ChicatanaA-

1400 Meridian Pl NW, Washington, DC 20010 · Mexican restaurant, Burrito restaurant, Caterer · Columbia Heights

Inventive Mexican with adventurous touches, excellent drinks, and lively vibes; great tacos and moles, but occasional service delays and sweetness-heavy cocktails; good value at happy hour, full menu leans premium.

Why this grade

Chicatana delivers A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by standout tacos and moles, paired with strong service attentiveness and a respected mezcal program. Consistency shows occasional variability and the setting lacks destination appeal, preventing the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. Solid execution across dimensions makes this a competitive neighborhood destination for contemporary Mexican cuisine.

One caveat: Happy hour billing is strict to the minute; review your check
