Consistently great Mexican cuisine — guacamole made tableside is a plus, too. Service is consistently good, and this visit was no exception.

If you like Mexican food dishes, this is the place to go. The Comi-con event was in town the evening we went, the restaurant was pretty full of customers, and the servers were very busy. However, our service was excellent. Our server was patient with us, explaining the menu (we had the Valentine's Day special), and the meal was served at a very comfortable pace. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. We had "take home" leftovers, enough for another meal. It was mostly full of people while we were there and the tables are fairly close together, but the noise level was acceptable. My wife and I could talk without having to raise our voices. This was our first visit there but it won't be our last. Like everything else at National Harbor, it was a bit pricey, but on a "you get what you pay for" scale, we got our money's worth. I would recommend this location for a date night, anniversary or other special occasions.

The service, experience, location, was great, but the food was ok, for prices they charge i should expect to at least season the steak, but it was bland, shrip undercooked, and chiken over cooked, it was really expensive, bur the service was amazing 👏

The only good food is the chips and guacamole. Drinks are expensive and small for the price. The food was mediocre.
