Are you tired of tacos? Bored with burritos? Questioning quesadillas? Feeling deceived by all the restaurants advertising Mexican food that actually turn out to be Salvadorian restaurants? La Limena Grill is your chance to get away from the usual in Bethesda! We stopped here completely by accident one night and absolutely loved it! The food is authentic Peruvian food and it is delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the grilled fish, ceviche, and Peruvian chicken with yellow Chile sauce and olives. Peruvian food is such a unique experience and this place really captures it. You'll love it, guaranteed!

Paladar means palate, or "taste" and it's the right moniker for a place that offers small shareable plates, fresh ingredients, and happy hour pricing with free parking in the heart of trendy Rockville. Our large group was set up in a large front room with plenty of room to mingle that the organizers had requested ahead of time. The service was pretty good, as it was difficult to track drinks as various people trickled in. The food orders and drinks were served quickly and the bill was lower than expected for so many plates on the table. I ordered the chicken empanadas, and they were quite good-- the trio was maybe not as crispy as I would have liked, but that was probably my fault because we were 15 ladies chatting. After happy hour timed out at 7pm, we did not see our server as much.This cluster of restaurants around Whole Foods is not the Rockville Pike I remember from my teenage years working at the nearby defunct White Flint mall. But then again, we did not call Rockville Pike "North Bethesda" then! There is outdoor seating which I would like to try on a return visit. Next time, I will be trying a rum flight.

It's dusk outside, the lights of the plaza begin to twinkle, exotic aromas float from the surrounding tables, glasses clink and the sound of folks having a good time fills the air. This could Madrid or Barcelona, rather than the lovely pedestrian plaza in Rockville, MD. Our table of four feasted on a wonderful assortment of tapas. The waiter had suggested we choose 2-3 small plates per person. Lamb Meatball, Angus Steak, Octopus, Chicken Croquettes, Grilled Chorizo, Fried Eggplant, Scallops, Asparagus and Casero Bread filled the table. Each dish was a different taste sensation and thoroughly satisfying. Two plates for each of us to share amongst our table was more than enough to fill us. The dessert sampler is a must! Dining outside was reminiscent of an evening on the Plaza Mayor in Madrid.

You cannot go wrong with the gruyere chicken sandwich. Or with their sauce. There is a reason people always mention it. Amazing, both on chicken and rice. However, it is crazy busy during prime lunch hours. Go later if you can.

Family outing. Some of us had been here before. For us, our first visit. And my spouse isnât wild about Tex-Mex. But what a pleasant surprise. An extensive menu with dinners running between $15. and $25. The scallops, shrimp and lobster dinners are recommended. Two of our party ( including my spouse ) had the steak carne and both enjoyed it. I ordered the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans, onions, sour cream and guacamole. Lots of chicken stuffed into a wrap. It was excellent and so big I couldnât finish it. Others in our party had other dinners. Each was brought out hot from the oven and each was presented attractively. In all dinner for six ran about $165 for a group of six. And we would certainly return.

Had a very nice dinner at Botanero. I donât usually like tapas because you order lots of dishes & never seem to have enough to eat. This was different, the portions were more generous. Especially liked the chicken drumsticks, sizzling shrimp and short ribs. Creme brûlée was very good. Also felt it was reasonably priced.

A lot of the restaurants in downtown Rockville have had trouble making it. There's a constant parade of musical chairs. But La Canela is one of the old standbys that have stayed in place for decades. And no wonder. First, it's quiet enough so that a group of five seated at a 5' circular table could easily hear each other. Second, the waiters are delightful and service-oriented. The drinks and food menus are full of unusual and delicious options (a half page of ceviche options!). And the food itself was divine. We got two trout specials that were simply fantastic: simple, not the least bit greasy, and yet wonderfully spiced. Another at our table got a beef with pasta dish that had just a hint of heat. And my stepdaughter LOVED her squash soup. A total winner.

Lunch time fare with friends was average. Quesadilla were ok, chicken smothered with onions had decent flavor but veggies were just boiled. Chicken fajitas were fine. Salsa was needed more flavor. Service was spotty. Limited options in the area.

Reviewed By Dale O
In the neighborhood where I was having vehicle service, La Brasa was warmly recommended by the service representative at the shop desk. This is an industrial area: to my knowledge, this is one of two eating places available to the general public.The establishment was 2/3 full about 12:40pm. Quick service, orders, delivery: 3 waiters were present for about a dozen tables. I had 1/4 chicken with mixed vegetables and black beans, with soda, for less than $10, plus tip. Chicken was quickly served with two Peruvian sauces on the side, warm; with broccoli and carrots, warm; and black beans (very warm). The sides were served without seasoning - excellent texture. Prices at the low-end of "mid-range"Although I had lunch, a number of dinner entrees were also available. Settings were plain, cozy, and comfortable. Dine within, or take out. Both the restaurant and the available restroom were clean.
