Benitos Place: Reviews & Ratings
Small place conveniently located by our Hotel. Started with an order of Chips and Salsa, that were served with 2 different hot sauces. Next I had the churrasco. Service was grea!
This place is incredible - consistently great food at great prices! You can't go wrong with the baleadas, gorditas, pupusas, and tortas!! The champurrado also hits in the cold weather. Hope to keep trying more from their menu
Amazing food for the value - would definitely return. I got a steak dish and it was very filling and the steak was juicy as well. You can't go wrong with this restaurant!
This is a great spot for tasty and affordable food! I swung by on a Friday evening to pick up dinner - it was somewhat busy but I managed to avoid waiting in line to order. I got steak baleadas and a reveultas pupusa. The total was about $16 if I remember right. It was quite a filling and delicious meal. The baleadas were well-crafted, with plenty of meat and avocado in the filling. The pupusa, packed with meat and ripe for saucing, was also excellent. I would recommend one or the other, unless your appetite is particularly mighty. It's a small place - there are a few tables you can use, but taking your food to nearby Logan Circle is another great option.
The pupusas were really good and affordable. We sat outside since there wasn't open seating for 3 and unfortunately had to deal with mosquitos. Nice hidden gem in Logan Circle
Mole was top tier. Great little spot for dine in - order a beer and unwind brother you deserve it.
If you like Central American food. This is the spot for you . Food was good , service was good , no one in my family complained . We sat outside , there were a lot of Mosquitos , when we told the waitress she went out of her way and got us bug spray . Either way check it out Good luck out out there homies
The food was amazing, the person who served us was friendly and asked if we were visiting / how the food was. It wasn't too busy, and honestly it was the cheapest meal I ate in D.C.!
The food here is excellent! My friend and I were trying to go to Chaplins but it was closed so I went on yelp and saw this place was close by. It's a small place and there's 1 table outside. It was nice outside so we decided to sit out there and people watch. I got the sopa de res and it was so delicious! It was a large bowl and it came with like 2 pieces of beef and veggies. I wish there was more beef though. I also got the beans and cheese pupusa which was really good. The food was really filling and they also had drinks like beer and margaritas. If Freiburg come here again next time I'm in dc.
