First time at Casa Teresa, and absolutely loved it! The restaurant has a vibrant atmosphere, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. The waitress took her time to explain the concept of the menu and offered us recommendations on a few of her favorite dishes. She did a splendid job, ensuring that there was no cross-contamination with gluten, which I truly appreciated. We decided to try a variety of items from the menu. Some of my favorites were the ensaladilla, grilled vegetables, and the grilled potatoes. My sister lived in Barcelona for about two years, couldn't stop raving about how the food reminded her of her time abroad. The octopus and steak, however, were a bit overcooked for our liking. Nonetheless, these are minor things that could easily be improved. The tarta de queso was good though I've definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, the ambiance, the friendly staff, and the delicious food make Casa Teresa a place worth trying and returning!

A delicious lunch at Casa Teresa took me back to my years living abroad. As we ordered a variety of tapas, my family and I sampled the restaurant's take on some of Spain's classic dishes, like the Ensaladilla Famosa and the Pa Amb Tomaquet. Every dish I tried was just delightful :) A special note: I didn't try their octopus due to an allergy restriction, but there were some complaints at the table about the texture being too rough. The service was excellent. Our waitress took the time to explain the menu while taking into account the dietary restrictions. The restaurant has a beautiful space with plenty of seating areas indoor and outdoor. I'm already looking forward to visiting Casa Teresa again.

My fiancé casually mentioned he made dinner reservations for Thursday night, and I was thrilled. I assumed it was to make up for the lackluster dinner we had two nights back--nothing suspicious there! He told me it was a Spanish restaurant, and I thought, "Perfect, he knows I'm a Spanish cuisine fanatic." We ended up at Casa Teresa, a cozy Spanish spot that's equally perfect for happy hour with colleagues, a first date, or celebrating special occasions. It instantly whisked us back to a restaurant in Barcelona we've been longing to replicate here. We hit the jackpot with this gem! Everything we ordered was delicious, from the attentive waitress who ensured our four-course meals came in perfect succession to the satisfying, tasty dishes that didn't leave us overly stuffed. I wish I could share the name of every delightful dish, but here's my best attempt--even if my Spanish might need a little polishing!

I'd been in the mood for Spanish cuisine, so I was glad to find Casa Teresa, located adjacent to the The Square food hall. We had lunch reservations on a Friday, and they were not too busy. I really enjoyed the ambiance and decor--it's very pretty inside. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We opted for the lunch prix-fixe (menu masia), paired with a glass of wine. Though I did not care for everything on the prix-fixe due to personal preference, not quality, I enjoyed my meal. We each got an entree choice, and mine was the fish option, which happened to be the wahoo. My boyfriend got the flat iron steak. I'd never had wahoo, and our server compared it to mackeral. That is a completely incorrect comparison and while I thought service was good, that gave me pause. I'd compare more to monkfish, though with a less pronounced flavor. It was good, though, and so were the romesco-topped potatoes that accompanied the fish. My companion loved his steak and fries. We both were obsessed with the pan con tomato and the salad. Those were fantastic. I would drown in that olive oil for the bread. It was that good. The wines paired well with our entrees. I'm looking forward to returning to try more of the small plates and some cocktails and Casa Teresa is a welcome addition to DC.

Had dinner here with a friend for restaurant week and tried a variety of dishes from their menu. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and clean. We opted for a table inside near the threshold of the open windows. The open windows create a stunning blend indoor-outdoor dining space. How to Pa Amb Tomàquet - A creative concept with really good olive oil, crunchy bread, and sweet tomatoes. The server provided instructions on how to eat this which I appreciated. While I enjoyed the flavors, I would have preferred it pre-assembled rather than deconstructed. (4/5) Escalivada Catalana - Ate this with the pa amb tomaquet. The vegetables had a nice roasted flavor but I wasn't a fan of the mushy and slimy texture of them on their own. (3/5) Vasito de Gazpacho Andaluz - Not a fan of cold soup. While I appreciated the flavors in it, it reminded me of a Bloody Mary which I also don't enjoy. (3/5) Las Croquetas de la Dolors - Good crispy exterior with a creamy interior, but nothing remarkable. (4/5) Pescado a la Llauna - The fish was flavorful and had a nice texture, though it was a little overcooked and dry on the inside. (4/5) Corte de Cerdo Ibérico - The pork was tender and had a buttery texture that paired perfectly with the pre-assembled pa amb tomaquet. (5/5) Tarta de Queso - Delicious Basque style cheesecake. Light, soft, and flavorful. Great take on one of my favorite desserts. (5/5)

OVERALL: great food, fun experience, wonderful service. FOOD: Summer 2024 restaurant week menu - they give you all the apps 1. Escalivada Catalana (roasted eggplants and peppers): you can't even tell these are veggies. So flavorful and easy to eat. Soft texture. 2. Croquetas: classic and never disappoints 3. DIY tomate con pan: super fun to prepare this simple app. It came with an instruction sheet 4. Gazpacho soup: total miss for us. It tasted sour and just didn't sit well with us -mains: they have a vegetarian, pescatarian, and meat option. We got all 3 1. Meat: some steak (medium well) and pan con tomate. Hands down our favorite dish. I wish I remembered the names of the dishes 2. Pescatarian: fresh grilled fish with two sauces. The fish was my favorite. It was light but flavorful and filling. I just wasn't a fan of the sauces. One of them was a mayo-like sauce and I didn't feel it added any value to the dish. 3. Vegetarian: by the time we ate this we were so full but it was great. The plate itself looked like meat but it had beets and other veggies. -dessert: we share one 1. Cheesecake: it was really good but super heavy and must have had lots more dairy than I'm used to because it upset my stomach and I couldn't eat it. My partner enjoyed it though. VENUE: super cute restaurant, great for a date night. Dim lights, ample seating, and enough space for private conversations. There is also outside seating and light music playing

This was a cute tapas experience with an amazing wine list. It's nestle under office building so you have to be intentional when going but you won't be disappointed with seating and cute plates. Service was great and our server was ver attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend!

Located in this K street building it was great that parking was free (3 hrs) in the evening. It was easy to find a spot. The restaurant was very busy. Since we are not familiar with Spanish wines, we had the sommelier recommend us some wines, we went with a mineral forward wine Serras de Prioriat which was excellent and great quality. The food was nothing short of amazing, the quality of Spanish ingredient was outstanding.-Txistorra - long chorizo link was so tasty we ordered another. The smokey paprika and pork was just a match in heaven. The Gilda Claasica Rita Hayworth 1946 - The salt cured anchovie on skewer with pickled piquillo/piparra peppers and olives was small but pack full of flavor! Loved it. The croquettas de jamon - croquette with iberico jamon on top was so delicious. The iberico jamon de bellota plate was just outstanding. The pa am tomaquet was a fun starter with tasty bread and fresh tomatos. For dinner the lil one had Carne a la brasa from Roseda farm plus the patatas fritas. The steak was tender and juicy! All the fries were gone dipping in the mojo verde sauce and garlic aioli. For the main course we had the grilled fluke catalan style with some salad and romesco sauce, the fish was so fresh and juicy it was such a great main course with the wine!! The romesco sauce taste of freshly roasted hazelnuts it was delicious! Dessert wise we chose the El Flan de la Capitana and the tarta de queso. One was sweet and other savory, they were both excellent to try but I will say the flan is the best one I had in DC. It was so creamy but balanced sweetness and caramelization. Excellent service, food and vibe, I had enjoyed the experience.
