“My family and I have been coming to El Azteca since I was little. The food and the service have always been excellent. When I think of going out for dinner with my family, I always picture El Azteca—always. Highly recommended 👌👌“

“The Cadillac margarita was amazing and so was the chicken burrito bowl! The staff was very attentive and the food was priced well. very authentic and very amazing! 5 stars!!“

“DMV Taqueria food truck is highly recommended! It’s smart to call in your order as they’ve grown in popularity as the word’s gotten out. My neighbor loves their chicken quesadillas. My favorite is the shrimp quesadillas, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I understand the churros are a favorite too, though I’ve not personally tried them. The drive home is brutal. The food smells so amazing, I can’t park the car fast enough. 5⭐️“

“Been a fan since they were under the Tippy's sombrero...quality hasn't changed a bit in 40+ years...“

“I really should have taken a photo but I was hungry. I ordered the Honey Lime Sriracha Chicken Burrito Bowl. Are you kidding me? This dish was amaaaazing. From sweet to a bite of heat. And the bowl is huge! Looots of chicken. Way better value compared to Chipotle. And I will not insult and compare the food. Just how much you receive based on price. I hope they open more locations. This was delicious!!!“

“I've ordered a different item from the menu each time and have never been disappointed! Mi Casa is quickly becoming one of our regular spots!“

“Food was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Easy & convenient place to stop for a bite.“

“.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely top-tier deli. The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and the flavors never miss. Staff is friendly and quick, even during busy hours, and the place stays clean and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a sandwich, breakfast, or a quick bite, this spot delivers every time. Easily one of my go-to delis—highly recommend.“

“We ordered delivery from this place a number of times recently. The burritos are excellent. I like the wrapping and all the ingredients. We generally get chicken burritos, but have tried the beef as well. My wife likes the bowls and my son enjoys the quesadilla. I usually add the corn sauce, salsa, and the fajita veggies as well as the cilantro. The queso dip is also a favorite in our house. Highly recommend this place. Good value as the burritos are large enough for one person. Enjoy!“

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“

“Nearly every Saturday for the past 4 years we have been going to Ernestos. Yes, we are the old couple that sits in the same booth, orders the same food, and same drinks lol. Very exciting. I just wanted to take a quick second to shout them out. Their margaritas are amazing, their food is consistently great and the service is awesome. If you are looking for a locally owned great priced restaurant, look no further. Their happy hours are top notch and they give teachers a discount ❤️. Say hi to our girl Amy if you drop by. Ernestos Mexican Restaurant's MD“

“Food is Ok but the restaurant needs a good cleaning would be very nice if it was cleaned properly“

“Experience is awesome… please share the details and go have a taco“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“This is the best Cafe Rio I've been to in the DMV. One complaint: they're not located closer to my house! The folks behind the counter were nice and cheerful. The food was excellent as always. Great portions and fresh. I'll be going to Cafe Rio for years to come!“

“La comida mexicana el ambiente y la atención 👌👌👌😉😉“

“El hambienteuy sano y amigable y con muy buen servicio.“

“Been my new favorite spot last few months. The Carne Asada or Chorizo taco VERY GOOD. And very well priced.“

“Over the past 6-months or so, I’m becoming a regular at Compadres restaurant and bar. The food has been excellent on several visits, and the staff and regulars are real nice. On this visit (Jan 2026), I was just stopping in for a quick brew before a long evening. I’ve known some of the staff here, so I knew I’d be comfortable. The bar staff remembered my usual drink, which is always a welcoming feeling. They have a full bar. And they remembered my favorite dish, which I’ve ordered here only once before! I love birria tacos, and they make a terrific recipe. It’s tender slow-cooked shredded beef with rich savory flavors too complex to know all the ingredients. The beef picks up the sweet smokiness of mild peppers, perhaps chipotle, deeply-marinated for hours with herbs that i will guess as cumin, thyme, and others, and caramelized diced onion. It’s loaded with some queso into a folded soft corn tortiila, which is soaked in the marinade, then pan or griddle-seared. Or maybe seared and then filled? Either way, it’s a deeply-colorful hand-held like a super-flavorful super-juicy quesadilla. This birria-dilla is served with a dark reddish consommé of all the flavors of the beef and the marinade, for dipping and dousing and generally risking your clothing to splashes, spills, and wild abandon. Compadres also served me freshly fried thin very-lightly-spiced tortilla chips with a zingy fresh chunky red salsa, and i realized that, without thinking, i was dipping the chips in that luscious consommé more than the salsa! I enjoy the food and the relaxed ambiance of this little place. They recently added a lovely terrifically-detailed mural by a local artist of a pueblo magico, a village of delicious food and good compadres. You know those friends who you always seem to visit at meal-time for a taste of whatever is simmering? These Compadres are those compadres.“

