Amparo Fondita

Amparo Fondita was such a unique Spanish food experience in DC. The vibe is absolutely awesome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is lively, colorful, and full of character. The service was great and the staff made us feel very welcome. The flavors were bold and different in the best way. You can tell a lot of thought goes into every dish. Definitely a spot I would come back to again. Highly recommend if you are looking for something unique with great energy and quality food in Washington, DC.

Starting off with the plantain empanadas really set the tone for the rest of the meal because wow!!! Mind you, I’m not even the biggest fan on plantains (which sounds crazy because I’m Nigerian) but they were so good we almost got another order. We also got the camarones a la plancha (grilled head-on prawns) to start and they were huge, cooked perfectly, and had great flavor. Also was tempted to get another order of this. The quesadillas were okay to me but they reminded me I prefer protein based quesadillas. The barbacoa was rich and flavorful. I didn’t try the mushrooms but my friend seemed to like them. We got rice and squash as sides as well and they were good. For desert we got the tres leches and carrot cake. If I knew they were that huge, would have probably said we should get one

We visited Amparo Fondita during their special collaboration with 2fifty Smokehouse, and the food was incredibly delicious! It was so interesting the way how version… pupusas were full of amazing flavor and richness. The restaurant itself has such a delicate and warm atmosphere really beautiful and welcoming. The only thing that could’ve made the experience even better was if our server had been a bit friendlier. 10/10

Visiting Washington DC for a conference, stumbled upon this place and it did not disappoint! The fish tacos were sensational, we ate some of the best guacamole I’ve ever had and the desserts were out of this world! Delicious cocktails and great value for money. If I could leave more than 5 🌟 I would. Our waiter, Jerson was lovely. What a fantastic restaurant

First dining here and as a Mexican, this place is amazing. The food was delicious from the drinks all the way to desert. Our server Jerson was very nice and attentive, he explained they have a new menu each seasson, which has be excited. I can't wait to see what's next. I cannot recommend Amparo enough!!
