Mexicue - Washington DC

It was good overall. I thought the starters were the highlight. It really unique and things I haven’t seen elsewhere. Like grilled corn bread. We only got two tacos because they were like nine dollars each. Lol. But overall a good experience in a cosy interior.

Had grilled cornbread, Mexican jambalaya, and plant-based nachos. All three were excellent!!! Not crowded on a Sunday at 2. Service was also good.

Saw this on Instagram and wanted to come here with my fiancé for date night. The location and atmosphere of this place is great, but the food could use some work. We ordered two appetizers. The chips and guac were bland. The nachos with chicken were pretty good. For tacos I ordered the jumbo shrimp, crispy fish and Nashville hot chicken. The Nashville hot chicken was not spicy and had no flavor. In fact it was over crispy and bland. Jumbo shrimp was okay and crispy shrimp was a little too salty. My fiancé also ordered the Nashville hot chicken, ends brisket and lobster tacos. He agreed the Nashville hot chicken was a fail but he was pleased with the ends brisket and the lobster as they were sufficient enough in flavor and both were juicy. The nachos saved it all for us. Overall, the place is alright but if you’re comparing this to Bar Taco. You’re better off going there and skipping this place.

A solid neighbhood joint with pretty good food. I tried the seasonal guacamole tonight which contained bacon and grilled pineapple. Not bad! Guac could use a little salt though. The shrimp and crispy fish tacos were good, too. The spicy margarita wasn’t too spicy. For those complaining that this isn’t “authentic” Mexican food, I feel like you need to reset your expectations about Mexican food in DC in general. This is a fun place with good food. The service is nice enough though a little slow at times. The food came out all at once so that was annoying.

Big portion sizes, food was yum. The fish stayed crispy throughout and didn't get soggy from all the sauces. Wouldn't call it authentic, but not bad.
