Beautiful restaurant and good food. Service is pretty good. There’s one waiter that was extremely rude to me and my family one night dining here but didn’t get her name. She would turn the lights off while we ate and when we asked why she kept turning it off she said “if you don’t like it you can leave” and would be in the back with the drunk men while they groped her, not even working. Very unprofessional but overall good place so far.

Great food for an excellent value. Very relaxed, service was a little slow, especially waiting for the check. If you're not in a hurry and want good Mexican food, Tijuana is the place.

This place is always so much fun…
The bartenders and wait staff are mostly female and really know how to handle the business very well which consists of mostly a male demographic. There is a DJ on the weekends and the owners are always present on the floor. The drinks (Micheladas and Margaritas) are LIT and the food is really good. One of my favorite spots to hang out in the Silver Spring area. Best 👍🏼
