great, intimate venue but check your tab! upon closing out, my husband and i noticed that the bill was quite high and we asked for an itemized receipt. there were two drinks on there that we did not order. bartender was cool and fixed it but the lack of transparency (they hand you a bill to sign without what you purchased on it) and the somewhat sneaky automatic 20% service fee (why don’t you just increase your beer prices and not add it on later—but i guess this is typical now in dc) really soured our otherwise nice experience.

used to love this store but the shoplifting by others has negatively impacted the experience of paying customers. i often look online to check if an item is in stock and the last few times i’ve gone, my items are not there (presumably shoplifted). also, many other items are locked (including socks and underwear) up so i’m not sure how convenient it is to actually shop here when you have to find someone with a key. i know the workers are trying their best and i’ve never had a bad experience with them but i primarily use this store now to return shipped items because i cannot walk to pick them up when i need them.

needed something notarized very quickly. came in around 4:45 and the branch was very busy and the notary was unavailable. went on the BoA app around 5pm and booked an appointment at 9:30 the next day. bank associate was courteous, respectful of my time, and even called to follow up because she realized my form was missing a line. pleasant experience and i will consider them for future notary needs!

want to shout out how amazing this library and the greater dc library system is! where else can you have access to books and other resources (in print and online), free computer use and printing, covid testing, voting, and e-recycling (just to name a few services they offer). so happy to be a dc resident and part of this amazing effort. keep up the great work for the community!

I have been looking forward to coming to this place for two months (i live out of state) and i’m sorry to say that i am extremely disappointed with my experience this afternoon. i tried the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and ordered the huraches pobres again and i can’t believe this is the same restaurant. the pobres were 100% different than what i had two months ago. i really loved the little masa “boats” filled with beans and cheese and veggies and was surprised to see a pancake with cheese and raw onions. the enchiladas were ok- but was surprised when they were 50% more expensive than what i had on my menu from just two months ago (i placed the order over the phone). the beans that came with them were so salty that they were inedible and the red sauce tasted mostly like frank’s red hot sauce. i understand that expenses and prices can rise but consistency and quality are key and i’m sorry to say that i’m super sad they didn’t deliver this time.

previous review:: Amazing, traditional Mexican place in the center of Manville. Got take out this evening (they were super great about taking my order and payment outside) and everything was delicious! The torta milanese de pollo was so tasty and I was so surprised how big it was when I unwrapped it! We also tried the vegetable quesadilla, carne enchilada tacos, and hurache pobre and the portions were extremely generous (we’ll have leftovers all week) and extremely delicious. Don’t hesitate to try something new at this amazing spot! They have outdoor seating as well (byob); I’ll definitely be back!!
