14 Best Latin American Restaurants in Gaithersburg

“I went there on the Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t too busy. I ordered only plantains and it was delicious and cooked in a record time. The staff was respectful and friendly ; they had a large selection of empanadas. And i really like the atmosphere. Also they had some very good sauces. It tastes natural and homemade.“

“Went with a small group and the service was amazing. Friendly staff and owner with quick service. Food was delicious. I had pupusas, guacamole and chips, tamales with house made sour cream, and chicken. I definitely recommend you enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner here.“

“I came for lunch and was so in awe of individually hand painted booths. Take the time look around, you feel like you are in a gallery of Mexican history. I asked Grace for a recommendation and ordered a #1 Birria. Perfectly prepared, and moderately spicy, it was very filling. I also added a Birria Ramon, to go, for my sister. She loved it!!!
The family has a wonderful authentic restaurant concept, one meal at a time.“

“Had an amazing experience at Sardi’s. The staff and our server were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious and everything came out fresh and perfectly prepared. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. Highly recommend stopping !“

“Ok, I know I should have known better but evenings (8:30 pm) are a Latin disco fest with music videos and slightly loud music. The food it traditional and delicious and they offer bucket discounts for beers. Either way, don’t believe the Google reviews saying the price is $100+ As we grabbed to entries for $28 total. It was a bit to loud after our day, otherwise we would have hung out in the outdoor area.“

“Don Pollo is a hidden gem that delivers big on flavor and comfort. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rotisserie chicken sets the tone for a satisfying meal. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a perfectly crisped skin, and the sides—especially the, black beans & rice, and the pico de gallo garden salad—are flavorful and generously portioned. I even had to splurge for a beef empanada appetizer and it was crispy on the outside with a very savory season filling that hit the right spot!

The space is clean and welcoming, with a casual vibe that’s great for families or a quick solo bite like I had. Service is fast and friendly, and even though they were busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly. I especially appreciated the variety of sauces—each one adds a unique kick to the meal.

Whether you're grabbing takeout or dining in, Don Pollo hits the mark for quality, value, and taste. Highly recommend if you're craving Latin-inspired comfort food done right!“

“We are so pleased with this amazing restaurant! They are so understanding & so welcoming. We have been here 2 times & planning on going a 3rd time in the next few weeks!😄😄 Great service & food all around!“

“I went to Crisp and Juicy on April 23rd, in the evening alone. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a long time, so I was a little indecisive on what I wanted. The young lady that was at the register was as sweet as could be, and I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I wanted to order a platter for 2, and asked what her recommendation was to feed 2 people. So, I ordered what she recommended, and asked for a lot of sauce. The order came up quick, and I thanked her. Bless her. She gave me so much sauce. I just wanted everyone to know how much this impacted my evening, because my oldest daughter Ayanna loved your restaurant! She was murdered in 2020. She was 18 years old. This small act really touched my heart. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰“
