We did bottomless brunch here. The food was amazing! Our waitress Mari was so attentive, informative, and personable she made the experience great. Atmosphere is very chill, able to have conversations, music wasn’t too loud. Would highly recommend!

I met up with a good friend for drinks during happy hour. The drinks were delicious, fast service at the bar (it was packed) on top of that their happy hour nachos were a great sized portion with lots of steak. I recommend coming for their happy hour!

Stopped by for a good meal on a friend's recommendation and was very happy with our choice. The food was delicious and our server Kevin really helped tie our experience together with his charisma and his drink recommendations. Thanks for making the night Kevin, will definitely be coming back!

The food is quality and authentic. The margarites are outstanding, especially the spicy mango!! The entire staff was attentive and pleasant. Didn't make a reservation so opted for seats at the bar and was greeted by a delightful young man Kevin who ensured our every expectation was met as we enjoyed our drinks and a bite to eat. Thank you for the exceptional service!! 5 stars!!

I had a great time here!! The food and atmosphere was great. We had Kevin as our server. He told us to try the spicy mango margarita and it was delicious! He definitely knows his stuff! I would definitely come back when in the neighborhood.

Love this place! It's somewhat pricey but worth it. The drinks are phenomenal (the strawberry margarita in particular) and the food is among the tastiest Mexican you can get in DC. The servers are very attentive and meticulous in their work. The building is always packed, though, so sometimes it can take a little while to get your food. Be sure to make a reservation if you don't want to sit at the bar(s).

El centro is the location to be! Great atmosphere , good drink selection and food options . The carne asada was fire 🔥 and overall the food was amazing . Vanina and her attention to our table was on point and kept checking on us. Even the hosts were informative that not only is the food good , but they have a lit night life and I followed them on IG. For sure will be a special location to my DC Visit ! 💯🥃🥩

My cousin and I recently stayed in Georgetown to attend a concert at the Capital One arena. We passed by El Centro and noticed the beautiful floral wall and decided to check out the menu. We LOVED everything about this restaurant. Walking in, the decor was beautiful. Our waitress was so sweet and was patient with us as we really had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up ordering a trio of tacos, one pork belly, one shrimp, and one steak. They were SO good. The pork belly literally melted in my mouth. It also came with a side of rice and beans which were also very tasty. I'm extremely picky with my tacos and these did not disappoint. I also had a spicy margarita that was the perfect balance of tequila and mango- we went back the next night to order more! Easily my favorite place to eat in all of Georgetown. It's been a few weeks and my cousin and I are STILL talking about this place.
