I recently stopped back into La Gula Mexicana after not visiting for a while, and I'm happy to say…read moreit's just as good as I remembered. This used to be one of my regular go-to spots, especially when I was craving a fresh veggie burrito, and this visit reminded me exactly why I loved it. I ordered my usual veggie burrito with extra cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and a little corn, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. One thing I've always appreciated about this restaurant is the consistency. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and you can tell everything is prepared with care. The customer service was just as memorable as the food. The staff was kind, courteous, and welcoming, making me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. It's always nice when you return to a favorite restaurant after some time away and discover that the quality hasn't changed. This visit definitely reminded me why La Gula Mexicana became one of my favorite local spots, and I'll be adding it back into my regular rotation. Highlights: * Fresh, flavorful veggie burrito * High-quality, fresh ingredients * Delicious additions of cilantro, guacamole, white onions, and corn * Friendly and courteous staff * Consistently great food and service * One of my favorite local Mexican restaurants

I was literally told "get it yourself"…read more I've been dining here since they've opened and usually love it! However, when the young woman brought my food she just set it down without saying anything, like she's dropping off mail in a box or something... They usually ask if you want anything, sauces, cutlery, etc... So when she came back around I asked if I could have a fork and knife and she grimaced at me and said "you can get it yourself behind the counter"... I reminded her there is a tip selection on check out, and she said " yes I know, I'll get you your fork, but I'm just letting you know that when you check out, you can go back there and get it yourself "with even more attitude. At that point, I told her I didn't want it anymore, and she just walked away. Disrespect for no reason...

Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

This place is hoppin'! Whenever Yelp asks me if a place is hip, I never know what to say -- until…read morenow! This place is definitely hip! What a vibe! So cool, fun, nice décor, super-helpful and responsive staff, lots of people eating outside and inside, and quite a selection of foods and beverages with lots of room for personalization. We came here because they have lots of vegetarian things and are known to be accommodating of requests regarding dietary needs and preferences -- what a relief from the get-go, even before arriving! Parking was easy but since I wanted to go to the bookstore afterwards, I parked near that, around the corner, and had a little amble along the road, looking at various shops and restaurants along the way, plus the greenery of the park .... I got the Avocado Tacos and asked what I could get instead of rice -- one option was the El Greco salad, so I got that. I felt a bit weird about it, though, until it was explained to me by our waitress that this wasn't just a Mexican place but rather a Mexican-Greek fusion! Oh, wow! Mind got a bit blown by that -- cool! Well, with that info., my mind relaxed ... and I awaited my meal. This is a good thing, but if you're in a hurry you might want to get something ready-made or more quick such as soup or salad that needs little to no preparation. For me, I'd rather wait! (I mean, whenever possible, that is.) So ... it was delicious! I was hungry. It was filling. The avocado was all very fresh, no yucky pieces, ha ha! Plenty of flavour, texture, colours, visual and all kinds of other appeal for the tongue. My two corn tacos under each heap of goodness did fuse together -- presumably from the moisture of all that lay on top of them -- so I could not separate them as I usually do, but the truth is that it ended up being so much food, I didn't even finish my tortillas, anyway. The tempura tacos (Aha Baja) have warm and crispy pieces that are not too big -- and that reduces the potential of a too-greasy feel. In a word, good! Or just plain 'Mmm!' The Roasted Potatoes are absolutely delicious! The Black Beans are totally tasty! The amount of desserts is incredible -- and all are house-made, wow! I could not believe how long the list was! Oh, yeah, and the appetizer of chips and salsa was crispy and yummy. The guacamole is creamy and has a hint of spice that varies by bite .... The food was all great, and so was the rich Lemon and Ginger tea was incredibly good! It looked and felt rich and thick -- such a surprise! I enjoyed it immensely. I was also offered honey, sugar, and milk to go with it if I wanted, and found out that the owner is a tea aficionado and that's why their teas are so good! If you don't like noisy environments, you might want to avoid the busier times (such as weekends) or eat outside, weather permitting. This is such a one-of-a-kind-place -- not to be missed! Yay! :-D

Solid 4.5/5 This…read moreplace is located in a high-end residential community in Gaithersburg, not far from Rockville, MD. There are lots of street parking but not a dedicated one in front of the store. However, when I went for a happy hour, I had no trouble getting a spot. As you step in, you realize how tiny this place is but don't let that fool you, it's still an outstanding choice if you're in the area. As a vegetarian, I wasn't disappointed with their selections. They had quesadillas, yuca fries, bowls and salads, and tacos options for me. I went with the inspiration and avocado tacos, with the side of quesadillas and yuca fries. I thought that perhaps the side quantities might be small but once the food came, I realized I may have ordered a lot. The quesadillas and yuca fries were good, nothing special, but not bad at all. The winner for me were the two vegetarian tacos. Both had distinct but very mouth watering flavors in them. I was bummed out that none of them were that spicy, but the unique flavor profile on both more than overcame the lack of spiciness. I enjoyed my meal because I was well taken care by the serving staff. They were attentive, welcoming, and friendly. I didn't feel that they didn't have time for us as that can happen in the happy hour rush usually. Both my friend and I concluded that this is a place to come back to in the near future. One suggestion would be to also have a vegetarian option in the "Legacy Corner" or sandwich section but otherwise I enjoyed the variety. Lastly, I was slightly disappointed with the Daddy Guac and the chips we got with them. The guac size could have been bigger but more importantly is that the chips were too thin that they kept breaking apart trying to scoop up the guac. Overall, I would come back again. Next time, I'll try to have a drink or so to see if they have knocked it out on that side as well.
