I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

I didn't know that they only offered brunch during…read morethe weekend so I was a little disappointed as I wanted to try something more complex but we enjoyed what we ate. Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

I don't recommend this place during lunch or dinner. They clearly can not handle the traffic and…read moreyou can't get your food fast enough to eat and get back because it takes a seriously long time for the food to come out, then you have to open up all the packed food to add the toppings. The line at the toppings bar can be another 10 minutes. The staff is incredibly rude, doesnt understand what dairy is, and they have never included beans in the burrito bowl and I've ordered it 4 times. Even with a cheap price, it's not worth it because the food is mediocre and they never get the order right. The chicken is dry every time. Then they charge something like 54 cents just for a Togo bag or else you have to carry the boxes. They also fail to put the orders together the way they were ordered. For example if you go with a group of friends and you each separately order, they put all the tacos mixed in 1 box. Last time it became a huge argument and they unpacked the entire order, threw away all the boxes, reboxed it, then wouldnt give our food back until we each paid (again) for 53 cents for each to go bag; held our food hostage for $2.12. If you're very poor and don't value your time, this is a decent spot to stuff your gut. And if you're thinking of taking a date here, don't. They decorated it like a NY cab stand for some reason, and it's a cafeteria, not a restaurant. Many people find the toppings bar disgusting because it is not up to health code.

I was so excited to learn about the Torchy's Tacos in Rockville. I've only ever enjoyed Torchy's…read morewhile visiting family in Texas, so it was nice to know that I can get my Torchy's fix more often. When you enter the restaurant, you can either order at the kiosk or the register. The menu is extensive, but I doubt there isn't something on the menu you'd like. After placing your order, you sit at one of the dining tables in the large dining area, and a staff member brings your food out to you when it's ready. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I ordered a chicken fajita taco and a bacon egg and cheese taco - yes, they serve breakfast items all day - and shared some queso and chips. As expected, the tacos were delicious, fresh and flavorful. The queso is one of my favorite things on the menu. If you're in the area and want to try some unique tacos, definitely try out Torchy's!

The staff was friendly and gave some suggestions, but the service is mostly you doing things. The food was good, nothing amazing but pretty good! Good portions of meat and interesting flavors that work together. The steak was tender enough and the chicken was good. The only thing I would suggest would be a heated up tortilla and meltier cheese on top. Overall most of them were pretty decent! 3.5/5 Chips and sampler was good! I do like the chips tasted freshly made and the guacamole and salsa were great! The queso was decent not my favorite, but it was a good addition to the trio. 4/5 Overall, this place is better than Taco Bamba and what I would compare it to with thier similar fusion flavors. I'd go back and try some more things!

I had an excellent dinner here with a friend! When we saw how busy it was, we knew we were in for a…read moregood meal! They have a large inside seating area that gets a little loud. We sat outside on the patio, which is spread out and much quieter. Some place in the DMV charge for chips and salsa (which I hate), so I was very happy that they had included chips with a delicious and light house made salsa. We both ordered a combination platter and were pleased with our dishes. They definitely qualify as Tex mex, with generous sides of beans and rice. I'd love to come back on a beautiful day and sit outside on the patio and get some good drinks next time! They have a big menu that I'd love to try.

I ordered the "Steak A La Salvadorena" and while the steak itself was tasty, moist, and tender, I…read moredid have a few issues with the order. First off, they got my order slightly wrong. I wanted to sub the salad for a side of fries. When the food came, and I will say it was a pretty long wait time, a little under an hour, I pointed it out to the waitress and she had no problem bringing me the fries while letting me keep the salad. The salad itself was a bit plain, but it had a fresh, crisp taste to it which paired nicely with the heavy steak, so I can't complain too much. The rice and beans are classic, nothing that's going to blow you away, but still good and exactly what you'd expect. Outside of the food, I found the location pleasant. Trying to find the entrance was a bit more difficult than I would've liked since it's on the side of Georgia Avenue, but once you get inside, the tables and seating were nice. There were also a couple TVs in the back playing a live soccer match, which was a nice touch even if you can't hear much of it. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're ever in the area.

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.

I started with the guacamole and had the enchiladas for my main. Both were really tasty. My husband ordered from the vegan menu and was thrilled with his meal. It's rare to find genuinely delicious vegan options that aren't an afterthought. Honestly, the prices are incredibly reasonable compared to similar restaurants in Bethesda, Rockville, and DC. We would have easily paid double elsewhere for this quality. Not complaining though. We'll definitely be back.

Stale generic chips and a really dull salsa are free, and I was told the pupusas are great. But the chicken tostada I got was pretty terrible. You could tell they just used bagged lettuce like you get at the store over some rubbery, dry chicken. Two thick slices of avocado, tomato and cucumber come with it. None had much flavor.

I got three carne asada tacos and the guacamole, chips and chicharron. The restaurant imports the corn for their tortillas from Mexico and this really helped to elevate the carne asada tacos. The tacos were well seasoned, the salsas added a nice acidity and brightness to the meat, and the tortillas are incredible. The guacamole, chips, and chicharron were also great. The guacamole was creamy and balanced out the richness of the chicharron. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Hijos Del Maiz and I will definitely be back.
