They provide unlimited chips also salsa which were very tasty and have really nice glasses for water andbeverages. The food was really delicious and reasonably priced. You can do small plates or family style. We tried many of theoptions all really tasty and filling. Our waitress was very nice and really helpful with ordering. The watermelon mojito thatwas recommended was insanely cool and delicious! Overall great experience and perfect food option when you are in DC.

It was good to get a taste of multiple dishes. We also ate quite a few chips with the spicy homemade salsa. Our wait staff wasvery attentive and the food was very good.

We had a great evening here. The server was kind and friendly. The food was amazing. They bring you warm chips and salsa, which are great. We tried two different margaritas. The Serrano Margarita was a spicy delicious kick inthe face : The Al Gusto was good as well. All 3 tacos were excellent. Really well done. And the place feels reasonably priced.The decor is super eclectic and fun as well, butterflies everywhere. We would highly recommend this place.

We got the tasting menu because we couldn’t decide what to get. We got such a variety of different food that it wastruly a tasting menu. The only thing that we didn’t like was that the tasting menus were individually portioned, but rather2 3 people would have to share a plate. We got two pitchers of margaritas and that was a solid drink. Be sure to book this inadvance as it can get quite busy during dinner time!
