To be honest, I am not a big fan of Latino cuisine, but it doesn't mean their food isn't good, I just didn't have much chance to explore them formally yet. I have tried some Mexican & Pan-Latin food many times before, but never from real restaurant. This is first time for me, and I'm already hooked now. This place is very close to my home but I just had paid attention on their menu and it looks so variety, yummy and interesting. I choose Carne Asada, that the famous one I heard among their food. It was really tasty with marinated and grilled perfectly, (medium), so that make me quite sure others their dishes will be great too. I ordered take out, so I can't say much about the service, anyway everything went smoothly, food was ready for picking up when I arrived and the staff knew their job right away. Moreover, I could see inside the restaurant, it is so charming and lively decoration. (As bar style) It is spacious dining room and some patio seats are available outside. Very convenient to stop by, and huge free parking lots at Layhill Shopping Center. read more

Ada was very impatient and kept asking about my tab, which made me uncomfortable. She even added someone else's items to my check. Thankfully, the bartender fixed it right away. Big thanks to Daniela for helping me choose a great dish with the carne asada her customer service made me feel comfortable again I would of gave it 5 stars but Ada made the experience not very well read more

Representing dreaded 2020 for the letter A is Azucar. This was a bright spot in a lousy year. I went a couple of times during Covid took the food all the way home and hoped it wouldn't get cold getting back to Wheaton, but I could always microwave to heat up. Staff was nice and had an efficient setup for all the to go orders. I got the carne asada steak, which was very good. I never had the opportunity to actually eat in the restaurant, but it looked like a nice place with nice big bar area and plenty of space for dine-in. I moved away from Wheaton in November 2020, and Layhill area is a lot further from me now, but it'd be a good consideration if I was over here. read more

Horrible! I ordered a seafood soup for $17 and they literally gave me one shrimp, 2 small chunks of fish l, 2 small pieces of squid and one mussel in a flavorless broth. The audacity! I'm pissed! I requested a refund. If they didn't have the full ingredients for the dish, they should've said so. Don't charge me for some bs. The quality of this place has been steadily decreasing.

Highly recommended gem in the Glenmont/Silver Spring area. I have been going here for over a year and the service has always been excellent. The staff are very attentive. The menu is excellent...I've tried nearly every plate on the menu and the food is great. It's a friendly environment both for families and parties or to hang out. I do want to give a shout out to the bartenders Carlos and Keiry who do a great job of engaging with the guest and are great mixologist. Also...another shout out to the rest of the staff as they are all very nice. Special thanks to Kimberly, Andrea read more

I came to Azucar with a group of 3. I ordered the lobster special. My company ordered enchiladas and churrasco. Average price for any dish seems to be 20 or over. My dish was $44. I My lobster was tasty, but did not wow me. My sides were vegetables and rice. The sides were very bland. The rice was sticky and flavorless. The churrasco was bad. They didn't give us chimichurri sauce that's a big no no. The enchiladas were tasty and the sauce on top of the enchiladas was delicious. Service is great. We were seated fast on a busy night. Our waiter and manager kept checking on us constantly. The staff was friendly overall. Ambience is great. Saturday night They have live music. Other nights are fairly quiet. Finally, I probably come back to Azucar, but this restaurant is not on top of my restaurant list. read more

On my latest visit during COVID, I ordered ahead as usual. I waited 45 minutes before I drove over to get my food. It ended taking them 1h15m to 1H20m to prepare my order. When my order came out, it was missing several items. This is the 3rd time this has happened since January. My experience in dine-in service is better. For take-out service, you may want to consider longer than usual wait times but definitely check your order before leaving so you don't have to make two trips as I have in the past. On a good note, the food is very flavorful and colorful. Bon Apetit. read more

Three stars because of the food but would have given them 1 star for the terrible service. This is a local place and I love specific items on their menu. We sat at a table in the bar because the place was packed. First set of drinks were quick but quickly went downhill from there. 20 min later we finally ordered another drink and asked if they could take our dinner order. We ordered the combination fajitas and the seafood chimichanga. About 15min later we received our food but the fajitas only had shrimp. So had to ask for the steak to be added. Their food is really good it's just sad their service was so bad that night. read more

This was my go to restaurant because it is a nice clean place, has great service, and food has always been delicious, that was until last night. We were celebrating a new home for a friend, we were ignored for 15 minutes, then a server that said he was assigned to us, was less than attentive the entire dinner, our food took a long time and when it arrived, it was Lukewarm. The server was disrespectful to my husband who complained twice to the hostess and manager. We asked for the bill and he walked right past us, therefore, we went up to the manager to pay. The manager was apologetic again and said we did not need to pay. We were willing to pay but wanted to withhold a tip. The manager said he would take the bill.

Probably one of the lower rated restaurants that I have ever been to. I don't get why when I enter with my husband either the old lady or the other female waiters always speaks in Spanish to us.. it makes no sense to me. I barely speak it and just because my husband does doesn't mean you need to assume. Like treat every customer equally. You wouldn't be speaking in Spanish to a white person if they came in. They only make eye contact with him and never with me.. it's the weirdest thing in the world. Even when I reply in English it's like they are mad about it. I don't know why they have waiters that barely speak English let alone don't know the drinks. I was there and asked for a Bombay Sapphire with sprite and the waitress didn't even know what a Bombay Sapphire was and told me they didn't have it and then had the Josh (who is in fact the best waiter/bartender/ I think manager there) come to the table and he asked me what I wanted. I told him and he was like yeah we have it. He wasn't sure why she was confused. Get this, then she came back to the table and was like oh you pronounced it wrong. I did not, I have been drinking this for 12 years. She told me it's pronounced MUBUMBUY and I was like it's pronounced BOMB-BAY not MUBUMBUY. She literally had the nerve to tell me that when she didn't know what it was? Nice coverup but no. I'm part Indian, I think i would know how to pronounce BOMB-BAY. It's Bombay. Its not hard. It's ok to learn but don't play off like it was my problem. Then she went to the other table and the guy order a jack and coke and she didn't know what Jack Daniels was... she had to go ask Josh again. Like all she did was try to speak Spanish with my husband and ignore me because she didn't speak good English. Like literally Josh shouldn't do her job because she's useless... I would also like to say this place used to be great. But they got cocky and now the food quality went down, the service went down, I mean I wish this place was like it used to be. read more

