“Last night I had an incredible time at Kumbia, the DJs played the best music, my wife and I didn't stop dancing and we liked Ivanna's attention, that's why we always ask her to attend to us because she already knows what we're drinking ?thanks kumbia and thanks ivannita for the attention and affection... you are the best!!!“
“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.“
“Mama Chepas is fantastic and should be packed all the time! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days a week- no easy feat! Everything I've had there has been delicious. Favorites are Pollo con Tejadas, pupusas, fajitas, birria tacos, fish tacos, and bread pudding. Even their rice and beans are super flavorful! Portions are generous, prices are fair, and taste is outstanding. And the service is fast and friendly. It's easy to order takeout online as well. Don't sleep on this hidden gem!!! Let's make sure they stay in the neighborhood for a long time!“
“I had a late lunch and ordered the churrasco (skirt steak.) What I got was a riot of delicious flavors. The steak was topped with sautéed onions and parsley with a grilled Serrano. The last is not for the faint of heart. The sides included rice, pico de gallo and a South American version of mixed vegetables with a Peruvian green sauce in the middle. Freshly fried tortillas with cilantro chutney came separately. Did I say that it was all flavorful? The only thing I didn't like was the saltiness of the rice. While rice needs salt, it should never be noticeable especially to the extent of competing for dominance. This is why I had to dock a star. I should mention that my meal was gluten-free.“
“TLDR: The food was better than some "fine dining" I've had, but its a totally humble family diner.My God, the food. I personally tried the yucca con chicharron, masitas de puerco, lomo saltado, and a piece of tres leches, and can vouch for them all. The masitas de puerco was absolutely my favorite; the pork was so tender and the sauce was crazy savory. Truly I can't remember the last time I had something so good. If you are a fan of onions or pork I cannot recommend it enough.The staff was polite, attentive, and accommodating.I will say it is a bit small/there's not a lot of seating. We came after peak dinner hours (8pm) when it wasn't full, but if all the tables were full I could see it being a bit crowded and chaotic. Would be totally worth it in my opinion, but if that's not for you, just come later like we did.“
“We walked into this unassuming neighborhood restaurant in Bethesda after seeing rather positive reviews, and walked out pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, flavorful, but not overwhelmingly seasoned. We loved most of our dishes especially the seafood saffron soup, sautéed shrimp with garlic, octopus, grilled squid, stuffed Portobello mushrooms. Lovely desserts got the flan con naranja and the chocolate mousse cake. Highly recommended.“
“I am so happy to have a restaurant of this caliber in Friendship Heights. It's the sort of dining experience I expect to have downtown but I'm thrilled to have it just around the corner from my home. We came in without reservations on a Saturday night and had no problem getting a table (again, a place like this would be packed if it were downtown or somewhere like U Street). The food, cocktails, and service were great. Jose took good care of us. They are not kidding when they say the XL plates are meant to be shared--we split the short rib sandwich and it was massive. We ordered a few appetizers and the scallops with the toasted bread was our favorite (maybe ask for more bread so you can fully soak up that excellent parmesan sauce!). And leave room for dessert! We had the ube ice cream and it was fantastic.“
“I went to this place for a birthday celebration and I had a blast.. We ordered seafood soup baleadas and pupusas. It was all DELICIOUS. I also had Micheladas and must say is one of the best I’ve ever had.I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back to try the rest of their menu.“

“Los Primos is one of the most amazing tasting authentic Mexican food I have had here in Rockville MD!! My favorite dishes are the cheese quesodila, cheese Tamale, steak and chicken Fajita, and of course their Guacamole and salsa, and of course their famous Strawberry margarita. A special shout out to Ariel who works so hard to make this place so beautiful and thank you Ever for your amazing service! We will be back. Thank you Los Primos for an amazing experience ❤️“
“I really enjoyed eating at Samantha’s! I was so surprised to walk in and see a lot of families eating in there, which told me this was a popular spot with potentially a lot of returning customers. We ordered the argentine steak that was supposed to come with a chimichurri sauce but didn’t appear present on the steak, more so “flavored” chimichurri I guess.. and I ordered beef and ribs fajitas. The rice and beans were really good and tasty. I enjoyed my beef fajitas, but the ribs were a little too saucy and more American bbq tasting than Latino style. I see that they have a pork ribs entree on the menu which I may try next time to see if they’re any but different than the fajitas.I really liked that they had a large menu with many options so we can try different stuff each time we come back. Will be returning soon with local family!“
