I'm so excited about this new little gem in Campbell! The vibe is great.. the food is great.. the drinks were yummmm!We ordered way too much for the for of us, but we finished it all and were super content leaving!The street corn was creamy and flavorful. The Hamachi shots were a surprise on the menu and delicious. Guacamole was fresh and right level of spicy.Street tacos, order the beef (steak) - you won't be disappointed. The enchilada was very tasty and a very safe choice.

Went in for a late dinner. From the experience of calling to get a reservation and the service at the restaurant, everything was great. The host (Kendrick) communicated well and had a truly welcoming attitude.Food and cocktails were delicious and served with care (by Dennis). We will definitely be back!

Being a long weekend we were not in a hurry to get up early next day it's Sunday. We wanted to have good cocktail, bar bites & enjoy our late night just then we remembered our earlier experience here which was fantastic so thought of going.By the time we reached around 8.30 pm we saw the restaurant was fully packed (even the bar area) so went ahead & gave our names to be added in the waiting list we were informed it will take around 1 hr so we went for a stroll.As the hostess informed us they will text us once the table is ready it was very easy to track our number with the text msg they sent us which we really liked it....We enjoyed the free live music going on in the nearby area crowd was fun to watch as everyone was dancing & singing we had a blast & then we headed back to the restaurant thought of enjoying few drinks while waiting near the outside area...As we came back we checked the bar ...still the bar area was full no empty seats, the hostess asked us ...Is this ur first time here ?? We said no it's our 2nd visit.... We loved our earlier bar experience so thought of revisiting she was so happy to hear that... then she asked us would u like to order some drinks while ur table is getting ready we agreed thought ok let's enjoy whatever table we get.... Doesn't matter....so we ordered a couple of drinks while settling down in the waiting near & within few mins our table was ready (that was quick we thought) we were seated outside near the main entrance which was so nice since it was quite chilly the heaters kept us nice & warm throughout the evening....As soon as we sat our waitress Sandra came & introduced herself we told her we have already ordered few cocktails while waiting so she went & checked our drinks which were already made & ready to be served....My husband ordered 24 CARROT - reposado tequila, carrot juice, orange juice, lime, habanero honey.I ordered FAMOUS AND ALMOST NAKED -strawberry mezcal, strawberry Campari, caprano antica.Both the drinks were fantastic we enjoyed every sip listening to the fabulous music.....For bite we ordered Street Dog - EL JEFFEall-beef hot dog wrapped in bacon, grilled steak, cheesy sauce, jalapenos, pickled onions, and fries.I was little skeptical seeing so many jalapeños...( I remembered my last encounter of jalapeño at some other restaurant it was a nightmare....extremely spicy ... I had a difficult night & morning...) so was thinking of skipping it but my mind was like don't assume have a small bite & check it out first ... so glad I did it because it was not at all spicy in fact it gave a very crunchy & flavorful taste it was an awesome experience!!!!!Again it was fantastic... only sad part was to share it with my better half ......what can I say I just love hot dogs...Our waitress Sandra comes & checks on us ... do u need anything... I see ur glasses empty... do u need more drinks..??? Yes , please we would love to...!!!So my husband repeated his drink again 24 CARROT ... he is obsessed with this drink from our last visit... only thing is (I would have to learn it so that I can make it at home soon) this is me thinking in my mind... well will figure that out later ... for now let's enjoy !!!!I went for HERMANAS FUMADORAS -vida mezcal, yellow chartreuse, cane, orange bitters.I loved this one more then my earlier cocktail.It looks simple but nice flavors it suited my palate more.Anyway I love mezcal so I try to taste whenever possible....Since we were little hungry then we thought so ordered from the Taco Special QUESSABIRRIA-beef quesadillas comsume, slaw, tomatillo and habanero salsa.We devoured every bite,along with the various sauces & the comsume . I asked for a spoon so that I can finish it didn't wanted to waste.We enjoyed chatting with Sandra & both the hostess who checked on us frequently we loved it..We enjoyed sitting outside it was a wonderful. We loved their customer service will definitely come back soon to enjoy other eating options along with our favorite cocktails. We love the vibe here.

9/27/24Distrito did not disappoint tonight. Cocktails and food were on point as always. We felt the Lucid Dreams were just a scootch 'light' this time. Maybe it was a new batch that didn't have time to mature. It was still delicious but just a little light and not quite as full in the glass as usual. We're just happy to have it as an option! The Dulce De Leche Bread Pudding was tasty. It had a nice crispy exterior but it was a little watery. We think if they use maybe a thicker cream it will be stellar. It tasted like a churro. We LOVE Distrito and we recommend them to everyone.-----------------------------------------7/27/24Consistency 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!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------March 2024We arrived on Friday night without a reservation for 4 people and we were a little surprised at the 2 hour wait, but after trying to get in to other restaurants on the street, quickly realized it was a standard wait time. We are SO glad we waited!Distrito Federal is an absolute gem! It is small but MIGHTY! The cocktails are the best we've EVER had! If Lucid Dreams is ever removed from the menu, I think we will be physically ill! It's indescribable and the difficulty to craft it with the complexity of the brewing, fermentation, and purification is worth the wait (the cocktails take time to be delivered to the table), the money, and the chance you might be a bit tipsy after drinking it! It's the cleanest, smoothest, softest, most delicious blend of multiple different alcohols you'll ever taste. You CANNOT taste any alcohol. It is just lovely. The Cure for the Cause is ALSO FANTASTIC! It is so complex that you cannot identify the different flavors on your tongue at any given time. It is also a blend of multiple ingredients that are so balanced It's unreal. It's no wonder the Mixologist is award winning! They can also make wonderful mocktails if anyone in your group isn't drinking (too bad they are missing out in the real thing!). ;)Now, let's get to the food. I personally don't eat red meat or pork, nor can I eat cilantro so I was a bit of a complex customer for the chef. Most items are marinated in cilantro or it cannot be removed from the item so just know going in that it might be a little challenging to find an item but once you do it will be FABULOUS!We were all beyond satisfied with everything that was ordered and cannot wait to return! Everything was fresh, flavorful, crisp when it should be, soft when it should be, generous portions, and had the perfect amount of heat. The desserts were tasty as well but what stood out were the churros!!! DELICIOUS!!!Isaac is so personable and knowledgeable about the industry and the food he has created. He is a doll and makes you feel so welcome!! We truly loved our experience and can't wait to return. Words for the wise, this is not really a place for children if you are able to get a sitter do so and enjoy! It's adult food and adult drinks and the space is very small so family night might be better elsewhere.

We finally were able to try this smaller spot in Campbell and overall it was a very nice experience! They have a very creative bar with some fun concoctions and the manager Kendrick was helpful in chosing. The staff was attentive and interior decor was cool. What blew us away were the taco plates! We ordered the Birria and Chicken Tinga and both were fantastic. We will definitely return to try other things.
