Drinks

1.72

Given that the entrees cap out at $15, you're effectively paying at least $30 for drinks as part of the $45 ($50 on Saturdays) inclusive bottomless deal. The mimosas are strong, but at that price, you need better add-ons more than a sugary margarita

Food

1.66

The typical Mexican fare is entirely unmemorable, and for the expensive all-inclusive price, you'd think chips and salsa wouldn't cost extra.

Service

2.16

Our server was very keen on us leaving our table in time to squeeze in another party of brunch revenue, but then left our credit card untouched for 15 minutes. At least that gave us time to finish one last pitcher of mimosa and, hey, it's the drink service we're really here for.

Ambiance

2.67

The party brunch scene at 1:30 (p.m.) on a Sunday is a unique vibe. But the rooftop's a little too obviously Instagrammable, and the charm wears off after sitting a few hours in El Techo's very uncomfortable seats.

Balos Estiatorio Review

Balos Estiatorio

Dupont Circle

3.37

The bellinis and mimosas have a respectably small tinge, and we appreciate the straight champagne option, but it's really the espresso martinis — six different options, freshly made at a cart wheeled over to your table — that salvage the price.

Han Palace Review

Han Palace

Georgetown

3.11

Han Palace offers a full dim-sum experience; we found Option A quite filling at $38 a person, but if you're feeling particularly extravagant, you can upgrade to Option B and get Peking Duck for brunch.

Baby Shank Review

It's a good thing the $30 bottomless deal comes with the freedom to pour your own champagne and multiple flavors, because we're 99 percent sure the "orange juice" was SunnyD.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
