Hello San Diego!!! Okay maybe my review is being black-mailed by my taste buds... but I don't give a damn. When my steak burrito was set down in front of me rolled in foil to keep it hot my eyes watered with tears of sheer happiness. I unwrapped that massive beast of a burrito closed my eyes and took a nice big bite... Oh heaven!!! I could smell the salt in the air, feel the moist wind cling to my skin, the soft granules of sand squish between my toes.. I was HOME! Sitting in the sand of Mission Beach after walking one block from my favorite Roberto's Taco Shop location. This burrito took me across the country back to where my heart sings! The location is easily missed, and that's why I'll always refer to it as my little gem when I'm feeling a little taco shop - home sick. When I first walked in I just knew this place was gonna take me for a ride. The jukebox was blairing some nice little salsa song and there were two hispanic woman eating big plates rice & beans with tacos lines to one side brimming with what looked like deliciousness I can't describe. Now, let me set you straight.. it is not a carne asada burrito from San Diego.... but it is for damn sure the closest I have found. They have a carne asada steak on the menu though, so I may request them to use that next time in my burrito to try to get even closer to home. The ambiance is nothing special.. However they have like I said a blairing jukebox and a pool table.... so on an afternoon when I don't know what else to do.. I may find myself here with a burrito in one hand, corona in the other, waiting for my turn to take a shot and win some 9 ball! :") Deffinitely authentic and delicious! Check it out if you are as home sick for Cali as I am!!!!

The only real knock on this place is that it calls itself Mexican instead of Salva. Central American places in DC try to sell themselves as Mexican I guess to attract more gringos. There is no need because their own cuisine is great. I have only tried their salvadoran food and can't vouch for their mexican fare (which I'm sure is pretty good also). Typical joint with mostly men drinking beer, munching on food, and listening to tunes. The women behind the counter know what theyre doing. Whether it's a breakfast meal, lunch, or dinner, you'll get some tasty food. Just don't expect "ambiance" and don't be scared by the men hanging out there - they are just trying to get their drink and grub on just like the rest of us and are no harm.

Love this place, the casadias are epic and a billion times better then taco bell. Go here for real meat instead of the sawdust that franchise sells. 4 stars and up are right on the money with their reviews.

I am a San Diego native with family owning two Mexican restaurants. I decided to go on a search for a Carne Asada burrito out here. Tried their version of the "carne asada burrito" and was deeply disappointed! Their steak was not juicy nor tender. It looked a day or two old and very very greasy. The burritos back home in San Diego do not include rice, beans and lettuce. Overall the burrito was a 1.5 out of 5. Still in search of the perfect carne asada burrito or chicken rolled tacos!

Food tastes exactly like what I had in Cancun. Very authentic, different from most other Mexican places. A little cheap because they don't provide free chips and salsa as most other Mexican places do, that's probably why the price is slightly lower here.

We came in to get a meal and got menus very quickly. We asked for the lomo saltado, the chicken burrito, and a fruit salad drink. The wait time to get the meal was over 30-40 minutes for the food and also for the fruit salad drink. We had the lomo saltado come out first, 10 minutes later, the fruit salad drink, and lastly the chicken burrito about 5-10 minutes after that. The fruit salad drink was awesome! The lomo saltado was good, the rice was average, and the salad was also average. The chicken burrito was not chicken.... we got a steak burrito instead. We would've asked the waiter why we got the steak instead of chicken in the burrito but feared it would take another 30 minutes to get the meal out and didn't want to wait that long. The atmosphere felt awkward. There was ONE track playing in the restaurant, then it would stop for about 20 minutes and then another track would play. Also the server seemed to be out it it today and not really paying attention to our orders.

If you've actually had real Mexican food, you'll know that this is not it. I wanted a burrito. They put all the usual fixings: beans, rice, meat, etc. There was not much chicken. The food was cooked, but not too flavorful. If you need a quick fix, this will be alright but never a substitute for real Mexican food. Most of the "Mexican food" around the area has Central and South American influence, so if that floats your boat you might want to look at some of the other items on the menu.

