One that is roasted in a corn husk, filled with large chunks of chicken and potatoes, served in a moist corn masa wrapper. La Baguette Antojitos tamales has it all! I loved my tamale and every part of it was made with love from an Abuela. I also ordered 3 kinds of pupusas. One was pork and cheese, another was chicken and cheese, and the last was beans and cheese. They were full of flavor. I loved the fresh tasty slaw that goes on top of the pupusas and the sauce that was so good, I kept going back for more. It took a while to get waited on, I was in front for a few minutes before anyone came out from the back. But, the young lady who waited on me was very nice and pleasant once she knew we were there. Prices were good. They have a lot of baked goods and I will be going back to try those too. They have cakes, pastries, cookies, and donuts. They looked really yummy. There is plenty of seating and a large screen tv in the restaurant area. It was a cute and clean place to enjoy your food. I will definitely be back for more tamales and pupusas. They have the best made tamales I have had in a long, long time. Enjoy! Muchas Gracias!

Their menu is extensive with a large vegan menu, savory crepes, and sweet crepes. They also have smoothies, frappes, and lattes. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is decorated in warm woods with a modern decor. Service was excellent. I was waited on right away and my crepe was freshly made in a few minutes. I was craving sweet crepes, so I went with the s'mores crepe. It is a delicious layered crepe with chocolate and marshmallows. It tasted delicious and it is a large portion size. I have some leftover for later. Prices were reasonable and I am so happy that Dulce Crepes has joined the Park Potomac shopping center. Welcome to the neighborhood!

We came for lunch on Sunday and the restaurant was busy. We were seated right away. Service was excellent! A funny story, when we sat down, the waiter spoke to me in full Portuguese. I guess he took one look at my face and understood that I didn't understand a word, so he switched to English. We ordered a Cobb salad, a beef tucamana frita empanada, yucca, and flan de la leches. My friend really enjoyed the Cobb salad. She finished hers and it was a generous portion. The grilled chicken was seasoned well. The lettuce and veggies were fresh. I think their yucca was the best I have tasted in a long time. It was hot, crisp, and lightly fried. Next time, I will get the larger portion. The empanada was good. I loved the outside pastry. But, the filling was different than a Peruvian tucamana. So, it wasn't as sweet and the meat was a little tougher, than I would have liked. The crown jewel of our meal was the flan dulce les leches. It was fabulous. The caramel drizzle. The light and airy flan and the creamy deliciousness. It was excellent! So, service was great, they are very nice. The meal had some hits and misses. I would definitely like to return and try some of the Argentinian grilled beef and veggies. They also have an attached shop, where you can buy Foods and snacks from Argentina. Welcome to the neighborhood, El Patio.

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. Was handed a dinner menu and asked about lunch menu. They said…read morethis location has been here for only a month and they have no lunch menu at this time. (A lunch menu is advertised on the El Patio restaurant website. I guess I didn't catch that it didn't apply at all locations.) We ordered 6 empanada to start. They offer 6-8 types, but were out of the first three we asked for. We opted for the Spinach, Shrimp and Spinach, and Ham and Cheese. They were all good, although o thought the ham and cheese was very salty. For entree, I got the seared branzino ($29.95) with 2 sides (grilled vegetable skewers and a side salad) and my partner got the Pollo Salteado with mashed potatoes. Branzino - it was very thin and, although it was seared, the entire outside skin was hard and chewy. The inside meat was soft and had flavor, but overall I was disappointed. I've had better branzino that had more meat and wasn't hard. There was very little meat in the very thin piece of fish. On the other hand, the vegetable skewers were delicious. Very well prepared and a nice portion of veggies. The salad was - salad. The Pollo Salteado was terribly salty, almost uncomfortably so. The potatoes and peppers in the stir-fry were tasty, but the dish was uncomfortably salty. We ate a bit at the restaurant, took the rest home, ate a little bit and threw out the rest. Really disappointing. The 7-layer cake was a big hit. Very rich and good ($7.50). The service was "OK". Our water glasses were empty a couple of times and we had to call the server over to fill them. They did help us make a fuss with the birthday celebrations including the singing - that was nice. I'd give 2.5 stars, but the empanadas were good and so was the cake and the veggies. So, I'll give a 3.

Very nice ambience, decorated in European style. Service was top-notch, very nice waiter and hostess. They made sure to hold our table for us. They gave us a complimentary ceviche wonton which was delicious. I thought the pan-fried cod entree was delicious, especially the sauce. The fried part was a bit heavy though so I wish there was a side of vegetables rather than the crispy potato. The yuca and calamari with the aji amarillo was an excellent appetizer - I'd recommend. Also be sure to try the purple corn drink (chicha morado?) - it didn't taste like corn at all and was delicious and unique! Lime and apple taste to it.

Service was top notch, very attentive and friendly. The server encouraged us to try a highly popular Peruvian juice drink called chicha morada. It was quite unique & refreshing. I would consider this place fine dining for the quality, decor & service. The only complain was the high price tag, with tips and taxes, you are looking at $50 per person without desserts & alcoholic drinks. It's a bit pricey for lunch but if money is no object for you, I would definitely recommend this place.

El Patio, located in Rockville is a family owned restaurant that serves traditional home-style meals from Argentina in a casual dining atmosphere. With their authentic Argentinian recopies, it gives diners a piece of Argentina in Rockville. One of the selling points for this restaurant is that it is a combination style restaurant( bakery, restaurant and packaged goods from Argentina. They have a wonderful selection of Argentinian wines. On Wednesday they have offer specials on bottles of wine for dining in and purchase. The food was absolutely delicious, we tried a variety of things. We started with the baked empanadas( chicken and beef). They were filling actually, nice and full of meat and flavorful. We also tried the Argentinean sausage sandwich. The sandwich came on this nice toasted bread. For dinner I had the Tira de Asado a la Parrilla( grilled beef short ribs). All the platters come with two sides. I got a salad and their french fries. OMG they have they best fries. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I didnt even use ketchup, that is how tasty they were. The salad was just a regular garden salad but the ingredients were so fresh, I didnt need any dressing. Their desserts are really good to, we got flan and the rogel. Overall everything was really good and I would definitely return. So if your over in the Rockville area, stop in, the food and service was really good SYOY

During my first visit, my friend and I finished a 9.5 mi hike at Annapolis Rock and built up an appetite. We ordered one of the most popular meat dishes on the menu. I especially loved the blood sausage and could have ordered an entire plate of the blood sausage alone!!! The parillada came with two sides, so I opted for vegetables and rice/bread to balance out the meal. I've now visited twice thus far and the ordered same thing on the menu because I loved it so much. This is the kind of place that is family-friendly, has great portions, and can enjoy your food in a relaxed environment. On the plus side, I enjoyed the opportunity to practice my Spanish with the servers. +Parrillada Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires BBQ for Two) Grilled Short Beef Ribs, NY Strip, Skirt Steak, Argentinean Sausage, Blood Sausage, Sweetbread, and Chinchulines +Vegetales a la Parilla (Argentine-Style Grilled Vegetable Kabobs) Broccoli, Mushroom, Tomato, and Carrots

The paella is a huge portion that honestly could feed 2 people. Service is also quick and the staff check on their diners for beverage refills and experience. I also ordered their passion fruit mojito for any alcohol drinkers. You can barely taste the alcohol in it. I wouldn't say it is a formal restaurant at all but could potentially you could come in slightly more formal for a date night. It is definitely family friendly and there's plenty of seating.

Overall, it was ok...food can be overpriced and FYI they do not take American Express for payment.