“Been here dozens of times over the years. And the rumors are true. Easily the best pollo a la brasa place in the area. Chicken and sauces are reliably excellent and very reasonably priced. Feeding a family of four with room to spare for $22 is something you can't even do at McDonalds these days. Sides are limited in variety, but they're ok. Only gripe is the fried yuca is often chewy, hard, and/or dry. But skip that menu item, and you'll be fine.“
“Tried Maria's yesterday after reading about it on the Support MOCO restaurant FB page. They didn't steer me wrong. Lovely little cafe with delicious food. I had the chicken fajitas- they were fresh and delicious with rice, beans, tortillas, and their homemade guacamole. I was in heaven. Will definitely be coming back. A lot.“
“A Mexican restaurant with some surprises. One of us got cajun jambalaya. Not Mexican. Not bad. I wasn't looking for a touch of New Orleans, but they nailed the sauce, with chicken and shrimp cooked just right. Our other dishes were traditional: shrimp fajitas and chicken fajitas. Again properly cooked and seasoned. Plenty of components to add into the tortilla wrapper. We finished with tres leches dessert. Moist and sweet as it was designed. Is 4 stars harsh? I based it on other Mexican restaurants that are on this level. For 5 stars, I needed them to be a cut above.“

“We were a little hesitant because of how small the store front was but it ended up being absolutely delightful! We had the empanadas as an appetizer, they were delicious. The bread was such a great consistency, better than the best cornbread. I had the carne asada, and it was so fresh and delicious. All of the food was very authentic! I even tried a new drink, not alcoholic, it was like a tea that was cold but somewhat spicy. It was delicious !! We will definitely be going back for another round ;-) Service was very quick and polite as well.“
“Was pleasantly surprised with our meal here. Carne asada had good flavor, and service was good even on a busy night. Some negatives were that the taquitos sinaloa were plain tasting, and the table salsa was watery/lacking flavor. Having lived in Montgomery County for 10 years, Uncle Julio's in Rio Gaithersburg has been my family's go-to for Tex Mex over the years. We've not liked the direction they've gone recently with their menu or pricing practices, so hopefully Villa Maya can remain a great alternative for the foreseeable future.“
“Looking for an authentic Honduran food restaurant & this is it. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable about the food even though all the servers weren't from Honduras, but I was assured all the cooks are Honduran. The food was wonderful with large portions. One of the fish dishes was served as a whole fish, head & tail! It was amazing. The inside dining room is small. There is also an outdoor area.“
“I am home sick and just needed something tasty as comfort food. I had been craving nachos and looked up options for delivery. Lo and behold, J & J has nachos that don't break the bank and are tasty. I'm a fan of keeping simple food simple but they managed to do that while making very tasty nachos. It also included three sauces which kicked up the flavor. The delivery arrived super quick and was accurate so 10/10 for service.“
“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.“
“I can only tell what I have seen in this place. I haven't eaten here yet. I only come here for business. But I can tell you from what I see the place is crowded and when I look around the place everybody is smiling while they're eating and that indicates they are enjoyi g the food.“
“We had a large gathering of 14 for dinner. Everything was great. Immediate attention by our server, Patricia. Patricia was pleasant and patient. The food and drinks were served quickly. The food was delicious with huge portions. The brought out the birthday cake that we brought, sang, and took back to the kitchen for cutting and serving. We stayed and were never pressured to leave after dinner. It was a very nice experience and would recommend! Will definitely be back.“

“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“
“Absolutely amazing. I've been craving birria and when I saw that they had a birria pizza I was so excited. The green salsa was spicy and delicious ask my toddler he wouldn't stop dipping his piece in it. The birria it's self is juicy and perfectly seasoned. The Jamaica drink is incredible never had it till tonight. The staff are very friendly. Definitely coming back.“
