    Closeup of tacos

    Delicious authentic Mexican tacos and cemitas (sandwich) ! I tried four different tacos carne asada, chicken, barbacoa, and carnitas. All of them were incredible, I particularly liked the Carne Asada and Carnitas as they were crispy crunchy small pieces of tender meat that were super delicious. The salsas that came with the tacos were super delicious as well and had a nice punch to them. I also ordered the Carne Asada Cemita, which had a delicious crunch of lettuce, fresh avocado, fresh serving of meat and a nicely toasted bun with a side of salsa verde. The gentleman who owns the place is very accommodating, and very friendly. I recommended to him to consider making burritos as the combination of their delicious meats, coupled with their fresh vegetables, would make an awesome new to go option. There is a counter to eat, if you would like to have the fresh food right on the spot. This place has by far the most authentic Mexican tacos in the DC area, a competition for DC's best Mexican food must include this place.

    Nicely renovated the former Guajillo Chalateco into a cleaner and fresher space. Menu a little more limited than your typical taqueria, but they more than make up for it with quality food. Fresh, hand made tortillas I watched them press before going on the comal, nicely stuffed with excellent lamb barbacoa and accompanied with a shimmering dark red salsa that was smoky and spicy. Spanish rice was arguably the best I've had in town - neck and neck with Mezcalero, as well as excellent refried black beans. Come show them some love. Good food made with care, all you could ask for from a neighborhood taco joint.

    Carne Asada tacos were tasty and the cilantro was fresh. It was ready fast but still hot when I got there. I'll be back to try the lamb.

    Absolutely incredible- loved all the tacos as well as the menudo and the sopes. Barbados and carnitas were especially highlights.

    I have been here roughly a billion times since my last review. They aren't perfect but pretty…read moreclose to it in terms of consistency. A couple of feedback issues from a regular: the tostadas are too hard and please bring back the short rib for the dinner entree, which was easily the best tasting item and value of any restaurant anywhere. This place is amazing. Recommend: birria, Guac (don't add the herbs), carne asada, house margaritas with tequila, enchiladas with tres moles, and the pan frances for brunch. Thank me later. Service is always great, but please provide more napkins at the start.

    Great Vegan Options (4.25/5)…read more Cielo Rojo is in an awkward location, sandwiched between a firehouse and a car shop. However, their food drives many customers to their doors. My family and I were looking for a new and different Mexican place with lots of vegan options and Google search showed me Cielo Rojo. I was happy to see a dedicated vegan menu and some excellent reviews so we gave it a try. Overall we were pleased with the unique menu but thought the flavors could have been elevated. Food (1.75/2) - most of the picks we had were great but some were lacking.... Flavor. The pan y macha butter was pleasantly a great start to the evening. Though the bread could have been a little softer, the macha butter wasn't overwhelming. The queso fondito could be skipped, there wasn't anything special and in fact I wouldn't order it next time. The guacamole was fresh and herby, however, there just wasn't enough of it in one order. I wouldn't recommend ordering two even for just two people. The street corn was a hit between my kids and my wife. They loved the sweet, tangy, and spicy corn that melted in their mouths. And the tacos were great as well. However, I felt the Gorditas under delivered for sure. I was expecting a flavor punch but received more of a chewy patty on a bland sauce. But if life could be thrown on it by additional fresh herbs and flavors. Drinks (1/1) - we only tried one cocktail and ordered a Mexican cola for our dinner but what we received was good enough to show they know their drinks. My drink wasn't under spiked or unbalanced, it went smoothly. The hibiscus flavor along with the spirit was showing boldly through the syrups. I wouldn't recommend ordering love to try another cocktail next time. Service (0.75/1) - I wish I could say the service was exceptional but there were times we were waiting too long for a service member to show up. They were friendly and polite but definitely could have had more touch points with us throughout the night. We sorta felt abandoned at times. Again, nothing much to complain but something to improve upon. Decor (0.75/1) - overall, it's a welcoming spot with art pieces of their heritage. However, there were lots of dusty sellables that probably should be removed from the dining floor. It didn't mix well with a great restaurant. Not sure if they really need to sell a rack of clothing right next to where we were sitting to be honest. In the end, the food was decent, unique, and welcoming to vegetarians so we would comeback again and give other items on their menu a try. Hopefully, flavor profile can be more prominent next time.
