Reviews for El Techo in 606 Florida Ave NW #1853, WA
El Techo is worth a visit but I’m not sure if it’s a place you would go back to after the first time. The vibes and views... are great and the energy is phenomenal. Although we did have slow service the day we went (but it was a bit crowded). The reasonthey lost two stars from me is due to the pricing vs the food portion- particularly the Birria tacos. The tacos were tasty andvery fresh but significantly smaller in size compared to most Birria tacos I’ve paid for. We over heard a few tablescomplaining about the size of their orders while we were there so I know it wasn’t just us. Just keep that in mind as you’reordering food. We felt similarly about the guacamole. The margaritas we had were okay but definitely light in the alcohol. TresLeches was great! I still think it’s worth a visit but just manage expectations on pricing vs the food you get. Read more
First and foremost, Shawn at the front door was nice in speaking with me and directing me to the reservation. I was treated... upstairs kindly and Alina (very engaging and kind is active on the floor.) Luis, the owner, kindly greeted our table and checkedon us. Our waiter, Jose, patient and helped keep the vibes up at the table. Whatever you usually tip, be ready to give $50-$100more on top of that. Great vibes . Read more
Love this place. Owner is kind and staff also really nice. Came here a bit late and it was full. We ordered nachos and it was... good, love it. Also love their charcoal shot ???? Read more
We sat at the bar in a gorgeous covered outdoor space. Our bartender Lina was fantastic and made us so beautiful and delicious... drinks. I had the gin drink in the menu with rose and mint syrup among other things and my girlfriend had some special frozenconcoction. Lina made some great recommendations and our tacos were fantastic. The carnitas with pineapple slaw was so yummy,but the SHOWSTOPPER was the handmade corn tortillas. They were so soft and held together so well. They were hands down the besttortillas I’ve ever had. If I’m ever back in DC I’m coming for the tacos and the cocktails. Read more

Margaritas at happy hour were tasty, cocktails were tasty, and the decor was beautiful, but the rooftop had a plastic shield... that blocked our view. We went here since we were looking for a rooftop bar experience, but it takes away from the experience ifwe can’t see out. The drinks were pretty pricey too even at happy hour Read more
This place is a whole vibe!!! Such a beautiful setting! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because about 3/4 of the... drink menu was unavailable (and the drinks we got were tasty but weak). Tacos were yummy - and it was taco Tuesday. They messedup my order but brought a replacement quickly. The only other things, seating is not comfortable and it’s not accessible atall - no elevator and large staircase to get there. Other than those things, loved this place! Great service, cool vibe, andgreat selfie backdrops, haha! :) Read more
