Mexican
Brunch & Dinner
In the best area of 14th Street, modern homage to authentic Mexican Cuisine, featuring local ingredients that result in exquisite and vibrant creations.

It´s all about the corn - the maiz - at this upscale Mexican stunner from chef Alam Méndez of México City´s acclaimed Pasillo de Humo. Four kinds are turned into fresh masa daily for the tacos, tamales, and other corn-bassed essentials, and even the art on the walls is corn-themed.

Vegetables and fish are one of the Chef's great specialties, including tuna tostada and yellow ceviche, culminating with the traditional catch of the day.

Mezcal Room an extensive bar downstairs, we have a lot of Mexican spirits, including most famous Oaxacan beverage mezcal. There’s a wide spectrum of mezcals, with dozens of flavors ranging

We are a universe of colors, of textures, of flavors; the print of hands worn down legends that draw the magic of a culture willing to be discovered.

    One of the best authentic Mexican cuisine restaurants I’ve been to. Natalia was an AMAZING server, and Victor (the manager) gave us a great experience. We will be back. Thank you for a great experience.

    One word, HOT! Like, no A/C hot on the hottest day of the week. The food was partially good. Stick to the tacos, they're tiny but good. The Delmonico steak was a complete fail. Besides coming out after my date finished her tacos, the meat was tough. Never coming back. My date and I couldn't wait to get out of there and get into the Shake & Custard place down the street. Maybe on a different day, under different conditions and another main course, I would've actually liked it.

    I’m from México and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants that DC have. They got the Chile en nogada! And that’s just a seasonal plate in my country, but they have and it was really good! I wasn’t expecting that kind of good food and drinks. Definitely we god a good time and I’ll go back for sure!

    We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The servers were well informed about what was on the menu and gave us great recommendations. The food was absolutely out of this world! Super flavorful! Not only were servers great but the entire staff was attentive and helpful . We had somebody ( a manager maybe) at the door saying goodbye to us as we left ; he gave us a little Sweet role as part of a way to introduce their brunch menu to us. We loved our experience and we will be back for more( brunch maybe ).Thank you!

    We had a good experience. It was very sweet of them to offer complimentary champagne as it was our anniversary. Food and service was very good. My only critique would be that before choosing the restaurant we had checked the menu on the website and it was pretty large and had lots more vegetarian options. When we went there we were disappointed to see a very small and different menu. Please mention or update your website as it misleads the diners. Although the staff was very helpful in suggesting and making veg options for us and we enjoyed them too.

    This was I one of the finest meals of Mexican cuisine I have ever had. I would actually say one of the top 5 best meals ever. (And I’m blessed to be able to eat all over the world for my job). From the corn tamale with goat cheese sauce, to their take on tuna ceviche to al pastor tacos and grilled fish with Mexican chili’s to broccoli tacos with mole, then to the crazy amazing banana tamale dessert and churros….it was outstanding. The drinks were equally as creative, with Mezcal espresso martinis and a Mezcal drink with eggwhites and chili rim that tasted different on each side, (like two drinks in one.) It was a dinner and experience I will be talking about for a long time. Seriously outstanding!!
