It was easy to order here, you just ask a bartender. The wait for my food was not very long and it tasted great, plenty of steak for the price. Cool art and lighting, more of a night club atmosphere than a typical cafe.

It's ok. Doesn't compare to Cali Mexican food but also not familiar with this area so to other people might be good. I got the nachos w carne asada (which was dry/overcooked). It's in a hotel which I'm sure is convenient. Didn't have much interaction w the staff. You order at the bar and they deliver to your table.

I love visiting DC and exploring as much of the city as possible. I can honestly say that each visit is never the same from the various activities, events, museums, shops, restaurants, and so much more. I love exploring the Locals and all they have to offer, such as Hoja Taqueria, a traditional Mexican restaurant. For starters, the decor is unique and creates a great atmosphere and vibe. Next up, the drinks and food are delicious from the pineapple colada, street corn, and the chopped salad with chicken. Lastly, the service was not like most restaurants, in where you seat yourself, place order at the bar, and served by the one server covering all tables. Luckily, the wait was minimal for the food to arrive at the table, which is plus considering the late night crowd.

We love the food here!!!! The shrimp cerviche is amazing!!! Our waitress was very attentive and recommended the delicious chicken tacos as a starter which was delicious and on sale at 5 for $7. The ambiance leans into the Latin theme and has a playful rainforest decor. We will be back for sure!!!!

This was a HUGE surprise... such a hidden gem. Literally the best Mexican food I've had in dc - it should be it's own free standing restaurant because I never would have gone in to try it if I weren't staying at the hostel. They use Oaxaca cheese - SO yummy. The ceviche was INCREDIBLE! And a fun little vibe with little photo ops. It was empty when we were there and seems like people don't know how tasty this place is but I would totally go back and highly recommend for the food! I wasn't super impressed with the drinks but they were cute! I came here in September and have been thinking about it a lot haha! Finally doing the review because this place is so good!

I have nothing bad to say about this place. I was in DC for a conference and my colleagues and I came here for lunch. Very cool interior with cool spots for pictures throughout. We had tacos and burritos. My chicken burrito was the best I've ever had. I appreciated that each meal had its own chips and salsa (and not communal baskets and bowls). The pricing is reasonable. All other sides like rice and beans are a la carte. Super friendly staff and fast kitchen have made this to my "must visit again" list.

Really wanted to like this place. Came for a music event and loved the ambience and decor. However, I ordered a cocktail that specifically has blanco tequila in it. After taking a sip, it was clear there was not blanco... but mezcal tequila. When I asked the male bartender (wish i knew his name so you can avoid him) was there mezcal in it, he says yes I added it. Not sure what bar allows their bartenders to freestyle on a cocktail without permission from the customer. It was strange to say the least. He made me a new one but it was watered down and came with an attitude. Please avoid and go places where the staff is honest and accommodating.

Good evening, to start with service was really great, sat on the bar and this beautiful young woman named Vanessa exceeded my expectations, however, I cannot stay the same about the food, I do not know if something changed and kitchen staff food I always wait it, with the same energy as always, but this time was disappointed, I cannot comprehend the situation but it's not the same.
