“I've been here multiple times I don't know why I haven't written a review about it. Securities are on top of the game, the DJ always allows your music taste and well his performance is phenomenal. Waitresses are a top notch the best ones in the area super friendly and welcoming KEEP IT UP! Food I always get pupusas can't go wrong. Thank you for treating us like kings!“
“The food was good. I ordered delivery through Uber eats. Presentation was good. Tasty. Expect the salmon to not have much flavor but have limes to assist with that. I should’ve ordered the fries instead of side salad since there was no dressing or even salt and pepper but there was a lime -just not my preference. Only got 2 shrimp but the salmon was a nice portion.“
“I recently dined at D'lena and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were exceptional and left me wanting more. I ended up doing a walk in & ended up at the bar, my server at the bar was Paul! He truly made my visit outstanding! He was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. His knowledge of the menu and willingness to ensure my dining experience was perfect truly stood out. I highly recommend Dlena to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience with fantastic food and top-notch service!I had the squash soup & wagyu fajitas on a hot plate. The steak was also very good especially combined with the broccolini.“
“A friend and I were just walking around DC and stumbled upon this restaurant. The decor was the first thing that got us. Once we got inside the warm welcome and smiles caused us to stay. We were given complimentary butternut squash soup, it was delicious! I ordered the Seven Reasons ceviche and I loved it! The purple sweet potato and crunchy pops of quinoa really stood out. Also, I got the Tropical Aperol Spritz cocktail, it was refreshing. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly staff was an added bonus. This was my first and I'll definitely visit again during my next trip to Washington DC.“
“Orders are placed via phone or you can order at the counter but the tip defaults to 22%. I’m a generous tipper but am annoyed at this, esp when our server didn’t return with sugar after being asked for it or to check up on us. Otherwise, it’s a very cozy place.“
“We came here for friend’s birthday and although imperfecto doesn’t scream birthday vibes the restaurant absolutely delivered. Food was immaculate- the drinks were delicious and the service was great. It was peak brunch time so the restaurant was super busy - but the staff was very timely and attentive.Onto the drinks, we had a variety of drinks, a crowd favorite was (classic) the espresso martinis.Some food highlights include the wagyu burger, the avocado toast was supreme, mussels, chicken and waffles and the pancakes.Be sure to specify if you are celebrating an event as the staff will be sure to make it special.“
“I got the pollo frito with tostones on the side and a little pickled slaw on top. It was delicious - reminded me of how my grandma fried chicken. Crispy and flavorful. The tostones were crispy too. I just wish you got one more piece of chicken for $18. Overall, totally worth it.“
“My wife and I had dinner on our anniversary and the food and service was outstanding. The menu is full of outstanding options and the atmosphere and vibe is great for date night or dinner with friends. Definitely one of the best restaurants in DC!“
“I had to delete my last review because I can't help but call this place every week...For exquisite food: birria tacos, carne asada, loaded tater tots - and i am a tot hater!,... they make pickup easy.oh yeah, and their chicken fingers reminded me so much of oldschool Dairy Queen in a good way that i went home and made runny mashed potatoes. And it's great they give you a lil separate dish of rice and beans.“
“First time visiting the restaurant and I loved it. The flavor of the chicken is on point. Every side I tried was delicious. My favorites were the cassava fruit, sprouts and onion (curtido type) on top of the green salad. Oh, and they have 3 types of sauces that go excellent with everything.“
“I ate my empanadas immediately upon it hitting the table so I didn't get a picture, holy god they were delicious. Get the lime (?) sauce with them as it makes them damn near euphoric. Great service from the bartender and chefs, highly recommend if you can get a seat!“
“Walked into this eatery and it wasn't too busy. Possibly because it was a weekday during off peak hours. Was sat quickly and was brought out ice water and some chips and salsa (which were fresh). I ordered a Mixed Fajita which came with steak, chicken and shrimp. This came out with a side of rice and black beans as well as your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Food was great and I felt that it was a great portion size as well. I walked out stuffed and almost passed out in the car for a nap. I would definitely recommend this place whenever you feel like eating some great latin food.“
“I lived in Miami for a decade and used to live in Little Havana a few blocks from Versailles and La Carreta so I know what’s up when it comes to Cuban food. This place is legit and very authentic to the Miami Cuban flavors. Prices are reasonable (for DC) and it’s a nice comfortable restaurant for a casual night out.“
