Bring your patience and an appetite! It's a small restaurant so getting a table takes some time. Our group of five had a reservation for 12:30pm on a Saturday and we're seated around 1:00pm when some tables finally cleared. It looked like there were two servers working the entire restaurant so getting our waters also took a bit of time. I promise the food is worth the wait. I got the grecco salad with rotisserie chicken, avgolemeno soup, and potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious. I wish I had two stomachs so I could order and eat more! My Greek friend swears by their chicken, potatoes, and avgolemeno soup and she didn't steer me wrong. Id love to return in the evening to sit at the bar sometime. Bar seating was more readily available than the tables. read more

Solid experience. We sat outside on a nice day and I enjoyed a hazy IPA draft on Happy Hour ($3 off), chips and salsa and salmon tacos with a side of yucca. Service was friendly. I wasn't wowed, but I enjoyed everything. My mom believes it is one of the best restaurants in Kentlands and she has been many times over the years. I was glad that the server suggested I could do one flour taco and one corn, when I was waffling on my choice. read more

Cute spot to get together with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. It was quiet and not so crowded. I got the steak burrito. It was not as I pictured in my head. It very much resembled a Chiopotle burrito wrapped in foil. I expected it to be on a plate with sauce and cheese poured on top where I would need a knife and fork. At least that is how other places have served it. This obviously is no fault of S&G. I just don't enjoy holding a burrito and trying to take a big bite. So I asked them for a plate instead of the plastic basket so I could use a knife and fork. I still ended up making a mess. I also got the yucca as a side and the aioli was excellent! Service was friendly. read more

Love this spot. Great food and drinks. And excellent service. Yanni knows the menu and makes great reccos. Love him and love sin and grin.

Immediately greeted when we walked in we took a high top table near the kitchen. The chips and salsa were good but we added the queso--which was delicious. My wife had the Go Fish salmon tacos and I had Baja tacos. Both were excellent. Staff was friendly and efficient. Will go again! read more

S&G is where the old Vasilis used to be. Though it's not a big place, for a weekday HH, the place seemed to be a bit short-staffed and the servers were just trying to keep up. We were offered complimentary chips and salsa. My "spicy chicken tacos" weren't spicy and were loaded with more sour cream and side items than chicken; the flour tortilla did not go well with this dish. I wouldn't come here expecting authentic Mexican, but if you're just looking for drinks and food, this is your spot. read more

This is a tiny place in Kentlands, with very limited seating. They don't take reservations, so it's a hit or miss with seating. We went there Friday night and had to wait for around 20 minutes, till we got a table. There is also limited place to stand and wait there. The servers were very friendly. There were two vegetarian tacos, which attracted me to the menu. We got the following: - Daddy's Guacamole: this was ok. A bit bland for my liking. Wish it was a bit more spicy. But we enjoyed it. - Queso: I never order queso anywhere but this was delicious. Way better than the guacamole. Better seasoned and flavored. - Inspiration Tacos: this is one of the two vegetarian options. This had cauliflower, chickpeas, and cabbage slaw. I wish it was more flavorful and seasoned. I added a bit hot sauce to get more spice. Overall, great food but very limited seating. So if you find a spot, definitely try it out. read more

We ordered a carryout order from Sin and Grin. They were missing one part of the order, either packaged in another bag that we don't receive or maybe another customer accidentally took part of our order. We had to drive back up to the restaurant again to get our chicken pita and fries, I spoke to the manager/owner, no apology, instead she stated that she saw her employee package up all our food and stated, "are you saying my employee is a liar?" No, it was just a mistake. Good customer service in a restaurant is believing that the customer is honest when they say they didn't get all of their order and trying to make things right, not arguing or being confrontational thinking I'm scamming to get a free meal. I like the food here, but they just lost a customer. read more

Small cozy dining room, with great service and a well made menu! Great specials and core menu in this neighborhood gem!

I was in town visiting my sister and niece for New Year's Eve and we went to Sin & Grin for dinner. The food is made FRESH and it's so delicious! Everyone is beyond friendly and welcoming. It's a small, intimate, joyful place! I will definitely be back when I am in town. read more

Good vegetarian food. I don't recommend the fish or chicken. Fish was very smelly. Chicken tasted like it had been prepared 8 hours ago... cold and inedible texture. we threw our tacos out. The cauliflower tacos were great. I'd go back but definitely only a few items from menu read more

Great food, excellent service, and will certainly go back. It is kind of small but it also adds to the charm.

