    Very disappointed. Food was not good whatsoever. Quesadilla was filled with barely cooked canned chicken and the esquites stunk terribly.

    You can tell they cook them fresh, and the seasoning was just right, not greasy at all.

    A Hidden Gem in Gaithersburg!…read more If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, a fun atmosphere, and outstanding service, you have to visit Señor Tequilas in Gaithersburg, Maryland! From the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed with a smile and seated right away. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the service is incredibly fast. Best of all, the food is made fresh and arrives hot to your table. I ordered the Queso Birria Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, the tortillas were perfectly grilled, and the flavorful consommé and house-made sauces took everything to another level. 10/10! My favorite part, though, has to be the décor. The vibrant colors, traditional Mexican papel picado hanging from the ceiling, and beautiful artwork instantly transported me to Mexico. The music creates the perfect atmosphere, making it a wonderful place to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Whether you're planning a casual dinner, celebrating a birthday, hosting a corporate event, or a private party, Señor Tequilas is a fantastic place to gather. Everyone is welcomed like family. If you're in the area and haven't been yet, you're truly missing out. I can't wait to come back! 5/5 Highly Recommended!

    We stopped in early to get the Happy Hour. Sope, flautitas and street corn. Excellent!…read more Best part, though, was Sergio! He is an amazing server. He took such good care of us that we wanted to stay for hours. We ordered desert (chimichanga cheesecake!) Just so we could interact with him more.

    We went for breakfast on a Wednesday around 8:45 and there was only one other person there so not…read morecrowded at all. Restaurant was sparkling clean and service was quick and pleasant. We got 2 breakfast platters which have egg of your choice with meat (one had chorizo, the other had shredded beef), awesome dipping sauces, refried beans, generous portion of well-topped chilaquiles, and a slab of seared cheese. It was all terrific, very filling and a great value ($12/platter). The only negative was that it took 10-15 mins for our food to come out when there was no one else waiting for food. But, we had some time to kill and were not expecting much for a Mexican breakfast, so were pleasantly surprised and are planning to go back to check-out their dinner service.

    I recently stopped back into La Gula Mexicana after not visiting for a while, and I'm happy to say…read moreit's just as good as I remembered. This used to be one of my regular go-to spots, especially when I was craving a fresh veggie burrito, and this visit reminded me exactly why I loved it. I ordered my usual veggie burrito with extra cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and a little corn, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. One thing I've always appreciated about this restaurant is the consistency. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and you can tell everything is prepared with care. The customer service was just as memorable as the food. The staff was kind, courteous, and welcoming, making me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. It's always nice when you return to a favorite restaurant after some time away and discover that the quality hasn't changed. This visit definitely reminded me why La Gula Mexicana became one of my favorite local spots, and I'll be adding it back into my regular rotation. Highlights: * Fresh, flavorful veggie burrito * High-quality, fresh ingredients * Delicious additions of cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and corn * Friendly and courteous staff * Consistently great food and service * One of my favorite local Mexican restaurants

    Came here recently on a weeknight for dinner with my older parents. Dinner was delicious, service…read morewas quick and friendly. We loved their pork tamales, huge slices of fresh avocado, and pitchers of margaritas (we got the original on ice, but there are lots of flavors!). It may not be immediately noticeable, but the dining room is actually really beautiful. There are arched doorways between rooms with accent tiling, a chandelier, and intricate iron work. It feels casual, but there's so much attention to detail in your surroundings. Something to note: My father uses a walker and while there are two accessible parking spaces outside of the bakery next door, there is not way to get from those spaces to the entrance of Mi Rancho without going around their patio in the road. We ended up driving up to the entrance to pick him up as the slanted surface was too difficult for him. We'll definitely be back!

    Mi Rancho Germantown is always a solid Mexican place that delivers great food in HUGE servings!!!…read more The food is always fantastic, fresh and filling. Always! On my most recent visit, the weather was fantastic so we ate outside. There are far too few nice weather days in the Washington DC area so we took advantage of it. Even looking out on the parking lot and the driving school next door and the busy road nearby, we were happy Mexican campers! We loved the dining patio and enjoyed the cool weather. Our shrimp tacos did not disappoint. There was so much food that we were stuffed. We both had margaritas and those made us feel good too. But, for dinner that night, the outstanding part of our experience was Eva, our server. Smart, adorable, fast, professional and very friendly! I believe that Evan will make an excellent lawyer but, given how nice she is, I recommend she select a less conflictual career. We had as much fun talking to Eva as we had talking to each other. Mi Rancho isn't fancy but it also isn't expensive. It is a comfortable casual place to get great food, drinks and have lots of fun. I highly recommend Mi Ranch for your next Tex-Mex meal!!!
