Happy Hour Alert!…read more First, why did I take so long to check out this gem?! Well, I'm glad that I finally did because my Happy Hour experience was fantastic!!!!! No reservations made, we made the decision to visit at the spur of the moment and the hostess was very accommodating. Shoutout to our incredible waitress Maria! Thank you for your recommendations and hospitality. Happy Hour- the prices and the portions are beautifully matched in that they were affordable and generous in serving. Drinks: I ordered the passion fruit margarita which was AMAZING! The liquor to passion fruit juice ratio was spot on and the drink had a little smokiness to it, thanks to the dried fruit added on top. My next drink was the white sangria which was okay but I think that my experience with the margarita made it hard for me to enjoy this drink right after. It wasn't bad, just wasn't my favorite like the margarita was lol My last drink was the espresso martini (not on the HH menu). This drink was worth every penny and now added to my top 20. Food: Spicy creamy shrimp- a dish so delicious, we ordered another one. The crunch on the shrimp set the tone for the burst of flavor to follow. The shrimp was fresh and the flavors combined so well. Mejillones en curry, which came with a slice of blue corn bread, was absolutely delicious! The curry sauce was such a hit that we talked about it long after dinner ended. Using it as a dipping sauce for the blue corn bread was also a good touch. This dish was creamy and the mussels were delicious and fresh. Brussel sprouts- a fun play on roasted Brussels with a delectable peanut butter sauce added. This was another fav, pretty much all of the food was phenomenal but this dish left you wanting more. Lastly, we had the Tostada de Cangrejo which was perfectly topped with crabmeat. The crabmeat was sweet, I cannot explain but the sweet succulent taste was complimented by the creamy guacamole. To conclude an amazing time, we tried their Tres Leches cake and I would say that I didn't like the whipped cream topping but I loved the cake itself. Overall, I had an incredible time. The ambiance was simply beautiful, grown, and sexy. The food was impeccable! And the drinks were divine!

Great food and service!…read more Had the guacamole, the cafe de olla, and the serrano bloody Mary. All delicious!

Came here to pre-game before the Pride Parade with my friend…read more Ordered a tequila shot and our bartender 13 (yes the number 13) hooked us up with the tequila shot -- salt, like, and all! 13's a chill dude and if he's behind the bar you'll be entertained.

To be completely honest, this was such a disappointing experience. I've heard great things about…read morethis restaurant so I had high hopes, but those hopes were not met. Our server, Sama, was the best part of our experience. He was attentive and made many suggestions. However, the food did not live up to any expectations. To start out, we ordered guacamole. Simple, plain guacamole. The guacamole came out covered in bacon. We're pescatarian. The server put it in properly, but the kitchen messed it up. After another 15ish minutes, someone (I'm assuming a manager) brought out the corrected item. It genuinely tasted like premade, store bought guacamole. Next, the pound of Buffalo shrimp that we ordered came out. It was extremely soggy. No crispiness at all. We also ordered an order of fries. When the shrimp was brought out., the gentleman who brought it out asked us if we wanted bacon on the fries (he didn't have any fries with him). Now this is the same gentleman (not our server) who brought out the guacamole with bacon that had to be sent back. After waiting almost another 7-8 minutes, fries finally came out. Now again I say, our server was amazing. He offered to have the shrimp remade because as soon as he saw the shrimp, he said, "That's not what I promised you." We declined as we'd been in the restaurant almost another hour and really just wanted the check. Although our server attempted to make a small bit of the many issues that came with this experience better, with the extensive amount of challenges not one time did management come back to the table to attempt to make anything right. There were significant issues with the kitchen and management of this establishment. We paid the tab and left, but will not be back, nor will I ever recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Extremely disappointed with my experience. I placed a takeout order, but they rang it up as dine-in…read moreand added almost $50 in gratuity without my consent. A tip should always be the customer's choice, especially for takeout. I've been to all kinds of restaurants, and this is the first time something like this has ever happened to me. On top of that, they charged $5 for a Jarritos, and the food was expensive for what was honestly a very mid meal. The lack of professionalism and transparency is unacceptable. I won't be coming back.

So, we've been going here for over 10 years, and things have sort of gone down a bit. Not bad, but…read moresort of average. - service - slow. We went at 3 pm and there was only one other table. The staff seemed focused on serving To Go drinks and mostly ignored us. 10 minutes for chips and salsa/take orders,10 more for water (never refilled), 30 minutes after we ordered we got our food (quesadillas, papusas, tortilla soup.) The chips were stale and the salsa bland. Tortilla soup was hearty and above average. Papusa was good, quesadillas very good. Hopefully it's a phase and not a trend.

Dropped by here this weekend when I was in the neighborhood after noticing a promising menu item -…read morethe crab taco. The spot is a bit of a hole in the wall, but once inside it feels warm and inviting. There was only one waitress (which is appropriate based on size) and she was so friendly and attentive. I was able to place my order quickly and the food was soon to follow. Considering I only ordered two tacos, there was a pretty ample amount of food! I really enjoyed the crab taco and was pleasantly surprised with the generous amount of meat. The carne asada taco was good but less memorable. However, I really loved the hibiscus drink - so much so that I ordered a second one to go! Overall, cute little neighborhood spot that I'll happily return to!

Best burritos in DC. I walk from Navy Yard to eat here on weekends, that's how good they are. Must…read morehave eaten here over 50 times. I don't do the breakfast ones because I'm just conceptually not a breakfast burrito guy. But the lunch burritos have nothing to envy any burrito in California, Arizona or New Mexico despite the protestations of some from SoCal or AZ who would never admit such a thing. The fresh squeezed lemonade is great too. The guys who run it are great. I order in Spanish. They're friendly. And they remember you. There's no protection from the elements eating there but that's the only downside.

We were in Eastern Market and decided to get some food. Since it was still morning, I decided to…read moreget a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The burrito was massive and was packed with veggies.

I don't know if Los Caballeros qualifies as a hole-in-the-wall establishment, but it certainly…read moreexceeded my expectations. I will admit that I am not always a big fan of Mexican food. However, I had a rare craving and Los Cabelleros exceeded my expectations. I am from DC, so I am not an expert on Mexican, but everything here feels authentic. We enjoyed the chips and salsa, quesadilla, queso, steak flautas, and mango drink. I wanted to get the churros so bad, but we were too full. So, we'll get them the next time. The service was friendly and informal. I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe I like Mexican afterall and just hadn't experienced authenticity. Either way, if I ever have a craving or have guests in town that want Mexican, this will be my go to spot.

We were seated upon arrival and our server was friendly. The inside is a little on the darker side, there were windows at the front but most of the restaurant is enclosed by walls. The happy hour menu was very affordable. We ordered off both menus. We got the Mexican street corn, yucca fries, HH nachos, and the HH quesadilla chicken tinga. The nachos were my favorite. And the quesadilla. The street corn was a nice lighter dip. I would probably pass on the yucca fries next time.

It's a great place to go with friends, date night or solo. It's very intimate, dark and cozy. We came for the steak which was amazing but the star of the show for me was the branzino.

Everything was so good! Can't wait for my next visit.

They offered a bottomless food and mimosas option so that is what we ordered. Their brunch is a bit different from other bottomless brunches because they bring out everything on the menu to you instead of you picking.

The atmosphere was nice, the service was great, and the food was good. I also got a birthday treat.