GREAT FOOD but everything else sub-par. Though I am Korean, I consider myself an expert in Latin American cuisine after marrying my lovely Salvadoran wife years ago. Living in Rockville, I have tried all of the Latin American restaurants in the area and believe Tomatillo to have among the best food in the area and is someplace I get take-out from at times. The food is quite delicious, but there are several reasons I don't buy here regularly. no. 1 reason are the prices. Without question, the best Latin cuisine in the area comes from La Brasa just a couple miles away from here. However, for some reason Tomatillo is more expensive than La Brasa for many items and never cheaper. They also do things no other Latin restaurant does, like charge $3 for chips and salsa instead of just giving it to you. Tomatillo is also pretty bad as a sit-down restaurant. Simply by looking at the space, you can tell this place is pretty old. The plates look like they cost $2 from Walmart. It's also got loud Latin music blasting through the speakers all day, which is very off putting - like the owners can't decide if they want the place to be a restaurant or a bar In conclusion, this place is OK as a take-out place and the food is great, but it's disappointing to dine in.

Definitely get the fruit salad juice with your meal if you visit Tomatillo, it is so refreshing and full of actual fresh fruit. When I came here yesterday I was still decompressing from work and feeling grumpy, but the fruit salad juice and a chicken quesadilla fixed me right up. You can also get a Corona or Modelo there if you are so inclined. It was a pleasant experience sitting at the bar next to their open kitchen, watching fresh tortillas being made and chatting with the super friendly ladies that work there. Tomatillo needs a College Park location!! :D

This was the only restaurant in Twinbrook Center that I hadn't patronized, so I stopped in a few nights ago and ordered the burrito bowl (??) and a Modelo Black beer. The burrito bowl turned out to have all the fixings of an amply-filled burrito but in a bowl, no tortilla. It was fairly decent, good without being outstanding. As someone else noted, the place is clean, open, and the food is prepared on an open grill. The staff was helpful. I will probably come in again when I want to enjoy a $10 dinner and am famished.

I happened upon this place while buying time until I had to begin my parent-teacher conferences on a Monday night. I really didn't want to leave school at 3:45, go home, eat a quick meal only to turn around 1 1/2 hours later. I wanted something quick, but not McDonald's quick. Tomatillo Mexican Grill fit the bill. For a small, nondescript place their menu is expansive. There was nobody here at 5:30 pm except for the two workers speaking rapid Spanish to each other. Choices include about fifteen specialty items, chicken entrees, burritos and quesadillas. Other dining options include Salvadorian specialties such as four different kinds of pupusas for $2.20 each. Being the unadventurous diner named Libby F that I am, I opted for a cheese quesadilla ($6.15). It was the cheesiest quesadilla I have ever had! It had no other ingredients in it, but dressed up with the sides of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo, it was perfection. The pico de gallo (which I prefer over salsa) was fresh and flavorful. The combined flavors made for a tasty and filling meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area, but don't make a special trip.

Came for chicken from Don Pollo and decided to stop in for two pupusas to go. In reading the menu I began to worry my pupusas may not come with the delicious cabbage salad I'm accustomed to (menu indicates, "Served w/ Salsa."), no worries though... I got my cabbage! bad news... the cabbage didn't help my two pupusas... bland and forgettable. won't be going back. sorry.

We went here to eat because we were stuck at the laundromat next door. First of all we ordered a veggie burrito which the girl read back to me on the order as veggie quesadilla and I corrected her veggie burrito, and guess what we got:a veggie quesadilla. not only that but we ordered the ceviche, big mistake, it was practically raw. My husband and I eat a lot of ceviche so we know when it is prepared correctly and when it is not. Thinking it was an oversight because ceviche is a tricky dish I took it back and nicely told them that the ceviche needed to sit in the lemon and lime juices longer because they were still raw. I thought I was doing them a favor cause if ceviche is done wrong, your stomach will not love you, and they could have major issues with the health department. Anyways, they got a complete attitude, I didn't understand what the cook said to my husband but she was pissed. They did refund the money for the ceviche but we didn't ask for the refund on the "burrito" cause it would have meant another trip back into the restaurant and dealing with a nasty attitude. I would never come back to this place, I don't mind if you mess up my food, just fix it without being rude. (or in the case of ceviche, there is no fixing it, just get your money back). So bottom line here, at this place order the opposite of what you want, and eat the ceviche if you are suicidal or want some time off from work.
