Visited here multiple times during my stay in DC. The food is excellent - everything has some spice to it so be prepared. The salmon is perfectly cooked. The birria is amazing and prepared in a very unique, almost stew-like way. The flavors are excellent. And my go-to favorite was their mezcal margarita.

The food was great. Everything we had was excellent. You can save some money on margaritas by getting pictures if you have a large group. Service was a little bit slow at first, but it picked up. I really like the atmosphere in this place. The lighting is very cool. The decor is very cool. It has a kind of trendy vibe yet with a nod to traditional Mexican art.
