El Monumento - Georgetown

Went for brunch , unfriendly service , food average .. couldn’t order tacos to many rules about ordering different tacos . French press coffee, it had been better but now average .. paid 108 dollars for nothing , not going back .

This review is long overdue. My husband and I first went here in 2016 and fell in love with their upscale Mexican dining. Best queso ever! And delicious tacos NOT drowning in cheese, but instead sprinkled with onions and cilantro….AS IT SHOULD BE. My husband loves shrimp quesadillas from here and won’t order them anywhere else because these are the best. And I have to give a huge shout out to John. He first waited on us in 2017 and while we don’t go out as often as we wish, we always have a lovely time when he’s taking care of us. So, go and ask to sit with John, and don’t skip on the delicious apps and cocktails! Oh, and El Monumento a request? Please bring back the churros, if not on the menu, at least as a frequent special! Gracias!

Highly recommend the chicken flautas for choice of ingredients and presentation. Topped with a delectable dressing. On the menu as a shareable appetizer, but makes an excellent main course. Views of the river are nice when sitting outside or near a window.

Great service from our waiter during Sunday brunch. Salsas very good esp the tomatillo. Black bean dip good but needed salt. Nice touch in guacamole with fresh fruit and pepitas. Chips warm and crunchy. Food was fresh and presented well but needed salt. Prices too high, though, compared to other restaurants.

Terrible customer service with stuck up and arrogant waiters. They don 't care about you as a customer at all and will do the absolute bare minimum needed to serve you. We were seated at a table in full sun and told there were no tables available even though there were multiple tables of the same size in plain view. The waiter did not do more than the bare minimum to help resolve the situation. His solution was checking us out and making us go back to the front host and set it up. The server had an incredibly poor attitude and clearly did not want to be there, never going back to this snob watering hole. Spend your money at a place that will actually treat you like a customer rather than a nuisance.
