1 Star is too much -- Very disappointing experience…read more We were really excited to try this restaurant because we were hoping for an authentic Argentinian dining experience. Unfortunately, it was nothing like what we expected, and the food was extremely disappointing. Then I found out the owner is Bolivian not even Argentinian. The chimichurri was red and had a very different taste than what we expected. The green hot sauce was basically like eating raw jalapeño--extremely overpowering. The mashed potatoes were watery and very salty, and the broccoli was literally sitting in so much water that almost half of the bowl was full of it. The rice tasted like microwave rice, and the French fries were just ordinary fries. The biggest disappointment was the meat. It was extremely fatty, chewy, and had almost no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. For an Argentinian restaurant, the quality and preparation of the meat should be one of the highlights, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. Honestly, we could barely eat our food and ended up leaving most of it. What made the experience even worse was that, despite barely being able to eat the food, we were still charged half of the meal. The total bill was over $85, and that included $5 for a small cup of what tasted like microwave rice. Just in case the food looks half-empty in the pictures, we did put some of the food onto our plates to try it. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat it, so that's why some of the containers look partially empty. As someone who was genuinely looking forward to trying Argentinian food, this experience was incredibly disappointing. In my opinion, this restaurant does not represent the quality or flavors that people expect from Argentinian cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would not return.

We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

I also got the bandeja paisa (with kidney beans, steak, fried egg, pork belly, etc.), knowing it would take about 20 minutes on a Monday at 10:45 a.m. That wait felt outrageous, though--only about 10 people were in a space that could easily hold 100. However, the pork belly and steak wasn't overcooked and very flavorful. Even the sausage bursted with flavor. The food was authentic and tasty, but the long wait is a dealbreaker for me unless I'm with a friend craving Latin food and have time to spare. I probably won't return on my own unless it's a weekend and I have time to kill.

If you're craving the comforting, bold flavors of Colombian cuisine, Arepas Pues is a must-visit. This casual spot keeps things simple--order at the counter, grab a seat, and get ready for a meal that tastes like home (or a plane ticket to Medellín). I started with the beef empanadas, which were crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. Paired with their house ají sauce, they were an addictive, flavorful kick-off to the meal. The standout dish, though, was the flank steak stew, served with tender potatoes and fluffy white rice--hearty, savory, and soul-satisfying. The vibe is laid-back and unpretentious, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your food without any fuss. Service was solid and friendly, and the prices are more than fair for the generous portions you get. As the name suggests, the arepas are a highlight--whether you go for the gooey cheese-filled or the rich, golden egg arepa, you're in for a treat. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try authentic Colombian food done right. Whether you're familiar with the cuisine or trying it for the first time, Arepas Pues delivers comfort and flavor in every bite. read more

Can an employer withhold tips? The bill states: "An employer may not keep tips received by its employees for any purposes, including allowing managers, or supervisors to keep any portion of employees' tips, regardless of whether or not the employer takes a tip credit." ... "Employers -- including managers and supervisors -- can never keep tips. FEDERAL LAW. Abusive management keeping tips and the way it works is as follows: You order as you do in any coffee-shop when paying the cashier turns around the litle machine pointing out the amount and the tip, (why a tip if I have not been served, don't know how the service would go. Was told that the % that I would enter to the machine would go to the cashier, but if I rather put it in the plastic container aside the cash machine this would go to the restaurant owners ... Not only this restaurant owners are abusing the customers but also the employees. Been there before but this time everything was cold and old. read more

My roommate and I stopped in after an afternoon at the Silver Spring farmers market. The walls are beautifully colorful so it sets a cheery mood. We split a yucca and onion appetizer and got two arepas with plantain, avocado, beans, cheese and cilantro. Everything was delicious! Since they just opened, service was a little slow and they got confused with our order, but were quick to fix it and very apologetic. The staff were very, very nice, though. I would definitely go again and see how they improve with more time! read more

Yes, this is as good as it gets around the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. In fact, it is better than the food we get in Colombia during our annual 3-month visits to the Coffee Region. We have eaten a lot of bandaja paisa in Colombia, but none comes close to what is served here. The empanadas are superb and not at all greasy as is the norm. In short, this is 5-star Colombian food in the DC area - something we have not experienced before. Highly recommended and an exceptional value. read more

Unfortunately, due to bad past experiences with mofongo from other places, I decided to skip the mofongo and go for a guisada (stew). Generally speaking the beef stew, which was served with beans and rice was decent. However, for my tastes, the stew seemed to be really greasy/fatty. I do not think that I ever had a guisado with so many fat droplets in the "soup". Also, I thought the beef was a bit tough/chewy for a stew; I was expecting the meat to be a bit more tender. While the stew was not horrible, I will say that I was a bit disappointed that I spent $20 on it. Since this is a Domincan restaurant, a little Spanish might go a long way. Overall, I thought the staff was nice. However, this appears to be a place where the staff knows a lot of the customers (or at least the Latino customers), so you might feel a bit like a persona non grata upon entry. However, they'll probably will warm up to you after a few minutes. While I somewhat enjoyed my stew, I really enjoyed my margaritas more. Since I'm still new to the area, I might check out some other Latin/Dominican restaurants before circling back around this restaurant.

I could've looked past this if it had been busy but it was not. There's also no parking - they had to give us a paper (like a printed out temporary parking pass) to go out in our car so we wouldn't get towed. The inside still looks good, clean and authentic. I felt sad as I drove away. This place was amazing when I was younger and it was always so packed on a Friday night we knew there would be a wait!

While folks at my table went with Tex-Mex options, I decided to go with a Salvadorian option. In particular, I went with the Sopa de Marisocos, which was served with fish, a whole crab, mussels, shrimps, clams, and eggs. I thought the 20 dollar price tag as pretty fair considering how much seafood was in the bowl of soup. Although I thought the soup should have come with rice, I did not realize that the soup was served with tortillas. I guess the tortillas were the rice substitute. Overall, I thought the soup was very delicious and seasoned very well. I'm glad that I followed the waitress' advice and went with the addition of cream to the soup because it elevated the soup's flavor. Besides the soup, I had my fair share of margaritas. I thought the margaritas were mixed well because they were not too sweet or acidic for me. Also, the restaurant has happy hour most days until 6 pm (or was it 7 pm?). I have to say that I must visit again, because there are a lot of things on the menu that I would like to try during my next visitS. Overall, I thought the service was impeccable. Our bartender, who later became our waitress, was very helpful in making recommendations and suggestions regarding the menu. Also, she was very patient because it took us a while to finally order food - although we did order plenty of margaritas while deciding on what to eat. The restaurant is a decent size with both indoor and outdoor seating. From the way the tables are arranged, El Gavilan looks like it is very accommodating for medium sized groups. The restaurant does have parking; however, the parking lot is a bit tight.
