Agua 301 Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
I want to thank our server Terrence for his great hospitality. His service felt like a 5 star restaurant. The drinks and food were great but the service was exceptional! My husband and I will definitely be back with our friends and family.
Had a intimate vacuum discussion and a flight of frozen tequila drinks. Both are not probably related. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and served quickly. The bartenders are also friendly and funny and relatable. Great happy hour m-f and worth checking out, I plan on coming back for sure.
Came for happy hour on a Wednesday evening. We sat outside. It was kind of chilly so someone lit the fire pit, at our table, for us We ended up parking in the parking lot, which is a few businesses down Restaurant overlooks the water/bridge. We saw black hawk helicopters doing training exercises a good bit Our waiter was cool, but unfortunately we didn't see him but once after we placed drink orders, and so we and another table weren't able to order more food and drinks until after 630pm of which HH was over Nachos were delish!!! I literally ate the entire plate lol Beef empanadas were just okay Baja Fish tacos were tasty! Chicken wings are okay
Located right on the Anacostia river which produces great views during the day and night. Service was fast but it was a little empty (that's ok). The menu has options that I believe cater to everyone's appetite and the HH special..can't beat it. Now to the drinks. The frozen machine needs to be inspected. I could not drink my drink for about 15 mins receiving it because the frozen margarita was so thick that I could not use the Straw or appreciate the flavor. The sangria or margarita in rocks might be your best option. But I do recommend this place for HH.
Great location on the water. Taco Tuesday for the win! I tried four kinds and they were all great. The beans lacked flavor and the Blanco ceviche wasn't well served in my opinion, the large pieces of onion and tomato made it hard to easily eat with a chip without looking like a heathen. The guacamole was great.
Checked out this taco spot after a Nationals game to let the traffic die down. The chips and guac were solid, but the tacos were great! While not the most authentic, they had a wide selection of tacos to choose from. My personal favorites were the Baja Fish Tacos that had a great beer batter outer layer. Nice spot that's by the water for some food after a game. Apps: Chips and Guac Entrees: Baja Fish, Mango Shrimp, and Bistec Azul (steak) Tacos Sides: Rice and Black Beans Drinks: Frozen Mango Margarita
I came to Agua 301 after a boat outing with friends at the DC warf. We were a group of about 10 so I wasn't sure whether we were going to get seating. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted at the door. The ambience was casual and the noise level was on the moderate to loud side. The service was great, especially given our large group. Mango Shrimp Taco: 8.5/10. The salsa that they put on top of the shrimp was good. But the shrimp itself lacked flavor. Baja Fish Taco: 9/10. This taco was overall good. However, they didn't put enough of the salsa on it. Pork Belly Al Pastor Taco: 9/10. The Al Pastor was seasoned well but it was a bit overcooked. Classic Margarita: 10/10
