Cool little Mexican restaurant and bar. Surprising number of options for vegetarians too. We got the El Paisano (top right), bean and cheese pupusas(top left), and a few sides – tortillas / rice/ beans / pico. It was very good! Very quiet on a Wednesday evening. Definitely recommend.

Looking for food on the way back from walking the national mall fairly late at night we found this place. I could hear the record scratch as we walked in, but we were warmly welcomed and found a table promptly. The waitress was friendly and gave very good service. The food was top notch and authentic. It hit the spot after a long day. The neighborhood was a little sketchy late at night so keep that in mind.

Service was a little bit questionable when I came in. That could be due to fact that I don’t speak Spanish but the food was exceptional.

We learned about this establishment about eight months ago by word of mouth from our family Uber. He has told me that La molienda hardly rechecks any customers to return. I’d like to say that this food is a little bit above satisfactory.
I ordered the steak poblano, comepoɓlkm3 with arroz amarillo con concombre y tomate de cada pieza and green sauce. To me, I could rank this flank skirt a whole letter grade higher than a T-Bone at CIdP with about the same lower cost. Noting that the steak was juicy and stll warm after about an hour’s wait til I got home, gives credit to the salesperson who boxed our order. The rice looked like it came from a individual serving size salsa bowl turned upside-down in the container. We also got the black beans in a small plastic pack with lid.
I am excited to talk about la Molienda Restaurant, and would strongly recommend it for a small happy hour to-go.

The waitstaff is very nice. The atmosphere was awkwardly quiet. No music. Vagrants coming in off the street. Pupusas were good. I don’t recommend the seafood soup. Seafood isn’t fresh and it all tasted very fishy, in a bad way. The fajitas don’t have much flavor and only come with 3 small tortillas. Maybe if you know what to order it’s better.

Absolutely awful.
Literally, I’m embarrassed for them, but this place has crossed the line from being disappointing to making me actively angry.
I got the ceviche mixto, tamales de elote, y the el tipico desayuno.
Ceviche was almost entirely red onion. Description states there’s also cilantro, jalapenos, and herbs… this is legit the worst ceviche I have ever had. It was basically a to-go container of red onion with a few shrimp, a couple tiny cubes of white fish, and really small squid rings. I could taste the lime but I paid $16 for a ton of red onion, the very few bits of seafood were very clearly frozen, and were not thawed well. I’ve never had shrimp that has actively dried out my mouth.
Also they didn’t even peel off the shrimp lmao.
Tamales de elote… Two very small tamales that were essentially disintegrating. Not very sweet, very wet. Edible but could’ve just been a plain tamale for all I’d know.
El tipico… Did not have any avocado. The eggs weren’t fried, they were scrambled and were scrambled with bell peppers which weren’t even mentioned as a potential ingredient in the description. I don’t like scrambled eggs and have digestive issues with bell peppers sooo so much for that. The frijoles refritos were in a sad little side cup. The accompanying tamal is legit the smallest I have ever seen, smaller than the tamales de elote.
Plantains were cold and weird. Did not come with the two tortillas as was said in the description, but I doubt I would’ve missed them.
I have a chronic health condition which makes it hard to get an appetite, hard to get out to shop, this was such a waste of money and such a joke.
And yes, I’m very familiar with this type of food. I lived in La Union around Playas Negras for awhile.
I’m just mad I wasted my money on them. This place is awful. Next time I’d pay for an Uber out to the spots in Herndon or Sterling. Even with a $50 Uber trip there and back, that’d still be more worth it than this place.

Hello. Please give our thanks to the Bartender and others for the wonderful service and the amazing food . That drink she made was everything.. We had an amazing time. The atmosphere at La moliendo was so comfortable, the food at absolutely spectacular (we ate two meals there). Our waitress/bartender was just wonderful. Looking forward to eating with you in the future. What a great place!
Definitely would recommend to my friends and family

The pupusas were great, the fish was a little burnt but still tasty.

The food was disgusting. Well we had the Papusas which were normal/good. Nothing too exciting. But the batido de fresa was just frozen strawberry margarita mix. Our entree was the fajita plate with chicken, beef and shrimp. It was awful. It just tasted like old disgusting meat that should have been thrown away. We literally could not chew the steak. It was just too tough and dry. The chicken was not as bad but it tasted old and dry too. And the shrimp was also bad! They were not shelled or cleaned. And they too tasted dry and old. We were so sad because there is a wonderful place across the street with really good meat for a really good price. The place is called Juanitas. Go there instead! They did not offer us a discount until we asked and then they just took off a percentage of the plate that we didn’t eat. The manager never came out to apologize even though we were the only people there. We will never come here again!!
