I had several dishes here, and they all come out delicious. I highly recommend “Tapas mixtas” I also recommend their fried bass. Is cooked to perfection. The server Carmen is great! she’s so polite and very fast in doing her job. Don’t forget to order their Signature margaritas. So good on a hot day. Highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back

What a great place for family and friends gatherings! The atmosphere is friendly, the food is very good and the staff spares no effort to satisfy the customer. From time to time there is live music of various styles. Best of all, for true music lovers, every second Monday of the month there is an Open Mic in the early evening for which singers and instrumentalists are welcome.

The tortilla chips are made in house and were some of the best I’ve had. The salsa was fresh and flavorful. We had the strip steak with mushrooms and stuff chicken breast. Both were delicious. Also, enjoyed the beans and rice. The signature margarita combined with live music help make it a nice evening. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the area.

I went to eat with my family, we are 4, we consumed $130 in meals and they charged us $15 for alcohol consumption. And a $55 tip, I think they abuse customers a lot and that’s why it’s always empty. I went last night, only 3 tables of the 50 or more were empty. busy I do not recommend this restaurant 1 minute walk from there is the eagle there they are fair to charge and they do not steal it

We came here for the live jazz performance that night and had dinner. Great food! I highly recommend the Salmon Acapulco and my wife had a pork dish which she enjoyed. The sopapillas were the perfect dessert which was a great finish to the night.

This was a very good place to eat. The prices were a bit on the higher side but the food was well worth it. They do give you chips and salsa before the meal. Nothing noteworthy there. I recommend getting the chicharrones and yuca as an appetizer. The carne asada was very delicious and juicy. It was perfectly cooked to order. I could not get the sizzling fajitas down my gullet fast enough. The pupusas could have been better. But the pupusa competition out there in that area is tough. Their desserts were also very good.

This restaurant is most likely one of the best of the best Hispanic restaurant in silver spring Maryland. The food is well cooked! And as they serve your food its still steaming ! Incredible flavor! They have the best juices too, tamarindo , horchata ,lemonade and so many cocktails. They have sufficient parking for everybody and enough space inside to eat comfortably! The bar is also great , they have Food Network playing on the TV, but the dish they serve will take your attention ! The servers are so nice and respectful! Definitely a 5 stars!

The tamales were excellent, as were my chiles rellenos. the chips + salsa that came with the meal were surprisingly delicious; two of us powered our way through two (generously-sized) baskets over the course of the meal!