Tuesday 9/17/2024 I made an uber eats delivery order and got the whole chicken with oven roasted potatos & French fries $27, steak attack tacos (on flour tortilla) with black beans & saffron rice $16, burrito with fajita chicken $17, and the go fish tacos (oflour tortilla) with black beans & saffron rice. - The whole chicken is cut into 8 pieces and comes with a sauce but it doesn't really do anything flavor wise. It's just chicken, nothing impressive to me. - The oven roasted potatoes were average at best. They could've been better with more seasoning and maybe a bit more crisp. - The French fries absolutely SUCKED. First, there is 0 seasoning on these fries and second, the style of fries are not good. - The steak attack tacos were underwhelming as they were just okay. Also $16 for 2 tacos plus rice & beans is overpriced. - The go fish tacos were very good and easily my favorite item. The salmon was good and made for a pretty good taco. Also $17 for 2 tacos plus rice & beans is overpriced. - The burrito with fajita chicken was solid but overpriced with that $17 price tag that should instead be closer to around$12 (I can get a similar or bigger burrito from chipotle for like $11). - The black beans & saffron rice were okay. Overall, the spot has a few highlights but the prices are what would keep me away as it's quite expensive for the food you get (taste wise & portion wise). I do highly recommend the go fish tacos. read more

This little eatery has a big flavor and a bigger bar! That was the first thing I noticed- the bar seems overwhelmingly well stocked and massive relative to the indoor space. They also have some outdoor seating, but given the throes of humid heat in the summer, that is never my preference. I did appreciate their space for doggies outside though! Inside, there are some bar seats and tables, but for a weekend, be ready to wait or order to go. The space is packed tight, so you can easily chat with fellow diners and make new friends! I love that! The one thing that may be slightly confusing is the parking because they are on Main Street but map apps may tell you to go to the parking lot for the adjacent shopping plaza area - don't worry though, there is a pathway through! Anyhow, the menu is splendid! I loved the menu but unfortunately my stomach is never large enough for what I want to eat, so I just had the avocado tacos. Although it is two tacos, they are served each with 2 corn tortillas (or flour if you ask). For those carbo-phobic folks, just pass on the outer tortilla (and hand it to me?)! The two tacos were filled abundantly with a balanced mix of sauce (salsa Roja), crunch (lettuce), flavor and smooth avocado. Loved it! Hungry me would've loved the option to add a third taco for a few bucks... The tacos came with black beans and saffron rice. The portions were just right for a normal appetite. Loved the light fluffy rice, and the not too salted nature of it or of the black beans. The black beans were also not flooded in liquid, which I always appreciate. Oh, and of course, when you sit down, they have house-made tortilla chips and salsa. They were good, but not amazing - a little greasy, like they fried them at an oil temperature a little too low. The salsa accompaniment was good, but hard to pick up with lots of liquid and not much tomato veggie goodness. Still, gratis is gratis, and I definitely enjoyed these before the tacos! All in all, I would welcome the opportunity to return here for dining. The food is fresh, arrives from the kitchen unbelievably quickly, and the atmosphere is very lively. The staff are helpful and efficient. Parking is free. Prices are as expected for this part of G-burg. Conclusion: see you there soon! read more

Every time I eat at this restaurant, I feel like they just got the delivery from the produce delivery and the meat delivery. It's taste so fresh and so good it's amazing. Now some of the food is a little pricey, but I can tell you this I have never had a bad meal. The rotisserie chicken is delicious The beans and potatoes we get on the side or simply tastey. The ambience in the restaurant is very nice with a wonderful bar. It just has all of the necessary things you need from a fine sitdown restaurant or takeout. read more

S&G is one of our two favorite restaurants in the Kentlands, the other being Kenaki.

I have been a patron of Sin & Grin since they opened for business. I live just blocks from their establishment and it is common for my wife and me to walk over for lunch or dinner every single day they are open. We have NEVER had a bad meal. Not once. Everything is consistently delicious. The owners, Bill and Julie, are always welcoming hosts and both are extraordinarily skilled in the kitchen. Their salmon, shrimp, lamb and beef, carnitas, rotisserie chicken, steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, and veggie Bowls are to die for - and healthy to boot. Their son, Yanni, now manages the "front of the house". It is your quintessential "family restaurant". The ambience is warm and inviting, they have a full bar, and an outside dining area that it always full, weather permitting. In short, it became and remains our favorite place to eat. https://singrintacos.com/ read more

Sin & Grin - Tacos Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've been to this place multiple times before and never had an issue -- I've been served alcohol here with the same ID on several occasions. Today, though, I had a completely different and frustrating experience. A young female server checked my ID, bent it, and actually cracked it. She then took it to her manager, who refused to serve me, despite the fact that I'm 23 years old and my ID is 100% valid. What makes this even more frustrating is that my boyfriend, who was checked right before me, had his ID accepted without question -- she didn't bend or even scrutinize his. If bending IDs is "procedure," why was mine the only one treated that way? To top it all off, I now have to go through the hassle of getting a brand new ID -- and fast -- because I need it for an upcoming flight. This was not only unprofessional, it was careless and costly. Extremely disappointed in how the staff and manager handled the situation, and I won't be returning. read more

Good food and service in this neighborhood establishment. Recommend the tacos, chips, and drinks.

