But the showstopper was that queso. Generally I am a pure queso Blanco fanatic. I find queso made with something closer to cheddar cheese then made worse with bad salsa to be vastly inferior. This quedo, however, was fantastic. It had the right blend of cheese, with a bit of jalapeños. You know it's excellent because that top layer starts to solidify so you need to stir it up. The chips were plenty and kept coming. The service was great. Nice atmosphere, beautiful painting on the wall of a man harvesting agave. This might be my favorite place on 23rd St.

Thank you Que Rico for a meal reminiscent of my childhood Sunday dinners!

Pretty good food if you have a craving for Puerto Rican food…read more The Pastelillos were delish. I ordered a ground beef and a chicken with cheese. They were crispy, good amount of filling and nice flavor overall. Fantastic. I think they should serve the meal with a bit more rice. The Pernil, pulled pork was sort of dry and unfortunately the large side of garilc mojo sauce (garlic oil) was sideways in the bag and by time I got it home, the oil had all leaked out into the paper bag and onto the floor mat inside my car. The mofongo bites listed as 5 bites, however I only received 4. They were on the sweet side. The masa from the plantain taste too ripe for my liking. I prefer more green plantains in my mofongo. The tostones were pretty good. The pictures made them look a bit larger, but oh well. This was my first time ordering from a ghost kitchen, and the concept is a brilliant idea because you can order from so many cuisines! You can try so many restaurants in one place. Quite amazing.

We were in the area for the Marine Corps Marathon and stopped in to Social Hour for brunch and were…read morevery pleasantly surprised. There was no wait to be seated at around 11 am (which was surprising), and the service was incredibly quick and accurate. I loved my crab cake eggs Benedict (it was the best I had the entire weekend, and I had several...) and we ordered a Belgian waffle for the table to split which was so soft and fresh with the perfect side of whipped cream and fruit compote. Also bonus points for the juices on the menu being freshly squeezed! Beautiful bar inside, comfortable seating, they even had soccer games on the tvs. Would go back!

The seafood rice was excellent: well-balanced seasoning, properly cooked seafood, and rice with the ideal texture, showing solid technique and attention to detail. The chicha morada tasted natural and well-spiced, not overly sweet, exactly how it should be. For dessert, the flan stood out for its smooth texture and controlled sweetness, far from anything industrial. Attentive service and a comfortable atmosphere complete the experience. This is a restaurant that understands Peruvian cuisine and executes it correctly. Highly recommended.

Despite the madness, the food came out surprisingly fast and everything was delicious. The gin cocktails were incredible -- honestly better than drinks we've had at some really great cocktail bars. We ordered a huge variety of appetizers and entrees, and everyone found something they loved. I ordered the Shanghai soup dumplings and the bento box, and OMG... I'm still thinking about that bento box. It came with the best sampler of appetizers plus a mochi dessert at the end. Such a fun and delicious experience, and I highly recommend ordering it. They seated our large group in a semi-private room, which made the night even better. Parking is street parking only, but it's conveniently close to several hotels. Definitely a spot we'd come back to with a group!

El Pulgacito is a small cozy spot this sits in the El Salvador settled neighborhood called "Chirilagua," after the city in El Salvador of the same name. Known for its authenticity you can't go wrong for some great Central American cuisine. The pupusa portions are massive compared to other places, if I'm hungry I can only eat two. You have been warned going on thinking you can knock down four lol. My favorites are the steak and pork. Their curtido is the best I've had as well that comes with the pupusas, and it's slightly mixed with warm salsa and it's just so good. My go to drink is the Tamarindo, I'm not sure if they make it in house, but it seems as if they do. If you are into tamarind drinks and flavor, it's a go to for sure. I just call it the Central American sweet tea lol. The only other dishes I've tried were the Lomo Saltado and the enchilada, although they were ok, I personally wouldn't get them again based on the taste, portion, and price point of the pupusas. The service is always nice and attentive. You can't go wrong here if you are in the area be sure to grab you a pupusa.

Anyway, we were hungry, so we decided to walk down. I ordered the Salmon. The waitress said, how would I like to have it cook? I was surprised and turned my head looking at her. I have never had someone ask me how would I like to cook my fish, rather maybe steaks every time. We also ordered a bottle of rose`. She brought the rose` and the ice bucket but no ice. My husband said that out loud, "there is no ice", so I waved at her after she disappeared for 10-15 minutes. So I asked her, she told me because the wine was cold. I said, "usually once the rose` is open, it should sit on ice". She tried to agrue with me it was because the rose` was already cold. I just stopped saying any more. She came back with the rose` on ice in the bucket, saying, " is it how you like it? " with an attitude that I was wrong. I took a deep breath and just swallowed what she said. The food came and food were almost excellent, or we were just hungry. You never know. We even ordered desserts and expresso. It was good until waitress was no where found for another 15-20 minutes. We were expected our ticket, so we could go back up and rest our feet. She disappeared again. Mann... I don't know what to say to you. Food is good, can be better, but service no good. Sorry.

We've…read morehad the carne asada, chicharrón, pork belly, fried chicken, and of course the potato wedges -- and when I say everything is delicious, I truly mean it. I honestly don't think you could order something here that wouldn't be amazing. The first time we tried it, we literally came back later that same day for more. Since then, we've mixed and matched different combinations, but if you want the best bang for your buck, the $15 lunch special is the move. It comes with pork belly, carne asada, rice, potato wedges, tortillas, and a soda -- and it's customizable. Such a steal for the quality and quantity you get. The staff is always friendly and efficient, which makes the experience even better. And no matter what you order, don't forget the green sauce. I put it on everything. If I could give them endless stars, I would. Already counting down until the next visit.

Parking definitely could be tight as we were there early afternoon and it was 1/2 full and not easy to maneuver in a larger SUV. The Staff were super friendly, and helpful. Menu is pretty easy to read, has combo options and price is pretty nice for the area. We went with (4) piece Chicken Combo which came with potatoe wedges (no drink). Wife said under $12 (she paid). No dining area so sampled potoatoe wedges in the car, they were so good, wife went back in and ordered more wedges. The Wedges were that good, not sure why, but they were. Wife likes them crisper so air fried some at home. I loved them from the start & with additional air-frying. The Chicken was juicy and nicely fried, not the best I ever had, but pretty damn good. The chicken paired with potatoe wedges will definitely bring us back.

The space is airy, filled with light and felt modern and beautifully designed. Decided to do the Endless Table Essentials Tier ($44/guest) with some drinks (+$1 each). I felt like the food in this tier was pretty good value - highlights were the xiao chi platter, the char siu specials (perfect char), pork wuharou, and little pot mixian noodle. The food came out a little bit slow despite the restaurant not being full, which contributed to us eating less than I expected to during the 90 min res. But, for AYCE the food quality definitely beat my expectations. Would skip the crispy garlic rice as it was pretty plain and the souffle pancake (honestly more sponge cake than souffle?). I've heard the Braised Beef Lu is good so I'd come back to try that next time. If you're looking for a modern asian brunch/lunch spot, definitely recommend checking out this restaurant!
