La Puerta Verde

La Puerta Verde serves up bold, flavorful dishes in a relaxed, welcoming setting. The tacos and other menu items are well-seasoned and satisfying, with fresh ingredients that really pop. The service was friendly and attentive, though things moved a bit slowly during my visit. Still, it’s a solid spot for a casual, tasty meal, and I’d come back to try more of the menu.

There's a lot of things that can make a restaurant great. Atmosphere, charm, service, and food (to name a few). This place has it all. The food is fantastic (I got the Al Pastor) and the sangria is on point (not many places get that right). The service was also fantastic. It's lame, I know, but I tend to judge a location on how quick they are with refilling water. Let's just say you are never left waiting for anything. I also have to mention quality and authenticity. Being an LA native now living in the DMV, it's hard to find a solid Mexican restaurant. Which I'm glad to say that La Puerta Verde has been added to the short list of good Mexican spots I frequent. Overall. Don't hesitate. Come here. Eat good food. Drink good drinks. You'll be glad you did.

Good mexican restaurant. Authentic food and good drinks. Love the vibe of the restaurant as well Got the fajitas and they were pretty good. The tacos were a little bit better and had a lot of flavor. Although the corn tortillas were a little soggy and brittle All and all if you are in the area it's worth a visit

Great food and great experience. Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious. I don't have a picture of my poblano and corn soup but that was my favorite dish. Great flavors. Lamb (pictured) was seasoned perfectly.

Warning: I grew up in SoCal so I know my Mexican food! Corn tortillas are homemade. Carne asada taco had tasty tender beef. Pescado had an awesome mango slaw and crunchy battered fish. Elote loco (roasted corn) was packed with flavor. I basically ran through the happy hour menu and thoroughly enjoyed every taco. Flavors were punchy but balanced.
