“ The service as awesome. They accommodate my meal due to my diet after surgery and my niece last minute swap of food. The waiter was incredible and the chef came to see us at the table to make sure my meal was good and I had to thank him for it..the tuna was delicious. ”
“ Excellent food and drinks! The 35 brunch is well worth it and the staff is extremely hospitable ”
“ This was my 3rd time to El Centro for brunch! This was the best experience of the 3 visits. We sat in the rooftop area. The service with Steven was awesome! He was friendly and very attentive! The food was great and fast service too. We went a bit slower with ordering the plates, pacing ourselves. The drinks were nice and refreshing ( nice pours). Go to El Centro for Bottomless Brunch!! It's a great place to meet up or for a date! ”
“ Delicious Mexican food during the day. The basement turns into a night club at 10:30pm playing a mix of pop / pop Latin! The chicken enchiladas divorciadas and el pastor tacos were delicious! The pineapple margarita with spice isn't playing. You definitely get some kick to it! ”
“ Their all you can eat brunch was glorious! Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. For two people I recommend choosing 2 or 3 dishes at a time. The dishes are in small portions, for example you would get one taco, one empanada, one small, delgada enchilada at a time. They bring your yummy selections pretty promptly and you don't want to order too much and allow your food to become frio. Our favorite dishes were the chorizo sliders, beef empanadas, breakfast torta, and the churros. The agua frescas we also refreshing. Our favorites were the watermelon, a little sweet, and the hibiscus, a little tart. We purchased the non alcoholic brunch which was 25, a great price for all you can eat in DC! ”
“ This is probably the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. We ordered the fiesta menu because we couldn’t narrow down our choices and I’m SO glad we did. The guacamole was mixed in front of us at the table and it was outstanding. The tacos were absolutely delicious and everything tasted so authentic. The flan was an amazing finish to top everything off. I’m so excited to go back and try more the next time I go! Highly recommend. ”
