  I'm writing this review because I want to see more Dominican restaurants thrive in the United States. This was going to be a 1-star review but I changed it to 2 at the last minute because a guy who works at the bar treated me well and the food was good. First, the music was too loud both outside and inside — it was impossible to eat in peace anywhere in the restaurant. Second, the restaurant was dirty everywhere: the floor, the bathroom, and outside. Third, I ordered food to eat inside the restaurant and I had to guess when my food was ready because there was no way to bring it to the table or notify me that it was ready, so I had to get up every now and then to check if my food was done. Fourth, I admire the craft and our culture, but if I'm going to a restaurant to eat, I don't want to hear 4 grown men slamming dominoes so loud it sounds like gunshots. They should move the domino table outside. And lastly, they have no condiments — I asked for ketchup and they had nothing. I hope the owner fixes these conditions, because honestly I don't see people from any other culture putting up with all these shortcomings the way Dominicans do. Estoy escribiendo esta review porque quiero severed Que mas restaurantes dominicanos prosperen en Estados Unidos esto iba hacer un review de 1 estrellas pero la cambie a 2 en el último momento porque un muchacho que trabaja en el bar no trató bien y la comida estaba buena. Primero la música demasiado alta en la área de afuera y la área de adentro era imposible comer en paz. En cualquier área del restaurante. Segundo el restaurant estaba sucio en todos los lugares pozo, bańo, y afuera. Tercero ordené para comer a dentro del restaurante y yo tenía que adivinar cuando mi comida estaba lista porque no había forma de llevarla a la mesa o avisarme que estaba lista entonces yo me paraba de vez en cuando a chequear si la comida estaba lista. 4 admiro la competencia y nuestra cultura pero si voy a un restaurante a comer no quiero oír 4 hombres adultos estallando dominós tan alto que parece como disparos de armas de fuego. Deberían de mover la mesa de domino afuera. Y lo ultimo es que no tienen condimentos pregunté por ketchup y no tenían nada. Ojalá espero que el dueño arregle estas condiciones porque de verdad no veo ningún otra gente de otra cultura aguantando todos estos fallos que no sean dominicanos.

  I work near Los Hermanos in NW DC, and eat lunch there often. Me and my son went to Mechos, near Costco, to taste cakes for a catered event. We tried their four Yellow cakes topped with whipped frosting. Guayaba (Guava jelly) was tasty and tangy. Pineapple had little chucks of fruit in the filling. Dulce de Leche had caramel filling. Tres Leches was moist and sweet. My son voted for Tres Leches, then comenced to eat the rest of all of them! Mechos has great vibes. Baseball on the TV, Salsa on the speakers, and the fellas playing domino's on the outside patio. Everyone smiling and enjoying themselves.

  Food is ridiculously expensive. I didn’t know beans and rice was a delicacy. Prices are proportionately high. I was charged $7 for a Malta India, a six pack of this sugary drink at Giant is $7 dollars & change. Tables are always dirty, no waitress service, but still you get charged as a five star restaurant. Place is unsanitary, poor service. I got an order for two, just beans and rice, a protein, 1 Malta and 1 modelo $70 dollars. You do the math, next time I’ll go to Olive Garden. This is pure extortion!! Will never return.

  I don’t visit as often as I used to, but this is still one of my go-to spots in DC when I’m craving a taste of home. I’m from Puerto Rico, and in my experience, Puerto Rican restaurants around the area are either too far or just don’t quite hit the mark. Mecho’s, even though it’s primarily Dominican, really captures that nostalgic Caribbean flavor for me. The food is consistently fresh, well-seasoned, and comforting in a way that reminds me of home cooking. You can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients, and it shows in every dish. My only downside is the dining space itself. It can feel a bit cramped, and the seating isn’t the most comfortable, especially if you’re a bigger person. Because of that, I usually prefer takeout. Overall though, if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Caribbean food in DC, Mecho’s is definitely worth checking out.
