    Tamales
    MaryLou B.

    I love this venue! I was happy to see the restaurant has expanded its dining area ! It looks so spacious and inviting. I even watched some basketball on the big TV while eating my meal. The venue is celebrating being open @1 year already! I am so thankful that the venue stayed in our neighborhood. Good food and great service here on Main Street. The food is so memorable and I have missed the Caldo de res !!! We have been traveling and I have not been able to get back sooner to satisfy my cravings! I has a side of avocado, sweet plantains, and rice! A squeeze of lime and a bit of habanero sauce... it's amazing!!! We ordered yummy chicken tamales and pork with yuca!!! We enjoyed the friendly, welcoming,and attentive staff. And it was so cool to see patrons even ordering takeout out!

    Chips and salsa
    Stephanie S.

    Husband and I were in the mood for Mexican and found this place - what a fantastic find and can't wait to go back. Located on main street in Laurel, there is street parking out front or a giant lot out back. We arrived about an hour before closing on a Saturday night, there were 1-2 other tables and a couple people at the bar - otherwise empty. There is an extensive menu to choose from, almost overwhelming with all the things that tasted good. We got a house marg, which was good, and chips and dip came. For a main course, we split the fajitas with chicken, beef, and shrimp and a side of plantains. You get about 8 plantains for the price, VERY worth it - they were delish. The fajitas were plenty to share between two people with some leftovers to take home. It was nicely decorated with enjoyable music playing but not too loud. The downside was that there was no flan available, we were hoping to give that a try. With any luck, they will have some the next time we come!

    Acapulco of laurel was great. Food was delicious!! IHad Carne guisada and two Pupusas revuelta.. . Bartender David a true mixologist. Check him out Wednesdays thru Friday..

    Tripe Soup

    The tripe soup! So hearty and flavorful. I have nothing more to say. I need to go back soon.

    I think Acapulco has a ton of promise and will be back to try out more than just the pupusas and chips. I went very early on when they first opened to get carry out. I got there after lunch but pre dinner. They were really super friendly and the food was solid. A few misses were stale chips and they forgot the curtido with my pupusas. I expect that was just the kitchen working out the kinks. I did have an amazing horchata and enjoyed chatting with the hostess/bartender about the place. Very cute little place. As I said, I will be back to try out many of the other dishes on the menu.

    NY steak & the rice was super delicious.  Highly recommend to everyone.

    This place is a small hidden gem. Staffs were very friendly and food were delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to give it a try.

    I've ordered Uber Eats from this place before and when I ordered the first time, I ordered it again…read morethe next day, it was so good. I was finally in the area and got a chance to go in person and wow, the experience of eating the food fresh there was even better - although I must say this food does travel very well. I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC! Manifesting a central dc location soon! thanks to your staff for a wonderful meal!

    My second time coming to this location because I literally live 3 minutes away, but unfortunately,…read moreit's a hard NO for me. Before a work meeting, I decided to place an order online so I could pick it up, eat, and be ready for my meeting. Well... that's NOT how that went down. I ordered the bowl with over-medium eggs, potatoes, avocado, bacon, and cheese. My expected pickup time was 8:53 AM. I didn't actually receive my order until 9:17 AM. What a joke! At least the meal looked decent, and thankfully, they got my eggs right. The food was actually good, but honestly, customer service and accurate timing are more important to me. I can always doctor a meal to taste how I want it to taste, but you can't give me back the time I wasted waiting on an order that was supposed to be ready at a specific time. And when I'm trying to get to a work meeting, that matters! Unfortunately, being only 3 minutes away isn't enough to bring me back. Hard pass for me.

I usually come here with family or friends, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One thing I really appreciate is that they have complimentary water and coffee available in the waiting area while you wait for your table. This place is usually packed, so there's often a wait. Thankfully, they have an easy online waitlist system. We'll usually add our name to the list and run errands or stop somewhere nearby until it's almost our turn. They do a great job with the timing, so we rarely have to wait long. If we're not in the mood to wait, we'll place a to-go order instead. Overall, First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and I always enjoy coming back for the great food, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

    I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

    The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

"First, it will be her sisters. Stheno and Euryale. Gorgons...'Dread monsters' in the oldest texts....And yet, they have stayed by their sister's side, even though a glance from her would turn them into stone. That is love," Diana realizes, even as she contemplates that, soon, the misty cave floor under her feet will be beset with violence, meted out by Medusa's sisters, before Diana even gets a chance to explain that she is trespassing in the hopes of obtaining for Medusa the ultimate form of social justice: permanent chances for her to "look other soul[s] in the eyes...and be seen." The Black female ownership, the management, and the staff at Love Life Cafe, a snug coffee house nestled at 929 Washington Blvd in Laurel, Maryland, are fully aware how being seen is intertwined with social justice, kindness, and customer service. Black artists' drawings and paintings, some of which are for sale, adorn the walls, including "Wakanda Forever," featuring Chadwick Boseman, whom the world heartbreakingly lost too soon to cancer; "Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter," featuring Sandra Bland; whom her communities bitterly lost to police brutality; and, in a hope-filled change of pace, "Looking Up at Greatness," depicting two-year-old Parker Curry's recognition and wonder at seeing Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery in March of 2018. So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

We were celebrating my dad's birthday and our server brought out a sign that said "Happy Birthday Dad" for the occasion. He was kind and courteous throughout the meal despite also bartending at the time. The food was rich, but quite tasty. Everyone loved everything we tried - from the spinach dip appetizer to the various entrees. Everything was seasoned really well and cooked to perfection. My partner commented that the roast chicken was really moist and juicy. My sister got the fried chicken which was sooo crispy and packed with flavor. My salmon (pictured) was a hefty portion and really flavorful. Nearly everyone had leftovers, which definitely justified the pricing. If you like bread pudding, don't skip dessert!

She said"the kitchen" messed up packing my order but instead of sending it back, she "fixed it". Honestly it seemed like she was trying to get me my food on time, but management should have been called to solve this problem and ensure I didnt leave the restaurant with collard greens missing all their juices. I didnt know what exactly happened with tje packaging, so since I was told the problem was "fixed", I took my food and left. The worst part was the deviled egg appetizer. Another casualty of the kitchen, apparently. It looked unappetizing when I got home and opened it, and the crab topping that I paid an extra $3 for gave off a very strong smell (reminiscent of the kitchen of a seafood restaurent) and also appeared wet. I'd guess they took crab straight from a can, put it on top of the eggs, and covered it with old bay seasoning. Very disappointing. Sadly these were not the only issues, as the collard greens themselves were bland and a little tough. There was also a wooden stick in my greens?? Not sure why. Although the catfish was fried well, that's the only satisfactory thing about this experience, and everything else ruined it.
