Great and authentic Mexican food (finally) in this entire area. Lots of places that claim are Mexican food but only actually Central and South American and the tastes and salsas are very different. Good menu. Excellent ceviche and queso fundido. They did it right. Great selection of tequila and they nailed it with the cantaritos.

The food was amazing, the hospitality, the drinks, the ambiance. A 10/10 and i will be on the lookout of more restaurants owned by the same people. It’s SO good!

Muy sabraso! We always stop by when we are in Bethesda. (Wish we traveled here more often.) Outstanding in all respects. Ask for Osmin - he will take good care of you. Disfruta de tu comida!

• Tapas / Small Plates • Silver Spring

This is a lovely little tapas restaurant in downtown Silver Spring. The staff is pleasant, service quick, and the small plates/dinner fare were just delicious (and very reasonably priced). We'd been before, but not for a few years, and we had forgotten how good it was. We'll be going again. Highly recommended.
