This is one of the spots my co workers been buzzing about and finally I gave in and tried it. Ommmgggg!!!! can we say madddd flavor! The food was soooo yummy! Cooked to perfection! Almost made a tear come out the flavor was so fresh! I cheated and ordered online and just picked up my food. However I was a little upset that I paid for my chips and queso only to receive the queso without the chips. Had to go back up there while on break. And also I did not like the flavor of the queso.... But hey we can't win them all. I'll definitely be back to try other things off the menu! read more

I had been wanting to try Well Dressed Burrito for some time. I ordered a burrito and a chimichanga for pick up. It was ready by the time I got there to pick it up. It was a very simple order, but they got the meat wrong in the burrito and made it a pork burrito instead of beef. The food was good despite the error in the order! The guacamole was delicious, and they gave a big portion. We were happy with the meal overall. read more

I can't comment on service or ambience as I got delivery but wow. Chipotle this ain't. I got the Tuesday special, ground beesy, spicy queso, lettuce, tomato, and rice with habanero sauce. This burrito was tight, nothing falling apart or spilling out. Perfect cut and a perfect distribution of ingredients. Spicy, fresh and not 50% rice like some places. Got it fast too. read more

What a chill spot, tucked in an alley in DC. Prices are affordable, and food is okay. I had the chimichurri steak, although I was surprised to notice the lack of seasoning , and that it was definitely over cooked. Hubby really enjoyed his burrito though! And, service was pleasant! read more

The Well Dressed Burrito - Chimichurri steak comes with fries, and salad. Hefty meal for well under $20 - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Absolutely--here's the BEST HIDDEN stop! My go-to lunch spot in D.C.! Well-Dressed Burrito never misses--perfectly seasoned steak, golden fries, and that chimichurri sauce? Chef's kiss. All for around $15, it's one of the best deals downtown. Quick, flavorful, and consistent. Plus, I'm so glad they've extended their hours--it's great to have more time to swing by. 5 out of 5 stars! read more

Great selection of tacos, bowls and salads. The variety salsa and guacamole are so fresh!

Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall after we find out that our original dinner plans ($18 lobster from Mad Hatter -- maybe we dodged a bullet) were sold out. Couldn't be more happy with our dining experience. I had my first birria tacos & they were delicious! Pretty large portions for around 10.99 per platter. Clean interior and decent seating (though no proper seating for large groups; I came with 4 people and we had to spread out awkwardly at bar-style seating). The dude who took our orders was super friendly! Probably not the best Mexican food in DC but considering that we were wandering around hungry and lost, this saved us. read more

The Well Dressed Burrito certainly excels in portion sizes. I ordered two tacos that were each filled with beef. I wish they were just as generous with their toppings and offered other sauce options, though. The taco itself was pretty bland, but you get what you pay for. For $10-15, it's fine~~ but there are definitely better places in DC. read more

Talk about a whole in the wall. My wife saw this place on Tik Tok and said we had to give them a try. Me being who I am, i obliged. We pulled up to this location only to realize it's in the middle of an alley. Definitely caught me off guard. We ordered the Dos Tacos and the Steak Chimichurri's. The food came out piping hot. I personally ordered the Steak Chimichurri's and they were absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Nicely season. The fries underneath were good too. I wish it was a larger portion but for $12 bucks I guess that's all you get. I'd probably return for the steak but everything else was ok. read more

Great quaint restaurant. Reasonable prices and great food. Would come back again soon.

Since 1986, locals will tell you to go to a Dupont Circle alley to find a good burrito. 36 years later, it stands true. After going for lunch on a Wednesday, here's my experience: 1) Food: Posted at the entryway in the alley is a long menu of different kinds of burritos, open-face burritos, tacos and other items. Open every day of the week for lunch and dinner, there's always a daily special, making it a more affordable lunch in an expensive neighborhood. I ordered the grilled shrimp taco with mild salsa and all the fillings- lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions and peppers, etc. It was good, but I wish I had requested rice to fill in the burrito more. With a line, I only had to wait for 10-15 minutes and ordering was easy! 2) Space: It's tucked away in an alley with views of St. Matthews Cathedral. Inside is small, but they make good use of the space. There's a clear area to order and a small dining area that doubles as a waiting area. There's a bookshelf filled with old cookbooks and other items, local art on the walls and a 2014 mural by Bryan King of dancing penguins by the Dupont Circle fountain. 3) Neighborhood: Just south of Dupont Circle there are countless restaurants nearby for the lunch and dinner crowds. Public art, museums and art galleries, there's a lot to do. If you love a good deli, wander a block to Bub and Pop's. read more

