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

A late-night menu of taquitos and spreads is available every evening after the main kitchen has closed. Via Cityeats.com 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.

Portions are very small and expensive but the foods are great! Must try nachos and alambres. I also had the best quesedilla ever! Good job!

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

Get the El Bandolero Margarita! Perfect for a hot summer day. Potent and delicious.

Great margaritas on tap. Love the chicken tacos (cheap at happy hour). Fun atmosphere.
Kelly VelezSeptember 15, 2012
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.
AMAJune 20, 2012
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.

Must try the Alambres, steak tacos, plantains, mole negro & MarGAritas on tap (not blended)!!!!!!!
Reuben IngberFebruary 24, 2013
This place is fantastic. Try the Red Snapper Ceviche and the Tuba Taquitos.

Grab the Pineapple Fruta Margarita!! Brock makes it best!!!!!!!!!!!
ECSFebruary 17, 2013
Get the snapper ceviche as an app- it is far better than the tuna tartar!
Jonathan RobinsonSeptember 27, 2012
Fantastic Mexican small plates! The suckling pig tacos and mahi mahi especially
Anch WJune 3, 2012
Try the Casa En Fuego - made with 11 habanero infused tequila, patron citronage, strawberry & lime
ZekeAugust 6, 2014
The El Bandolero Margarita is $5 during happy hour and *strong*!
Amanda ZuckermanJanuary 5, 2013
Fresh guac, unreal snapper ceviche, and great pork tacos.
Carl EricksonJune 9, 2013
The El Dorado is pretty awesome as well as the Casa En Fuego. Que Bueno¡
Erica LoGiudiceJune 1, 2014
This place is the bees knees... Get the empanadas and the gueso fundido
Maria GudzenkoJuly 21, 2014
Incredible guacamole with nachos, tasty & fresh
Ana R.February 2, 2013
Try the tuna taquito, the queso fundido and the suckling pig. In that order.
Lauren SzurleyAugust 17, 2012
Absolutely delicious! But definitely over priced for the small portion... Great for an appy!
Evan SamekNovember 10, 2012
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.
Bryan RosenthalDecember 9, 2012
Suckling Pig tacos are to die for!!!

What everyone else said: they sure pour their cocktails heavy!
Kat LMay 12, 2013
Go for happy hour only. Pork taco and guacamole were great for $5. Lamb was ok. Wouldn't pay full price here.
Cale JrJuly 8, 2012
Amazing food, fun environment, but avoid until they fix the AC

Really one of the best brunches in the city
Nicole KyleAugust 9, 2014
Blood orange margaritas are great
Ylan McClintockJuly 2, 2013
Ask for Brock! Best bartender ever!
KeriApril 13, 2014
Came after midnight...dark bar, rap music but knowledgable bartenders. Craving guacamole but the kitchens closed
Michael QuisaoFebruary 10, 2013
The suckling pig tacos are fantastic.
Anch WJune 4, 2012
Don't leave without having the suckling pig tacos!

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.
Denise GuzmanJune 1, 2013
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.
Augenie JustineApril 21, 2014
Really good crab tacos but not much else
MakedaAugust 8, 2014

Best Guacamole in D.C
Patrick SchuererJuly 11, 2012
Ok service. Food was good. The air was out - so not a very comfortable dining experience.
Paulina Chávez AlonzoMarch 30, 2013
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.
Sona PAugust 10, 2013
Amazing food, worst service.
Nicole CallahanJune 10, 2012
Queso Fundido was awesome.
