“Great food! Perfect that you can choose how much to get, if you're a little hungry you can get really good quality for $5-6! (Or just get more for a regular meal). Lots of empanada options, and, most important the lady at the register is always so kind energetic in a good mood, it really makes the place have a good vibe! Also they're fast. Try this place!!“

“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.“

“Sardi’s in Gaithersburg delivers every single time. The rotisserie chicken is tender and packed with flavor, and the sides are pure comfort, especially the rice and beans and sweet plantains, which are always a hit in our house. The meal deals are a smart, satisfying option, and picking up gift cards at Costco adds a little extra value to something we already love. It’s become a staple in our takeout rotation. Sardis is reliable, delicious, and full of flavor from start to finish.“

“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!!“

“This place has the BEST Lomo Saltado PERIOD. 10/10“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

“Don Pollo is a hidden gem that delivers big on flavor and comfort. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rotisserie chicken sets the tone for a satisfying meal. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a perfectly crisped skin, and the sides—especially the, black beans & rice, and the pico de gallo garden salad—are flavorful and generously portioned. I even had to splurge for a beef empanada appetizer and it was crispy on the outside with a very savory season filling that hit the right spot!

The space is clean and welcoming, with a casual vibe that’s great for families or a quick solo bite like I had. Service is fast and friendly, and even though they were busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly. I especially appreciated the variety of sauces—each one adds a unique kick to the meal.

Whether you're grabbing takeout or dining in, Don Pollo hits the mark for quality, value, and taste. Highly recommend if you're craving Latin-inspired comfort food done right!“

“Great pupusas! I love the vegan ones“

“Yummy“

“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!“

“I called El Encanto to place an order, and from the start, the service was outstanding. The lady who answered the phone was incredibly helpful, especially since their menu offers so many options. When I arrived to pick up my order, I noticed how clean and welcoming the place was. The customer service was a perfect 10/10—everyone was lovely and attentive.

I wasn’t sure what drink to choose, and the lady recommended one that turned out to be absolutely delicious. As for the food, I ordered the Pupusas Locas, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were amazing, and everything tasted fresh and authentic.

Overall, El Encanto lives up to its name—it’s truly enchanting. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“
