    "Shawarma"
    Andy R.

    This is my second visit and am still let down. Average hole in the wall deli. They lost track of my order (chicken shawarma), had to ask again and never got my side order of fries. Food is nothing to write home about; misc grilled chicken chunks with pickle rounds and some spiced sauce wrapped up in a flower tortilla. I would rather wait and eat at the air port.

    G street JR'S grill

    JR Grills is located on G street right across from the Harborview apartments in a small convienence store by the Embassy Suite Hotel. I got word from a friend that they serve up some pretty good chicken Shawarmas so had to see for myself! As I enter they have plenty of dishes they offer such as all kinds of deli sandwhiches, gyros, and salads. I went ahead and ordered the Shawarma from the cashier up front and paid and was told to give it a few minutes. As I observe the cook he makes it on spot and within minutes later I was given my food. I go ahead and sit outside at one of the many tables provided by the place. The wrap looks amazing and I just wanted to dive in and smash the whole thing after I snapped my pictures. As i dig into it it wasnt what i expected and fell disapointed quickly. The chicken was a tad bit dry and it was basically a knock off version of a Cali burrito with french fries, and pickles. I ended up eating the whole thing but it was just A-OK in my end. Definetley check this place out if your looking for a fusion between Cali burritos and Mediterranean cuisine or maybe even try one of there gyros!

    Off the rip, walked by earlier and saw the place because of the Taco Tuesday sign for 2 for $7 Tacos on tuesday. So i went in today knowing it was Thursday. I was a little twisted already but I needed more food and it was Right outside my Hotel in Downtown. My experience was pretty good i ordered really smoothly the staff was friendly to me and welcoming. The gentlement behind the counter was great and speedy with my sandwhich (which i can say was pretty solid! It has a little more of a kick than u would normally expect i got a Chicken Chipotle) and it was an all around good experience. I will go back on tuesday to give them the other star!

    This is a great deli/convenience store. There is a very large outdoor seating area on a peaceful courtyard. They have a big selection of wines, liquor, snacks, candy better than 7-11. They have a great deli. The manager recommended their chicken schwarma plate which was fantastic. It was freshly made, piping hot, very large portion with rice and delicious salad. The cook Waleed made a great plate on demand. The hours are convenient, service friendly and one of the best varieties of items. Highly recommended.

    The name of this place has changed to Jr's Grill. This is a small place located in the back of Embassy Suites Hotel at the end of walkway. There is seating outside but most locals do take out. It is a grocery and small grill with a host of fresh foods. We had the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma plates and chicken shawarma bowl. Staff are busy and friendly. The food is prepared when you order so everything is fresh. I tried the creamy spicy hummus. So good! The plates and bowls were large and protein was plentiful with some tomatoes and pickles on the side. Excellent.

Super dark and I mean dark, it'll take a minute for your eyes to adjust. Tapas style menu, we were a party of 4 and ordered: Squash blossom Relleno - it's the flower part of a squash plant and stuffed with mushroom duxelles which resembles a meat mixture with squash succotash. Outside is a corn tempura with a tomato base sauce. Pulpo-grilled octopus, one of the best texture and perfectly grilled skin with a chewy yet soft interior. The sauce has a slight kick and crunch from the corn nuts. Crab corn doughnut- this is their specialty and we were about to skip out but glad we didn't. The brioche bun had a donut batter with lumps of crab salad and corn mixture on top. El Festin- perfect for our party of 4 because it was a platter full of 4 Cheese quesadilla, 4 shrimp, 4 chicken slices, 1 jalapeño bacon wrap, ribeye. Flan-we should have each ordered one ourselves! Great flavors and texture, the top had ancient chocolate soil and had crispy corn nuts. Different but yummy. Overall, delicious food that came out so quick, great ambiance, we celebrated our birthdays and were each gifted candles with our names on the label. Truly amazing from beginning to end. Street parking only. The spots on the same block are metered but if you drive down to the second street towards residential, it's free.

It's always a great place to stop before or after going to the airport because it's that close. We originally went there for an early dinner, but happened to meet the happy hour time frame (3:30-5:30). They have a wonderful array of drinks and appetizers to choose from. The most expensive being $11.00. Each appetizer is enough for two people. A man at the bar asked me if I wanted some of his guacamole dip because he could finish it all. He looked like that was his dinner meal too. I declined, since I was favoring the ceviche and chicken tinga tostadas. Both tasted delicious. I heard the bacon wrapped jalapeño were good but not gf. So I didn't try them. The views from our table were spectacular. They had many GF options listed on their menu. Our waiter, Jared, (so helpful and attentive), told me which items are more gluten sensitive and which ones were gluten free. The drinks were tasty and refreshing too. Definitely a place I'll be going back to with family and friends

First, the location and the views are simply stunning. It set the perfect backdrop for a celebratory evening. But what really elevated the vibe was the music! The playlist was so on point that I literally found myself dancing in my seat to every single song. It created such a fun, lively energy. I also have to give a massive shoutout to our waiter, who was incredibly attentive, warm, and anticipated our every need. The entire staff went above and beyond to make my husband feel so wonderfully celebrated. From a sweet little "Happy Birthday" sign to a surprise dessert at the end of the meal, every detail was thoughtful and perfectly executed. This place is truly incredible. We will absolutely be back!

Comes in a personal sized cup and can be shared as a group or as part of your entree. -Grilled Octopus/Pulpo Taco: I'm always a little hesitant about grilled octopus because it's hard to prepare and can end up being really chewy. It was grilled perfectly here! The chunks were big enough so you get the squid flavor. It also comes with a sweet/spicy sauce which was unexpected but really yummy. -Battered Fish Taco: my favorite dish! Huge flaky piece of fish that's fried really well. Not too much rough and you can really taste the fish. -Chips and Guac: fresh made guac! Get it as a side order and you can add to your tacos too. It can get really busy here. Our food took longer than expected and you have to wait around for a table too. Parking lot can be a hit or miss. Try to come during off hours!

We left right away to pick up the food and sure enough it was ready waiting for our arrival. One quick drive back home to dig in and the aroma was so enticing. California Burritos is very apt for their name, my bf rates it a 10/10. As a California Burrito connoisseur, he liked the addition of sour cream in it and said the flavors were delicious. He topped it with their green salsa for a little bit of a freshness to cut through the richness and fattiness of the meat and fries in the burrito. He didn't care for the fish taco that much and rated it a 4/10 but said the restaurant overall was a 10/10, as he thought there was too much lettuce and tomato throwing off the ratio of the taco. I, on the other hand, am a huge fan of veggies and liked the ample amount they provided. ---- There's a couple benches outside in front of the shop and seating at booth tables inside as well. It's a bit smaller to sit inside, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the fresh air and the sunset is beautiful. ---- Overall: if you're in the mood for California Burritos come to the place rightly named California Burritos!
