Dupont’s Iron Gate Celebrates Milestone With a Retro Menu | Eater DC

"From Friday to Sunday the spot is selling Wicked-themed cocktails to celebrate the movie opening: Elphaba’s Fancy Margarita ($15), made of La Gritona reposado tequila, orange brandy, lime, and agave topped off with dark, sugary cherries; Glinda’s Grapefruit Tonic ($14), made with Gracias a Dio’s agave gin, Campari, tonic, and grapefruit; and a Fiyero special spicy beverage made with blue agave tequila, habanero, and blood orange. The magical drinks are available during lunch and dinner service." - Emily Venezky

The restaurant looks great! They really transformed the place, we were very impressed by the decor. The staff were welcoming and pleasant. The food was good and the portions were large. The menu has lots and lots of options. There are no draft beer or fountain drinks at this time. But they offer cocktails and canned soda. We will definitely return for another meal!

To be fair, we went on the 4th of July, so it was almost empty. However, the service was on point the food was good, the waitress was on point! Helped us order a made up dish that was delicious. They made chicken birria tacos for my Bae, and he loved them! The Jamaica was so delicious, I'd go back just for that!!! We enjoyed the visit. Adding to out go-tos. Also, they have dishes from different countries too, so its nice to have a variety.

Great food and atmosphere. I got the burrito vaquero and the avocado was fresh! And definitely too big to finish so the rest was carry out lol. They really transformed the interior and booths are comfy cozy for 2-4 people.

I accidentally ordered from this place thinking it was my usual place. I ordered the straight tacos and you get plenty of meat. Not much vegetables involved plus no alvacado and no cilantro. But food was not good unfortunately adding more meat doesn't make it better. Ended up throwing it away.

Worst attempt of mexican food ever. Hated everything. Had almost enough salsa for 10 chips. Meat on the taco was the hardest toughest meat I have ever seen in my life. I would not even feed it to my dog❗❗ I have never ever tasted our smelled or looked at the nastiest chile relleno in my life❗❗❗ General attitude of the staff is unforgiving and uncaring❗❗ when you point at a beer on the menu and not only do they not have it but they bring you something else with the lid off and expect you to drink it because that is what they are serving today❗❗ Do not waste your time on this Typical Crater Road establishment❗❗ never in my life have I been more disappointed and left a restaurant more hungry than I did from that nasty nasty place❗❗❗ no one on the staff cared about me being happy whatsoever❗❗❗

Stopped by on my lunch break the food was GREAT, as well as the customer service. I will be returning. Didn’t take any pictures of the food because I ate it all. But the prices are decent.