“I don't think it's clear that this place is located within a hotel. So, for starters walking around trying to find the place is a bit frustrating. The food, however, was very delicious. We did the Sangria Sin Fin option for brunch. Bottomless Sangria is what made this brunch stand out from others There wasn't a dish we didn't enjoy. I was disappointed that I could not have unlimited red Sangria because it wasn't available so I had to settle for Peruvian Sangria. I do not like that a credit card is required for reservations. In fact, I almost didn't go because of this feature. It's confusing to require a credit card but it's not charged for a deposit or anything. When paying I assumed they already had my card on file since it was necessary to book but they didn't so I'm not sure of the point of requiring a credit card. Additionally, it could be the time we chose but other groups seemed to be noisier than necessary including some children screaming. We were seated in a corner away from other tables but were still shocked by the noise. Overall I'd try again sometime in the distant future.“
“El Cielo made our Valentine’s celebration a memorable experience! I wanted to surprise my husband this year and the CCO, Pedro, was very helpful when it came to helping me with last minute reservations. The entire staff was friendly, eloquent, and very professional. My husband and I are both Spanish speakers (it is our mother tongue) and we loved interacting with the staff in Spanish (this made it so much more special to us). Now, as for the food. Let me just start by saying that when I told my husband what our dining experience would be like, he was very skeptical. He is an amateur fighter, and when he is not doing “fighting camps” he LOVES to eat. When we arrived he was already making plans to go eat arepas after, to finish filling his tummy. Needles to say, arepas did not happen after, as he was extremely full from all the courses. Each meal was beautifully presented, and tasted just as divine! We loved knowing what each meal represented and they are all a beautiful homage to Colombia. The atmosphere in El Cielo, is very cozy. The aesthetics of the restaurant itself makes you feel like you are eating at a friends house. From the decorations to the music. Y para terminar, usando las palabras de mi hermoso esposo después de finalizar nuestra cena “Parce, toda esta comida estaba tan rica que te hace sentir que estás en el cielo”. El Cielo, un nombre tan propio para este encantador lugar. Nuevamente, muchísimas gracias a todos por hacer, y ser parte, de esta experiencia única e inolvidable para nosotros. Hasta la próxima!“
“The most delicious restaurant in the United States. Delicious, delicious, delicious, and the manager is very classy. He helped me choose halal dishes without forbidden meat or alcohol. A wonderful experience, and I hope I will break my fast there tomorrow too, in Morocco (Ramadan). The only drawback is that it is expensive..“
“This is the best place to get Arepas and other Venezuelan/Colombian food in Washington DC. This is highly popular and has excellent food, desserts, and other South American beer. If you would love Arepas, you should absolutely try this place.Arepas are basically corn cakes that are cut and then stuffed with meat or other vegetarian fillings. the corn can be sweet or it can be non-sweet. The sweet ones are called cachapas. You MUST try both in separate visits. Washington DC has excellent Colombian food and this place is evidence of that.Seating here can be limited, so be careful. Because of this place is popularity you can expect to wait in line for a bit and also you might not find seating, since it is open seating. However, you’re always welcome to grab these and walk to a nearby park or somewhere else.This place is excellent and I have been here multiple times and loved it each time I went.“
“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.“
“Nice really nice small Guatemalan restaurant in the heart of Washington DC!Service was really good (one lady show) perfect. Waiting time was short!Food was great… Guate tamales extremely good… freshly fried chicken empanadas!! Guac n chips.. guac could be a bit more, true Guatemalan flavor… and crema… good crema! Yes Guatemala crema flavor!“
“This place is good simple Mexican restaurant. It's not expensive but a very good experienceVegetarian options: Beans Burittos rice soup quesadillaDietary restrictions: Accommodation for gluten intoleranceParking: There is ample parking right next to the restaurant“
“This new arrival to P St NW in DuPont is going to be a hit. There is finally a spot with good tacos in DC!Music is cool upbeat EDM and the atmosphere is clean and modern.The prices are reasonable at $15-$25 for a good sized meal.I'm looking forward to coming back with friends to try their 4:30-7:30 happy hour.“

