Get a carne asade or carnitas burrito and a Limon Jarritos!
best tacos in the area. two corn tortillas filled with tons of meat and onion and cilantro. carnitas and al pastor are great. don't miss the salsa bar.
Best carnitas tacos around. Don't forget to load up on salsa and other tasty sauces.
Had several tacos here. The carnitas, the carne asada and the shredded beef Very nice. Even sampled the breakfast burrito. I'm a taco snob and these people are pretty good.
They have good slow cooked pork and beef. I liked the three tacos with carnitas, it was very good
Chicken Tacos! With Rice, Pico, Black beans, Peppers/Onions.
Reminds me of the hole in the wall places I'd find back in Orange County. Loved the lengua, carnitas, fish tacos, and breakfast burritos!
Great little find. Spinach quesadillas are the way to go!
Chorizo tacos are clutch performers.
The carnitas and the al pastor...omfg.
AUTHENTIC stuff here. Scratch made corn tortilla. The tacos were super moist and well-seasoned. The carnitas, chicken, shimp, al pastor, and canitas w/pineapple. Loved 'em all!
Recommend any of the sopes and the street tacos especially the el pastor, chicken, and barbacoa ones. Try them with a habanero margarita.
We were 3 people and shared 2 starters, the guacamole and the queso fundido con chorizo mejicano. 2 of us shared a huarache al pastor and then I had a Gordita de carnitas, a bit greasy but so good!
Chile relleno was excellent and the nacho chips with red salsa a yummi! Took me back to a real traditional fonda :D
Huge upgrade from El Sauce. Decent food AND you won't get stabbed
Definitely the best Mexican I've had in DC! Get the Carnitas!
Burrito desnudo with half-and-half carnitas and el pastor (no extra charge) was eh okay, but the serving was HUGE and cheap - only $7.70 ($7 plus tax)! Both pork meat were dry, not soft or tender
So far everything I have eaten here has been delicious I am partial to the 3 tacos with steak it’s amazing!!
Get the Carnita sandwich and don't to add some sauce (green or orange sauce both work)
Excellent pollo a la brasa. Go for the fried yucca over french fries!
Chicken was a bit salty
Love the ambiance here. If you can’t get a resy for the main dining room, ask if you can sit downstairs at the speakeasy. Fav parts of my meal were La Luna, the short ribs tacos, and the enchiladas!
Can’t go wrong with any of the guacamole options. The seafood enchiladas and empanadas were solid too.
The CrabCake Tostada, Grilled Mushroom Tacos, and Wood Grilled chicken were delicious 😋
The guac is extra.
Pre order online to avoid the line
Bowl of brown rice with grilled chicken and cheese and extra lattice 👍🏼😋
Chicken burritto was huge and excellent - enough on both accounts to please a very picky teen! Read more.
Try the Alhambre Mexicana. Deee-lish!
The carnitas tacos and chicken tamales were delish! Great place for a light meal and drinks for a decent price. The wait staff is awful though. Poor customer service.
Amazing tacos! Carne asada, fish and al pastor is a killer threesome.
While I'm partial to on-the-rocks, the frozen margarita is more bang for your buck.
You really can't go wrong with any of the taco options here, but highly recommend the pescado Baja California, lengua guisada, carnitas estilo Michoacán, and pancita de puerco al pastor tacos.
José Andrés' Mexican tapas joint is a lively, vibrant scene. Don't miss the tasty mojitos, guacamole (made in front of you) and the traditional, yet complex chile en nogada, among other tasty treats.
This Mexican playground from creator Jose Andres is a trailblazer. Thanks to recent expansion next door, it's also more comfortable than ever.
Their fajitas look, smell and taste amazing!
When you are shopping for a home in Brightwood and Petworth, run in and try the baked chicken. Its a great meal.
The steak is amazing...huge portions
Great frozen margs, carnitas tacos, and guacamole
Good service + good food = happy customer!
The strawberry swirl margaritas are the best.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
