    Outside working the flattop hard.

    Okay so an AMAZING Mexican burrito joint was not what I was expecting to find after taking a stroll through the Eastern Market in DC. I've lived in Mexico City and grew up on the SW border so needless to say, I'm very critical about what others call "good burritos." Well, I can confirm...this are GREAT burritos! After speaking with the staff - from the Mexican State of Puebla - I went with their most popular, the #2, chorizo and egg breakfast burrito. They serve breakfast all day. It did not disappoint! Huge portion, homemade beans, good quality chorizo...I couldn't have asked for more; but I did! I accompanied it with two chiles torreados (grilled with soy/lime) and it was the perfect match for a great afternoon lunch/dinner. Don't hesitate to try, you won't be sorry.

    Excellent large breakfast burritos. We had the veggie and bacon breakfast burritos at the H street farmers market on Saturday morning. I particularly liked that there are black beans in with the eggs.

    Chorizo burrito

    Chorizo Burrito was made quickly and tasted delicious with a little bit of spice to it. Ample sauce to choose from spicy, verde and sour cream.

    BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO EVER!! came to the arlington farmer's market on Saturday just to try this place. the photo does not do it justice. it's basically an omelette with your choice of meat folded in. then it's wrapped with cheese, beans, and salsa. i sat on the curb eating this burrito like a bum. had bean juices dripping down my hands and did not have napkins. -0.1 stars for not giving napkins. there was a long line and you have to order first, pick up your order, then pay. eager to come again with my girlfriend and get my hands wet

    Carne asada quesadilla

    This is one of the BEST food stands in Eastern Market. The portions are extremely generous and delicious. All the cooks are super friendly and it's a staple of my weekend. I believe they are at eastern market (near the William Rumsey Aquatic Center) on saturdays and sundays. You have to try them out! I tell all of my visiting friends that they need to add this to their itinerary when visiting. Our go to orders are the chicken fajita bowl and carne asada rice bowl. Ventured out this one time and got the quesadilla and was not disappointed!

    Mi Vida - Carnitas Tacos with black beans and rice- DELICIOUS!

    Mi Vida is located along the Wharf, with tons of outdoor and indoor spaces…read more I went with a hungry group of 8 and started with their guac and small plates/apps. We ordered their "most popular apps" for 5 which came with tamales, croquettes, empanadas, deviled eggs, oranges, and fried pork rinds (chips?). The serving size was definitely enough for our group, so I'd only order this for an actual group of 5 if you weren't eating anything else. I had their pork tacos as an entree and tried their carne asada. Both were satisfying but neither stood out. Overall, I'd say this place is a safe place to dine - you know the service will be good and the food will be solid. I wouldn't say that their dishes stand out, but I also mainly tried their basic items.

    I really wanted to love Mi Vida because the atmosphere is beautiful and the decor is stunning. At…read morenight, it has such a lively vibe and the service has always been wonderful! I'm giving it 3 stars because the food just hasn't hit for me as much as I hoped. The first time we went, I tried the birria and tacos de pescado. I wasn't a fan of the sauce on the fish tacos, it kind of took away my appetite after a few bites. I had my boyfriend try them (he thought I was being dramatic), and he immediately agreed something was off, though his tacos were great. We went again another time and ordered 3 or 4 things, but the chicken tasted a bit old, which was disappointing. I'd still be open to trying it again in the future, but right now it sits at just okay for me. A cute place for drinks though!
