I used to enjoy this restaurant for its quality and generous portions. After years, I ordered takeout and was very disappointed. The food lacked flavor, portions were extremely small for the price ($30+per meal), and several items were poorly prepared. The salmon was tasteless, shrimp portions were minimal, and the chicken tacos were steamed instead of grilled with very small portions. Overall, the value did not match the cost. I would not recommend this restaurant given the price and experience.

I stopped by Lauriol Plaza for the first time the other day, and what a beautiful restaurant it is. The service was fantastic, I asked the waiter for recommendations and they shared them eagerly. I ordered a chicken burrito which included complimentary chips and salsa. It was more than enough food for me! I should note that my rice was a bit overdone.

Excellent food, great prices, beautiful location, and friendly staff that went above and beyond in helping me find my girlfriend’s mom’s lost gold earrings! I love this place and these people. 10/10

I’ve visited this place multiple times, and I can’t recommend it enough for hosting a party! With ample space on the second floor that comfortably accommodates 15 guests, it’s perfect for gatherings. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. If you’re looking for a fantastic venue for a celebration, this is the spot! Highly recommended for an unforgettable foodie experience!

Attended on Valentine’s Day. Experience was subpar. It all started as soon as we walked in. We were met by a host who just looked extremely annoyed he was working. We were sat down. We ordered appetizers and our food but they brought our appetizers at the same time as the food. We had a small table so it was very uncomfortable. Our waiter was annoyed when I requested certain food modifications. Not once did he come to check in on us and the food or to see if we needed anything additional. I ordered 2 cokes in addition to our cocktails. It took our waiter a good 20 minutes to bring out our cokes. I know Valentine’s Day is a busy day but it is the restaurants job to ensure enough people are scheduled to keep up with the level of demand this day creates. Also our waiter gave us our check without asking if we even wanted dessert. I’ll definitely have to reconsider visiting this restaurant due to the terrible service. We were not the only ones, table next to us couldn’t wait to get out because of how bad the service was.

We ate lunch here with friends that we had not seen in a long time. We ate on the outdoor patio and were seated immediately. The staff was courteous and very attentive. We sat and visited for a long time and were never rushed to leave. The food was fresh and delicious. The inside of the restaurant is huge with multi floors and a lot of seating options. I’m sure that I will be coming back to Lauriol Plaza on my next visit to DC.

The dining space itself is impressive and enjoyable, buzzing with energy. We tried the shrimp special, which was outstanding. The guac and warm salsa with chips was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t have one, but I heard from my guests the margs are outstanding. I’d definitely come back.

A friend I hadn’t spent time with invited me here for dinner because she loves the restaurant. After eating and drinking, I certainly know why now.
We were greeted warmly upon our arrival and seated by the window. Our waiter was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. My friend chose her favorite, the Seafood Enchiladas, and I chose the Combo Fajitas. When they brought the food out, I was first overwhelmed by the portions’ size. Then, after taking the first bite, my senses went into overdrive with an explosion of different tastes and seasonings. As I dug into the bottom of one area, I saw fried plantains and potatoes in addition to all the vegetables and meats. Who does that? I’m sorry, guys, there was no way I could eat this in one sitting. So, I probably ate at least one-fourth of a portion and had to box the rest up and take it home. In my defense, I didn’t realize how many chips and salsas I ate before the food came out because they were so damn good. Beware of them; in a good way…
Before the waiter came with the boxes to inquire (like a great waiter does) whether we wanted to order dessert, we both had to give the side-eye and say, “No, unless they had a wheelbarrel to roll us out of this restaurant.”
Please check them out for yourself.

Service was great. We sat outside on the large patio. Beautiful 2 story restaurant inside too. Ordered the chicken enchiladas and the shrimp tacos. Added a side of guacamole. All everything was delicious. Prices are very reasonable.

This place still has it!!! Hadn’t been in 20 years and everything was still excellent. Great service, food, and drinks. I met up with friends. We started with chips, salsa, and guacamole. Their chips are very light and good. The salsa was excellent. This was all accompanied by a pitcher of their Cadillac Margarita. It was good!! I had Branzini for dinner. The fish was huge and delicious!! They have parking but the lot fills up quickly so plan ahead in the event you have to park in the neighborhood.