“I was recommended this place by a long time local restauranteur. The owners of this truck are HIGHLY respected cooks in the county, especially the Olney area. I was a little surprised by the menu but ordered one item from each "side." I got the cubano sub which is more like a steak and cheese than a Cuban, and the carne asada platter. The food was truly outstanding and that cubano sub really blew me away. It's a delicious, unique take on the traditional Cuban sandwich. The carne asada was wonderful and the portion sizes were huge. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. You'll be full all day!“
“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.“
“This is our third visit to El Azteca. We had a great dining experience each time. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food selection is extensive and delicious. With a reservation they easily accommodated our group of eight. Fantastic margarita selection too!“
“The rostie burger special was good but the combo isn't worth it to me for $4 more since its just a handful of fries, if that, and nothing else. The ranchero wings were really good and spicy. Service was so-so I guess. I told the guy I was picking up an online order and he just looked at me, grabbed some napkins, and handed me the bag without saying anything. Atmosphere was fine I suppose.“
“We have been to Juanita's twice now...a true hidden gem! The family is so nice, excellent service and truly delicious food. The prices are extremely reasonable for the amount and quality of the food that you get. This time, we tried the beef, chicken, and shrimp fajitas, the carnitas burrito, and the chips and salsa (I wish they sold it in bottles). The chips were clearly made while we were waiting...I've never had any like them! Absolutely delicious and packed with flavor and freshness. We're adding Juanita's to our regular rotation :)“
“Loved what we ordered and atmosphere was great! We told our waitress we wanted the steak medium well and it came out perfect and juicy. My chanco con yuca was very flavorful and the nacatamal was great! The queso frito was fine but the tajadas could have been thiner and the tostpones were a bit under cooked and different than what I'm used to. But overall we all loved our meals. I also ordered a cacao that was amazing! We purchased some cheese to take home and some pastries. Will definitely be back again and will recommend to my friends.Parking: Parking free on Sundays“
“Absolutely adore this place. I went for my birthday this year and brought a group of 15. The customer service and food was 5 star. Kurtis the Assistant Manager helped me navigate seating and payment arrangements with ease. Jordan our server was a consistency friendly face, was highly attentive to our group, and provided exceptional customer service. In addition, the food is always incredible and delicious. I found our time there to be fun and easy.“
“The ingredients taste so fresh, and the presentation is well done. Wow! Very nice. I love quality, tasty food.First time ordering, would eat again. Pictured: 3 chicken tacos and a 4 piece chicken quesadilla (takeout) such a great combination.“
“Local and authentic Pupusería. $6 for 2. Fresh and made to order, lots of options but I went with just bean and cheese and cheese. Service was friendly and fast. The restaurant is small on the inside but there's a pretty large outdoor covered patio. Definitely recommend and would be interested in their other offerings.“
“They need to work on their business etiquette when dealing with customers and answering the phone. Their Pupusas are very good! Their Carne Asada (Beef Filet) portion is big and tastes good. All of their dishes are made fresh in their food Truck. Again my only complaint is their business etiquette which is basically non-existent.“
“I love Don Pollo! I seem to live really close to one every time I move Their Peruvian chicken is just sooo tasty and you can smell just how good it tastes from the moment you step through the door. The staff greeted me when I walked in and took my order right away. I didn't have to wait long for my order. I ordered their Half chicken with two sides. My two sides were Chaufa rice and plantains! While the sides were really good, The star of the show, without a doubt, is their Peruvian chicken. Marinated to perfection with a blend of Peruvian spices and slow-roasted to achieve that golden, crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy and flavorful. Portion sizes are generous! I ate this meal for dinner and then lunch the next day! This location also has parking right out front and you can sit inside to eat if you want. They have small tables that are minimally decorated. Overall, will be back here again!“
“The best Tacos I ever tasted in the area; prices are very reasonable, living over 30 years in DC the flavor and service they deliver are excellent. I'm Peruvian but I can tell you this is a unique place for Mexican and Central American plates. ??????Vegetarian options: You can select yourself your choices.“