This place gave me the runs and I spent the next couple days nursing a debilitating stomach issue. I ordered the Chimmichunga with beef, and the beef was so dry and chewy. It was just put inside the fried burrito and wasn't shredded or sliced up. This place is really a hole in the wall though. As other people have said, it is in an alleyway, but its pretty well marked that its there. That being said, I probably won't be coming back. My stomach and stool are traumatized from this experience. read more

I looooved this spot! I'm so happy I found a great burrito spot in DC! This place is an absolute gem! I ordered the weekend burrito that has marinated pork, beans, cheese, and spicy salsa. I added guacamole inside the burrito. The spicy salsa is actually hottt! My mouth was on fire and I loved it! The guacamole was perfection. Made the flavor of the tender pork pop with every bite! The Mexican bread pudding was great as well! I do wish a few of the bits of bread were softer but I really enjoyed the cinnamon and raisin that was in it. Best end to my delicious burrito. My only complaint is my drink wasn't put in with my delivery. They missed it in the order. Not a huge deal. Didn't ruin the meal at all. Still a 5 star meal! read more

Large portions but food was cold which was very odd. Cheese was not even melted at all on burrito. Kind of disappointed overall. Staff was friendly. I wish it had been more appetizing. read more

Tiny little spot off an alley near DuPont Circle. The decor is really cute and there is a small amount of seating. When we went, there was one other person there. The employee at the counter told us about a few of his favorite dishes and we settled on the fish tacos. It took a LONG time for our food to come out. The fish itself was great, but the tortillas seemed really stale and the rice underneath the tacos didn't taste that great. I liked that they served the tacos on top of rice and a generous salad (it also comes with beans, which I skipped), just wish the tortillas hadn't ruined it for me. I probably should have ordered a burrito instead. read more

Solid spot, nice staff. Good portions. Wouldn't seek this out but if you're in the area, it's a great option.

This is becoming a solid lunch spot, and that is solidified especially with the chef's special, the salmon and shrimp open face burrito. There is so much flavor packed into the dish that I am astounded that people would choose certain other fast food restaurants when the well dressed burritos provides incredibly delicious food at an unbeatable price. The salmon and shrimp were amazing, the rice was perfect, and the honey chipotle sauce was exceptional! The service was fairly quick. Even though the restaurant was packed, I only waited about 5-7 minutes for my food. The ambiance is nice and homey, but I typically just grab my food and head back to work. Exceptional burrito from an exceptional place! read more

Maybe I've been spoiled with decent Mexican food in LA and shouldn't expect much from DC, but don't call it the 'well dressed burrito' when the burrito was almost naked. The open burrito had lettuce, 'salsa', cilantro, and a few pieces of dry chicken and steak with a sauce that doesn't pair well at all. Beans?? How about a cilantro lime sauce? Shredded cheese? A slice of avocado? Disappointed because the reviews seemed decent, but it was one of the most underwhelming Mexican food experiences I've ever had. Flavors were as unappetizing as it looks in the picture. read more

I was definitely caught off guard as i went into this experience expecting some really good mexican. The staff was very friendly and accommodating when i came to order. Ended up getting the well dressed burrito with grilled chicken for takeout. Wow - talk about bland. The burrito was barely wrapped, basically falling apart. The ingredients had absolutely ni flavor whatsoever. I am confused why this place is so hyped. There must be better Mexican in the area. Wouldnt recommend read more

Definition of hole in the wall, this spot is located right in an alleyway. The burritos are spot on. I had the pork burrito, for less than $10, it is hard to beat during inflation times! It's a very decent size, it will fill you up but you don't feel sickly stuffed like Chipotle. The hot salsa is not too spicy if you're used to eating regular Mexican spice levels. Friendly staff and cute penguin related decor on the walls. read more

Terrible Got the whole order wrong (two burritos and we were the only guests there) and the steak was under seasoned. Do not recommend at all. read more

