Taco review…read more Seafood is clearly their focus / specialty, but the tacos were solid. People complain about fattiness, but I like my meat moist and flavorful, gotta have some fat to make that happen. I concede that the meat isn't particularly "flavorful" beyond the taste of the meat itself, but that's fine by me. They provide two types of salsa to punch it up to your liking. I don't want my steaks covered in spices, I want to taste the beef. So these tacos were good in my book. I got cabeza and barbacoa. A LOT of meat per taco. Comes with a two salsas, a deep fried little onion, a pickled pepper, cucumber, lime, and radish. (And salt packets ). I was really pleased with it. I want to come back and try the ceviche or seafood cocktails.

Mid. Such a disappointment. I hate wasting money on mid tacos…read more 1. Barbacoa was literally ALL fat and gristle. I was so mad. 2. Carnitas - cooked well but no flavor. It was hard to keep eating. 3. Al Pastor - meat was tough and dry. 4. Cabeza - literally all fat, not worth it Mehhhh, so disappointing. Also it only came with 1 salsa type that was good but super smoky. Would've liked the typical option of salsa Verde as well

I had an excellent dinner here with a friend! When we saw how busy it was, we knew we were in for a…read moregood meal! They have a large inside seating area that gets a little loud. We sat outside on the patio, which is spread out and much quieter. Some place in the DMV charge for chips and salsa (which I hate), so I was very happy that they had included chips with a delicious and light house made salsa. We both ordered a combination platter and were pleased with our dishes. They definitely qualify as Tex mex, with generous sides of beans and rice. I'd love to come back on a beautiful day and sit outside on the patio and get some good drinks next time! They have a big menu that I'd love to try.

I ordered the "Steak A La Salvadorena" and while the steak itself was tasty, moist, and tender, I…read moredid have a few issues with the order. First off, they got my order slightly wrong. I wanted to sub the salad for a side of fries. When the food came, and I will say it was a pretty long wait time, a little under an hour, I pointed it out to the waitress and she had no problem bringing me the fries while letting me keep the salad. The salad itself was a bit plain, but it had a fresh, crisp taste to it which paired nicely with the heavy steak, so I can't complain too much. The rice and beans are classic, nothing that's going to blow you away, but still good and exactly what you'd expect. Outside of the food, I found the location pleasant. Trying to find the entrance was a bit more difficult than I would've liked since it's on the side of Georgia Avenue, but once you get inside, the tables and seating were nice. There were also a couple TVs in the back playing a live soccer match, which was a nice touch even if you can't hear much of it. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're ever in the area.

The restaurant has a very local, family-owned feel, located in a strip mall with Giant, Marshalls,…read moreChuck-E-Cheese, LA Fitness, and a bunch of smaller retail spaces. We were a party of three on a Monday, and there was only one other party of three seated. The rest of the restaurant, a large open space with tables and chairs, as well as booths, was empty. There's a bar to the right side, kitchen in the far back. It's clearly set up for shows, performances, screenings, and/or dancing with a raised stage toward the entrance and a projector screen. The service was very good. The server was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and attentive. There was a small language barrier but we overcame it by rephrasing, repeating, and gesturing. My companions ordered the quesabirria tacos, which they both devoured and raved about. The tacos did look visually stimulating, were served hot, and were a large portion for the price. I ordered the huevos rancheros without beef, and it was tasty but not astounding. The side of beans tasted like a shot of vodka was added in it and tasted terrible. I also ordered tamarindo but they were out of stock. They also didn't have tamal de elote, which was disappointing but not surprising since it's winter. I then opted for the lemonade, which was freshly made and does not come come with free refills. Soft drinks are can sodas, not from a fountain drink machine.

What a pleasant surprise. I finally decided to check El Charro out. To be honest I was a little…read moreskeptical based on how it looked from the outside. Can't judge a book by its cover. I wouldn't exactly sit down and eat, but to-go, absolutely. I grabbed three tacos (Chicken, carne asada, chorizo). They are served on corn tortillas with cilantro and cooked onions. The cooked onions were a bit different for me as I'm used to the raw diced onions. Oommggg...these tacos were packed with flavor and gave me a sense of an authentic Mexican taco. I can't believe I waited so long to for this place a shot. This will definitely be on my frequently visited spots. On top of all that, the gentleman at the counter was super friendly. That's always a plus.

It's a hole in the wall! But hole in the walls are sometimes gems! I was the only female customer at 6ish. Quite a few men in the restaurant. The ladies working there are super nice, and attentive. Let's Get Into It! Cheese Enchilada - Met expectations. The chili sauce is not spicy and they made that enchilada cheesy! Fajitas- Met expectations. I have had better fajitas honestly but these weren't bad. Price point: Very Inexpensive for the amount of food! Overall, the place is decent. It has a El Salvadoran menu and Mexican menu, which for me I'm not a fan of. The Mexican dishes were okay but their tortillas were more thick and El Salvadoran style. I wouldn't return as the food was just okay for my liking. There were loud men singing at the top of their lungs like they were on the Latin Voice and that was off putting. I get it, they are having fun, but it wasn't karaoke night and was disturbing. I left after two songs of the man singing, thankfully I was already done. Definitely worth a try though for others.

The restaurant is clean and has a small bar. I loved how clean the restrooms were. Saturdays there is a happy hour option of some food items and drinks.

The special Apple Cider Reposado margarita was good but we didn't taste any of the cider, just straight up tequila but it was good. You can also order margaritas in passion fruit, mango, strawberry, and hibiscus flavors. They get extra points because of the passion fruit flavor. The complimentary chips were okay, but the salsa stood out, it had an authentic/in house made flavor. For the main meals, everyone at the table was satisfied. We had an order of the shrimp and chicken fajitas, beef floutas and the salmon a la parrilla, grilled salmon topped with homemade mango salsa served with mixed green salad, rice & beans. The mango salsa was tasty but I didn't like how runny it was. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant itself looked clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. I would come back and try a few other items on the menu. The online menu is a bit different from what we had in person, I didn't see the mussels on the menu given to us in the restaurant. Happy Hour is from 3-7pm. This is a solid spot for a casual night out with friends for good margaritas, authentic touches, and a welcoming atmosphere.

From classic Mexican tacos packed with well-seasoned meats and fresh toppings to authentic Salvadoran pupusas with perfectly crisp exteriors and gooey, flavorful centers served alongside tangy curtido, every dish tastes homemade and full of care. The Honduran baleadas are just as satisfying warm, soft tortillas layered with creamy beans, cheese, and fresh add-ins that make each bite comforting and rich. Beyond the savory menu, their dessert selection is worth saving room for, with sweet treats like flan and pastries that feel fresh, light, and not overly sugary. The service is warm and personable, and the atmosphere feels like a neighborhood favorite where locals know they're getting quality food without the fuss. If you're near Second Street and craving authentic Latin flavors, this spot absolutely delivers.

Our drinks took forever Our food took forever…read more After we ordered, the waitress came back to say one of the dinners wasn't available. Then she left without taken a new order. The food was mediocre, the drinks were watery, the portions were quite small. Apparently they don't understand what happy hour is. They took a couple dollars off the price and gave you 1/2 the amount. I asked for tartar sauce. They gave me 1000 Island dressing. I asked again and got some other kind of salad dressing. So, either both waiters didn't know what tartar sauce is or the restaurant doesnt serve fish and chips without tartar sauce. There also was no lemon. The bill took about 1/2 hour. Really suggest you avoid this place It was nice atmosphere until some entertainment started setting up and then we couldn't hear. They were playing, just setting up and made an insane amount of noise
