Tortilla Cafe

True hole in the wall. I can see why Guy F enjoyed this place. Ordered the empanana player and was not disappointed. My wife and two kids enjoyed the visit as well. The food came out hot and fresh even though it was near closing time. The setting inside was quaint and was great for my family. Easy to locate and was conveniently located next the marketplace. The service was also top notch. The staff were very friendly and clearly shows they enjoy what they do. My only opportunity is the need for a better selection of drinks, specifically tea. But that does not affect my 5 star rating!!!! Features: No Restrictions

Excellent service. The menu is digital, which was off-putting, but overall a good experience. Patio seating was nice, with sun-umbrellas and WiFi. Delicious breakfast with plantains, and they have a wide beverage selection including house made horchata. Kid-friendliness: Very kid heavy area Dietary restrictions: Explain what you need, and they will accommodate

Their prices are higher now; whose aren’t? But, this place is still a solid deal on the Hill: one of the last of the affordable and satiating places to eat still left on the hill. Before the Hill gets even more bougie than it is now, make time to try this place, now, to get a taste of a blue collar meal that will fill you up for the rest of the day! Try the Salvadoran breakfast, or a side of the delicious sweet sautéed plantains, depicted in my photo, or the Mexican breakfast, a breakfast burrito with egg and crumbled chorizo, a seasoned sausage. As of April, 2022, this wonderful hidden treasure IS OPEN for dining inside, or on their patio seating out front, across from Eastern Market.

This place has great food! I always make it a point to stop by if I'm in town to get a fajita salad with a horchata and I am one happy camper. The price is very reasonable and the staff is super friendly. Love this placeFood: 5/5

It would be dangerous for me to live/work closer to Tortilla Cafe. The pupusa platter is perhaps the single best intersection of deliciousness and low cost that you'll find anywhere in D.C. Love how this place has continued a long track record of making good, affordable food. It's rare to find a spot in this neighborhood that's survived as long as Tortilla Cafe has, but that's no coincidence. They've found a real recipe for success.

The food is so good. Authentic. It has all sorts of great foods to chose from and everything is done right. That's why they were on the food channel. This is a small spot but theres always room for dessert. The deserts are awesome too. The fresh made juice drinks are to die for and the service can be compared to being treated like family. This place is love.

We were starving when we stumbled into this little joint! They had vegetarian and dairy intolerant friendly options. The prices are super low for the area and the food was so darn good!!! I d highly recommend Mexican food deliciousness to any of my friends!!!

This place is a gem! The food was delicious! A good rule is always eat where the local workers grab lunch!Food: 5/5

Love the Gilled Chicken Breast Wrap. These Flautas filled w/chicken ate delicious ! Please try them Vegetarian options: They do have dishes that you could do meatless. Check out their menu

Stoners' be warned! I mean "DAMN" I have eaten a lot of papusas in my lifetime, but the papusa I just got from Tortilla Cafe is, by far, the best I've had. Not only is the food reasonably priced, it is overflowing with cheese and maxed out on flavor. It is definately a best kept secret. Many thanks to Rodrigo.
