An overall great experience with great food. It seems like a place that would be lots of fun to go to with a group for dinner. There is a platform with a keyboard so perhaps there are performers. Otherwise, the service was fantastic as my server was friendly and helpful. Food also came out promptly but my smoky margarita took a while (but it was quite good). Unfortunately, they were out of their house-made spicy marg mix which I was looking forward to for Happy Hour. Regardless, the mushroom taco was an easy 4.5/5 while the cauliflower taco was a 4/5. The chili was great it was a solid 4.7/5. Definitely worth the visit and bring a group for Happy Hour/dinner for the best experience (I’d assume).

We came here for brunch and we’re the only ones here until about 1130am. The food was hit or miss, service was ok and the atmosphere was lacking due to the empty vibe.

Me and my Friend came here and had a BLAST. This was our first time here and we really didn’t know what to expect but honestly we had the time of our lives we did brunch and the bottomless drinks. Our server’s name was EVAN! he was the sweetest. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. He made the experience very enjoyable and his customer service…unmatched. So every time we come here were requesting him. The food was so good too, I had french toast and it was very good , that was probably one of my top five french toasts. Im coming back for sure

Very nice spot! We visited on last Sunday evening. So, brunch was over however they still had happy hour prices on some of the drinks and apps! I thoroughly enjoyed my tacos! And the guacamole, salsa and chips tasted very fresh. Enjoyed myself.

The wings were very tasty. Happy hour prices are very affordable. So are the regularly priced menu items. It can be a bit noisy when sitting outside but you’re also on Georgia Ave so it’s not surprising. The staff member King was very pleasant and helpful and attentive. I didn’t feel that from the rest of the staff. I kinda felt like a burden to the rest of the staff. Otherwise, the place was great. Oh! And clean bathroom!!!

I have been a couple times. The food was better the second time. But what I find really annoying is the lack of transparency with pricing. I ordered an iced tea and got a refill and the guy charged me for two teas, which was $8. Then there was a mandatory automatic tip (which I didn’t know about) which came to $5 and change. Then they asked for an additional tip on top of that.

This place was excellent. I really enjoyed the mango margarita and my group had a GREAT time. The food was exquisite, and it was a lovely place to dine with good friends. I recommend it for happy hour (!) or dinner. Lovely use of the space, and I can’t wait to come back and use the patio.

I love Qualia Cantina rebirth and new hybrid pop up coffee cantina small biz collab model featuring snax/balconies/rooftops/ happy hour, bad bunny on repeat—more dc biznesses should go this route not to mention new name Qualia Cantina reminds one of the dearly departed Cantina Marina formerly of SW, except I guess Qualia Cantina is neither floating on the water nor is it on a dock, nor is it pretending to be a barge but all this is to say it could be, so why not??

I found this place to be outstanding. We made a family trip there after a sports practice for our child. The staff was friendly, warm, and looked like they took a lot of pride in this restaurant. Special attention was paid to our child and their food came out quickly.
