Food good and delicious. Music probably a little bit too loud that you can’t really hear each other during conversations. But overall I recommend it.

"I'm thrilled to share my enthusiasm for La Villa Restaurant, located at 18701 N. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg, Maryland! This hidden gem is a must-visit, and I'm excited to give kudos to the owner, Mr. Edwin, and our favorite manager, Blanca. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the exceptional service. I met Leslie, a schoolteacher and server, who shared her passion for helping the community. Her dedication was inspiring, and I knew I had found a special place. The food is amazing, and the service is absolutely outstanding! On my next visit, I met Yajaira who went above and beyond with her warm smile and exceptional service. And then there's Nicole, a quiet but amazing server who always delivers. I highly recommend supporting local businesses like La Villa Restaurant, especially during challenging times. This restaurant stands out in the DMV area, offering delicious and healthy food in a welcoming atmosphere. Don't miss out - come and experience it for yourself! Bombastic 2.0 indeed!"

Made our first visit to celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend with a group of friends and I have to say that food is high quality & prepared correctly, everybody enjoyed it. The Margaritas/Micheladas are to die for and our waitress was polite and efficient. Dj after 10pm no cover charge on Friday night. Overall we’ll definitely be back to La Villa!...

First time visiting this location and I can say it’s a very interesting experience. The food is good. I came on a Wednesday night and I was surprised of the DJ playing Spanish hits after Spanish hits and given a up beat atmosphere. They were a few people here, the bar patrons and a small group but it was lively and everyone was having a good time. I would recommend this place if you are in town and want something to eat.
