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.
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.
So many good things to try here but some of the must-haves are the Asada marinated steak tacos, Pescadofish tacos, and of course the amazing corn on the cob 'street style.'
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.
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 salsapicante (hot sauce) if you need an extra kick.
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. En savoir plus
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.
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.
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!
