    Chimichurri steak comes with fries, and salad. Hefty meal for well under  $20
    Zaria S.

    What a chill spot, tucked in an alley in DC. Prices are affordable, and food is okay. I had the chimichurri steak, although I was surprised to notice the lack of seasoning , and that it was definitely over cooked. Hubby really enjoyed his burrito though! And, service was pleasant!

    This is one of the spots my co workers been buzzing about and finally I gave in and tried it. Ommmgggg!!!! can we say madddd flavor! The food was soooo yummy! Cooked to perfection! Almost made a tear come out the flavor was so fresh! I cheated and ordered online and just picked up my food. However I was a little upset that I paid for my chips and queso only to receive the queso without the chips. Had to go back up there while on break. And also I did not like the flavor of the queso.... But hey we can't win them all. I'll definitely be back to try other things off the menu!

    I loved the food! I ordered a Taco Salad with beef and black beans. The lady working there was very kind to us. The designs were amazing. I loved the paintings there. I would definitely go there again.

    Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall after we find out that our original dinner plans ($18 lobster from Mad Hatter -- maybe we dodged a bullet) were sold out. Couldn't be more happy with our dining experience. I had my first birria tacos & they were delicious! Pretty large portions for around 10.99 per platter. Clean interior and decent seating (though no proper seating for large groups; I came with 4 people and we had to spread out awkwardly at bar-style seating). The dude who took our orders was super friendly! Probably not the best Mexican food in DC but considering that we were wandering around hungry and lost, this saved us.

    The Well Dressed Burrito certainly excels in portion sizes. I ordered two tacos that were each filled with beef. I wish they were just as generous with their toppings and offered other sauce options, though. The taco itself was pretty bland, but you get what you pay for. For $10-15, it's fine~~ but there are definitely better places in DC.

    Dos Tacos

    Talk about a whole in the wall. My wife saw this place on Tik Tok and said we had to give them a try. Me being who I am, i obliged. We pulled up to this location only to realize it's in the middle of an alley. Definitely caught me off guard. We ordered the Dos Tacos and the Steak Chimichurri's. The food came out piping hot. I personally ordered the Steak Chimichurri's and they were absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Nicely season. The fries underneath were good too. I wish it was a larger portion but for $12 bucks I guess that's all you get. I'd probably return for the steak but everything else was ok.

    Since 1986, locals will tell you to go to a Dupont Circle alley to find a good burrito. 36 years later, it stands true. After going for lunch on a Wednesday, here's my experience: 1) Food: Posted at the entryway in the alley is a long menu of different kinds of burritos, open-face burritos, tacos and other items. Open every day of the week for lunch and dinner, there's always a daily special, making it a more affordable lunch in an expensive neighborhood. I ordered the grilled shrimp taco with mild salsa and all the fillings- lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions and peppers, etc. It was good, but I wish I had requested rice to fill in the burrito more. With a line, I only had to wait for 10-15 minutes and ordering was easy! 2) Space: It's tucked away in an alley with views of St. Matthews Cathedral. Inside is small, but they make good use of the space. There's a clear area to order and a small dining area that doubles as a waiting area. There's a bookshelf filled with old cookbooks and other items, local art on the walls and a 2014 mural by Bryan King of dancing penguins by the Dupont Circle fountain. 3) Neighborhood: Just south of Dupont Circle there are countless restaurants nearby for the lunch and dinner crowds. Public art, museums and art galleries, there's a lot to do. If you love a good deli, wander a block to Bub and Pop's.

    Well Dressed Burrito (Friday to Sunday Only)
    Shantal W.

    I looooved this spot! I'm so happy I found a great burrito spot in DC! This place is an absolute gem! I ordered the weekend burrito that has marinated pork, beans, cheese, and spicy salsa. I added guacamole inside the burrito. The spicy salsa is actually hottt! My mouth was on fire and I loved it! The guacamole was perfection. Made the flavor of the tender pork pop with every bite! The Mexican bread pudding was great as well! I do wish a few of the bits of bread were softer but I really enjoyed the cinnamon and raisin that was in it. Best end to my delicious burrito. My only complaint is my drink wasn't put in with my delivery. They missed it in the order. Not a huge deal. Didn't ruin the meal at all. Still a 5 star meal!

    Tiny little spot off an alley near DuPont Circle. The decor is really cute and there is a small amount of seating. When we went, there was one other person there. The employee at the counter told us about a few of his favorite dishes and we settled on the fish tacos. It took a LONG time for our food to come out. The fish itself was great, but the tortillas seemed really stale and the rice underneath the tacos didn't taste that great. I liked that they served the tacos on top of rice and a generous salad (it also comes with beans, which I skipped), just wish the tortillas hadn't ruined it for me. I probably should have ordered a burrito instead.

    Open-Face Burrito Shrimp & Salmon
    Alex W.

    This is becoming a solid lunch spot, and that is solidified especially with the chef's special, the salmon and shrimp open face burrito. There is so much flavor packed into the dish that I am astounded that people would choose certain other fast food restaurants when the well dressed burritos provides incredibly delicious food at an unbeatable price. The salmon and shrimp were amazing, the rice was perfect, and the honey chipotle sauce was exceptional! The service was fairly quick. Even though the restaurant was packed, I only waited about 5-7 minutes for my food. The ambiance is nice and homey, but I typically just grab my food and head back to work. Exceptional burrito from an exceptional place!

    Maybe I've been spoiled with decent Mexican food in LA and shouldn't expect much from DC, but don't call it the 'well dressed burrito' when the burrito was almost naked. The open burrito had lettuce, 'salsa', cilantro, and a few pieces of dry chicken and steak with a sauce that doesn't pair well at all. Beans?? How about a cilantro lime sauce? Shredded cheese? A slice of avocado? Disappointed because the reviews seemed decent, but it was one of the most underwhelming Mexican food experiences I've ever had. Flavors were as unappetizing as it looks in the picture.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

My girl friends enjoyed their meals as well. One ordered the same as me minus the salad and added rice and beans and the other ordered the salmon with the stuffed crab...can't remember what it was called on the menu but it also was served with broccoli and she added a side of Spanish rice and beans. The maduros were also delicious! Sitting outside was cool but the birds flying all around was kind of annoying lol next time we'll just sit inside lol.

When she first said the name, I actually thought it was a some short of shopping plaza and never would have associated it as a Mexican restaurant. I'm not sure it's history, but seems like a staple in the neighborhood as every time I drive by since that conversation with her, I notice how packed and busy it is. I recommended to my friends who were in town that we check it out and we were able to get seated outside relatively quickly for a Saturday evening. Our table started with their drinks. Half of us got the pina colada and the other half had the margarita swirl. I'd say the pina coloda was pretty good; not too strong and the ones who ordered the margarita seemed to enjoy it. We all had eaten before arriving, so we didn't order too much. They also served complimentary tortilla chips with salsa so that was pretty good and gave us something to nibble on. I ended up getting the shrimp tacos and their tortilla soup. The shrimp tacos were good, but the tortilla soup was the highlight for me. It was very flavorful, and full of vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and corn. It also had shredded chicken and cheese in it, and was so delicious. I would definitely order it again. Our server was also very friendly and regularly checked in on us. The reason for one star off is just due to the cleanliness of the cups and plates on our table. I noticed food residue still on it, and although I personally didn't use the cup or plate, I didn't care to see it on the table.
