SOLID spot for taco Tuesday!! There’s $3 tacos and drink specials and dancing later in the evening. The manager, Mariah, RUNS that place! She’s doing such a good job! It’s noticeably different than other times I’ve been here! Such a fun vibe! 100% recommend and will definitely be back! 🙂 I love the blood orange drink!

Their happy hour is pretty awesome given it’s location. Had several Hellbender IPAs and my wife had a few cocktails. The guac n’ chips were freshly made. The flautas (happy hour deal… GET THEM!!) were also solid. Wife n’ I bought tacos (carne asada n Baja)…but forgot to take pics…but they were the best tacos we’ve had on the East Coast.

Brunch is amazing ! Fantastic food and the bottomless drinks are great! Definitely do bottomless brunch. The chicken and waffles is amazing. Great breading and portions. Side of fruit is fresh. Will recommend to everyone

Everything was great except for the blonde bartender at the big screen bar (on second floor) who was excessively rude and disrespectful. Hopefully she’ll learn how to treat people better, everyone is already going through a difficult life, having a drink at a bar shouldn’t be another difficult experience for the patrons. I did not let her behavior affect my tip because she might be having a bad day but hopefully this will be a lesson for her.

Good size space. The music is very teeny bopper, top hits. Lots of young kids jumping up and down. Not my vibe but it’s somebody’s for sure.

Very Adams Morgan appropriate sitting along side many ethnic restaurants. Adams Morgan has lots of life even at 4:30 pm. I enjoyed the barbacoa burrito which had lots of flavor beautifully blended together. It also came with chips and a green salsa. Not a ton of food choices but enough. In fairness it’s as much a bar as a restaurant. I’m sure it’s a hopping place at night! They also have a nice brunch menu but I came just after it ended. The brunch menu looked good & there are lots of tacos to select from.

Wow! First time in DC and I work the industry… All I have to say is the customer service is sensational! I felt so taken care of. Mariah and Mike were phenomenal! One of the best bartenders ever. Hard to find nowadays.

Good place. Decent food and good margaritas. We got the pitcher of mezcal margarita (good flavor, not too sweet) – my only complaint is that it should be served on ice so the pitcher doesn’t warm up. We also got the nachos, the flautas, and the elote (not on the cob) and all were good. I especially liked the nachos.
