“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.“

“The original Rotisserie chicken is season perfectly, I love the corn salad it marinates with the campero rice as well“

This South American cuisine is delicious, the atmosphere & decor beautiful ?? I highly recommend this place , looking forward in going back to experience the night life w/ music & dancing:)“

“Very cute and clean out of the way Salvadoran restaurant. Worth a stop if you’re in the area! Had a great weekend lunch, tried the papusas (get the revueltas!) and tacos, as well as a couple different margaritas. Very reasonably priced and really delicious.

I’ve had papusas from several places, these are handmade and very fresh.“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Mita and had an unforgettable experience. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the space felt deeply connected to both culture and the earth. It’s rare to find plant-based food that’s this healthy and delicious. Every dish was thoughtful and satisfying — perfect for a special date night. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I just had a company meeting here and it was excellent! Service and food was phenomenal as always. I can’t thank them enough for providing a great atmosphere for me and my company. I will definitely be having a team meeting here again.“

“The Saga is a great experience from start to finish. When you walk in, the space is beautiful, light-filled, and spacious. You're greeted, seated quickly, and the entire team works together to help ensure you and your party are having a great time. We ordered the tapas tour, which was a whirlwind of delicious and inventive small plates. Some of our favorites were the fried calamari, the Spanish sausage, the bacon-wrapped blue cheese-stuffed dates, and the spicy olive oil marinated shrimp. Incredible!! For dessert, we couldn't resist a small cheese plate and the tropical-flavored dessert. We also got some mango sorbet to top it all off. The only comment I'd make about the tapas tour experience is that I wished the tapas came out at a more paced speed, so that we could savor each dish more individually. But really, I also could have asked for that and I think the team would have accommodated the request! What an amazing time, thank you so much to everyone on the team!“

“Latin comfort food; good beer selection; everything on the menu is excellent“

“Great place to eat traditional Guatemalan food. The waitress was very prompt and provided exceptional service. The food is amazing it was as if I’m eating at a true Guatemalan household - 100% authentic. I’ll be coming again and telling my friends to check it out. You won’t regret coming to this place, it’ll have you wanting to come back for more.“

“se los recomiendo todo muy bueno 👌“

“Un luga con un ambiente super higienico y fresco. Las atenciones fueron de primera, la comida fresca y con muy buen sabor. Yo sali muy satisfecha, ? por favor espero que sigan con la misma calidad. Muchas gracias al Señor Ariel y su equipo de trabajo. God bless you“

“Went with a small group and the service was amazing. Friendly staff and owner with quick service. Food was delicious. I had pupusas, guacamole and chips, tamales with house made sour cream, and chicken. I definitely recommend you enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner here.“

“The salteñas from Saya are, without a doubt, the best I’ve tasted—not just in Washington DC, but even compared to some spots in La Paz, Bolivia. The staff is warm and attentive, and every bite of food is bursting with flavor. A true gem for anyone craving authentic Bolivian cuisine.“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“Had a wonderful dinner with friends - service was great and food unique and delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Truly wonderful food and staff. To call the portion size generous — especially the burritos — would he an understatement. Excellent and friendly staff, and a short wait for food that still came out fresh. More than anything, the empanadas, tacos al pastor, and chicken burritos were all excellent and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend again and again“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food here is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best torta in Gaithersburg.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Tacos El Pariente is now my go-to spot for authentic and delicious Mexican food. Highly recommend stopping by—you won't regret“

“the best arepas i have had outside of Venezuela.“

“Very small restaurant but very home like. It’s a nice space. The staff are nice and caring. The service is very quick as well. Been coming to this place since I was a kid and I still go. I always order the carne asada tacos and the tacos are so cheap and it’s generous with the size of it.

Parking: It’s like 5-6 spots on the right side of the restaurant.“

“This is such an amazing place most people don't even know how good this place is they have e been open for over 18 years now, the food is so good it will definitely make you crave it a few days later, their drinks are bang on and leaves their neighbors behind. This place is definitely worth checking out amazing food and staff“

“10/10, took my wife for our 15 year anniversary and she loved, every delicious bite, every plate had a story to tell,such a wonderful and memorable experience. Gracias!!!“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“This is my favorite place! I drive from Columbia to here almost every weekends because I love the vibe, the food, the drinks and they are very kind and professional and hard working. I love to support this business and I recommend it to anyone who is into Hispanic food and reggaeton! Absolutely amazing lounge!“

“Wow! The pupusas were delicious! I ordered the Pupusa de Pollo and the special that night, the Pupusa with Shrimp. The restaurant also offers tacos, salads and soups. Do not forget to order a smoothie to go with your pupusas. The banana smoothie was just that: smooth and satisfyingly sweet with the savory pupusas.“

“The vibe is good. The service was very very slow. They kept forgetting to put things in. Not sure if they were short staffed. Don’t waste your time with the chips and dips. They tasted like store bought guacamole and salsa and cheap dollar store bag chips. But other wise the Citron sampler was amazing! We only one drink because again the service was slow. But overall I would try this place again because of the vibe and music.“

“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.“

“Great tacos Nice atmosphere“

“muy buena comida se los recomiendo“

“I felt like some Dominican food specifically, chicharron de pollo (fried chicken) and tostones (fried plantains). The food was delicious and plentiful. It's in a strip mall and has an adjoining lounge which may double as a dance floor.“

“Very Nice ambience, truly enjoyed the music, the service , the food. If you are looking for a place to hang out anytime, this is it! They have parking, security, food and beverage all in one place, if you do try the food definitely go for Shrimp ceviche it's out of this world??“

“Great place to grab a chicken and cheese sub. Plenty of chicken for another sandwich…lol. Love this spot.“

“My daughter ordered a door dash from her and shared a taco with me. This was one of THE best tacos that I've ever had. This is a gem of a restaurant. I will continue to try out more of their menu and will say that this is truly authentic food that is excellent!“

“I mean it's a food truck at a gas station, not much atmosphere. Other than that No complaints!! Unless I get there late and she's out of pollo??‍♂️. Not her fault lol. Never been disappointed and if you're nice you may get some home pickled jalapenos, definitely a great lunch option. It's my go-to a couple times a week. Definitely recommend ??“

“Muy buen Ambiente muy rica 🤑 la comida Todo excelente 😍😍🥰.“

“The perfect hole in the wall. Classic, quality Mexican food. Sizes good portions, reasonable prices, you can feed two people to beyond full with a drink for $30, it’s all freshly made in house to order and turn around pick up is never longer that 15/20mins. Special shout out to the chicken burrito and the horchata.“

“From the moment you arrive in that restaurant they give you a great feeling. Very congenial stuff, it is a nice restaurant to go out with buddies or with your date. tasty food, specialist chef de cuisine, comfortable price and nice service. Warmly recommended.“

“Bomb food :)“

“good food --- many choices“

“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.“
