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!

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.

We sat at the bar on ground floor for some snacks and drinks over lunch. Both really good. Atmosphere and Ambiance is neat and comfortable. They have multiple floors where you can not only eat but party. The restaurant appears clean. Servers are pleasant and communicative. The guacamole was really good!

Best thing about this restaurant is the bottomless brunch. For 40$ you get bottomless drinks and food. It's a great deal. The service was ok, one of my favorite things about this place was the bench seating at the open window to 14th street. So you can eat and observe the city.

The food is the best part - expect very very loud ambiance at brunch with lots of people standing up and crowds out the door. Difficult to even find the hostess station to checkin. Food is mostly all prepped but decent. Service is poor at best. Have to ask to get pretty much anything. Granted the situation for them sucks given the crowd.

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.

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!

The dessert is delicious! Entrees weren't amazing but not really worth the price. Lemonade is good but the margaritas are a little strong so we mixed it with the lemonade and it was really good. Salsa and chips tasted good. The service was really wonderful and the servers continually checked on how things were which was nice. A very casual environment! Taquitos were cold though. The creamy white rice is so good so there are hit and misses on the menu. Churros definitely tasted like they were made from scratch so definitely get that when you visit!
