    One of the best Happy Hour deals in the area, 4-8pm everyday for $8 cocktails (recommend the Espresso Martini), and very solid food in a vibe that’s reminiscent of Miami. Recommend the Cuban & the Croquetas!

    Unfortunately too expensive for such small plates. Taste is regular

    Guys, I really like your restaurant and the food is delicious, but your mojitos need some serious improvement. Why do you use fake lemon juice instead of fresh? And why don’t you muddle the mint like you should in a traditional mojito? If you make better drinks, people will come back. I hope you stick around and make better mojitos.

    I have never had a bad experience at Colada Shop! I’ve also been to their locations in Crystal City and Mosaic, service and food have been impeccable at all three. The servers have all been kind and take your order with a smile. I LOVE the goat cheese croquetta salad- to die for - and my boyfriend always gets a cuban which is always great too! Their coffee is great and strong, which I like! I hate when a latte is essentially so diluted with milk you can barely taste the coffee, which has never been my experience at Colada Shop. Would eat the salad every day if I could, can’t recommend enough!

    I have gone to this place quite a bit, today that changes. They refused to serve me 2 drinks and made up some fake law stating it was illegal. I had a coupon that had a minimum spend, so wanted to buy 2 drinks, more money for them. Instead they decided to make a fake law, keep in mind I was with a group of nearly 30 year olds and a lawyer stating that it is inaccurate. Very rude staff, and overpriced. RESPONSE : My friend was served 2 drinks, and I was not. Enforcing laws for one and not others is ridiculous.