Decided to get takeout from here on a weeknight! Because we frequent the Kentlands area we were surprised we hadn't tried this place yet. So we got a ton of food for 2 people (and ate it all in one sitting LOL). For myself I got the Steak & Cheese Sub, and for David I got him the Carnitas Burrito. We shared the Kickin Shrimp Taco Platter. Steak & Cheese Sub: Just okay - was expecting more seeing others' reviews saying how good this was and wanted to try it. Definitely good flavor but as you can see in the photo not much meat, it was mostly bread. The meat that we did taste was very good! The fries that we got with it were unseasoned and just taste like plain fries. Overall was a little disappointed. Kickin Shrimp Tacos: Again, got a lot of flour tortilla here, not much shrimp. It was basically flour tortilla and cilantro cream sauce per bite. Was REALLY (not just a little) disappointed by the rice and beans here. The beans were not seasoned at all, not even with straight up salt? Tasted like they just got boiled in a pot and dumped into the container. No good. Carnitas Burrito: I think this was the saving grace here and is what I am essentially giving my 3 stars to. HUGE burrito. Good flavor and creamy, cheesy, loaded. The best deal of the 3 things we got. Overall, would recommend the burrito, the other stuff I probably wouldn't order again. read more

Really really impressed here with this place. It's small but has outdoor seating and a small bar area inside. They make it work and it flows nice. Food was so delicious. Great helpings of meat in all the food we got and heat flavor. Not too overpowering. Our waitress was very nice and engaging. This place is right in the main area of Kentlands and just screams quaint. Which I love. This is a place where you can pop in, grab a seat at the bar or outside, grab good food, take your time eating with a beer in hand, and walk out happy. I could tell this was a place where quality of food and service is king. I will be coming back when I'm in the area. For sure. read more

Food is good drinks ok service was good just a small place would not go out of my way to go back again

Food: -complimentary chips and salsa- Both were fresh and the chips were crisp. -Aja Baja tacos - Ratio of batter to fish was disproportionate. There was more batter than fish. I would have liked more fish, but on a positive note the extra batter made it extra crunchy. The cabbage, charred corn picco, and jalapeño lime sauce complimented the the tacos perfectly. The tacos come with beans and rice. If you substitute the sides, it cost a $1 extra. Our server said she liked the fries so I substituted the beans for fries. I'm glad I did. -Rotisserie Chicken with spinach and yucca - My colleague really enjoyed her lunch and said it was tasty. Menu: Paper or contactless digital menus (via QR code) are available. Service: -We arrived around 12:20 on a Tuesday. Our server was good although the restaurant wasn't too busy. However, I thought the kitchen was slow in preparing our food. Ambiance: Cozy. Indoor and outdoor patio seating available. Tips: -Sign up for the S&G Rewards if you liked the food and plan to dine frequently. -Online ordering is available. -Delivery is available through: Doordash, Ubereats, Grubhub read more

Great food! We've been here many times since moving here. Service is also excellent. This is now our go-to spot.

Excellent food and very amiable service. Nestled behind most of the bustle, it is a great place for a quiet meal and conversation.

I have eaten from this place a few times. This time in particular i ordered the quarter rotisserie chicken dark meat and fries. My fries were fried so hard that they were not edible. My chiken while crisp on the outside was not done inside and lacked flavor. The chicken was still slimy inside. $20 later and rushing i was unable to return the food or else i would have. read more

A bizarre offering of both Mexican and Mediterranean food, but not necessarily a fusion. Overall: 3/10. Food: the food at Sin & Grin feels like it does not have an identity, the menu is not Mexican food or Mediterranean or a fusion. Highly recommend against the steak fajita burrito; although my wife said the fish tacos were okay. Value: food was a bit overpriced for what it was, between $17-19 for a burrito?! It had like 6 pieces of steak inside Service: Great, attentive staff, no complaints on service Ambiance: small quaint restaurant, nothing stands out for good or bad I would not go back; there are better options for both Mexican and Mediterranean food nearby. read more

A very satisfying experience on many levels. The service was excellent, the servers were friendly and expedient. The young lady behind the bar skillfully mixed up magic potions in her shaker, very delicious cocktails. The food, while eclectic, was executed perfectly across the board, no matter if you ordered a Greek dish, a Latin dish or an American. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I loved my lamb and beef wrap. My daughter loved her chicken quesadilla and my wife enjoyed her dinner as well. This place is a keeper! read more

Stumbled upon Sin & Grin on my first visit to the Kentlands area. While driving through the area saw the sign that said rotisserie chicken, tacos, and salads. At first somewhat skeptical, as that seemed like an odd combo, but decided to give it a try. Super cute and cozy space. Felt like you were eating in your own home. We wanted to try a few each of the advertised items, so we ordered the buffalo chicken wings (6 piece), Main Street tacos (2 per order) that came with your choice of a side, we went with the salad. As we were waiting for our food I couldn't help notice all the yummy plates that were being brought out. Saw a nice looking salmon bowl, with rice and spinach, that I will be trying next time. All of what we ordered was awesome. The chicken in the tacos was nice and juicy (thinking it was their rotisserie chicken) and paired well with the toppings. Buffalo wings had to have been one of my favorite buffalo wings. I'm usually not a fan of sauce on my wings especially buffalo, but this buffalo sauce was just right. The blue cheese seemed like it was made in house with chunks of blue cheese that made it a perfect match with this wing. What was great about these wings is that they were nice and crispy which is a huge plus for wings. No soggy wings here!! Would definitely visit this spot on a regular basis if I lived closer. This place is a winner in my book. read more
