hibiscus, Nopal (Cactus), and just vegetarian. Nothing was lacking on flavor. Def worth checking out!

I had dinner here recently and I enjoyed the casual nature of the spot. I've gone to their previous location, which had a fire, and I like this current location much better even if it doesn't seem as popular as before. The food remains the same. Good, but not the best mexican. Though, I was spoiled living in california previously. The tacos and dips are the winner here. The quesadillas are heavy with the thick corn meal outer coating. It's just not to my taste. Overall, it's a great spot though. If it's nice weather, this is a go-to to sit on the deck. On my visit, they didnt have a liquor license but they now have it!

Rajas: This was my wife's favorite by far. Al Pastor: Far and away my favorite taco. Carne Asada: Tasted great and was what we wanted. Suadero/Carnitas/Pollo: These were fine. They lacked the intense flavors of the other tacos and while none were bad, I wouldn't get them again. Shrimp: My wife did not really like this one. Passionfruit Flan: Very subtle and not too sweet. The price was great and it was larger then expected. We enjoyed this. We enioyed our dinner on the upper outside patio and the service was great. The guy who delivers the food is so cheerful and our server gave great recommendations.
