    Went on a Saturday night at 5:30. Made reservations. They sat our party of four down promptly when we arrived. Great ambiance. Wait staff not the happiest bunch. Not rude at all, but not many smiles. We ordered Chile relleno, tacos, fajitas and a fish dish, three drinks, two cokes and chips with guac=$200 with good tip included. Pretty good tasting, but not great for the price charged. Tacos- three: mushroom, asado and fish. Asado tough, fish mushy, mushroom ok, but all somehow smaller than a street taco. Margaritas are $12 served in a small glass filled with ice so 6 sips and all gone. I will stick to my local taco truck Don Perez so probably won’t return to MXDC.

    Me and my family came to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms and we had to stop by MXDC !! The host was super friendly and flexible to seat us even though the restaurant was full. Our server was very accommodating to all our requests and vegan options. The branzino was absolutely delicious and the pollo enchiladas as well!! Great service, delicious food, and the ambiance was incredible!! We’ll definitely stop by again on our next visit to DC!!

    It would be nice to have more plant based options. Most other mexican restaurants do. Why not have Hongos for a burrito or bowl and not just tacos?

    Unlike all other Mexican restaurants no chips or salsa was served. My wife had a branzino dish which was rave worthy. My fajitas were good, as well as the rice and black beans. Much more than the 4 shells supplied with the meal could support. I ordered chicken, beef, and shrimp. The meal was 80% chicken.

    Got the carne asada medium rare whcih was outstanding, guacamole could had been better if prepared tableside and a bit small for the price, but otherwise was good. The 4 quesos cheese melt was delicious and the attention from the staff was so good that reminds you of a real Mexico City restaurant.

    MXDC is a well oiled machine. We had an early reservation, and although the restaurant was already busy, we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was efficient and attentive. The food itself was excellent, all of it. Portion size was reasonable (i.e. plates were not overloaded). In spite of being very crowded, we observed several tables turning over, being immediately cleared and reseated. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. We will definitely go back on our next trip to DC.

    This restaurant was recommended by some close friends from their last visit to DC and it didn't disappoint. We had good expectations as we have had a lot of mexican food in Cali so were delighted to find a good spot during out trip. Great flavors throughout their whole menu and tasty and fresh margaritas. The ambiance is very nice and fancy but they also have a casual dress code. Friendly staff!!

    Awesome margaritas and food!! We went there late at night to grab margaritas since we were told they have some of the best in the city. They didn't disappoint. We had a few margaritas each trying out the different flavors. The blackberry and strawberry ones were very good and on point. We only had the lobster guac as our appetizers and it was so good!! We will be coming back for dinner soon!

    I attended MXDC do dinner with my girlfriend and some friends and we received excellent service from our host they were flexible with our early arrival and waiting for additional guests once we were all seated ordering and water / drinks went well and the drink was very flavorful. When the food came out two dishes were in the wrong place and we began to eat it as they were both enchiladas just chicken vs beef. So that was awkward switching plates after one bite. From there closing out went fine it was a fair drive for 4 individuals with drinks. The price was perfect for the value. I did not enjoy my enchiladas I felt they were a bit dry.

    Lovely evening with great food and cocktails. We let the manager know that we were attending a theater showing nearby and that we had a limited window for dinner. The manager and server took great care of us making sure everything was going well and also checking the time for us. They were extremely busy but they still managed to take of us within our timeframe. Fidel and Tony were great!!

    Second visit and everything was phenomenal like the first time. Service is consistent and the waitstaff are very friendly and helpful. The manager was also very kind and he provided us with great suggestions. The roasted chicken with the honey glaze was so good :) Their Habanero Margaritas were amazing and they suggested that we should add mango to it, we did and it was even better. They also have lots of glutten-free options which is a major plus!!

    Amazing Mexican restaurant with great atmosphere and vibes. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The food is very good. Portions are a bit on the smaller side but the flavors are great. The cocktails are great too and they have many with mezcal, which is my favorite. Overall, a great experience and will keep coming back!!
