Visited Mula tonight for an 1800 reservation. The place was packed for a Wed night. Reservations recommended.
Beer list is mostly Mexican beer which was saved by having Fairy Nector. (C)
Margarita was tasty and well done but very small (10 oz or so). Definitely not the gargantuan margaritas seen elsewhere. (B-)
Chips and salsa were good, but not free. They have a variety of salsas ranging in taste and flavor. All of the ones we tried were good, but pricey. The chips were OK. I prefer light and thin chips. These are thick. But, they definitely were not chips out of a bag. (A-)
Their main schtick are street tacos. They have a wide variety of options including different levels of spiciness. Beef, chicken, chorizo, and fish options along with vegan options. They are very small tacos, even for street tacos. And, the tortillas, while tasty, did not serve well to hold the tacos together. Everyone's tacos were disintegrating after a bite or two. But, they were quite flavorful. Overall, we prefer Voodoo Taco tacos over these by a large margin for taste, size, and tortilla quality. The nachos were very well done. I got the chorizo nachos and the chorizo was some of the best I've had. It wasn't greasy, but it was still spicy and tasty with lots of chorizo. The portion looked small, but it was more than I could eat. (B)
Service was timely and nice. As I mentioned, they were busy. But, the food came quickly. Orders were accurate. (A)
Ambiance was trendy and clean. It was very loud in the restaurant requiring us to talk pretty loudly for our table of four to hear each other. (B)
Price was closer to Washington DC prices ($$$$). For 3 tacos, 1 nachos, 2 cokes, 1 beer, and chips with 3 salsas, the price was $57 before tip. (D)
Parking is a nightmare, as it is for most restaurants in this area.
Overall, it's a good place to try, especially if you live close.
