Welcome to El Presidente, a festive, neo-retro eatery inspired by the cuisine of Mexico City in the heart of DC’s Union Market District.

A robust and creative menu highlights heirloom ingredients with a modern twist – abundant seafood, guacamole with king crab, a la carte tacos and shareable plates like Snapper Chicharron. At the bar, you’ll find a bright, agave-forward tequila and mezcal program featuring avant-garde cocktails, interconnected with dramatic dining rooms. With legendary south-of-the-border hospitality at its heart, El Presidente encompasses the theater of going out.
