"One of the best places for brunch in town is the bright, colorful, always-packed Urbano 116, which serves vibrant Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes against the backdrop of a giant Frida Kahlo mural. Convince your friends to wake up early for their excellent chilaquiles and brunch fajitas, plus a plate of breakfast tacos. If a round of Micheladas for the table sounds like child’s play, there’s the option to order a massive, 56-ounce margarita. Happy Hour, which runs from 3-7pm Monday through Friday, is also a great time to come by." - madeline weinfield, mekita rivas

"I grab a solid breakfast taco at Urbano 116 when I want a quicker morning bite." - Missy Frederick
"The chef’s D.C.‑area debut at Urbano 116 in Old Town Alexandria drew a poor early Washington Post review; after a year the restaurant flipped to a Tex‑Mex approach to cater to the tourist‑heavy neighborhood, prompting Méndez Florián to leave." - Gabe Hiatt
"I note that the Old Town Tex-Mex restaurant Urbano 116 will spin off into the food hall as Urbano @ The Heights." - Adele Chapin
