9. Los Chorros Restaurant

I went to lunch with my daughter - on a recommendation that the pupusas were especially fine. We were not disappointed. They come with several fillings, beans and cream - also ordered a cream chicken dish that was nothing special. The serving sizes were generous, service attentive, setting quite nice and larger than it looks from the outside. I plan to go here again.
8. Paladar Rockville

Reviewed By BmoreStyle
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.

7. Cubanos

Early on a weekday evening, the four of us found Cubanos practically deserted, which made conversation a breeze. The dining room is painted in warm, tropical colors with Cuban-themed paintings all about. The staff are exceptionally friendly. And the food, especially the pork dishes and ceviche, are excellent. We had a great time.

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.

Real Tapas place with innovative small plates (tapas). Meat/fish, vegetables, and starch are all available. They are good tasting and well prepared. They even have Tempernillo as a house wine-by-the-glass.I was really happy until someone started smoking a very strong and penetrating cigar somewhere in the back of the house. Offensive and illegal, and I couldn't exit quickly enough.

Order a few small plates to share, and enjoy. We ordered fewer plates than was recommended, but it was plenty for us. And the 'house wine' (bottled for Jaleo) was excellent. I will return as soon as I can.
3. MI Rancho

Reviewed By Scott T
I'm pretty picky about tex-mex food, keep that in mind. Ordered the plate with cheese enchiladas, tamale and taco. Was good, not great. I prefer Mexican cheese over cheddar, honestly, they put too much cheese in the enchiladas. Tamale was small and almost no filling, taco was a plain old taco. Was pricey fro what you get, $20+ with a soda. Chips were fresh, salsa very mild. Had to ask for tortillas, which were good.

At La Malinche, our tapas menu highlights authentic Spanish and Mexican dishes while also exploring more contemporary tapas, showcasing the very best of this unique and exciting style of eating. Come visit us in the very heart of downtown Silver Spring.
Reviewed By Ron G
We came here strictly by chance. They have a great lunch special--$20/person--for all the tapas you want! Including delicious flan and churros. We split 7--bacon covered dates, tomato bread with serrano ham and manchengo cheese, meat empanadas, fried calamari, carne assada, asperagus and spicy meatballs. All very good. Highly recommend. Garage parking nearby.

We visited Bethesda and found Gringos & Mariachis to be very authentic Mexican food. The Staff was also quite friendly & quick. We will return again. Besides the food, they have quite a list of creative & unique drinks. We asked for some adjustments to some drinks, like replacing tequila for mezcal, and they gladly accommodated our requests. Net, very worthy experience.
