    burrito bowl and tortilla chips
    Annabelle P.

    Pretty decent food (i really wasn't feeling going out after a long day). Service was fast and friendly. The vibes are pretty chill for a hotel restaurant. Overall pretty good.

    It was easy to order here, you just ask a bartender. The wait for my food was not very long and it tasted great, plenty of steak for the price. Cool art and lighting, more of a night club atmosphere than a typical cafe.

    I love visiting DC and exploring as much of the city as possible. I can honestly say that each visit is never the same from the various activities, events, museums, shops, restaurants, and so much more. I love exploring the Locals and all they have to offer, such as Hoja Taqueria, a traditional Mexican restaurant. For starters, the decor is unique and creates a great atmosphere and vibe. Next up, the drinks and food are delicious from the pineapple colada, street corn, and the chopped salad with chicken. Lastly, the service was not like most restaurants, in where you seat yourself, place order at the bar, and served by the one server covering all tables. Luckily, the wait was minimal for the food to arrive at the table, which is plus considering the late night crowd.

    This was a HUGE surprise... such a hidden gem. Literally the best Mexican food I've had in dc - it should be it's own free standing restaurant because I never would have gone in to try it if I weren't staying at the hostel. They use Oaxaca cheese - SO yummy. The ceviche was INCREDIBLE! And a fun little vibe with little photo ops. It was empty when we were there and seems like people don't know how tasty this place is but I would totally go back and highly recommend for the food! I wasn't super impressed with the drinks but they were cute! I came here in September and have been thinking about it a lot haha! Finally doing the review because this place is so good!

    I have nothing bad to say about this place. I was in DC for a conference and my colleagues and I came here for lunch. Very cool interior with cool spots for pictures throughout. We had tacos and burritos. My chicken burrito was the best I've ever had. I appreciated that each meal had its own chips and salsa (and not communal baskets and bowls). The pricing is reasonable. All other sides like rice and beans are a la carte. Super friendly staff and fast kitchen have made this to my "must visit again" list.

    Shrimp Ceviche

    We love the food here!!!! The shrimp cerviche is amazing!!! Our waitress was very attentive and recommended the delicious chicken tacos as a starter which was delicious and on sale at 5 for $7. The ambiance leans into the Latin theme and has a playful rainforest decor. We will be back for sure!!!!

    Chips

    My 2nd visit to Hoja. A must to order chips (salsa , guacamole and habanero) and Tuna tostada . As always , Consita and Jessica gave me a pleasant service.

    One of the best new spots I've tried this year. On weekends, a reservation will be a must, as they…read moreare small and get packed, but for good reason. It's a sexy basement vinyl den with additional outdoor seating, 10/10 unique cocktails, and incredible Japanese inspired small plates. Between two visits, we have tried 6 different drinks. They are named after songs and listed on the back of a fake vinyl cover. Each costs around $20, but with the mandatory tip and tax, it comes to around $26-28 per drink. The since I left you, though, is worth every penny. It is similar to an old fashioned but a little sweeter, with bourbon (makers mark), and while the menu says it also has miso, blackberry, cardamom, and cacao, I wouldn't say those flavors come through. But it is one of the best cocktails being served in DC right now. It is so good. They serve it with a cardamom tuile that is delicious as well. There is a lot of variety on here, but my number 2 is the Roses, a bright red gin based drink with a hint of fruitiness and a spicy kick in the back end. If you want something a little sweeter, the Takeover is a cognac based drink with coffee notes served with a mini donut. The food is exceptionally well seasoned and so flavorful. The fried chicken cannot be missed, and I love that you can get it in half or full size portions. The shrimp tempura might be even better. You get four large pieces that are super crisp and have a little orange sauce on them. Amazing. Our second visit we tried their chips and dip, and these potato chips alone are worth a visit. Large, crunchy, and served with a tasty ranch dip. I think 2 dishes is good for two people to fill you up, but add a third if hungry. The place is quite expensive, but they are worth it. For a date night, they are a great choice. Four drinks and three dishes shared between two people came to around $195, but as of this review, they are offering a $30 off deal if you pay through the app In Kind. Bonus points because the first time we came, they seated us maybe 5 minutes after our reservation time, and they gave us a free glass of cava. Top notch customer service right there

This bar is sweet -- awesome music, a neat menu, truly craft cocktails, and a unique menu. We tried several cocktails and each was delicious - from spicy to sweet, they don't miss. We also tried the cheese burger egg rolls and the tuna hand roll. The food is expensive for what you get but it's advertised to be small bites, not a meal. The egg rolls felt like remixed in n out, and as a Californian, I was grateful. Why not 5 stars? With the premium pricetag, I do expect premium service. The bartender was more interested in chatting with some folks he knew who came to sit at the bar. He also spent a lot of time chatting up the couple next to us, so do sit at the bar if you're feeling social. However, for the spare attention he did provide us, he was a bit condescending when we asked for a different glass for a drink that came in a bowl. It was slow until the very end of our stay and yet there were several times where I had an empty glass for a long period (and wanted to order more) or needed water. FYI for 6 drinks and a few bar bites it was $165... we went for a cheap burger dinner afterwards!

I know reservations are probably highly recommended, but we were fortunate to walk in at just the right moment and snag a seat. The seating is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is just my style, an elegant, dark, grown and sexy vibe that really sets the mood. The decor is striking, with thoughtful touches that create an inviting space to unwind. While it leans a bit on the pricier side, the exceptional service more than justifies the cost. Jordan and the team were incredibly knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu, offering suggestions that perfectly matched our tastes. We tried two standout drinks that I can't recommend enough: the Attractive Nuisance and El Tiburon, (which is an Old Fashioned made with gin). The bartenders here clearly know what they're doing, each drink was crafted with care and precision. The good music in the background added to the overall ambiance, making it a delightful spot to spend an evening.
