Playa Ocho Cantina

Eastern Market, Capitol Hill

514 8th St SE, Washington, DC

Drinks

Sangria's included in the $25 bottomless deal, and while we meant to try the mimosas at some point for the sake of this review, well, the sangria's really strong and we forgot.

Food

3.18

The breakfast options are largely what you'd expect — various egg options with a side of toast, home fries, and, as were told, "a choice of bacon or sausage, except we're out of sausage, so it's not actually a choice" — but choices open up with the full menu, and we even endorse a rare foray into the dessert options, with the coconut tres leches cake.

Service

3.30

Small bill snafu aside, being the only table in the restaurant's a great way to ensure frequent sangria refills with little regard for a time limit.

Ambiance

2.72

Tortuga Bar and Grille's restaurant group turned it into Playa Ocho earlier this year, although it's unclear what they really did beyond swap out some art and add huevos rancheros to the brunch menu, so you can just read our ambiance review from last year. Given that our only fellow occupant for most of the meal was someone tasked with taking pictures of the entrees for Playa Ocho's website, early returns aren't promising.

A single mimosa option's all that's on offer, but with saffron and some other mystery ingredients it doesn't get tiresome, and just as importantly, it's included with a brunch entree for the low, low price of $32.

Classic brunch items are on offer and quite generously portioned, but if you're into beach-adjacent animals, we'd endorse switching over to the main menu

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