I stumbled upon Tico’s just after Sunday noon and was glad I did. Their brunch was exciting, with many tapas sized options to try. I opted for the 39 brunch with bottomless beverages, and even took the chance to try their seasonal martini with cranberry and pomegranate. David, the bartender, was fantastic. Be sure to thank him for his prior service as a Navy Chief. And the chef, fantastic. Can’t wait to go back. If arriving after 1pm make sure you get a reservation. It was packed as I left.

They have very creative drinks and small plates here. -hibiscus margarita is innovative (but the salt killed it for me, it it all natural!!) -the monkey whiskey drink was superb Small plates: -squash was epic, however plan 15 minutes for it to bake! -cauliflower was good, but small! -calamari was a good size but too salty for several of us Service: -very attentive Photos as of October 2018.

Great place on the main strip of 14th street with good eats and drinks. The fusion between Latin food meets Japanese is spot on. Must order the hibiscus margarita.

Saturday brunch was amazing. We celebrated a birthday with about 20 people and the service was great and they had plenty of room for us. They brought out the different foods in waves and had enough for everyone. Their food is very well presented, tasty, and the right portion. Would recommend this for events and gatherings. As someone with a sweet tooth, the churros were overall a great experience and fun decor. Clean bathrooms, nice people, good food, good service.

Fun place in D.C to brunch! I came here on a visit from Houston and I was not disappointed. We did the all you can eat brunch & bottomless mimosas & margaritas. It was definitely worth every penny! The vibes are amazing! 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome bottomless brunch. Tried 3 of the cocktails and they were all very good. Lots of cool options on the menu. Tacos were my least favorite part, they were good but not amazing. The churros were fantastic with a whipped cream dip. Also really enjoyed the duck hash.

One of my favorite brunch places in DC. My friends and I planned a large bday brunch for our friend and the entire Tico staff were so accommodating. Unlimited food and drink comes out to around 45. A great deal for bottomless everything in the city. The drink menu consists of sparkling wine, mimosa, margaritas, and spicy/ non spicy Bloody Marys. Do yourself a favor and try all of them. They add a far amount of alcohol. Some of the brunch highlights include the following: -confit brisket and green chile hash -spicy mac n cheese -steamed vegetable dumplings - wild mushroom and cheese quesadillas - chipotle shredded tacos - roasted beets You definitely get a nice variety of brunch menu items. A little bit of carbs, vegetarian and meat dishes. Even with a packed restaurant the servers were great at making sure our table was full of food and drinks. I've dined here in the past for happy hour and so glad I stopped in for brunch. My friends and I really enjoyed our experience here. I'm very excited for Nama 14s new Asian fusion brunch menu. Highly recommend this place for brunch. Great ambiance, food options and a very friendly staff.

The food was awesome! I was shocked at my bill after ordering two drinks, a desert and three appetizers. So, just be prepared! This is an update! I went to brunch here a few weeks ago and the Duck was awesome! The fried chicken was pretty good, the slaw is spicy and the banana pancakes are good, but can be very sweet. Most of the servings can be shared, so bring a friend and get the bottomless mimosas! passion fruit!!!! Delicious!
