“I came here last night with my boyfriend and kids the owner was so nice and friendly the food was delicious everything thing we tried was so flavorful and enjoyable I was worried the boys would be finicky about but they also enjoyed the food very very much they said they would love to come back and so would we“

“Great joint. Food is innovative and subtle, drawing flavor from unexpected places (as opposed to piling on the salt), and the menu has great variety, in terms of proteins, flavors, and array of dishes.
Add a fun, curated wine list, and exceptional service, all at abundantly reasonable prices, and this is one of the best pure meals you’ll get in the area.
L&C is still growing into the space, and it isn’t helped by some shabby, dated surroundings—but so much care has gone into this place, I’m really hopeful they’ll hang on and help revitalize that whole neck of the woods…“

“I had the spinach empanadas and Omgggg! It was soooo good!
Also, I don't usually like sauce, however the spicy sauce was really good!
This is a hidden gem!
There was a lady working when I went in there. Super sweet and helpful.
I am going back today after work!“

“This is one of the best kept secrets in Gaithersburg. Everything is made fresh and it is delicious. Prices are good. Food is great and service and the people that own it or fantastic.“

“I’ve visited Tacos El Pariente in Gaithersburg multiple times, and this place delivers every single time! Whether you’re craving their famous Birria Tacos with Consomé or classics like Carnitas, Chorizo, and Asada, the food is always on point. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the Jarritos are always cold – what more could you ask for?

The service is quick and friendly, making every visit smooth and enjoyable. If you’re a taco lover, this spot is a must. Can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food, attentive staff and great atmosphere, enough said!

Vegetarian options: Limited options for you folks. Spanish/Latin cuisine is heavy on the animal proteins.

Parking: Conveniently located across the street from the county public parking garage. There are free hours but don't start until late at night.“

“Hermoso lugar . La atención al público es lo mejor!!!“

“We went there with my boyfriend because we were very hungry but the only thing I liked were the baleadas but in general I see that many Latinos frequent this place either because of the price or because it is very close to working wineries.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always great service /food/drinks we will always return“

“Fantastic grilled meats. Beef chicken sausage tripe sweetbreads“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“I mean it's a food truck at a gas station, not much atmosphere. Other than that No complaints!! Unless I get there late and she's out of pollo??‍♂️. Not her fault lol. Never been disappointed and if you're nice you may get some home pickled jalapenos, definitely a great lunch option. It's my go-to a couple times a week. Definitely recommend ??“

“Great food and attentive service.“

“good food --- many choices“

“Best Peruvian chicken, everything else is just charbroil chicken. Nothing compares to the flavor. The only dislike I have is that the beans count as a side, and rice counts as another side. Rice and bean should be a single side, in my opinion. What do guys think? Other than that, it would've been a 5 star rating.“

“Awesome food. Great service.“

“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.“

“family friendly and fantastic food!!“

“I have never craved any rice before but oh lawd this rice and beans is AMAZING. The chicken was also perfectly juicy and the sauces! I tried them all, my favorite is the spicy red one. I am just disappointed that these places are nowhere near me! I was visiting my sister and now to try and explain these flavors to my husband is just impossible!“

“….…………………………………………….. xxx“

“Especiales del día de la madre pra ti presiosa diamante 💎 de Dios feliz día de las madres Puedes disfrutar tu plato favorito por un economico presio ven y disfruta 😉“

“very good chicken n customer service was great“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

“I have gone to this location for years and in those years Yadira has always given me exceptional customer service. Nothing is perfect and sometimes mistakes are made and she always goes above and beyond to make sure it is corrected and she is the reason I continue to frequent this establishment. The food is great but when you combine great food with exceptional customer service you have a winner!“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“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 😍“

“Aprobados por un mexicano 😋🥰 Demasiadamente deliciosos Gracias por traer tacos a silver spring Md“

“Coming home from the SC we stopped here for dinner last year. It was outstanding. We stopped again this year on our way home to PA. The chicken is so flavorful and tender. Others had a steak dish that was equally as good. My grandchildren had the chicken and rice. We chose yuca fries, roasted veggies, soup, rice and black beans.
It was SO GOOD!!!
We only wish there was a Don Pollo here in Pine County PA.
Go here, the food is great. The servers friendly kind and helpful. The food really really good. And I’m Italiano?“

“La comida siempre es riquísimo. Mi familia y yo estavamos comiendo allá por años y nunca he tenido mal comida. Yo recomiendo el Philly cheese steak, el arroz, pollo y frijoles negros. También tienen una salsa amarrillo cuál es mi favorito. Pues no se como se llama pero siempre lo pido por el salsa amarillo. Dios ha bendecido este lugar con buena trabajadores y muy buena comida. Lo recomiendo cien por ciento.“

“I love their burritos and tacos. Also, the Horchata. Call ahead to get your food faster if you are doing carry out. The Mixed Fajita is also one their best dishes. All the food is prepared great and with a lot of love just like at home 😊🔥🔥“

“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.“

“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.“

“El restaurante está retomando a los clientes anteriores y atrayendo a nuevos porque la administración anterior era bastante mediocre. El personal que atiende es muy amable, atento y servicial pero el dueño actual es altanero y arrogante no solamente con el personal pero también con los clientes. Hoy tienen un evento pero el ego de ese individuo no le permite ser humilde y amable para informar a los clientes que solamente se pueden hacer pedidos para llevar. En vez de eso, mira a uno por encima del hombro y con desprecio. Pésimo trato que debe comunicarse. Solamente se espera eso de alguien que no sabe nada de nada.“

“It was my first time getting food from this food truck. I ordered buffalo chicken wrap and a veggie burrito. The food was extremely delicious and freshly prepared. I'll be going back soon to try other items on the menu. 100% recommend this truck.“

“I go here all the time for break ! Great customer service amazing food!“

“Me encanta el restaurante favorito de mi hija y de mi familia vamos desde West Virginia“

“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!“

“Likely the best pupusas you can get in the area and for a very fair price. The service was very fast, straightforward, and friendly. Just make sure you or someone you're with can speak Spanish! I'd recommend the pupusas revueltas (chicharrón y queso). They were made fresh and were still plenty hot when I got home! The curtido was nice and oniony, though I personally prefer a bit of spice, it was still fantastic. The sauce was perfect in both consistency and flavor. I got the perfect amount of curtido and salsa in relation to the amount of pupusas I ordered. I didn't get a drink but the bar was well stocked from what I could see. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“If you're looking for a great spot for takeout or a place to feed a crowd, Don Pollo is an excellent choice. Their classic pollo a la brasa Latin style is not only fast and tasty but also consistently delivers on flavor. The rice and bean, along with the fried yuca, are standouts and have quickly become our ultimate favorites. The location is convenient, and the staff is both friendly and efficient. Perfect for when you don't feel like cooking but still want a delicious meal.“

“The best Nicaraguan kitchen in Washington DC - I can see there is a lot of talent behind this kitchen - Great food and Friendly service -“
