"All too often I go out to eat in D.C. and feel like I?m just paying for the ambiance, and nothing else. That was NOT the case with Republic Cantina! This restaurant is super cute with a ?D.C. neighborhood/but am I in Mexico?? vibe. Our server was a puredelight and the food was off the chain. The Chicken Fried Chicken, Taco Norteno, Tres Leches Cake? even the chips and salsa?soyummy. And the prices had the nerve to be reasonable! This restaurant is now one of my top DC faves, and I can?t wait to go backand bring others with me. 5 stars!"
