    Being at chicatana was the best experience I’ve ever had in a Mexican cuisine. my waiter that day recommended me a lot of options in the menu and I picked out some from his recommendations and it did not disappoint I tried the spicy passion fruit and the Al pastor margarita where the best margaritas I’ve ever tried in the DMV and for starters I was recommended the flautas de pollo and they were incredible and I definitely recommend it. And then the tacos where very good you have a good selection of protein for the taco I really loved the specialty Al pastor taco and the barbacoa where my favorites and if I were to eat taco in the DMV it would most definitely be chicatana 10/10
