Had some fabulous drinks and a lovely late brunch here. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly albeit perhaps a little busy. Love La Cochesa and this space fits in well with the overall theme of the food hall.

Jessica Shim
The food was solid and the vibe was on point. Inside was too loud bc they were hosting a dance night, so we sat outside. The guacamole and the salsa verde were bomb. The enchiladas per packed with meat and the octopus was perfectly cooked.

Gill Weeks
Great spot in the area. I just with there were more menu options. I really loved the guacamole. They had an awesome selection of drinks and mock tails, and happy hour from 4-6 pm

Had dinner here while visiting the Union Market area. Our server was really great and knowledgeable about the menu. The guacamole was delicious as well as the quessdilla (very unlike what I expected). I also got the short rib with polenta which was tasty and my friend enjoyed the squid ink rice with octopus. Overall not a bad visit..may check them out again.

Second time visiting. The macha salsa is soooo good! I ordered some to go to keep it in my fridge. The watermelon agua frisca was refreshing and not too sweet. The guacamole was average but good.

This was an octopus tentacle in what tasted like a molé over squid ink rice with fennel and orange salad with a light vinegarette. I was pleasantly surprised at how all the flavors blended well together.

Daniel Arreaza
This has got to be one of my favorite new places in the DMV area. The service was fenomenal, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice fall afternoon. The coche y pepe is a delightful flavor filled discovery. The enchiladas are great, the ice-cream with tres leches cream and the sweet-salty pop corn and the coctails were just a piece of heaven.

Wanita Niehaus
Innovative, fresh takes on pan latin food. Housemade blue corn tortillas made a gorgeous base for an arugula mushroom quesadilla. Generous portion of perfectly grilled pulpo, with 2 sauces…mole and salsa totally worth a try!
