My parents and I dined at La Mexicana while enjoying a comedy show. They run several comedy events every month and donate 50% of all proceeds to organizations determined by the guest comedian. I had a great time indulging in steak tacos and frozen pina colodas, while also being entertained. The restaurant is in a more hidden shopping center, but it shouldn't be dismissed. I highly recommend going and signing up for one of their comedy events!

Yum!! The doors are dark, and I was a little unsure if I was using the right doors to get in. But once I was inside, I really enjoyed it! I sat at the bar since I was there by myself. Attentive service from both bartenders. I'm doing a high protein, low carb diet so I went with the chicken sampler. Delicious! The taco chicken and the chicken and rice were my favorites. So juicy and flavorful! Fresh guacamole was also great!

We just happened to find this restaurant trying to find some good mexican food. The happy hour drinks and food were great! The staff is attentive and nice. We went on a Monday and there was an open mic which was even better. (They even have a comedy club in a section next to the restaurant/bar on weekends!) Best kept secret in Gaithersburg.

Wonderful food, fabulous restaurant! La Mexicana is a great Mexican restaurant that also is home to the Give a Hoot Comedy Club! This club has great comics-some are new and some are seasoned. Such a fun evening. Wonderful authentic food and all for a very reasonable price! My favorite part is that half of the comedy club income is given to local charities. You simply can't beat that! For a fun evening, head to the Give a hoot Comedy club at La Mexicana!

Casual atmosphere, greeted by nice patron sitting outside. They do have outside seating but Sat at the bar and was greeted by Mo, a very nice bartender. Ordered a margarita on the rocks and carnita tacos. Chips & mild salsa were yummy! Carnita tacos were fresh and I enjoyed them down to the last bite. Great service, great value, delicious food and of course MO, a very kind, personable bartender.

First thanks for hosting Give A Hoot Comedy Club in the private dining area. La Mexicaña is a hidden gem. Friday night the locals were out enjoying the end of the work week. Saturday night was a bit quieter. I found the staff super responsive and friendly. We really liked the food - tried nachos, yucca, pork and chicken tamales, pork chops, quesadillas and the chicken sampler platter. Delicious!

Nice environment with a private party room, friendly, good stuff, and very reasonable prices, especially given the economy these days. Plus plenty of parking.

La Mex is our favorite place. I have had many family celebrations there as well as drinks at the bar. The food is delicious, authentic and affordable. The happy hour prices are fantastic and Jimmy makes the best margaritas in town.

I just started going to La Mexicana and I keep going back because the food is great, the ambiance is fun, and the service is friendly and fast. Today I took 5 friends with me and they LOVED their meals. I highly recommend the Taco Salad. My friend who got a fajita meal thought it was the best she has had. The waitress, Alexis, was speedy and helpful. She has a very relaxed attitude and made the whole experience pleasant. I love it!

Visiting Ash S. at his awesome restaurant. He could not have a better personality, always smiling and gracious. We are loving the food, tacos and fajitas. Trey behind the bar was super nice and attentive to everyone in the place. Great margarita. Come for a great happy hour with great prices! Casuals as well as suits feel comfortable and welcomed. Cannot wait to come back.

My husband and I have eaten here or taken out over 10 times and have had a great experience every time. The food is always delicious and is priced well. It's hard for us to eat Mexican food anywhere else now because we always compare it to La Mexicana. We have never had an experience with bad service that other people are complaining about.

I am very happy with the service and food that I have gotten from the restaurant. We have 7sed them a couple of times for catering at work, and each time has been a huge success. The food is delicious and the service is friendly, cost effective, and delivered on time. The owners are wonderful.

Last night was my first visit to La Mexicana. We were about 30 people, there to see a band, The GoodFellas. The vibe of La Mexicana was great! We were in a large room with a large enough dance floor and we had a blast! Most of us had dinner there too, and Ashe made sure we all got served in a timely manner. The food was great. I had the enchilada platter with rice and the best refried beans I've ever had. The food was hot and delicious. Drinks were also very reasonably priced. I drove down there from Baltimore and would do it again. What a great night!
