    Pedí un café en la mañana en taza, luego los empleados comenzaron a discutir enfrente de todos que no se podia entre ellos fue muy desagradable para toda mi familia. Una taberna española, en europa no se da to go cups se disfruta el café. No apoyan el reciclaje. Por otro lado me identifique como militar ciertamente es un restaurante que no apoya a quienes sacrifican tanto por su pais. A todos si regresan a Distrito T moblie favor evitar este rest el servicio es pésimo en la mañana.

    Bad customer service. Especially the host. We waited more that 40 minutes for them to get our order. Even with a reservation they did not have a table available inside. What’s the point of making a reservation if you won’t have a table. We wasted our time.

    Excelente velada. Buen ambiente y rica comida. Nuestro mesero, Josean, fue excelente al darnos alternativas de acompañamientos para los platos ordenados, cosa que no había ocurrido en las pasadas visitas al rest. OJO: los que vayan por el pulpo y los dátiles- como nosotros- tendrán la sorpresa que los eliminaron del menú. Esperamos que la ausencia sea temporera....

    Everything was on point as usual - we are usually into tapas and drinks - we had croquetas, cauliflower and meatballs as appetizers and arugula salad, pizza and salmon for dinner. Everything was very good. But they are off in the timing of the service - instead of having the salad and then the pizza - the salad came at the very end, very late. A salad late, really? I hope they work on that. Anyways still a nice place to visit.

    TMobile Distrito was fun and lively. Food was good but we found all the dishes were a bit salty. There was a big list of tapas, a bit pricey for the portion size, but comparable for the area.

    The food taste and presentation was average. The worst Spanish tortilla of my life. Service was average and had to be reminding the waiters to bring basic things to the table and the wait between dishes and dessert was not reasonable.
