" Mission Dupont delivered a great experience, overall! My family and I chose this restaurant due to its trendy reputation and vibrant atmosphere. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the nachos and tacos. While I enjoyed my carne asada tacos, others found theirs a bit bland. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things. The highlight was definitely the margaritas, which went well with everything. Waiting times for our food were reasonable, considering the crowd. Would probably visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last visit to Mission Dupont Circle was underwhelming. I've been a fan of their food, but my recent experience wasn’t as good as before. I ordered their chicken burrito, but it seemed dry and lacking flavor. The service was friendly, but it took longer than expected to receive our food even though it was a quiet night. I hope maybe it was just an off night for them, as I have enjoyed other visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Mexican restaurants, but Mission Dupont Circle really stands out with its vibrant atmosphere. I went there on a Friday night, and I was amazed by the lively crowd and music! We ordered a variety of dishes including the nachos and salsa. While the nachos were good, they didn’t quite match up to the exceptional quality of their margaritas. The only downside was to expect slower service due to the crowd, but it's easy to overlook with the great food. I’d say it’s worth a visit, especially for happy hour. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mission Dupont Circle was a delightful surprise during our stay in DC! We were welcomed immediately and offered several drink choices. I tried the traditional margarita, which was delightful, not to mention their crispy taco trio! Each taco was full of unique flavors, but I found the grilled chicken to be my favorite. The service was attentive and helpful as well. I really appreciated how quick everything was served, especially given how busy the place was that night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though the food was good at Mission Dupont Circle, we experienced a long wait for our drinks. We had a large group, and the server seemed overwhelmed. Still, the plates came out hot and fresh, and the taste made up for the wait. I really liked the grilled shrimp tacos, and my friends enjoyed their burritos. I'd recommend checking this place out but maybe on off-peak hours for a smoother experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't know what to expect from Mission Dupont, but it turned out to be a delightful experience! The vibrant decor immediately made me feel at ease, and I loved the variety of drinks available. We opted for the taco platter, and each variety brought something unique to the table. The beef birria tacos stood out for their rich taste. The service was friendly, although it got a bit slow as the restaurant started to fill up, but that’s to be expected on a busy night. Overall, this place is worth visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrating my best friend's birthday at Mission Dupont Circle was such a fantastic idea! We were seated promptly, and the ambiance was perfect for a celebration. I highly recommend trying their margarita pitchers—they are the ultimate crowd-pleaser! The nachos were massive and shared among the table easily. Something that stood out was their churros; they were crispy and perfectly sweet. Every bite was enjoyable, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
