The place was clean and comfortable. We had the mole, the Pollo, the Al Pastor, and the chorizo and I'd be hard to tell you that any one was my "favorite". I feel like I need to go back to try more of the menu.

This restaurant was for more than a decade one of my very best recommendation for food, ambience and of course service. Service was impeccable, they always had a great, great service, I visited them with my family last Monday 08/17/2026 and the service was terrible. First they didn't know what to do with a table of five, but the worst part was when they were picking up plates when we were still holding the steaks knife and forks, why they were rushing us? They needed to set another family? Cool, but that was rude. Crew seems very down, I'm sure they probably changed their old management team. Sad. Disappointed. Thinking twice to come back or recommending. Kitchen crew did a great job, food was delicious and well executed. Five stars for them only*

Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

Juicy thin steak with great flavor. My trio entree was solid for 2/3 items. The chicken and steak fajita pieces were great, but my bacon wrapped shrimp was burned which caused it to be slightly bitter. Also, the lemonade is just from the fountain I think. I wish they made it in house so it tasted more refreshing. The overall rating is closer to 3.5 than 4, but I rounded it up. Service was pretty great, our server was on point. And I love the decorations inside, and they are at a prime spot in Rio so it feels a little lively. Glad I came to check em out again.

They have a nice private back room for private events or their comedy shows. The main restaurant has a nice bar area and TV's for football or whatever sport. I always got the same thing, the enchiladas. Food is solid. Prices are reasonable here, which was a nice change in the 2020's. What I realized in 2024 was the enchiladas and plates are kind of on the smaller side. When I think of sit-down Mexican restaurants, I think of hearty meals, but this wasn't so hearty. I was hungry several hours later that night in 2024. In January 2025, I was here for a friend's birthday party and remembered that the portions are smaller than typical Mexican restaurants, so I added a bean pupusa to my enchilada plate, which was excellent, even better than the enchiladas, which are solid. It was a little chaotic with the number of people there, and the awkward table setup. It would've been better having that backroom, but there was a comedy show or something happening that night in there, so we made do with the long high tables put together in the middle of the restaurant. Service has always been good here overall in terms of friendliness, but a couple of times when things ran a bit slow. Also, beer pitchers were cheap too. I remember the couple of events where people split including at the January 2025, my friend's brother & his wife split beer with me. Overall, it's a good local business in the area. In spite of a few flaws, mostly good & would return again in the future.

Had to ask 3 times. No water. Had to ask twice. And honestly would've ordered dessert but the server never came around again. They still get 20% auto gratuity which is crazy. No way would I be tipping 20% for this service.

Other friend ordered the shredded chicken burrito & he said it was one of the best he's had- juicy chicken, just enough veg. The service is fantastic here. Very friendly and welcoming.

There were about two tables occupied so I didn't understand why the tacos took as long as they did. The employees were really nice and apologetic for the wait.

The cheese was an overkill and took away from the actual steak. I instantly got nauseous and couldn't enjoy them.

1/5 Unfortunately,…read morethis place was a huge disappointment. Honestly, the customer service made the entire experience worse. We came in smiling, excited, and ready to spend money trying a new Mexican spot. Instead, we quickly got the impression that our business was an inconvenience. Let's start with the prices. I ordered a maracuyá (passion fruit) drink for $4.19, and my husband ordered a cranberry drink for $4.19. Neither is refillable, which I normally wouldn't even complain about, but that's over $8 for two basic non-alcoholic drinks. For perspective, I buy the maracuyá drink mix at the Mexican market for less than $5, and that one package makes at least FIVE drinks this size. I'm saying this mostly because they were making money off of us. They brought us chips and salsa when we sat down. Most Mexican restaurants around here offer unlimited chips and salsa, so when we finished the first basket, we asked for another. He brought it. After bringing our drinks, however, the man helping us took forever to come back to take our food order. Another staff member repeatedly walked around us like we were invisible. Eventually, we had to WAVE HIM DOWN just to place our order. We ordered chile con queso WITH BEEF, exactly as it was labeled on the menu, along with chile relleno with beef. The queso arrived WITH NO BEEF. We very kindly pointed out that the beef was missing. Instead of simply saying, "Oh, sorry about that," and correcting it, he seemed confused and started going back and forth with us about it. We asked for the menu because we knew what we had ordered. He took the cheese dip away, went toward the kitchen, and then YELLED across the restaurant to us that it would be $9.36. My husband responded that was fine because THAT WAS WHAT WE ORDERED. Then somehow the chips became another issue. When our almost $10 queso dip came back, there were NO CHIPS brought with it. When we asked about chips, he responded with an attitude that he wasn't going to give us any more. My husband, genuinely confused at this point, asked how exactly he was supposed to eat the queso. With a spoon??? Well, apparently so, because the man came back with another basket of chips... AND A SPOON. You seriously can't make this stuff up. And that really sums up the experience. Restaurants make mistakes. That wasn't the problem. It was the attitude, the lack of attentiveness, having to wave someone down just to order, arguing over something clearly listed on the menu, yelling a price across the restaurant, and then acting bothered over providing chips for a nearly $10 DIP. We walked in happy, friendly, and excited to try somewhere new. We left knowing we will never come back. My advice? There are more than enough Mexican restaurants in the Muddy Branch/Gaithersburg area to choose from. Try one of the others. Based on our experience, this place clearly has enough business that making new customers feel welcomed and valued isn't a priority.

My friend and I had a taste for tacos so we thought we should try this place. I am always in that area and always wanted to try them so why not. The food was great. I ordered the carne asada quesadillas and my friend ordered the carne asada burrito bowl. Both had great flavor. The meat was cooked to the right temperature and had great seasoning. I only wish the tortilla for the quesadilla was cooked a little more. I would have enjoyed a good crunch. The burrito bowl was delicious as well. Very filling but not too heavy. The service was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They made sure that we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cool. Its a small authentic taco shop but it was very clean and organized which I always appreciate. It was a great experience. Check them out if you are in the area. Cheers!
