11 Best Latin American Restaurants in Gaithersburg

“I ordered the 3 beef tacos (tacos de Birria) that came with a consommé. Amazing. Service was fast and friendly. They are doing some facade changes out front, landlord? My husband had the chicken enchiladas and he really liked them. They give a green sauce with the chips that was very tasty. I would definitely come here again.“

“Staff is cool and attentive, and the food is fresh and tasty. Unique style of fusion food that I've really enjoyed. Chicken and tofu Korean rice bowl with sriracha and lime cream has been a go-to for me whenever I've gone here. This is a cool new joint in the Kentlands that is clean with plenty of seating.“

“A nice surprise really. My appetizers were the civiche with fried calamari and a cheese pupusa. Both were delicious. The calamari dish had tilapia in it which was also great. For my drinks (which were the real stars) I had a blackberry vodka mule and a Cranberry orange margarita. Both were well made.“

“Did a pick up order. The Steak sandwich was really really good and whatever bread they used was really good too. Empanadas were good but nothing special in my opinion, however I wasn't a huge fan of the dip, which seemed to be just sour cream. Calamari was decent but I wouldn't pay $11 for it again. Overall, pretty nifty little spot.“

“We were looking for a place close to a tournament our son was participating in. The reviews looked decent and the prices reasonable, so we decided to give it a try. This is the place where the locals go...and that's how we knew it would be good. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The waitress was very friendly and attentive until it got too busy for her. We ordered the chicken, fries, maduros, papusas, a quesadilla and a sandwich. None of us left dissapointed or hungry. If you are in the area, this is worth a stop in to eat.Dietary restrictions: This is a easy place to go if you eat gluten-free since so many of the foods are naturally gluten-free“

“Always quick and delicious, hot and juicy. I always place to go and the order is always right and never anything missing and it's always ready on time! I probably eat this like once a week. Their garlic broccoli is amazing, rice and yucca and also amazing. Ofc the chicken and I love their yellow sauce! You gotta try in the dmv.“

“Local Mom & Pop Peruvian Chicken Place W/heart We'd planned to go to another place but our plans changed unexpectedly. So we decided to try this chicken place instead. We'd heard good things from friends and as we walked in we smelled even better things, like their killer rotisserie chicken. Lunch for 2, a half a chicken, 2 sides and 2 soda was around $18, which isn't bad in today's economy. The chicken was tasty, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the Peruvian fried rice was decent. It was a clean looking restaurant and friendly staff. The Peruvian green sauce was delicious. I found dining hear to be a quiet and relaxing good lunch, on a Saturday afternoon. If you are interested and close by, check them out.“

“While on our way to grab some burgers, we caught a whiff of delicious chicken and decided to check out this chicken spot. Upon entering, we were pleased by how clean the establishment was. We placed our order and decided to take it home. The chicken was cooked to perfection - it was tender, moist, and full of flavor. We also enjoyed the sides the Yucca, macaroni and cheese, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and moist, but it lacked a bit in terms of flavor. Along with that, we also ordered a cheese empanada and a beef empanada. Both of them were delectable. Initially, we weren't given our empanadas, but the person who took our order saw how quickly we were leaving and ran after us to make we came back to the counter fetched for the empanadas. We were impressed by the customer service and the speed at which our order was prepared. The place was also very clean. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it to others. I will definitely come back here.“

“This is a tiny establishment that would generally not be ok my radar, but I drive by so often I figured why not. It's got quite a few tables, a lot of llama pictures, and a very cozy environment. It was bigger than I anticipated, but they had so much more options than chicken that most Peruvian places have. Our server was super nice and patient, even though she was the only one and there were a few tables to handle. I ordered papas de la huanciana, fried fish (I forgot what it was called), lomo sotaldo, and a tres leches. I *love* papa de la huanciana, but this is the only place that I've seen it on the menu so I was super excited. It tasted just like how I remembered it, when a friend made it for me years ago. The fried fish dish was so good! There are a few bones in it, but manageable. I didn't eat the lomo saltado, but it looked delicious. The tres leches is a must buy. I think this is one of the better ones I've had from all the places I've tried. Best part is, it was just the right amount of moisture in the cake, extra leche at the bottom, and every bite was perfect.“

“Visit this location for early lunch or Happy Hour it seems to be the right choice at any time! The food was flavorful and served quickly due to our schedule. Served the Flan as a birthday treat! Perfect finish for the experience. Warm atmosphere!“

“Great spot for sizable pupusas at around $3.25 each, that are served warm with coleslaw and tasty salsa, and can be packed lots of different great fillings!The tacos and some starters left a little bit to be desired, as the tortillas were a bit denser than I desired. The tacos ticos were not a dish I’d recommend and were served with so much lettuce and were simultaneously crispy and soggy. I’d be willing to come back and try a larger dish next time and get a taste of the home cooking I see other reviews about.The environment was lively and warm, and the serving staff was quick to respond to our needs and very nice!“
