    The snapper tostadas, calamari and hanger steak are extraordinary. Don't hesitate on ordering a pitcher of margaritas. This place is the best reason for coming into Georgetown. Hollah!

    The crispy Brussels are off the hook! Alambres (hanger steak) and tuna taquitos are delish. Enchilada verde great option for veggies.

    Try what we’ve found to be the perfect summer soup: Bandolero’s tomatillo-and-avocado gazpacho is poured over marinated watermelon and orange, for a creamy, tart and utterly refreshing result: Read more

    Siki pak dip & suckling pig tacos = yum but overall this place is about small, over-priced tapas. Ideal for a drink and a snack IF you're already in Gtown.

    Pork belly taco is to die for. The margarita pitchers are a bit small for the price but the drinks were strong.

    Pair a fiery Casa en Fuego with blue-crab taquitos, which tuck sweet coconut-marinated shellfish and diced purple potatoes into blue-corn divots: Read more

    Suckling pig tacos and raw tuna taquitos are amazing. Would highly recommend ordering 2-3 small plates per person.

    First you're like, "What? Shrimp fundido? Seafood and cheese? That sounds gross!" And then you're like, "Hi, ten more, please." Also the tuna taquitos.

    Pricey but very delicious! Be sure to try the Bandolero Margarita..it's listed in the on tap section of the menu.

    This will be misspelled because I'm already drunk -- but that's the point... Extremely heavy pours and innovative drinks. Don't try them all in the same night or you'll end up sleeping it off outside.

    Horrific serving size. $12 for 2 very tiny tacos? Are you kidding me? If you live in dc, keep walking. Portion size is bordering on abusive. Even the very high quality margaritas can't make up for it.

    Bandolero in Georgetown suspended with "lots of flies." no hot water, food at risky temps. @wusa9. Passed reinspection. Passed reinspection. Unidentified worker blamed it on landlord dispute

    Not great service. Time between dishes was long. Waiters were not really paying attention. Also, since the kitchen is open we could see the prep & while cutting apples a woman kept eating slices.

    Warning: Margaritas are actually just Tequila straight with a splash of lime. I'm not complaining though ;) Food is overpriced. It's basically tapas, not meals. Taste good though. Service is slow.

    The food tastes good but the portions are ridiculously small. You have to order many dishes so you can feel full. Very expensive for what you get.
