Eater

El Chucho has an impressive beverage menu for such a small place, complete with a variety of margaritas , spike-able sodas and a cocktail list that includes the Senor Clusterf*ck and a Blue Hawaiian.

Jeffrey Kaufman

Definitely get the guacamole and elote for appetizers and one of the sets if two tacos for the main. Skip the asada and go with the el pastor or vegetarian one.

Behrad Eats

So many good things to try here but some of the must-haves are the Asada marinated steak tacos , Pescado fish tacos , and of course the amazing corn on the cob 'street style.'

Trace D.

This is a do not miss for Columbia Heights. The drinks are booze with booze and the food is small portions but excellent. Don't miss the Elote or the Hierba.

Sonia Nagda

Elote (Mexican grilled corn ) is a must. The calabacitas tacos (fried zucchini ) are a great choice, even if you're not vegetarian . Ask for the salsa picante (hot sauce ) if you need an extra kick.

Washington Post

El Chucho's elote callejero is worth it. The grilled corn is gilded with brown-butter aioli , cilantro , chili-lime salt and pungent Parmesan-like cotija cheese . Wash it down with a $5 margarita . Read more

The salsa here is the best I’ve tasted, excellent consistency! The pescado tacos are far better than the meat tacos . Great ambience.

cullen schwarz

Food is very good (especially the sloppy sandwich that comes with plastic gloves), homemade sodas with booze are excellent. All night Monday happy hour is a great bonus.

Wilson Andrews

One of the best kept secrets in DC. Great pork tacos , the corn is ridiculous, and the bartenders make a mean cocktail . Ask for the Suffering Bastard.

Leemor Yuravlivker

Get atún, pescado and vegetales. Wash it down with a passion fruit margarita and your are good to go.

Peter Kelley

Sope de Moronga is amazing. Deep rich black flavor and a fresh green taste on top. Nice with a Pomegranate Tart Apple Margarita with Lime Chile Salt

Courtney

The tacos are great - try the tuna ! The margaritas are amazing. And the service is always top notch!

Stacy Bo Bacy

Good margaritas . Tiny, tasty tacos . Fast, friendly service . Thankfully they have bug spray to use when you sit outside.

Kimberly A.

Do not leave here without trying the Original Margarita with Chili Lime Salt - IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Ardvaark

You can't beat a frozen margarita on a hot summer afternoon.

Mike Lock

Try the elote and all night happy hour on Mondays

SweetBread Jim's

Tried many different items and overall, the food is a bit lackluster in the flavor department. Good drinks, though. Try Mama Chuy for better Mexican street food .

Arnaud Réauté

Those guys are insulting. I was rejected from the bar because I "only" had my official French ID. It seems like it's not good enough for them. If you aim to have strict rule at least have right info!

Jay Cropps

Primo late night taco menu!

Moritz

They make their own simple syrups . Try the Blackberry Poblano Margarita or the Senorita Cluster.

Jose M.

frozen swirl margarita and the torta ahogado. you can thank me later!

Benjamin Loewy

Upstairs outdoor seating is the perfect spot for frozen margaritas on a hot summer night in the District.

David Ben

The $5 margarita on the rocks is the tastiest of the margaritas . No need to get fancy with it.

Lisa McGrath

All cocktails are amazing. And the pork belly appetizers blew me away with all its flavor!

Tamara Ring

Great happy hour specials (according to Thrillist DC) - $4 margaritas , $4 beers , & $4 tacos ! Read more

Coco Mc

The Blackberry Margarita with Chili Salt is to die for!

Aaron Zimmerman

A neighborhood favorite. Great tacos and a strawberry habanero lime margarita .

Scott Klein

Amazing corn and mezcal . The strawberry habenaro margaritas are good too.

Alex D'Ici

The margaritas rise far above the fray. Steak and polenta w/mole sauce was unforgettable.

KimO

It felt like home! Cali! This tequila and bartender wasAWESOME!

Alex Booker

Their rooftop is nice, and a cool/chill neighborhood vibe .

Jessica Placencia

Nice laid back Mexican. They have a rooftop and a bajillion tequilas .

Matt Groom

This place is joy! Try the corn , cheese ball things and the margaritas !

Brittany Peet

Great food and cocktails , but I can't go back until the foie gras is off the menu .

Serious Eats

Head to this spot for margaritas on tap and tacos on the charming roofdeck.

Cara

Happy hour lasts all night on Monday, and don't miss the elote callejero .

Tasting Table

Don the pair of gloves that accompanies the Torta Ahogada and dig into salsa-drenched perfection: Read more

Víctor Sánchez

Ok...first time here...BUT the taquitos de Huitlacoche are to die for. Get on it!!

Andrew Wiseman

Elote is phenomenal. $5 margarita is good too.

Alex Barth

For a great and cheap mezcal pick el maguey vida.

Brian Chamowitz

All night happy hour on Mondays

Marcus Robinson

Ask for Nick he will have you feeling like you are in TJ..... For real

Kara-anne Curl

Margaritas are tasty. Tacos are good, but could use a little more oomph. Won't stop me from going back though.

Alison Goh

Half price tacos and drink specials every day 4-730. Otherwise not sure if its worthwhile.

Andrew Clark

Place does not take reservations so get here early or prepare to wait, especially for the rooftop .

Robin Decoster

The food & The atmosphere!

Adrienne Caruso

The porkbelly appetizer is unbelievable. Unexpected amazingness.

Uzoma Nwosu

The Elote is second to none!

Theodore Jones

Good margaritas , pretty good fried cheese . As for food... Go to Mama Chuy 's on Georgia Ave

Jeff Miccolis

The pozole is an espectacular way to warm up on a cool night.