“This restaurant is my go too spot. My favorite is the seafood chowder! The servers are always super friendly! I highly recommend!“

“I wanted to honestly say that this cute bowl made my entire night. I was super hungry and I didn’t eat all day and whoever made my bowl portion it perfectly. They gave me an amazing side of small chips and queso. The Coke was cold. Everything was great. I ordered through DoorDash and whoever made my bowl. Amazing job. Happy new year!“

“Finally, some flavor! Not the same basic food. Yom“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“I can still taste the papusas as I write this; I want itto be fresh in my face as I review!

I walked in last weekend and had the best steak tacos I've had in the area. I was looking for a place to sit and wait, this was not it. No dine-in here, take out and delivery only, but it's so good! It's hidden behind the the police station of the long Reach Village Center.

Tonight, I used store front delivery to feed my family. It got here so fast, but I was not given an option online to tip. Hopefully, you have some cash.

The papusas are out of this world! I only wished they hadn't been delivered stacked on top of each other. It was a mushy, hot mess of heaven!

Chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos were good. But, don't be like me and wolf down the first taco before you realize the slaw was in a baggie on the side. Steak tacos were 'write home to momma' good, chicken tacos were legit, but dry without the slaw. The crunchy banana chips in the slaw were interesting and something I really appreciated.

I want to eat here every day 😋“

“Best Spanish food around laurel and Columbia, so much to offer too!“

“Very great food here I've been to this place about 3 times now and the food has always met my standards for authentic Mexican/Salvadorean food. The 1st and 2nd time I got the bean and cheese pupusas. But, this 3rd time I decided to get the birria pizza and it was amazing. A bit pricey but trust me it's worth it you can feed a whole family with it. I am very impressed as a San Jose native I would've never thought a place like Maryland had such good Mexican cuisine.“

“Pollo con tajadas full recomendado 🤝👍🏻🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳“

“Food was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Easy & convenient place to stop for a bite.“

“Great place, and good food i have had their food a couple of times now and it has met all my expectations, their new management makes sure that they give good quality foods, and the workers are great, especially Luis.Giving them my best rate“

“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“

“Delicious food and great service. A good space to catch up with a friend or watch a game.“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“

“The Columbia / Ellicott City area really needed a solid Chipotle that is consistent. I visited this new location on its second day, and YES! Impeccably clean, friendly staff who cared. The loaded the bowl nicely and really gave the value for price paid. Also, the food was spiced very well, super fresh, and delicious. Looking forward to this becoming a consistent location.“

“THIS! FOOD! IS! AMAZING!!!! Great service! Small place. But a huge menu!!! Order the Birria Tacos!!!“

“Amazing flavor, great service!!!“

“Very Friendly and prices are worth the food. Got 4 papusas and a ginger ale for 13.75 and they are BIG like pancakes!! And packed stuffed with whatever stuffing You'd like. Thank you guys so much!! I've found my new Latin spot to eat at. Best part is they open until midnight!! And they've been opened during snow storm!“

“This place is a hidden gem. Inexpensive, authentic, and delicious Latin American food. The pupusas and tacos are great. There are other things on the menu but I’ve never tried them, because once you’ve tried the pupusas and tacos it’s hard to order anything else.“

“This place is a place that you want to be with your family or will your loved one what . I've been coming here for almost 6 months I love the food the drinks the peacefulness because sometimes I come out my work and it's really heavy because of the noise I'm at work people talking too much sometimes I come here and chill they got really grateful though if anybody wants to have a good time just come here you will have a peaceful time or really good time all depends on you how you feel I don't see no complaints God bless you all try this place“

“Hi from Mississauga Canada .?? I was there last Sunday three days ago . I sat at the bar and ordered wings . . I liked the atmosphere. Food was good . The bartender from Houston was nice and welcoming.. hopefully I will be back one day to say “ hi” “
