Thursday, December 31 · 9 PM
Tonight
9 PM. The masquerade begins in the bar area.
Dinner for the whole family off the full menu, in the dining rooms, all night. Then the masks go on in the bar area: DJs, a countdown, and a champagne toast on us at midnight. The bar area is 21 and over after 9 PM with a $5 cover at the door, and we do not close until 2.
Early, it is a restaurant with a very good dinner and your whole family at the table. Late, the bar area is a masquerade. Same building, same kitchen, different volume.
Doors open, like any Thursday.
The full menu, for everyone, all ages, in the dining rooms. Reserve on Toast Tables for groups under 20, or call for anything larger. The dining rooms stay all ages the whole night.
The masquerade begins in the bar area, which turns 21 and over. $5 cover, paid at the door. DJs take it from here, Spanish and English, sound up.
The countdown, then a champagne toast, on us.
We close. Last call is 15 minutes before.
Masks: we hand out a limited number at the door while they last. Bring your own to be sure of one.
Most New Year's Eve dinners come with a set menu and a chicken-or-fish decision made for you in October. Ours is the full menu, the same as any Thursday. Molcajetes that arrive still bubbling in stone. Quesabirria. Fajitas. Tortillas pressed by hand that morning. The Birria Ramen, if you want to start the year full.
No drink specials that night, and we would rather tell you than pretend. The margaritas are the margaritas, 14 ounces, 18 ounces, or the 54-ounce Big Mami. The margaritas · The tequila bar · The menu
Reservations are for the dining rooms, through Toast Tables for groups under 20. The bar area does not take reservations on New Year's Eve. It is first come, first served, and it fills before 9. For 20 or more, call 301-569-4574 or book a room.

Private rooms are available on New Year's Eve. You get a room that seats 48 to 112 with its own sound and lighting from the DJ booth, a microphone and a large HDMI screen, your playlist or our DJ, and the kitchen on your side of the wall. Groups from 12. Holiday rates apply, and Tomas quotes them when you call.
Tomas replies within 24 hours with a formal invoice and a secure payment link. The deposit is the room fee. Rooms, photos and the tour are on private parties.
Pozole on New Year's Day is a tradition in a lot of Mexican houses, and it is a good one for the morning after. Tamales, pozole, birria and handmade tortillas all go home with you. Order ahead through catering with 48 hours notice, or grab them with takeout earlier in the week.
New Year's Eve is the last night of the Holiday Gift Box. Every visit from November 27 through December 31 sends you home with a sealed box. Bring it back unopened between January 1 and February 13 and we open it at your table. Inside: free margaritas, free dinner entrées, free appetizers, a free Avion shooter, free dessert, and one box somewhere in the stack holding a $500 gift certificate.
So you already have a reason to come back on New Year's Day. We open at 3.
Fine print: boxes must be returned unopened between January 1 and February 13. One box redeemed per table, per check, for parties of 1 to 50 people. Cannot be combined with other offers. Boxes hold no cash value. Señor Tequila's reserves the right to cancel, void or change the offer at any time.
The Holiday Gift BoxOur Google reviews mention the DJ nights more than we expected. 4.6 stars across over 5,700 of them, and family-owned by the Rivas brothers, Roberto and Alex, in Germantown since 2015.
"What an absolutely amazing, electric place! The atmosphere is absolutely electric: the music (they had a great DJ who played all types of music), the dim lighting, and the perfectly used smoke machine, make for a great atmosphere! The bartenders are super responsive, attentive, and engaging!"
Book the early table on Toast Tables, eat properly, and let the masks find you at 9.
