MXDC Cocina Mexicana by Todd English Review

Nice happy hour, solid tacos, great outdoor seating and waitstaff. 14th is a little busy but a great location otherwise.

Great happy hour deals from 3 to 6pm!! Very nice restaurant in downtown DC. Food was great and the margaritas are strong!!

Excellent restaurant near the white house. They accommodated us easily without a reservation. Great food and drinks. We had the enchiladas, carne asada, mahi burritos, and tacos. Everything was great and the staff was very polite and friendly.

Very nice and clean. Menu was a little shallow to be a Mexican restaurant and the servings were literally bite size for the price I was expecting a little more

Decent Mexican food. Staff could use a bit more training. Not very friendly or diligent I get much better service in Mexico. Would need a new reason to return here.

We were surprised by how good this place was. Late on a rainy night we were looking for somewhere fun to provide a little cheer. Not only were they happy to see us when everywhere else was closing, we had a great time. We also weren't particularly in the mood for Mexican food, but their interesting flavors and choices came to the rescue, and we even got a nice visit from the chef on duty. Thanks for a great experience to the staff. We will definitely visit again.

If one is looking for Mexican food this might disappoint. I m from the southwest and there s a difference in DC Mexican and southwest southwest. Don t get me wrong the food was good but a unique place for me and my wife. The margarita shown was the simple one and it was great. Also shown is the green enchiladas. Not bad. The dessert was the charros with ice cream that was very good. All in all a good place but was unique nonetheless.

Beautiful restaurant with great food!! This is definitely not Tex-Mex so keep that in mind when visiting. Glad we visited, the whole family had a great time!!

TERRIBLE FOOD!! Let me tell you why! (Saturday evening)
Not even Spanish (I m Hispanic myself so we know about good food)
Carne asada had no seasoning ( ya saben porque ) yellow rice was just tasteless with a hint of lemon and pepper.
Waiter was a bit rude he at first seemed annoyed not sure why maybe because we
We re a group of 11 he seemed much happier when we payed. Mind you it was still over 300$$$ -
Never AGAIN.
Solo la gente blanca le conviene ir
Tal vez por eso lo hacen.

Really nice ambiance...good drinks...but food had no taste. I went with a group of friends we orderded a number of plates to share.. The only item we enjoyed was the guacamole and ceviche. The service was nice and accommodating.
