Delicious! Seafood burrito w mole was outstanding. Rice was an excellent surprise and the queso blanco delicious. This restaurant was an unplanned and exceptional Surprise! It was busy yet we sat immediately on a Saturday at dinner time. It was perfect and the server was wonderful, kind and caring. Great experience.

This review is for the margarita and chips and salsa only. My husband and I just wanted a place to rest our feet and have a drink. It was on a Friday afternoon so Happy Hour prices made my margarita reasonable. Cute restaurant. Nice friendly staff. I would recommend returning here for their tasty strong margaritas!

People keep looking for the newest restaurant, but Los Cuates is a classic that will hopefully be here for years to come. Pleasant service, reliably good food and relaxing atmosphere. You're missing out if you're standing in line at the latest fad.

Great Mexican place in Georgetown! Cozy spot off of The Main Drag of M Street, but still in a cool location, with lots of activity. And the prices are really great for what you get. Everyone who works here is a delight. Menu includes all of the Mexican standards.

Wanted to eat here in our many trips to Washington. We were not disappointed, tasty food, chimichangas, taco salad and nachos with a spicy sauce. Even our 18 month granddaughter ate everything. Definitely worth a visit.

My second time here and it’s even better than i remember. The service is friendly and quick, great atmosphere with great music, nice and cozy as well. The food is so fresh and so delicious, i’m already craving it again. We got the nachos platter for an appetizer, and holy- is was so good, honestly it could be a meal for one(pictured below). Highkey forgot what the name of the dish i ordered is, but it’s definitely Fajitas and they were definitely extremely good (pictured below). Last time i got a burrito and my friend got one this time (pictured as well), it was phenomenal. 10/10 will be coming again, still my favorite spot for mexican cuisine in Georgetown!
