Mxdc Cocina Mexicana By Chef Todd English

Full disclosure: I lived 26 years in Texas, so you're going to have to work hard to impress me with Mexican food. While I loved the location and ambience, I wasn't overly impressed with the food. It was good, but not great. The automatic fallback to black beans with no choice of refried beans was a turnoff. The food was tasty but lacked in the spiciness category.

The place is cute and the atmosphere is definitely happy hour. I had the strawberry margarita and it was superb. Also caught the happy hour tacos special(carne asada and Mahi Mahi) both were good, they are a little in the small side so you need at least four. Daughter had the salmon and she loved the honey glaze on top. Love that the waitress asked about food allergies when taking our daughter bc my daughter had some. Will definitely visit again when in DC.

The service was good and the food was great! The lobster and corn guacamole was delicious! Make sure you stir it up because the lobster sits on the top, it isn't throughout the guac. The tacos were good too. I had one one carne asada, one pollo, and one mahi mahi. They were flavorful and filling.

I've had a lot of Mexican food in my time and love a good Mexican restaurant. This place certainly qualifies. The food was grat. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not over done or dried out. The staff and overall service was attentive and friendly.

Found this place when I was visiting DC in DC and came back again this week! The chef and staff are great with food allergies and the food is amazing!! I got the guacamole ????, tacos (chicken, pork shoulder and the veggie- all sooo good even without the sauce so I could eat it with my allergies! . I don?t drink and their fresca choices are delicious.
