I had such an amazing time here ! The food was delicious and well priced. The service was very amicable. I enjoyed trying their speciality cocktails. It was an overall very enjoyable experience and very authentic. I appreciate any Latin restaurant that follows through with authenticity. Can't wait to come again!

Tacos were pretty good. The vibe was fun and felt like we actually had a night out. We sat at the bar. It is a small space so they let you reserve seats at the bar which is nice. The bartender was attentive.

Distrito Federal is a cozy, intimate spot with a stunningly beautiful interior. The dark and stormy ambiance sets the perfect tone for a girls' night out or a romantic date night. Despite its smaller size, the vibe is warm and inviting, and the amazing staff makes the experience even better. The drinks? Absolutely top-notch. I may have indulged in one too many, but honestly, I couldn't resist--they're just that good. Prices are on the higher side, but they reflect the freshness of the ingredients and the generous portion sizes. We went as a party of four and started with some appetizers. The elote, chicken flautas, and queso (sans chorizo) were all incredible, but the elote stole the show for me. The corn tortillas paired with the queso were another standout--so fresh and flavorful! For entrees, we shared the taco trio (chicken, shrimp, and al pastor), chicken enchiladas with green sauce, ahi tostaditas, and chicken tinga. Every single dish was phenomenal. The tacos had just the right amount of kick and were perfectly seasoned. The enchiladas were hearty and satisfying, while the ahi tostaditas were light and refreshing. The chicken tinga hit the sweet spot with its balance of heat and spices. To top it all off, you have to try the lime-salted air margarita. It's an absolute must--refreshing and unforgettable! Overall, Distrito Federal delivers an amazing dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Celebrated a birthday dinner here. It is both stylish and festive inside - and was also decorated so cutely for the holidays. The food was shockingly good. Large menu with lots of beautiful cocktails and protein choices for tacos. The ceviche ($16) was fresh and beautifully plated and the guacamole ($11) was top notch. The Mole Chicken Enchiladas ($22) were divine. The corn tortillas (which seemed handmade) were filled with yummy chicken and cheese and generously smothered with a sweet, flavorful sauce. The staff were so kind to accommodate for the baby we had with us - even getting the baby a side of mashed avocado :) Nothing special is done for birthdays - but we didn't need more dessert anyways, lol!

This place is such a vibe! It's such a nice little bar/restaurant located in downtown Campbell. They have great Mexican food to choose from along with really nice drinks and desserts. The service is really good too. Every server we have had here has been very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend making reservations beforehand and giving yourself 15 min to find parking. I highly recommend this place when stopping in downtown. 10/10

Consistency is a factor we really appreciate, and Distrito Federal does not disappoint! We have brought many people here, and all have loved it. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. They are not in a rush, and they want you to enjoy your meal without feeling like you need to leave. The cocktails are always beyond fabulous and so well-balanced that you don't even taste the alcohol. The food is DELICIOUS and always fresh! I had mentioned before, the kale salad needed a little stronger of a peanut dressing, and they came through like a champ! It's tasty, spicy, and full of flavor. I tried the roasted Cauliflower tostada's and they were sooooo good! I just had them two days ago and I'm already salivating to go back! Thank you Isaac and staff for always making the experience top notch!

We stopped in for a few drinks on Friday night. Ambiance is A+, reminds of my favorite spot in South Beach. They have a creative and rather luxurious cocktail menu-- every drink hit every mark. For starters, the aesthetic is great, these are beautiful to look at, then they hit the nose. Whether it's bitter, spice, or the crisp fresh scent of summer fruit, I love an aromatic cocktail. Every drink is well balanced, from their classic margarita (tequila, lime and agave--I am a purist), to the Altered State & 24 Carrot. We ordered the Quesa Birria tacos--so good we returned again the following day. Service was excellent, Alan is the best. Highly recommend.
