La Puerta Verde

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.

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.

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 menu, food had great presentation. The service was good and the servers are very well trained. The open kitchen view was a very nice touch.

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.

I stumbled across this place while visiting the city and it's Amazing! Happy Hour is basically like Taco Tuesday every day! The food was delicious and Kayla the bartender was great!

Came here after a terrible experience at City Winery and wish I would've went here in the first place! Solid drinks, delicious food on the restaurant week menu and fast service. Even left my keys here and my waitress flagged down my Uber and saved me a massive headache.

I’m going to be a regular of this place! The customer service and the food were wonderful! And the cocktails: OMG! Will recommend a 100%