“I am stunned in how delicious this chicken was. I actually wish I would have ordered more. The chicken is so flavorful that you don’t need the sauces provided. I also got a chicken pupusa. It was bland but at the same time, I couldn’t stop eating it. It was stuffed with lots of chicken, which was pretty impressive. Service was great, food was better than expected. A must try if you’re around here.“
“Pound for pound in terms of price, still the best Mexican restaurant I have been to on the East Coast. The selection of meats make the difference. Goat, tripe, tongue, carnitas....you want it? they've had it sitting in a cauldron of tasty sauce all day, marinated and ready for you to eat. Go for the tripe taco, the goat burrito, or the plata especial with verdes pork. Wash it all down with Horchata.“
“Went there with a group of friends late at night, when almost all other restaurants in the area were closed. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was tasty. They had great music playing and the ambiance was nice. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“I decided to try something new from Uber eats. Long story short, I ended up ordering the same thing the next day and theeeeen I went to the actual restaurant the following week! That's how good it was lol. I ordered the steak and shrimp meal with refried beans and rice...cooked to perfection.“
“My steak & cheese sub was freshly made and quite good. The service was fast enough for a carry-out but I chose to eat in, sitting at one of the three available tables. It's a family-owned restaurant with both Chinese and Latino fare, its prices are reasonable and the parking is free! I will be back!“
“Place has a very chill environment. The cook is very sweet and polite. She made the food in prompt timing. She also served our food. My son and I went on a Thursday noon, it wasn't busy at all. Very quiet if you'd like to sit and eat in peace. Food was good, menu layout could improve perhaps add pictures to it to make it easier for people who aren't familiar with Latin food. A little more lighting and a little background music could be convenient too:)“
“Fantastic food, no-frills spot and reasonable prices.The pupusa revuelta and pupusa de frijol were both generously stuffed and absolutely delicious. I loved the equally generous portion of cabbage slaw with it, which was nice and tangy, perfectly cutting through the rich and cheesy pupusa.Be prepared to speak some Spanish (as with many spots in this neighbourhood).Will definitely be back on the next rainy day for another pick-me-up.“
“I loved visiting this bar and restaurant oh days I really need to relax with some good beers ? but at the same time be able to eat something delicious and then go to the dance floor to burn a few calories, the atmosphere is very happy and the staff are all very friendly and Attentive, I was impressed that the pupusas were so delicious, better than the ones I have eaten in a Salvadoran restaurant, the roast carnita 10 d10 we will return.“
“If you're on the hunt for an authentic and mouthwatering experience with Pollos a la Brasa, look no further! This hidden gem exceeded all expectations and left my taste buds dancing with joy. In addition to the fantastic food, the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and passionate about ensuring that every guest had a memorable dining experience.“

“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.“
“Awesome food and drinks...The fruit icy drunk was excellent!!!Burritos and tacos were great.I really liked the steak Burrito but wouldn't get it with lettuce and tomatoes inside next time because it takes away from the awesome flavors.“
“Mi Peru must be recognized for a metric that is often overlooked in charbroiled chicken joint reviews. The chicken, which is fantastic, is similar to Sardi's Don Pollo, etc... As is the sauce. But not enough reviews go over the quantity of the sauce. For dine-in chicken, Mi Peru is SUPERIOR because you get a FULL BOTTLE of green and yellow sauce 0n the table. Most other restaurants will nickle and dime you for every drop of their sweet ambrosia-like signature sauce. At Mi Peru they supply you with the very generous amount of INFINITY. If you are looking for a dine-in chicken experience that is superior by INFINITE measure, look no further than Mi Peru. The staff is also delightful.Kid-friendliness: Your kids will be treated like ROYALTY. The restaurant is family-owned and does seas0nal decorati0ns.“
“Fantastic! I got the birria beef tacos and my husband got the birria beef fries. Definitely couldn't be happier with how delicious our meals were! Mega bonus points for kiddos eating free from their kids meal selection.Absolutely plan on going back and trying more items from the menu!“
“We just came back from Azucar and had a great meal, great service in a great atmosphere! Carlos was so attentive and pleasant. All the tables were set perfectly and the glasses just shined like diamonds. Everything is so clean and welcoming. We can't wait to go back. We felt so welcomed and like family...what a great meal! Thank you so much!“
