Honestly this place was great. We sat at the bar during happy hour (3-7) and the bartender was great. We got the passion fruit margaritas (added spice) and it was delicious. For food I got the crispy shrimp but grilled. 10/10 highly recommend. Chips and queso was also really good. I will definitely be back.

All I will say is my shrimp quesadilla had pineapples in it...and I loved it. I've been here twice after Washington Spirit games. It is the perfect Taco spot in Navy Yard. I've had the fajitas, quest and fish tacos here. My only complaint is I enjoy being able to mix up my combo of tacos and they hold you true to whichever you order. I also had their spicy margarita and it was the right combo of spice and sweet. What I also noticed is the music here. It was giving the. Best of the 2010 and I love a slight throwback vibe. Last thing to try was the rice and smoke black beans. Chefs kiss.

This is a hidden gem that I never knew existed. Right in the center of navy yard, close to the metro and next to circa. I love the dark decor with of a pop of color throughout. We had drinks at the bar and the service was good. There is a variety of food options, especially my favorite..hearing the sizzling sound of fajitas. Try it out. They have a HH, although we missed it. We will be returning.

Went during happy hour with my friends after work. Our server was AMAZING...so mad I can't remember her name. She was as attentive as can be. From the margaritas to the tacos, everything was delicious and wonderfully tasty. The chips and queso hit the spot. I was next able to mix and match tacos which included carne asada, carnitas and the el guero supreme. I think I found a new favorite tex mex spot in DC. El Bebe was everything I needed.

Dropped in for a quick dinner and I was throughly impressed by this spot. It was Taco Tuesday and 7pm so we just missed happy hour and it was very packed. Our wait was about 10-15 minutes, I didn't like that the entrance/exit was very tight with no guest seating if you are waiting. The patio isn't the best to sit at so I wouldn't recommend anyone to sit out there. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I am very particular on my Mexican food and they passed my tastebuds test. The food was fresh and packed with flavor. We got the 8 ounce frozen margarita, but they offer a bigger sized option also. I've never seen or had Blackberry flavor so we got that mixed with mango. It was really good, and reminded me of Sangria . It was really lively inside with up best music and laughter/conversation throughout the restaurant. Our bill was almost $100, we spent more than we planned to but with the service charge and DC tax the cost was raised a bit. The manager dropped by to check on us, which was nice. I will most definitely come back here!

We stopped at El Bebe before seeing a concert to fuel up before standing for hours. The ambience is nice and there is ample indoor and outdoor seating! We were seated quickly and our server was helpful and made several recommendations. We ordered the elote dip, and I had the chopped salad with shrimp while my brother, a vegetarian, decided on the cheese enchiladas. Overall the food was fresh and tasty, with the consensus that it seemed a little under seasoned. Although the pricing is a little on the expensive side, I think it's consistent with the area and I would also say the portions are good!

Went here for happy hour the other day. Love the ambiance and the outdoor seating option. The server was very attentive although at times I wish he would relax a bit. The happy hour wasn't too happy. It's very limited options. And perhaps I'm spoiled but I'm used to chips and salsa being free but here it's included on the hh menu. I got chips and guac which wasn't on the hh menu. They had $2 off margaritas; I got a large one for $15. A regular drink price to me but it was good. I also ordered fish (mahi) tacos. Those were delicious. I was pleased with the food and drinks but I just wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for hh deals.

Now my favorite restaurant in the Yards. This place never disappoints. If you want Mexican food, come here. Skip all of the other places. Don't waste your time or money. The food is always consistently excellent and staff is always friendly. Whether you sit at the bar or at the tables, service is impeccable. Okay, now for some food options. The chicken fajitas are so good. If you ever cooked white meat chicken, you know how challenging it can be to get the seasoning and texture right. At El Bebe they got it right. The rice and refried beans are delicious, the guacamole and queso dip is divine. The chips that they serve them with are seasoned with something that I can't even identify lol. And lastly, my favorite menu option are the Birria Tacos . Man they're so good. If you're looking for cool and charming spot to eat while visiting the Yards, DO NOT overlook El Bebe.

Came here after a baseball game about an hour before they closed. They openly accepted us coming in although they closed within the hour. Service was decent. It seems like a newer restaurant with awesome art on the walls. I'd reccomend this for a date night. They have a unique spin on food but it doesn't taste bad. Ordered the Carne asada tacos and the burrito bowl. The smoked beans were amazing!!

The restaurant is very inconspicuous lol. It says M st, but the entrance we found is actually on First st. Look for the green sign and the yellow door. By the time we got there, the patio seating was closed, but it is usually available. The lighting inside was moody and darker, which worked. The ambiance was nice and relaxed, decorated with beautiful artwork. They have a decent selection at the bar. Our waitress was nice. It also wasn't busy, so it was easy to take care of us. I had the passion fruit margarita and it was on point! I also ordered the carne asada tacos and they did not disappoint! The smoked black beans are a MUST. We'll definitely be back for happy hour soon!