“Came for lunch on a weekday. They offer a lunch special with soup and a main dish that seems to be a very popular option with the regulars. We opted for lomo saltado and escabeche de patitas (pickled pig's feet). The lomo was tender and delicious, accompanied by vegetables, fried potatoes and rice. The escabeche was perfectly cooked, not too vinegary. Both portions were very generous. Finished with tres leches and lucuma ice cream. The service was quick and attentive without being annoying. The place is well appointed and nice. Will surely come back to try some more of the extensive menu!“
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️I can't raive enough on how delicious this food is. Honestly, it's made with love, and not only that, the chef came out and spoke to me. I had a great conversation with him. how professional to make me feel so welcomed and at home. For anyone in the local area or in the area, I highly recommend this location.So far as I sit here, he continues to greet customers, making them feel welcomed.????????????????What I noticed is that everyone greets them like family, The food did not take long at all..To chef's where on it quickly and fresh..As you can see in my video....I'm very happy I found this place...LET'S SHOW THEM LOVE??????????????????????TRULY AMAZING??????They offer catering for parties at competitive rates??????“
“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.“
“This is still the best place in Beltsville to eat, and the best rotisserie chicken by far. The dining area could use some sound deadening material.The alfajores used to be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They're still good, but not like they used to be.Go, eat. You won't be disappointed.“
“This is my favorite restaurant in the DMV. Food is always amazing as well as their frozen margaritas. The atmosphere is always beautiful. Candles and fresh flowers on every table for dinner. We drive 50 minutes just to go here. If you've never been I'd highly suggest going asap!“
“Went there for a date with my wife. Ambiance was good. The decor is very elegant and makes you feel like you've come to a high end, well curated spot. Food was fantastic. The sushi in particular was very good. As good if not better than The Hamilton. Drinks were great. A well kept industry secret is alcoholic beverages are often watered down to save cost. Not at this place. One Manhattan and I was good for the night! :) Looking forward to our next visit there to try something else on the menu! We had an issue at the restaurant but since posting a review here (which I removed), management reached out with a fair offer to compensate us for the inconvenience. in the end they dealt with things in a professional manner.“

“I recently visited Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa in Capitol Heights, MD, and I must say, their rotisserie chicken is exceptional. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, boasting a crispy skin outside and tender, juicy meat inside. It's no wonder the restaurant has garnered an impressive **4.5-star rating** from numerous satisfied customers.The portions are generous, ensuring you get great value for your money. And it's not just the chicken that's delicious – the plantains and the green sauce complement the meal wonderfully, adding to the overall flavor profile.While some diners have mentioned the service can be a bit slow during peak hours, and a few have noted the dishes can be a tad salty, these minor points don't detract from the overall high-quality dining experience.Sardi's is open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, which is convenient for both lunch and dinner plans. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this spot has you covered. Just remember to consider the salt content if you're watching your sodium intake, and maybe plan around the busy times if you're in a rush. Overall, Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa is a must-visit for anyone craving flavorful Peruvian cuisine in Capitol Heights.“
“Very small place unlimited indoor seating. The chicharones we're very crisp yet tender. The pupusas had a really good amount of filling. The slaw that comes with it could have been better seasoned. Also ordered the birra tacos, which were phenomenal, but if you do not like spicy, ask them to lower the heat. The horchata drink was homemade and was delicious. Give this place a try.“
“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 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.“
“This place is absolutely delicious! It's inside a food hall that is cute and has a quiet vibe, at least during the weekday. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free too! Love it! Wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often.Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu is gluten free because they are made with corn flour. I didn't get the sense that they are a certified gluten free kitchen that avoids cross contamination though. The employees didn't know what I meant when I asked about gluten.“
“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.“
“We love visiting Las Placitas, it always has a busy vibe, customer service is good. The employees are always happy and seem to enjoy being there. The food is delicious and drinks are fantastic. This place gets packed in the evenings so be prepared to wait for a seat if you come later. But it will definitely be worth the wait.“
