I was craving nachos so badly I was willing to walk 2 miles by myself with a disability to eat some at this restaurant. At first glance I was disappointed when I saw the nachos were served with yellow cheese instead of white. However! The service and quality of my food absolutely blew me away. I was seated right away in a spotlessly clean and comfortable dining room. My waitress, Suzanne (Susanna?) was exceptionally attentive and personable as well as a man whose name I did not get but he may be the manager. The chicken tasted a lot like Chipotle’s chicken (which I love) and the toppings were very fresh. Also, everything came out really fast. Overall, this was definitely worth the journey and now I’m in a food coma.

Not the best Mexican food, but it's decent. The bartender was great. It is a great place to watch the steelers games.

We live in Waldorf but work in DC and stopped in for drinks—came for that, but we’ll be back for the GUACAMOLE!!! The place has been totally revamped, and it’s all for the better: drinks, menu, vibe. We had the Lady in the Streets and a rum punch (both worth a round two), plus guac to start—which I’m still dreaming about—and shrimp and chicken tacos. With my dairy allergy, they added extra guac, and I was in heaven. Bonus points: they offer brunch and salsa lessons. To top it off, the service was excellent—our bartender was attentive and made us feel so welcome. Can’t wait to come back!
