Alero Restaurant Dupont: Reviews & Ratings
Our favorite place in DuPont. Cozy Mexican food and the nicest workers. The fajitas are some of the best in the city.
I've been here multiple times and now and i get amazing service no matter what. The servers are beyond sweet and attentive. The food is amazing, I get the tacos every time. It's super colorful and vibrant inside. Would recommend to anyone, especially those who live in DuPont
Kevin is the bests ever ever!! He helped our large group have a wonderful evening!! Amazing food too
The staff are killing it here!!! Absolutely the best! The queso and frozen margs are the only thing I get...not cause I don't like the food, it's because the margs and queso are the best. I can only imagine how the food must taste if I can't get past. The queso and margs. lol The atmosphere is so fun and vibrant!!! Love this place
On a recent school trip, we brought 16 teenagers for dinner on a Saturday evening. The staff was accommodating and helpful, service was fast, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend for great Mexican food in a fun atmosphere with amazing service!
Met a friend here, during Happy Hour. Location is about 1.5 blocks from the DuPont Circle Metro Nice Happy hour, compared to the U street location I had a Sangria and Margarita. Both were tasty, except the Sangria was chock full of fruit. Made it hard to drink My friend had a sizzling shrimp & steak fajita. Gahhhhhh, I can still hear it now lol. Looked good, said it was. From 3 to about 430p, the restaurant was playing a mix of Beyonce, 90s Mariah Carey and other early 2000 pop artists, then it switched up to almost Mariachi Bathrooms are unisex and huge. They look like they used to be full on showers, then they took the showers out and kept everything else lol Decorative space, inviting & personable I would recommend!
Don't knock it till you try it! Alero is a lively spot right next to the metro that I always bring my friends to when we're in Dupont. The colorfully decorated Mexican restaurant is just as lively as it looks! It is clean, spacious, and has room for small to large groups. Their Happy Hour is a great deal with most items under $10 dollars each. My friends and I find ourselves always enjoying their margaritas, rolled tacos, quesadillas, and calamari. Service is fast and the wait staff are super friendly and inviting! Some of my favorite memories in the District were at this restaurant and I cannot wait till my next visit to Alero :)
