Paladar Latin Kitchen | Gaithersburg

Food was tasty as the staff were friendly. Good date night spot.

Band good every other Thursday.

We had a blast! The drinks were amazing. Food was really good, we forgot to take pics before we started eating. The guacamole is a must so many favor profiles to choose from! Its a busy place and they had live music. We are heading back in the week to try more items! Vegetarian options: Lots of sub options Parking: Park and walk Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has tables that will accommodate.

The food was good. The drinks selected from the menu were hit or miss. About 50/50 among the group enjoyed their drink. Appetizers were great. The homemade fried plantain chips with the guac are a must. No crumbs were left. Fried calamari app with sweet chili sauce was a favorite...even with the toddler. The kids menu portions were huge. The kids chicken quesadilla with grilled, chopped chicken went over well. It also had fresh apple slices, churros, and plantains, which were great. I would definitely go back for apps and be more selective about drink requests. Kid-friendliness: They had booster seats and crayons. Very accommodating.

The Good: food was delicious and filling (the tacos are FAB and I always love perfectly made sweet plantains), receiving food was quick, parking is easy, close and free (though that's more due to Downtown Crown than Paladar), happy to throw together a table for us without a reservation The Just Ok: the sangria tasted mostly like watered down juice (therefore a bit expensive for what you get), the service was hard to get ahold of to order and pay (we spent a lot of time trying to make eye contact to order and had to actually grab a different person just to get the bill), for those with hearing or projection difficulties it might be a bit too loud (but the music was a good match for the atmosphere!) Context: three people going for dinner around 6:30pm on a Saturday night. Can only speak to the tacos, cheesy bread, Cubano, and sweet plantains.

Good music, great happy hour!
