“This place is a hidden gem!! We went there at 6pm on a Saturday and no one was there! Why??? Best tots I ever had. Very frosty pint glasses for draught beer. The staff was lovely. We will be back!”

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.”

“Alisa is excellent with service and outstanding at the front. She makes very good crepes and it tastes fantastic . She suggested us for banana strawberry crepe and was out of this world.

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!”

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!”

A Wheaton Must-Visit: Sabor Mixteco Delivers Authentic Magic!
Stumbled upon Taqueria Sabor Mixteco in Wheaton, Maryland, and I’m so glad I did. This spot nails the essence of Oaxacan-Mixteco cuisine with bold, fresh flavors that feel like a trip to Mexico without leaving the DMV.
Diving into the menu, I started with the tacos de birria – slow-braised beef that’s fall-apart tender, stuffed into soft corn tortillas, and served with a side of consommé that’s rich, spicy, and utterly addictive for dipping. Followed up with tlayudas, the Oaxacan street food staple: a giant crispy tortilla topped with stringy quesillo cheese, shredded chicken, and vibrant pasilla salsa. Every bite is a crunch-savor explosion!
The aguas frescas (horchata and jamaica) were refreshing and perfectly balanced – not too sweet, just right. And those house-made salsas? From mild avocado crema to fiery habanero, the salsa bar is a choose-your-own-adventure in heat.
Service is warm and efficient, the vibe is casual with colorful decor nodding to Mixteco roots, and prices won’t break the bank (tacos around $3-4 each). As a Wheaton local, this has skyrocketed to my weekly rotation.
If you’re in Maryland craving genuine, soul-warming Mexican fare, hit up Sabor Mixteco. The menu online makes ordering a breeze – go now!
¡Delicioso y auténtico al 100%! 🌮🍹”

“We stopped in for lunch after my Daughter's Gymnastics Competition this morning! The staff were Awesome! She was still in her gear and medals from the Competition and everyone was saying congratulations to her! This absolutely made my 9 year olds day even more special, when they brought her a tray with desert and congratulations on your great day written on the paper! I am glad we stopped in on the way home to Virginia! Thank you all! oh the deserts were great!”

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.”

“I have been coming here for years. The food is great.”

“Great service with no waiting!”

“Excellent place. The falafel wrap was outstanding chock full of falafel with the requisite salad, hummus and tehini. Even better when you add some hot pepper mix for a little spice. Spouse enjoyed the falafel platter which included a side of pita. Their fries were great, very crunchy. Their food is very authentic to various middle eastern countries that I have visited. The place is comfy, booths and a few tables. Service was quick and excellent. The owner is Palestinian and surely deserves our support. We highly recommend!”

“Had the Awaze Tibes. Very succulent and tasty. Came with a side of corn meal I think it was and lots of Injera bread. Everything cooked to perfection. The owner and cook was very pleasant and accomodating. Hope to be back soon.”

“Listen, to be quite honest if I could give this bar 17 stars I would. The bars of yesteryear, you can come in get yourself a nice tall boy and a shot and not spend over $40 are gone. But this place still holds on to the best kind of neighborhood bar tradition. The food here does what it needs to do. The drinks are always on time, and the service makes you feel like you just got home from college. I’ll never talk bad about Stained Glass.”

“Tres Leches, Dubai Chocolate, Pink Velvet and Snickerdoodle are our house favorites! Easy selection and delivery options on the app. User-friendly interface too. Noice!”

“absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone!”

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.”

“Nice atmosphere. Music is nice and not too loud. Comfortable seating.

Food is amazingly good! I got a Classic Smashburger and was floored by the flavor. Just be sure to use napkins The fries are fantastic and normally I hate waffle fries but these were some of the best fries I've had in a while. The sauces that came with it were great.

My father got some peri peri chicken (hot) and that was also delicious. No one at the table had anything bad to say about the food.

Dude running the register was super nice and gave us tons of sauces for free. He was very attentive to us and personable.”

“What a meal! We only ordered three things — garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and chicken biryani — but it felt like a feast. The naan was soft and fluffy, the tikka masala was insanely tasty, and the biryani? Flavor bomb! Totally hit the spot.”

“It's the best place to listen to live music in DC.”

“I got myself a yummy lunch this week. I love the fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I love that I can eat meatless and still feel satisfied and full. I highly recommend this gem of a place.”