“Everything was so wonderful the first time I ate here, I came back a week later with a friend. The food is delicious and the prices very reasonable. Last time I had a Relleno de Carne ($8), Sopa de Mani peanut soup with beef ($9), and Mocochinchi peach drink ($4). This time we tried Beef, Vegan, and Chicken Saltenas ($6). There's a reason why they come with instructions on how to eat them. The Coffee Flan ($4) was a great dessert. Looking forward to coming back to try other items on the menu.“
“This is not a Restaurant, if you look for the place there is a house that apparently sells beer, on one side you will see a white food truck and this is where you have to order the variety of dishes they offer.The price-quality-flavor are very good and they are very worth enjoying either right there on some tables that they have which would be uncomfortable in cold weather because it is outdoors, so it is better to order to go.“
“NAILED IT!! First Timers and we absolutely enjoyed this place. We were unsure if we could get crispy tacos from online descriptions- as we were “Jones-ing” all week for a Crispy taco. So we called to verify prior to ordering on Uber. Nice young lady answered and told us how to make order. FAST, delicious, hot and so flavorful. We can’t wait to have more experiences, hoping to get the same everything- every time.We thought price point was applicable and size was appropriate.The hot sauce was such a painful- delight!Thank You,The Jones“
“This place blows me away. The arepas are huge and unlike any food I've had before. I usually get the Catira arepa. The meat is very flavorful and it is loaded with cheese. The sauce adds to the flavor profile. To complete the meal, their mango juice is refreshing and their sweet plantains are delicious.“
“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.“
“This is the third time I go to maizal and the food is amazing. I always have to ask them to put more food on my plate but other than that the service is good. The only reason I gave a 3 star for the service is because the menu has a halal sign on it but when I asked the staff if all the meat provided is halal or just the chicken, the were clueless they didn’t even know what the meaning of the word halal and they didn’t even notice it on the menu on display. I had to show it to them. It was embarrassing. Other customers were looking perplexed. The place is amazing and so is the food but the staff need to be educated so they are aware about other religion and what halal is. :)“
“I'm here at my occasional spot and I love it.. As always. My bartender was amazing every visit she makes my experience worth the EVERYTHING. The manager was very pleasant and people friendly and definitely gave a vibe for a shy Sunday evening. What a Vibe. My spot VERY NIGHT. THE food was cooked to perfection STEAK MEDIUM PLEASE. HAVE MY SEAT READY WITH LOVE..Manager barback and bartender were awesome I love it here.. yall better run come quick?? (Sofia Rafael and Leny) thank you for the experience ?? ♥️“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“My husband and I love this place. We've got several tacos and pupusas from here, and tonight we got a giant chicken burrito too. The service is always nice and pretty quick for making it to order. The food is tasty and affordable. The burrito was really yummy because it wasn't all rice, it was stuffed and huge but had a lot of veggies in it too.“
“The Garnachas are not like those of Xela but it is the closest and best in the area. Food portions are large. I still come back after 14 years because the place is clean, hygienic and quick to serve. You have to arrive at a good time because it can fill up and the tables fill up. And people do not cooperate in leaving when they finish eating. They watch as those who are standing look at them to stop. It's the only frustrating thing. It's not the restaurant's fault. My Chapina people lack ethics. But no way.“
“I was completely taken aback with the new menu for this place. We order as a start up two pupusas (one chicharrón with cheese and a "revuelta"; they were delicious, and of course it is then that I decided to write a review for this place. I didn't take a picture of the appetizer (tacos dorados) either. For our main course we had the trio super special and as you can see in the picture it was as delicious as it seems. The only constructive criticism is in the portion of the sides in the main dish (as it's observed in the picture there were 2 1/2 pieces of Fried Yuca, and that was supposed to be a whole side). Other than that the meal was out of this world. We ordered a banana shake, a little bit more banana and a sprinkle of sugar would had made the shake as good as the rest of the items we tried in tHe menu. If you are planning to come in, you can't leave without trying the churros caramelo... they taste AMAZING! Overall, the whole experience was excellent. I wish they allowed me to purchase the coaster, but hey... you can't asked for perfection.. Give this place a try out!“