I visited this place several weeks ago with a friend who said their nachos and drinks were great. I was certainly not impressed with their service. The food was mediocre, the hospitality was lackluster and the waitress was not attentive. Our food arrived over and hour late, our appetizers were also late. The chips and cheese....... the CHEESE! Was horrible. My head was throbbing because the cheese was high in sodium. I ordered the steak and it was sitting in a pool of oil. I was so nauseous the next day.

We arrived around 6pm for dinner & drinks and there was only one other patron when we arrived, but since the place is open til 2 am I suspect it starts hopping later on. There were a few tables of guests by the time we left. They have a bunch of pool tables so will need to come to play pool sometime. Last night we just ate and drank. We started with a couple of strawberry margaritas, they were quite nice. Good level of sweet for me (I like em sweet!) and I was a little tipsy but not drunk after one. We ordered the garnachas and the arroz con mariscos to share for our meal. Everything was good but my favorite was the garnachas; stewed beef on a thick corn tortilla with a sprinkling of queso blanco, salsa and some cabbage garnish to put on top. Very flavorful, not at all spicy, and a nice alternative to nachos. The beef was similar to what you'd get in a birria taco but without the consomme on the side. The arroz con mariscos was also very good and was a huge portion; despite us sharing it we had over half of it left so will be enjoying it again tonight. The rice itself has good flavor and the seafood was cooked properly, not overcooked. There were some mussels, a lot of shrimp, some squid I think, honestly I can't remember exactly... I blame the margarita. I would have liked to have a drink menu as I think there was a little bit of language barrier with our server. We kind of understood each other, but not fully and I don't think she understood when I asked if there was a cocktail menu which is why I just asked directly about margaritas, to which I was informed there were lemon and strawberry. They do have a full bar and can probably make a huge variety of drinks, if you speak Spanish you might have more luck. There were a lot of other items on the menu that sounded good, so we'll likely be back. Honestly my only quibble is there was an automatic 15% service charge, it wasn't clear if that is a gratuity or one of those new extra service fees that some restaurants add. I didn't see any mention on the menu (which I didn't have in hand by the time the bill came to confirm one way or the other) and honestly I didn't have a lot of confidence in being able to ask the server whether that charge is for gratuity or not with our language incompatibility, so we added extra gratuity just to make sure since we normally tip 20% anyway. I don't want to stiff the staff, but I would also like to be informed up front if there is a service charge or automatic gratuity. I'm dinging a star just for that bit of ambiguity.

This is another lace like its near the intersections of University BLVD an Connecticut Avenue…read more Its in a small shopping area across the street from a gas station and net door to Donut King and other stores . This is Called Stella's point Grille. This is a truly one of a kind place in Kensington, Maryland . This place is a bar restaurant. It has a parking area that needs repaving badly. As you enter there's two entry points front and back door . When you enter you see a dining area with some acade games . It has a bar in back of the store on the right. But near the front door ut has a gas fireplace to keep the place warm. Near the barista area where theybserve all sorts of drinks the have a concealed kitchen area where they perform their magic to make your best foods you could ever want or You cant find anywhere else . They have a great menu there . They have an ATM machine too . This place every Monday and thursday nighrs gave Karaoke nights . I wish they could have it on weekends too . I love having pizzas there , The mean tater tots burgers and more . I think they should have discounts t those who are long term patrons to keep them coming back for more . I think they could have a more selective desert menu for kids and adults . Plus they have 12 to 14 HGTVS . I tried applying fir this place to try my luck but no response as of yet . I wanted the job there because want to build bridges between all woirld of every walk of life that comes there . I love customer interactions as a host and Food Runner . I am flexible on all hours . I want jobs there without Fear , Judgment, Or Bad Politics used against me and others without seeing what people like me can do to be great assets to the team there . I'm writing this review to help boost business again there because of what happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful inexcusable unprofessional Reprehensible, Disrespectful, Irresponsible And down right wrong. The behaviors of the past should never be tolerated in any place of business ever again. The old rule books don't work anymore due to the Behavors during the Covid Pandemic. Things have to change for the better . To all American Communities, Please help bring business back as it should and must be again. We need to come back as a community again in this pla e to show appreciation to the restaurant and the staff there abd those who want future jobs there . Once I get photos from the place there on hdre I hope in a few days tgat this review will be better than ever with better detail . I hadn't been there in a while and obe day hooe to go back soon. If you love this place as I do , This place is for you. We all look forward to seeing you all there very soon once again.

I attended a Celebration of Life at the Wheaton Moose Hall Lodge. The room we sat in was huge…read more There was a separate full bar area and separate room off to the left. There was a huge stuffed moose hanging on the wall, so you can certainly see why this room got its name. They had television system playing with videos of the loved one. There was a whole wall devoted to food. It is a bit dated, so I took off one star. But, if you are looking for a gigantic room with all of the electronics and clean bathrooms, then, Moose Lodge is the place for you.

Great prices, people and space highly recommended for all people and ages. Great place to watch…read moresports or host an event!