First off, it's a tiny spot! You could easily miss it, so look around and up at signs. The food isn't unlike Chipotle, but it seems more authentic. I ordered a burrito which seemed fitting for the name of the place, but it was cold... the cheese wasn't melted inside, the rice seemed lukewarm, and the meat was okay. My SO ordered a taco plate, which was nicely packed but wasn't overly impressive either. The salsas are good, though! I did enjoy their habanero salsa and a bag of chips. It did pack some heat, and I would definitely return for that. We visited on a Friday at an off time, which worked out because we received wonderful customer service and got to choose seats together. Again, the space is small so it can easily get crowded. read more

Why is the Well Dressed Burrito closing at lunchtime? I am one of your most loyal customers and I eat your food for likely 25% of my lunches throughout the year. For the last two weeks the restaurant has been closed over the lunch hour on Tuesday. A poster says this is due to demand for catering. Obviously business clients for catering services are more important than customers who have been showing up for decades. Please keep the shop open. Thank you. read more

The Well Dressed Burrito is a dope burrito/mexican spot hidden away in the ally's of DC. They have a huge menu and all their food is fresh and filling! We ordered the grilled burritos, chips, queso, and guac! The burrito was A LOT and had a great combination of flavors. It was a flour tortilla with lettuce, tomato, zucchini, squash, pico de gallo, cauliflower, onion, rice, sour cream, guacamole, black beans, and hot sauce. The spot is perfect for vegetarians, since you can modify anything on their menu. It wasn't ground breaking or anything, but still a solid meal. But to be honest, it was the guac that stole the show! It was super fresh and lemony making for the perfect guacamole. It was the perfect addition to the burrito and as a side. The flavors really enhanced the rest of the meal. Coupled with the hot sauce, it was the perfect addition. The queso was also good, but again nothing ground breaking. The chile and onions inside do enhance the flavor! Pro tip: get guac inside your burrito! You can thank me later. read more

My chicken burrito came out to be roughly $9. It was huge and the chicken was in long chunks. I weigh 185lb and I felt like it was hard to finish. Not sure what it was the beans or some topic inside, but it made the burrito leak everywhere. I would rather eat at Chipotle since it is cheaper and the chicken has a char on it which I personally like better and has fresher toppings I feel. The sauce they gave on the side was too sweet too. Getting to this place was odd too it's placed in the middle of an alley way. Inside is pretty cramped so it might be hard to find seating. We pre-ordered online and once we got there multiple workers locked eyes with us, but didn't bother asking us what we need even when we came to the counter. Pro: -Big burrito and lots of fillings Cons: -Could use better service -Pricey compared to Chipotle -Hard to locate store -Not enough space inside to eat Tips: -Give it a try once just to explore! read more

I didn't take a picture because I was hungry but the service here was nice enough. I got the shrimp bowl (the one without rice) and got black beans and they forgot to put any cheese on top so I went back up to get queso that was very similar to Chipotle's. The fajitas needed to be cooked longer too. The peppers were too crunchy. My friends got the cheese quesadilla and a burrito and we all agreed that we didn't need to come back. I literally put salt and pepper on my meal because there was literally no seasoning or flavor to my meal. It's cheap but I would've rather had chipotle. read more

We couldn't believe this place in DC. The food was so good with affordable price. The restaurant is located in the alley. The staff were nice and friendly. There was lack of seating but we didn't mind as long as food was good. We would definitely come back next time when we are in town. read more

The Well Dressed Burrito indeed! I love this place. I have been here 4 times already! Their Guacamole dip and salsa chips is amazing. I have had their Quesadillas, their Empanadas and their Burrito's. After living in Miami for more than 20 years, I think I know a little something about a Nachos Supreme! This gem is hidden down an alley, but it's so worth the adventure. The restaurant is clean and the people are friendly! Generous portions are given and suggestions are made. I will keep coming back, because this place ROCKS. read more

So here's the thing, I ordered a veggie burrito here and it honestly didn't make me angry, it just made me disappointed. Veggies in a burrito should be of the pepper and onion variety, but squash and zucchini? Those are two things I definitely do not want in my Mexican food. It didn't make me angry, but it just made me really sad. So now, I just finished eating my squash? Burrito and I'm writing this review to just express how upset and how I want people to potentially reference other Mexican food spots like chipotle. It's not authentic, but you bet your bottom dollar that squash and zucchini aren't in a fifty mile radius of their burritos. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Sincerely, A concerned customer read more
