Cinco Soles

We came here for our monthly family dinner night. We wanted to try a new spot. Ambiance - Cute. Really liked the seafood art in the walls. And the smell when you first walked in was incredible. We knew we were going to eat well. Food/Drinks - Hubby and I really enjoyed our drinks. I got La dama. He got the mango mojito. And my daughter also liked her strawberry lemonade. My favorite thing was the corn salad, but it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good!Service - 10/10. Everyone was so attentive and they made sure I got good footage for my blog. They kept our glasses full as well. Overall, try this place out! The flavors and customer service are truly amazing. They're going to need a bigger location soon!

Woe! What a lovely experience. Good food. Quick service. Lovely ambiance. My friend and I came here to check it out as first times. We arrived around 6:30 and it was pretty slow inside. We were greeted promptly and then sat. The menu has a lot of different options and things thay I hadn't heard of before. I decided to go with the Marisco Enchiladas and OMG these were the best enchiladas that I've had in DC. They were rich and cream, yum. I will definitely be coming back here and having these enchiladas. They were gluten free even though it had a cream sauce. The only feedback ill give is that there is not good labeling of what is gluten free and our server had to asl the back, but I didn't have an issue. When they fix that issue, it'll be 5 stars for sure!

Came to Cinco Soles for dinner with a friend in a Tuesday and had a great time! We had a reservation for 6:30pm but the restaurant was fairly empty. It would be easy to grab a table with no reservation and there is some outdoor seating too.Our waitress Kimberland, was awesome! She was super sweet, so professional, and super friendly and attentive. Our water glasses were always full and she checked on us often and made it a great dining experience.To drink I had la campana which is a spicy margarita -- perfectly balanced sweet and spicy, it was great!To eat I had their ceviche mixto which was delicious and a good portion. I had the ceviche as my meal but would recommend getting more food with it since it's technically an appetizer.For dessert I had the tres leches cake. A little on the denser side but still really tasty and decadent.The atmosphere was super casual and quiet so it was easy to catch up with a friend.Definitely plan to return and am excited to try more on their menu.

Food- each dish we had was pretty tasty. We opted for many appetizers instead of tacos or an entree so we could try more dishes. I liked mix of the Mexican rice, corn, and cactus. And the guacamole and mahi tostado were a nice compliment as well. Service-Fatima was friendly and attentive. She also paid very close attention to my food allergy. Vibes-The restaurant has a nice decor, good seating options and full bar. Kind empty but hopefully that changes for them soon. Happy Hour- They have a great happy hour special-2/3 tacos and a cocktail for $20. Will definitely be checking that out next time.

A fantastic little Mexican restaurant tucked away in Columbia Heights! This is defiantly an up and coming new local favorite. Immerse yourself in the modern boho Mexican atmosphere and full service bar. This is an ideal spot for lunch and dinner, casual but elevated, perfect for a date night or celebration. They have all the tastes of Mexico and well crafted cocktails, Call ahead for reservations or pop in for a quick table/bar seat. We had fantastic service and can't wait for a return visit!

I have walked by this place a few times and it was time to check it out with a friend. It was empty and we were the first customers for the night. They have ample outdoor and indoor seating. A back deck I heard. They don't have happy hour on Thursdays, only Monday and Wednesday I believe. Extending that would bring more people in the house because neighboring restaurants have specials. We were warmly greeted by the bartend/manager. The service was great but it was empty. The food was good. I had nothing bad but nothing really stood out as outstanding yet. The cochinita was good. Like a mom would make. Guac good. Everything was good. I think they have to find their niche here because there are a lot of similar places with good food and a little less expensive.

Food was great. Service was the best. And a beautiful warm ambiance. I will definitely be back.

Anytime I go out to Mexican restaurants I'm always dissatisfied with the food because I'm used to eating Mexican food my mom makes every day and they never compare to hers BUT this place was amazinggg I'd definitely return it's a 10/10 for me. All of the plates we got were really flavorful, even the drinks we got were delicious. It felt like I was eating in Guadalajara, Mexico loved so much. I am only gonna give 4 stars only because the service we got once we entered was iffy and then we ended up getting a different waitress and she was really sweet, they were really attentive as well although we did reserve once they opened so that could've been why. Definitely would recommend

The service was mediocre, I asked if they had sparkling water and the waitress said they only had tonic water. On the menu there was sparkling water, mineral water and still water. In addition, our margaritas never came so we ordered the check early and didn't order entree. Another server came to pick up our check without apologizing or picking up any plates or menus. With reason, we were the only ones in the restaurant on a Sunday at 3:30.

The food here is outstanding. 11th street is a great location and the service is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
