One of my favourite. The food is good, atmosphere is great and you can't go wrong with the service. AAA+

The food was very good. The people were very friendly. Considering the crowd and pressure the staff was facing to seat many many people, I would say they handeled with great dignity and style.
I would recommend everyone to try it. A very good mexican food place.

The best Mexican food in DC. And I'm from California aka Mexico 2.0 so I would know. This is a popular spot so get there early.

The setting of Lauriol Plaza is very nice, but as far as the quality of food, it is okay. Maybe, because I am a native Texan I realize that the food served here was not authentic or maybe just needed improvement. But on the flip side, I didn't have to wait for seating and they were quite full, nor did I have to wait long for my plate. They moved swiftly.

The air at Lauriol Plaza is filled with excitement and the place is usually packed. The staff is nice but can be abrasive at times.

Food is usually excellent but service can be lackluster at times. I've been going to LP for so many years but I find service to be hit or miss (one was so rude I almost stopped going). Overall, excellent fajitas, atmosphere and margaritas to die for!

this is my all time fave restaurant! best food for the best price! only place i know where you can get filet mignon and shrimp for $17! the service is always good as well. the atmosphere is great and the crowd is mixed (all types of people)
