Leah FibonacciOctober 29, 2010For all those with gluten or dairy sensitivity, ask for the gf or df menu!
Natasha ShalimoSeptember 29, 2014The place went bad. Was very excited to go there after long time, did not worth it at all. Cocktails haven't changed though, same great.
Daniel MellebyJune 17, 2010Try the grasshopper tacos. I'm not even kidding. Never had them before and they were DELICIOUS. I'm a total convert.
Ed NicholsonJune 10, 2010Excellent. If you're adventurous, try the chapulines(grasshoppers) tacos. Good guac.
Zach MartellFebruary 15, 2012Their portions are small, it was Valentines day so I couldn't leave.. somewhat pricey.. it was an experience prolly wont be back.
Heather MittensJanuary 19, 2013Make a reservation if you can. We had an hour long wait. The bar was already full, and there's not much room to stand elsewhere.
James RussellNovember 2, 2010Refried beans, Steak, and Tacos were great. Try a Dos Equis Lager with your meal and a Tres Leches for dessert.
Chris KonecnyDecember 30, 2016Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up having a 2.5 hr lunch. Food quality wasn't enough to compensate for slow service- Darshan LakhaniJuly 20, 2011Service was super slow, took 30 Minutes and the special scallop didn't taste fresh. But the latter dishes like the shrimp were amazing. It's a hit or miss restaurant.

"Probably my favorite museum in DC. What makes this place so fun is that they have famous artists painting other celebrities and historical figures. Always something fun in their special exhibits."
