When is the last time you went-Yelp page says it's temporarily closed. Is that true? Menu looks amazing.


Went about 5 weeks ago. Yelp is spotty. Check their Facebook page. Or just call them.

Every week there is a thread ranting how Mexican food and pizza suck in the DC area.


Seriously! They are regional specialties. Special to that region. It’s not supposed to be as good elsewhere. That’s what makes them special.

I definitely agree with Mexican but Thai?

You are mostly wrong about this. But it definitely depends what restaurants in CA you go to.

Native Texan here, I like Mi Rancho in Silver Spring as well as Uncle Julio's for TexMex. Can't comment on California Mex as that's just a totally different sub-genre.

Another California transplant - thirding this.


I'm not even from CA (from this area) and from having visited CA and the southwest can tell you there is no good Mexican food in this area.
