Hoja Taqueria 1900 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20009

"I recently celebrated a private birthday at Hoja and the experience was perfect, i worked closely with Clark who worked closely with me to keep the event within my budget and made sure everything was executed correctly. The food and drinks were amazing! The venue ambiance was perfect for a private party - the unique artwork on the wall made photos from every angle look great! Would definitely recommend this hidden gem."

"I am writing to express my profound disappointment and frustration with the experience I encountered at Hoja Taqueria tonight. I had made a reservation for 9:00 p.m., expecting a delightful dining experience that included the ambiance, the food, and the overall environment. To my utter surprise and dismay, upon arriving at the restaurant, I found it closed for a private event. Instead of being informed in advance, I was offered a seat outside of the restaurant. This completely shattered the expectations I had for a pleasant and immersive dining experience. The decision to close the restaurant without notifying customers with reservations is unacceptable and reflects a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. The essence of my visit was lost, as I was deprived of the ambiance and atmosphere that initially attracted me to Hoja Taqueria. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of professionalism and consideration demonstrated by the management. It is disheartening to witness such a lapse in customer service, especially considering the anticipation I had for this visit. I hope this feedback serves as a constructive criticism, urging the restaurant to reevaluate its reservation and event management processes. As a customer, I believe in providing honest feedback, and unfortunately, my experience tonight compels me to leave a negative review."

"This was a HUGE surprise… such a hidden gem. Literally the best Mexican food I’ve had in dc - it should be it’s own free standing restaurant because I never would have gone in to try it if I weren’t staying at the hostel. They use Oaxaca cheese - SO yummy. The ceviche was INCREDIBLE! And a fun little vibe with little photo ops. It was empty when we were there and seems like people don’t know how tasty this place is but I would totally go back and highly recommend for the food! I wasn’t super impressed with the drinks but they were cute! I came here in September and have been thinking about it a lot haha! Finally doing the review because this place is so good!"

"We're staying at the Hilton and Hoja is across the street with much better food options and pricing than at the hotel. It was our first time there, and we really enjoyed everything about the restaurant. The margaritas were really good! We had the carne asada tacos that wete on the happy hour menu and they were delicious. We also had guacamole that was fresh and delicious, a habanero confit salsa, and churros with a chocolate dipping sauce for dessert. Everything was excellent and our server, Sita, was excellent as was all of the other staff we interacted with there. Unfortunately, I didn't think to photograph the food, but it was truly delicious."

"Hoja Taqueria is a nice surprise. The aesthetic is reminiscent of a Spanish cigar bar. The live edge tables add to the earthy feel. The service is impeccable, & the food is delicious. Parking around the restaurant is scarce, but you can find a spot within walking distance. If you're in DC, Hoja Taqueria is a definite go-to spot."
