   Excellent food, drink and amazing service. Our waitress Amena went beyond to celebrate our friends 50th bday. The manager and bar tender were courteous, addressed all our needs. Food was delicious, we tried lot of starters, empanadas, yucca fries and arapa's were very good. Nacho's was okay. Drinks were amazing good. Ambience is ok but the music and energy takes over everything else. Highly recommended.

   Overall a great experience. Food and drinks are nice and authentic Latin American. Service was excellent and friendly with an Argentinian touch. Great ambiance for a fun dinner with adults and kids! Will do it again.

   This place is quite deceptive. The setup for this restaurant is more of a bar, it’s small, narrow & to be optimistic intimate. If your expecting a intimate dinner, go earlier in the day, food is decent but prices are racy. Drinks are weak, margarita pitchers are full of sugar & drink mix then any tequila at all. The service isn’t really attentive, the vibe is really energetic. Young crowd, there’s better, more classier places to get Latin food, with great service. I guess this place will do for drinks & bar food with a Latin twist. But pretty meh at best

   We were celebrating our girlfriend birthday. This place is so amazing. The staff is generous. The security guards are very protective. It was freaking amazing. I am coming back with all my friends.

   The food isn’t bad. Comparable to typical bar food. The drink specials are delicious. The best part is the free salsa lessons downstairs.

    Vibes were immaculate, get the Jose Cuervo bottle special for 100 dollars. Friend fell in love with the bartender upstairs,they have strobe lights and disco balls at their disposal for the party to use. Limes, Birds, and Lyfts littered on the sidewalk for the party to use after their meal and drinks. 10/10 would recommend.

    I took my family there as a pre-Birthday Celebration. We love our Latin music and our food! So imagine our surprise when we felt like we stepped into a Caribbean vacation on a cruise or resort. The atmosphere was comfortably chic and music sooo good everyone was feeling the beat, including my autistic teen!! We are sure to make it a stop every visit to DC!

    The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced, the attention in the other hand wasn’t that’s good, our server was spectacular and manage to take several tables at the time so she ended up saving the night but the gentleman tending the host stand was rude and not only with us but with other costumer as if he didn’t wanna be there, to the point of almost fighting another guest, I’ll be back h hoping this incidents don’t repeat.

    Cafe Citron was a delightful experience altogether. My wife and I enjoyed a very well prepared and well served Latin meal (chicken stew for her, garlic shrimp for me) in a pleasant and interesting restaurant by the bar. Then danced the night away downstairs, with a superb salsa instructor on hand to keep the party going. At least one other couple were as old as we (or almost), and the crowd overall was diverse, friendly, and happy. We would go back again in a minute. Muy bien, Citron!!

    Very, very noisy - it's a salsa bar / night club so no surprise really. It's a fun place just don't expect to do any talking! Music is fun, lively (and friendly) crowd. Awesome Mojitos. Caipirinhas, ceviche and guacomole-

    Went here to watch WC. last minute reservation and had no problems getting a seat. Service was excellent considering that it was packed. I loved the food..had the pork with r&b tacos and empanadas. Drinks were onthe sugary side.

    We were a little disappointed because the guacamole wasn't as exceptional as it had been on our last visit. The waitress suggested that a lack of ripe tomatoes was the cause. We got a variety of starters -- empanadas, ceviche, coconut shrimp -- and many drinks. Our first order of beef empanadas was chicken, as the second order confirmed. The music was loud and crowd energetic.

    Made the mistake of going here for Valentine's day. There is no Valet, among other things that is advertised. They need to spend a few dollars on accomondations, if you go bring your own chairs and food. The dancing is in the basement; bring a flashlight so you can see in the dungeon. Avoid this place!

    Received a warm welcome on a very cold night. My girlfriend got the garlic shrimp and coconut-coated chicken. I got the Tex-Mex burritos, which came with black beans and rice. We got a special side dish: French-fried potatoes with garlic and cilantro. Everything was delicious and the servings so generous that she took good portions of both her appetizers home while I couldn't finish the beans and rice. Our waiter was very friendly and accomodating, bringing us a couple portions of habernaro pepper sauce to spice up our dishes. Bar service was a little slow, but the drinks were worth the wait. The spicy margarita I started with was so good that she got it for her second drink, after starting with a mango martini. We will return.

    Our group of 4 was ready for a fun dinner. The drinks were good (and a steal at happy hour prices). However, service was slow when the restaurant was not very busy. And the food was OK to bad. The plantain appetizer is good, but stay away from the empanadas (lead weights). Requests to make something spicy or put cheese on the side were ignored, and our server disappeared for long periods of time.
