As a local business owner with over 20 years of experience serving customers, I understand how…read moreimportant customer service is. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at La Brasa have been very disappointing. The biggest issue has been the customer service. The person answering the phone has been consistently rude, has taken our orders incorrectly multiple times, and instead of trying to resolve mistakes professionally, argues with customers. That is simply not the level of respect or professionalism I expect from a business that has been part of the community for so many years. I have also noticed that the food quality has declined compared to what it used to be. It's disappointing because this restaurant once had an excellent reputation. I sincerely hope management addresses these concerns by improving customer service, training staff to communicate respectfully, and restoring the quality that made so many people loyal customers. I'd be happy to update my review if I see meaningful improvements.

Needed to find a place to take some out of town friends. This was the majority choice selection. I…read moredidn't realize I pass by this restaurant about once a month. So glad we got to experience it. The moment we sat down, the server provided complimentary chips with salsa. Delicious. Some of the many items we ordered were: Guacamole - great. tacos : shrimp, carne asada and lengua. Highly recommend the lengua tacos. Tacos themselves looked and tasted handmade. Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

This is such a missed spot that deserves probably more hype than it has. I've literally passed by…read morethis restaurant for years and decided to try it for the first time this year for Carry-out with friends.

Very casual and spacious restaurant but limited parking.

El Patio, located in Rockville is a family owned restaurant that serves traditional home-style meals from Argentina in a casual dining atmosphere. With their authentic Argentinian recopies, it gives diners a piece of Argentina in Rockville. One of the selling points for this restaurant is that it is a combination style restaurant( bakery, restaurant and packaged goods from Argentina. They have a wonderful selection of Argentinian wines. On Wednesday they have offer specials on bottles of wine for dining in and purchase. The food was absolutely delicious, we tried a variety of things. We started with the baked empanadas( chicken and beef). They were filling actually, nice and full of meat and flavorful. We also tried the Argentinean sausage sandwich. The sandwich came on this nice toasted bread. For dinner I had the Tira de Asado a la Parrilla( grilled beef short ribs). All the platters come with two sides. I got a salad and their french fries. OMG they have they best fries. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I didnt even use ketchup, that is how tasty they were. The salad was just a regular garden salad but the ingredients were so fresh, I didnt need any dressing. Their desserts are really good to, we got flan and the rogel. Overall everything was really good and I would definitely return. So if your over in the Rockville area, stop in, the food and service was really good SYOY

During my first visit, my friend and I finished a 9.5 mi hike at Annapolis Rock and built up an appetite. We ordered one of the most popular meat dishes on the menu. I especially loved the blood sausage and could have ordered an entire plate of the blood sausage alone!!! The parillada came with two sides, so I opted for vegetables and rice/bread to balance out the meal. I've now visited twice thus far and the ordered same thing on the menu because I loved it so much. This is the kind of place that is family-friendly, has great portions, and can enjoy your food in a relaxed environment.

I also ordered their passion fruit mojito for any alcohol drinkers. You can barely taste the alcohol in it. I wouldn't say it is a formal restaurant at all but could potentially you could come in slightly more formal for a date night. It is definitely family friendly and there's plenty of seating.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, regularly refilling our water glasses and checking to see if we needed anything. After we finished eating, we stayed for about 30 minutes just chatting and catching up, and we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Overall the place was fine, the chicken was fine, but they do not have the green spicy sauce. We asked for spicy sauce but we were provided with the little orange mayo version. The service was quick, you order, they bring you the food. Nothing more the expect.

I think the carne asada is expensive for the amount of meat you actually get. The pupusas are not great a the tomato sauce it comes with was pretty watery.
