Having just recently moved to the Gaithersburg area I have desperately been seeking good Mexican food. After 3 misses, names withheld, decided yet another swing of the bat was in order.

OMG a Grand Slam Homerun!!!!

They are so damned good that we, my wife & I, ordered from there 3 times in one week.

Food and drinks were great, when we finally got them. The people were nice, just understaffed.

Definitely not kid friendly my kid ordered 2 cheese quesadillas with a side of refried beans she couldn’t even eat it it was so greasy they also charged $ 28.00 just for her meal. Our server was just hanging around near the back talking most of the time we never even got our drinks refilled . Won’t be going back it’s definitely more of a bar than an actual restaurant

La Mexicana in Gaithersburg, MD, is an absolute gem! The authentic Mexican cuisine is bursting with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich and creamy guacamole. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with vibrant décor that transports you straight to Mexico. The service is top-notch; the staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Whether you're dining in or taking out, the quality is consistently excellent. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, La Mexicana is the place to go. Highly recommended!

I think this was the worst burrito I ever had in my life. The service was great! However, I am extremely disappointed in this burrito. I ordered a steak burrito and I basically got a rice and bean burrito with what felt like two small chunks of steak. Believe me I tried to look and feel, couldn’t find it. Also for some odd reason the burrito was oily as hell. Biggest waste of money. I feel disgusting and not well nourished. Should have gone to chipotle or qdoba.
