“Drinks and food is great!“

“Overall food quality seemed to be great. Both green and red sauce for chips was a little bland. Chips were hot and crispy. Had steak tacos, pork belly tacos and pork enchiladas. All were very good. Queso was good but our fault, didn't add the chorizo. My hibiscus margarita would have been great had I not picked one with mezcal. Forgot I really don't like mezcal! 😅“

“Came to Laredo after a busy day at the zoo and I am so glad I did. First of all the staff is very sweet and friendly. Secondly, the food was all very fresh and very filling! The margs were some of the best I had as well. Worth every penny and whenever I come to the area I would definitely come again.“

“We had a wonderful experience dining here! Our server checked on us regularly to make sure everything was going well. There was a slight delay with one of our drinks, but they handled it so graciously — they apologized and comped it without us even asking.

The food was fantastic. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, and the steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Everything arrived quickly, and the server provided extras as requested.

The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. It’s a great spot for family celebrations. There’s also a cute outdoor patio with plenty of seating — perfect for a casual hangout or date night.

And don’t skip the spicy margaritas — they’re strong, flavorful, and have just the right kick. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the overall vibe.“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“great happy hour until 7pm“

“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.“

“I recently attended La Rumba‘s first ever Latin brunch and from my experience going to many brunches in my life. This has to be one of the best atmospheres and service in the Silver Spring area. The drinks were reasonably priced and also had a good ratio of liquor for the bank for your buck so if you’re looking to get a taste of Salvadoran Mexican or just Latin food in general, you’ll get a sample of every type of food you would want to here .“

“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!“

“I spent a couple hours here because my flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Cosmos were perfectly pink. (If they’re clear and red they’re not made correctly) and only $6 during Happy Hour. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food, Cosmos I ordered the Bora Bora marinated chicken without the tortilla over rice. It was delicious! The chicken was so tender and tasty and all the flavors were wonderful. I also enjoyed watching the surfers on TV,. The waves relaxed me instead being stressed out over a delayed flight. Definitely recommend this place for its casual atmosphere and good food. Even if you don’t like Mexican!“

“This restaurant is beautiful, It used to be my favorite years ago, but now they had changed the food quality and quantity. Thwir burritos used to be mainly beef and double the size of the oens they serve now, also their margaritas were huge and natural fruit.“

“Open late and everything tasted so fresh and authentic! We were looking for something to eat late on a Sunday night and a friend recommended Picamas since they lived nearby. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was so good. The tortilla was really soft and the chicken was so flavorful and went really well with the rice and veggies in the burrito. The owner was so friendly and they really made an effort to prepare our meal for us. Overall great food and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I thought it was good and I really like it“

“This was the first time I have eaten here. OMG! The Anitarita is to die for!!!! The food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely be returning!“

“Great 👍 food, excellent service- love the chips and salsa.“

“Out of the several restaurants and food joints I visited in DC, from all different types, this place was actually my favorite. The girls working there were SO sweet and were nice enough to make recommendations since we were from out of state. I got 2 burritos (taking one back with me to my hotel for later) and they were perfect. I got the country style one that had the ham and gravy and the other was the chorizo burrito. The chorizo was my favorite. I'm so sad that we don't have one in California!“

“I love their burritos and tacos. Also, the Horchata. Call ahead to get your food faster if you are doing carry out. The Mixed Fajita is also one their best dishes. All the food is prepared great and with a lot of love just like at home 😊🔥🔥“

“Edited 10/24 to note that it looks like they brought some old menu items back so we will give them another chance.

Original review:
We loved this place when it opened and we went weekly all last year. But they completely changed the menu for the Del Ray location when they opened their Mosaic location and it’s not the same. What really irks me is that they still use photos from their old menu in all of their marketing when it doesn’t match what they’re serving. The menu changes really don’t mesh with the outdoor vibe of the Del Ray location and it really takes away from the experience.

The combo plates and smaller tacos on the old menu were the perfect for sharing and trying a bunch of everything. They also had some great menu items they removed, including the mac and cheese that was mentioned by WaPo as one of the best in the city.

Now, instead of getting a combo platter and selecting sides that come on a platter you have to choose one meat and it comes on a personal plate with rice and beans, as if it’s a sit down Tex Mex restaurant instead of something unique. We already have four of those within walking distance of the Del Ray spot. Another change they made is that when you order a taco, you get one larger taco instead of two smaller tacos that can be shared. The menu doesn’t specify that, and we were expecting something different because we were used to the old menu. I ordered the fish taco, which sounded great, but was really bland.

The changes are a real disappointment. I used to love recommending this place to friends, and the meat is still great, but I feel like this place has lost what made it special wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to eat here.

Editing to adjust this downward. We tried to give this place a few more chances over the summer and after last night we are not coming back. Start to finish, it was a really awful experience. We waited at an empty hostess stand for several minutes before we saw anyone and then sat at our table for fifteen minutes before anyone showed up. We never got water. Only two of the five items we ordered came out correctly. The food was cold and honestly just kind of gross. We saw our server twice the entire time we were there and watched someone who ordered takeout return their order because half of it was missing. Whoever is running this place just doesn’t care about it anymore. It’s really sad. We used to love it here but it’s just awful.“

“calidad le doy 5 estreyas es un comidon“

“I go here all the time for break ! Great customer service amazing food!“

“Everyone here is so nice and polite, Make you feel so confortable.“

“I love California Tortilla and this place didn't disappoint! The steak fajita burrito was delicious. The Coke from the machine was off, but I'll chock it up to a mistake. Someone probably put the wrong bag in the regular spot, it tasted like cherry. The sauce wall has some pretty amazing sauces and to-go containers. Will definitely be back!“
