La Loma Mexican Restaurant, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

As a single diner, I first look at where they seat me and how long it takes for them to acknowledge me. At La Loma, I was invisible from the moment I entered the door. After finally being seated on the far other side of the restaurant from everyone else, I was first grateful because of the screaming children running around the tables in the front. Then others arrived, so there were children running all over the place. Then, the food was only mediocre and the Margarita I ordered was mostly flavorless. I know that I will not be back.

Food:

great food and service, wonderful lunch outside! Cute area. We travel to Mexico regularly and love the food, the food here authentic and every bit as good! Will definitely go next trip to DC!

Food:

Worse than taco bell. The shrimp and spinach enchilada cam with a few pieces of shimp.....the tiny, tiny salad shrimp. the cheap flavorless shrimp. The chicken was pre-sliced stringy rubbery. No free refills on sodas. Plenty of ice tough. The water comes with no ice. Location, location, location. GO to Baja Fresh, Chipolte, District Taco, Taco Bell any where else. GO to the French or German spots next door even

Food:

Honestly this is no where near Mexican food, you'll come more satisfied out of taco bell than here just saying, very disappointing. I guess the only good thing you can point out is that's it's a nice location for a date night but still food wise it's poor quality

Food:

Weird place.
I wouldn't say do not eat there, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
The salsa is good, the beans are heavy, but whatever, the beef in my tacos was "on the edge" I could smell that the meat was old when it was delivered -- I have 20+ years in upscale to fine dinning, there is a sort of sweat smell.

The manager/owner basically never took her hands out of her pockets, even when she stopped by to see how it was and I asked for more of my beverage, she called over the waiter being trained who could barely communicate -- it wasn't the language barrier that was the problem, but that he was not a server yet and didn't know the menu -- although the owner didn't seem to either, I asked, "do they came with sour cream?" she said, "no." I said, "good I hate sour cream."
The tacos come with sour cream!?! WTH?

It was a meal that left me feeling not great for a day afterwards. It wasn't the beef -- that was old but not turned, in my professional opinion, it was just the heavily refried beans.
Also, the rice was like bland and stale, not starchy like it was supper old, but like it had been sitting out unwrapped for a while.
Very, very unremarkable to eh food with a remarkably off vibe.

Oh, there main entrance door doesn't swing shut on its own. So you have to do it as you go through the double doors of the entrance -- this may sound petty, but such things in the front of the house suggest such things in the back of the house: dishwashers not properly functioning, not properly cleaned cutting boards, refrigeration not quite the right temperature, etc.
