"John Fulchino was running dishes from the kitchen across a buzzing, full house while simultaneously greeting longtime customers with gleeful elbow-bumps on the first night of service at Los Compañeros, the new Mexican spot he and longtime friend and business partner Ann Cashion debuted in Adams Morgan at the end of October. It’s no surprise the restaurant was packed on the first night, technically a soft opening only announced on Fulchino’s private Facebook page. Together he and Cashion have opened 11 restaurants in the D.C. area and three in this exact spot. The diners that night were celebrating their return after beloved seafood institution Johnny’s Half Shell closed last year in the same location." - Evan Caplan
So happy this neighborhood spot it back open! Loved that they kept the original Cashion’s layout.
The food is familiar but a little different and well-priced. Everything was good but of special note: the shrimp quesadilla (not pictured) and was flavorful and surprisingly filling and only $12. The margarita was excellent—absolutely no pre-made mix. Looking forward to going back soon!

It was fine but didn’t care for the crabcakes. Perhaps some items from Austin grill days didn’t need to come back. The chicken thighs were the best item on the menu! Very reasonable drink prices. Service was great.

Really lovely! I enjoyed the special artichoke and asparagus tacos. The chips and salsa were great. Service was super friendly and great! I thought the rice could have had a bit more flavor, but everything else was very enjoyable! Great outdoor seating too 😁

Great ambiance, food, and service. Had a couple of good vegetarian options the day we went. Menu is short and sweet. Enjoyed the bison ribs, seafood soup, and strawberry frozen marg.

First time visit to Los Compañeros but longtime fan of all their restaurants! Loved the grilled sable and pork tamale (see photos.) Also loved the seafood soup and fish tacos. It’s great to have you back🎉❗️

We ate here last night and it was amazing! Almost everything on the menu is gluten free ☺️ Plus, the service was wonderful - Alvaro was our server and he was very kind. Would highly recommend!

Had dinner there several weeks ago. Was looking forward to it but was disappointed. Decor is fun but the food not so much. Honestly, the chips are terrible—made in house or not. Chicken tacos much better up the street at Al Lado. The bartender who served us in the bar slightly surely. Hope it improves rapidly!

The restaurant is a nice addition to the neighborhood. The food is more like a tapa style but it tasted very authentic the servers are on top of their game, and the drinks were the best part of my visit(avion was an excellent cocktail) . However, the menu is very small and there is nothing new or special about the food. The dissapping part is that the menu has no descriptions whatsoever. They should add descriptions to their menu mostly because the servers are very busy to describe their menu and people have allergies to certain ingredients.
