This was my first visit. It is a chain restaurant and has basically the same menu as other Peruvian style restaurants. Their cooking ovens are not prominently displayed like other competitors display them. The interior design is welcoming and spacious.I started with a large steak salad ($11) which was âyugeâ, yet surprisingly very good. For my entrée I had a whole chicken ($12.50). At least the chicken did have some natural flavor but like most Peruvian places is overcooked and dry. They do offer a mayonnaise-based sauce and a hotter sauce. I am not a fan of mayonnaise on my chicken and would have liked other sauce options. Next time I might bring my own. Note that they do have many beverage options, including beer on tap.

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.

Enjoy lunch, dinner and happy hour. Book your business, family or special event and enjoy the charm of The Row at Rockville Town Square while dining at La Tasca. Take the Red Line to Rockville Station.

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.

Happy Hour awesome except "no red wine" @ HH prices. The bartender Elvin was wonderful, he was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Dinner later with family was excellent......Ribs, chicken, salads, beef all were prepared with fresh ingredients and served hot. Thank you for a very special evening & helped us celebrate our granddaughter's graduation. We move to the beach 13 years ago but prior to that we always enjoyed Guapos and were frequent guests.
6. Taco Bar

It's part of a "Washingtonian" gas station complex - I think it's related to the Taco Bar that you have listed on Russell (also in Gaithersburg). It has eat-in & carryout.

Great place and very industrial in design. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Small menu but packed with interesting items. Everything is Ala carte. The Pork Belly rice bowl and tacos are incredible. I recommend this place for any meeting or gathering

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.

Small plates restaurant and bar located in the King Farm neighborhood of Rockville, Maryland.

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.

Our first restaurant, La Flor de La Canela, opened its doors in 1997. Having been one of the first Peruvian restaurants in the area, our loyal customers have continued to follow us to our new locations. The food we offered was a combination of authentic P

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.

The service wS great and the place was very clean. Easy parking
