Just incredible.

I do appreciate that they let me try it first, only to be like... maybe not! I've come here for tacos. They're perfectly fine for DC. Amazing? Not so much, but hey, it's still a perfectly okay spot. I like the outdoor patio seating when you have the rare nice day weather in DC. That is a major selling point. Otherwise, head indoors.

A California Burrito is a challenging thing to find on the east coast period, let alone a good one…read more San Pancho's version of the San Diego classic is absolutely top notch and would go toe-to-toe with the La Perla's, Humberto's, and The Taco Stand's of SoCal. The tortillas are fresh, the salsas and guacs house made and flavor packed, and the drink specials are always fun and unique. Not to mention the fun loving and efficient staff. By far the best California Burrito in the D.C. metro area, possibly on the entire east cost.

Even though the restaurant was packed that day, we managed to sit and place an order. The servers…read morewere attentive and the restaurant was clean. The decor is cute and the space is small inside, but there is plenty of outdoor seating. The burrito was delicious.The rice and beans were pretty good and the steak was tender. The meat and/or rice and beans could be seasoned a little more. The salsa wasn't spicy at all which was a bit disappointing. The horchata latte was delicious! My friend chugged it (that's how good it was lol). The agua de jamaica was very refreshing. It wasn't too sweet, just perfect!

I like this new location for Chicatana. It's just down the road from my place and I enjoy the…read moreoutdoor patio with the colorful paintings in the background. I had dinner here recently and I enjoyed the casual nature of the spot. I've gone to their previous location, which had a fire, and I like this current location much better even if it doesn't seem as popular as before. The food remains the same. Good, but not the best mexican. Though, I was spoiled living in california previously. The tacos and dips are the winner here. The quesadillas are heavy with the thick corn meal outer coating. It's just not to my taste. Overall, it's a great spot though. If it's nice weather, this is a go-to to sit on the deck. On my visit, they didnt have a liquor license but they now have it!

Spicy passionfriut margs! Delicious…read more Plantain w/ brisket: Excellent starter! The whole thing was amazing and the brisket was phenomenal. Tacos - Overall quite generous portions of filler. Rajas: This was my wife's favorite by far. Al Pastor: Far and away my favorite taco. Carne Asada: Tasted great and was what we wanted. Suadero/Carnitas/Pollo: These were fine. They lacked the intense flavors of the other tacos and while none were bad, I wouldn't get them again. Shrimp: My wife did not really like this one. Passionfruit Flan: Very subtle and not too sweet. The price was great and it was larger then expected. We enjoyed this. We enioyed our dinner on the upper outside patio and the service was great. The guy who delivers the food is so cheerful and our server gave great recommendations.

Took my son to this taqueria for dinner and it did not disappoint!…read more It's a small restaurant with maybe 3-4 small tables and counter seating for 4-5. (It looks like it used to be an American diner). Everything is made to order right in front of you and it's all fresh. I had carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos with black beans and rice. You can order à la carte or as a platter - I chose the platter because I was hungry! They were delicious- especially the carnitas! All the accompaniments are authentic and super fresh. The tortillas are made on site and sooo soft and tasty. We also ordered chicken flautas which come with créma and guacamole. These were also very tasty. The restaurant seems to be run by a couple. They were prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the food so much that I forgot to take pictures first. Next time!

This was my first time trying the paella and it was a 10/10 full of flavor and cooked perfectly. My friend got the mussels and a steak quesadilla, and both were really good. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the drinks? Strong and HUGE exactly how they should be. The music loud and get you dancing. Our server was fast and very attentive. I love this place so bad. It's definitely one of my go-to spots!

I popped in to take in the mild weather day and their amazing covered patio (highly recommend)…read more They had the fifa games playing on a wide screen but had some fun Latin music playing. The chips are perfection--very thin, crunchy, fresh, with a slight amount of salt. The salsa was tomato forward, and while I usually crave heat, I really liked the balanced flavor--so much I had two bowls! I orders the cheese enchiladas and it was massive and oh so cheesy. There were cheese pulls for days. The rice was good, I tasted the beans and they were also okay. This really hit my craving spot on, and I had a few beers on the patio because the weather and vibe were just right. My server was Eric and he was very consistent and very great. He made sure I never had an empty plate or glass, which was very appreciated. Overall really great time!

Mi Rancho's prices are reasonable, the portion sizes good, and the staff friendly and helpful. I appreciated the delicious complementary chips and salsa, and we were able to get refills. Mi Rancho is also very family-friendly-they have high chairs, an extensive kid's menu, and we saw several kids there. I got the mixed chicken and beef fajitas for my dinner. While the meat was a little tough and needed a bit more flavor, the accompaniments were good and combined with the salsa, produced great flavor. I would recommend Mi Rancho if you're looking for a family-friendly, laid-back dinner in Silver Spring.
