(el?) Gringada on route 1 | Washington, DC

I eat relatively often at this Gringada's, and while you're right- it won't be haute cuisine in this century- I think the food deserves a beeter review than that!  All of the simple standards- burrito, enchilada, chimichanga, etc are good, with large portions, good sides, and friendly staff.  And definitely an inexpensive dinner that won't leave you hungry.

thanks for your time,

Again, it's a matter of taste.  But if you want the opinion of a born-and-raisedCalifornian, La Gringada is aweful.  It is very bland, doesn't taste at all like Mexican food is supposed to taste like.  It is a midwest version of Mexican food - I can't stand it.

For great Mexican try Sierra's Grill in Calverton.  Went there last night (I think we're becoming regulars!) and it was great as usual.  They have an all-you-can eat special on Mon and Tues for those who are interested...
