I was trying to book a holiday party in DC in October… for my company. So i already knew I was in trouble. Louie was fantastic. He was very responsive and helped work out a great menu that worked with our budget. The space was beautiful, the team loved the food and the staff was stellar. I’ve already heard that it was the best holiday party venue we’ve ever done. 10/10 not a thing we’d change. Thank you El Techo!

I came here a couple of years ago and the brunch was pretty decent. This time it was horrendous. They offer a buffet now and changed the previous menu. Everything at the buffet looked dry and nothing on the menu was appetizing. So, we opted to do bottomless margs. The bottomless margs were tasty, but flavor options were limited to watermelon, mango and regular. So we rotated between the 3 flavors & they were strong. The decor here is beautiful and the dj played the jams. But to be honest this place was empty. Probably because the menu was severely lacking. My friend ordered the trio (guac, salsa and cheese dip) and it’s was ok. For 3 bottomless drinks, a trio and a round of shots cost $283. They are very overpriced. They add a mandatory 20% gratuity to your total. Our server was amazing. But, the bartender Austin was very interesting and unprofessional to say the least… very rude and unwelcoming. His behavior was not acceptable. Good thing we were pretty much done when we had to interact with him. Just an unpleasant experience with him.

El techo was absolutely amazing. Could not recommend more. We got there when they first opened and the atmosphere was still insanely good. Food, service, atmosphere, drinks, AMAZING. Louis (the owner) greeted us and interacted with every customer there. He was awesome. If you’re looking for brunch/good drinks/food or just a good time, GO TO EL TECHO!!

Fun lively techno dance vibe on a rooftop. Friendly service, including check-ins from the owner. On the rooftop on a warm summer day - it’s perfect. Solo visit on a Saturday evening and luckily got a seat right away at the bar open air window. But make a reservation if you want seating. It was all booked
