1 Star is too much -- Very disappointing experience…read more We were really excited to try this restaurant because we were hoping for an authentic Argentinian dining experience. Unfortunately, it was nothing like what we expected, and the food was extremely disappointing. Then I found out the owner is Bolivian not even Argentinian. The chimichurri was red and had a very different taste than what we expected. The green hot sauce was basically like eating raw jalapeño--extremely overpowering. The mashed potatoes were watery and very salty, and the broccoli was literally sitting in so much water that almost half of the bowl was full of it. The rice tasted like microwave rice, and the French fries were just ordinary fries. The biggest disappointment was the meat. It was extremely fatty, chewy, and had almost no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. For an Argentinian restaurant, the quality and preparation of the meat should be one of the highlights, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. Honestly, we could barely eat our food and ended up leaving most of it. What made the experience even worse was that, despite barely being able to eat the food, we were still charged half of the meal. The total bill was over $85, and that included $5 for a small cup of what tasted like microwave rice. Just in case the food looks half-empty in the pictures, we did put some of the food onto our plates to try it. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat it, so that's why some of the containers look partially empty. As someone who was genuinely looking forward to trying Argentinian food, this experience was incredibly disappointing. In my opinion, this restaurant does not represent the quality or flavors that people expect from Argentinian cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would not return.

My Argentinian friend has been speaking highly of this place and wanted to bring me here to try the…read morefood. I am so glad he did. The food was really delicious. 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

However, the quality and portion of the food makes up for it. It was so delicious. We ordered 2 milanesas napolitanas, 1 chicken & 1 steak, & empanadas. The service was amazing. I've also had the facturas from here and they are the best I have ever tried!! Will definitely recommend to people and go back for more food.

I went to Atxondo hoping to taste the work of a Basque chef, and found out that the new chef is…read morefrom El Salvador, but has studied cookery in Spain. After having a full meal with cocktails, appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee (about $70 per person), I concluded that Atxondo will be a definite future destination for Happy Hour and light bites, but that my full meal dining dollars will be spent elsewhere. The Patatas Bravas (Fingerling Potatoes) were outstanding, with their two tasty sauces and rich, crispy flavor and texture. The Hibiscus Margarita with its salt and tajín rim was good enough to warrant a second one... but the Sangria was lackluster due to the complete absence of cut-up fresh fruit in my glass. The "Crispy Duck Breast" is no longer served whole, but sliced on a bed of sauteed kale... and, sadly, seemed to be only a shadow of its former self. The Lamb Meatballs suffered from being mushy (a coarser grind would have made a world of difference in the texture) and lacked that meaty exuberance one treasures in any kind of meatball. My serving of Basque Cheesecake was almost comically tiny (at $9 per serving, perhaps not so funny after all). But my cup of Americano came out of the espresso machine strapping strong and piping hot, with a gorgeous head of natural crema from the oil of the coffee beans. So I will definitely return for a future Happy Hour to devour the outstanding Patatas Bravas and sip the good Margaritas, and to try the bargain Manchego Burger and other Happy Hour bites. For serious dining, Atxondo falls short of the mark... but for drinks and bar food, Atxondo turns out to be a real neighborhood gem. .

Atxondo really strikes me as an underrated gem. It's only about a mile walk from the Petworth Metro, is right on several bus lines and for us, coming from silver spring, the drive was a very easy ~15 minutes. Intrigued to hear how often people in the neighborhood come here. It's mostly a tapas style, so everything but the paella is smaller plates. Everything is wonderfully tasty. The mini chorizo, with the accompanying chips absorbing the chorizo liquid were awesome and our group also loved the cremini mushrooms. I love a good paella and Atxondo's is a standout. really wonderfull flavored and plenty for our group of 5. They say it's enough for 2-4, but unless its your only meal of the day, I fully think a group of 2 would have leftovers. It's definitely on our list to return

Again I must preface by saying I didn't dine here or experience the place. I was invited to a dinner here that I couldn't attend, and as a birthday surprise I wanted to send that table a bottle of champagne. I intended to order a Dom Perignon (for which they charge ~$400 per bottle). But the staff was on amateur hour -- instead of taking my order, they altered the reservation, then alerted the birthday person who made the reservation (ruining any potential for a nice surprise gift), and said they would have to cancel the original reservation because the number of people changed. Birthday person had to call them and me to smooth it all over. Then, another person called me to get my email address to send me a PDF to fill out (which I had to then send them on WhatsApp) for my order - a comically silly added bureaucratic/administrative load. Just take the credit card over the phone on the first call/request, like 99% of businesses around the world. This place takes 3-4 steps just to order something... This person had absolutely zero idea that I made the request as a surprise, so it suggests there is pretty poor coordination and communication amongst staff. I'm sure people come here regularly and have great meals and great times. But at their prices, wine/champagne mark-ups, and promise of an 'elevated' experience -- staff need to get their act together.

They also refilled our waters constantly! In terms of food: - we did partake in drinks: I had the passion over perfection and my gf had the pina colada. I will say her pina colada tasted more like pineapple juice than anything else. I enjoyed my drink though. - we were recommended by our waiter to get around 4-6 dishes depending on how hungry we were. We opted for 7R ceviche, cheese arepitas, Latin falafel, and seafood jalea. I will say everything tasted so freaking good (with the exception of the falafel because they were on the drier side) but those portion sizes i would expect a little more for pricing - I will also add a side note they were providing sampling of a pumpkin soup. Did j like it? No. Did i appreciate it the ability to say i tasted it and didn't have to pay for it? Yes - we also were greedy and went in for desserts: banana bomb and chocolate and Ron. The banana bomb SOOOOO good! The chocolate and ron was more on the forgettable side. Despite the portions, the food was so good I'd come back in a heartbeat. I would love to see the seasonal things they come up with!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more I had tickets for The National and did an online search of nearby spots to have happy hour before the show. On Fogo de Chão's website, I was pleased to find a promotion stating that its happy hour was "all day, every day" and "in the dining room and bar." I was even more pleased to see a big "RESERVE NOW" button as part of the promotion. I made my reservation for 6 p.m., provided all my contact information, and included a note in the "Special Request" section specifically requesting two seats at the bar. The reservation was submitted and confirmation received at 3 p.m. Unfortunately, I was far from pleased when I arrived and the hostess said, "I see you have a reservation and your note, but the bar is first come, first served." I expressed my disappointment but stated that I would be fine seated in the dining room. She then hits me with, "Happy hour is only available in the dining room if you are having dinner." I then expain that the information on the website made no mention of either of those restrictions and that at no point in the reservation process was there any information that would indicate that reservations are for non-happy hour guests. A manager then stepped in and shared that I must have read the happy hour information incorrectlg and that the online service clearly states that reservations are for the dining room only. He then proceeded to explain that he would make an exception and allow me and my guest to have happy hour while seated in the dining room (which, by the way, was nearly empty). I was pretty annoyed about being made to feel like I was in the wrong and at no point getting an apology, but at least I finally had a seat and could order food and drinks. BUT that brief feeling of satisfaction didn't last because when the bill came, they charged us full price for our cocktails. To make matters worse, I wasn't able to have the bill corrected because I didn't have the time to spare before the show. I have included photos of the website's happy hour promotion and the reservation booking form.
