Amazing chips , queso , guacamole . The huevos rancheros are wonderful! You might have to make a reservation for 10 even if there is only 8 in your party & just find 2 others off the street to be seated

Order from the daily specials to find great entrees like the Cordero Andaluz made with a tender lamb shank in a Spanish-style brown sauce with pimientos .

Amazing food as usual and great attention muchas gracias !! Totally recommend the carne asada served on top of a sizzle plate guac pico OTS and rice and beans mmmm 4dessert the best 3 leches ever!

Delicious food for a good price! It looks like a high price restaurant but the prices are pretty good! Recommend it for any kind of celebration or just lunch time if you’re around. ????????

The swirl margaritas are awesome! Love fish tacos/shrimp tacos , shrimp chimichanga is a favorite + crab & shrimp enchiladas are crazy good! Large portions , trendy atmosphere and good service????

I still miss the day that Louriol Plaza was tucked inside a townhouse down on the corner of the block. But it's still great food, great atmosphere, and great time.

Love the chimichangas , tamales , and the Cadillac margaritas . Atmosphere is festive and customers are very friendly . Enjoy!

Seafood enchiladas are my favorite and the frozen margaritas are really tasty (and popular). This place is great for groups , and the staff is very accommodating.

Best Mexican we know of in the DuPont Circle, perhaps entire NW area of the city . Defiantly worth the walk from the metro along Embassy Row. Just one block from the Washington Hilton.

It was amazing I got the Mar y Tierra, 3 giant bacon wrapped shrimp , 2 bacon wrapped filet mignons with vegetables , soooooooo good lol

Best salsa and chips and great swirl margarita . Had the shrimp and crab enchiladas ..... Not as good as you would think, but everything else was worth the trip.

Worth trying! Seems crowded , but they manage the queue well enough. I tried a salad and a margarita cocktail , they were both delicious!

Lamb fajitas w/ a smear of mint jelly and all the fixin's is great! Always drink a margarita on the rocks with salt.

Lamb Fajitas is the best option on the Specials menu, if they're out of that definitely go for the Mar y Tierra, bacon-wrapped filet mignon and shrimp !

Pitcher of swirl .. .feeling a bit dangerous? Add sangria on top!Food wise, Im in love with the Bistec Cubano but the Lomo Saltado and the Mar y Tierra are AMAZING as well !

Amazing food and place. First of many times attending LP. The sweet plaintains and quesdadilla were awesome. Great fast service !

Excellent frozen margaritas and great Mexican food . Some of the best cheese dip I've ever had!

This is a great place to have a margarita on a rooftop deck in DC and the people watching is amazing.

Lauriol has insanely fast service , meh food, but the real reason anyone goes is for the Swirl margs -- just sit and enjoy yourself before ordering b/c your food will be out in a jiff.

Liz S is trippin! Have the best margarita on the eastern seaboard! Chips and salsa are out of this world! My dish of choice is Pollo Asda and I just can't get enough of the side walk or rooftop !

Usually a long wait but no worries. Get a sangrarita at the bar ! Yep! You heard right... Swirl of margarita and sangria ! You will not be disapppointed!

Get the shrimp quesadillas . They are to die for. Of course a pitcher of margarita is always needed when dining here.

Best mussels in town ! Dont forget reservation

1 Free Margarita w/ entree (up to four for each rider in an uberX) with your uberX receipt from 10/16/13 - 10/18/13! #DCLOVESuberX

They ALWAYS overestimate the wait. I was told 90 mins on a beautiful Saturday night and it was exactly 30 mins. Best margs and fajitas in town . Worth the wait!

Great place for brunch . Frozen margaritas are savagely good. Sit upstairs in a booth if you have kids. Great staff too.

I love their beef fajita ❤️

I loved that restaurant . Fajitas and crab and shrimp quesadilla are the must.

Don't let the long line fool you! Fast service , great food & awesome swirls! Quickly becoming DC's signature restaurant

Awesome lively atmosphere . Just came for happy hour margaritas , left very happy!

Try Gold Cadillac Margarita . They can make it skinny with less sugar.

Great margaritas , as everyone else noted. Loved the frozen peach ! Also try the seafood soup , I really liked it!

Ask to sit up on the rooftop patio , especially when it's cold/raining. It's heated and covered and so nicely lit!

Jan 11(right now!): the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo & the NDAA! Join us at 1130 in Lafayette Square across from the White House. The program and march will run from Noon-2:30pm EST

You can buy their incredible chips and salsa to go. Order at the bar .

The place is huge, so we didn't need to make a reservation . Mahi Mahi Mazatlan is soo delicioso! and Margaritas of course!

Try the Chips and Salsa - Stands the test of a hard core lover of TexMex . So far so good. Yum!

Great food, if you go from 3pm-5pm it's slower and quieter , but gets loud later.

Authentic food and excellent service in a lively atmosphere .

Instead of ordering the regular swirl margarita , order the "Sangrita", a mixture of swirl and sangria . Thank me later!

Closest to traditional Mexican Food you are going to get in the DC area. Or you can go to Lauriol's sister restaurant , Cactus Cantina.

Margaritas--on the rocks--rock! The food is a little on the bland side, but then I'm from Texas, where we have real Mexican food .

Go to Lauriol Plaza and have some combo of swirl margaritas , mojito's , and sangria . Combo fajitas are cheap and delicious, and EVERYTHING on the daily specials menu is GREAT!

Highly recommend the Saltado de Pollo -- chicken , nicely grilled veggies AND plaintains to boot!

Very good fajitas , excellent environment

The rooftop has a great street view !

Margaritas are outstanding!!!!

The food is pretty good. An up beat place where drinking is more the draw. But the food isn't bad and the venue is airy and fun. Meets expectations for fun and fare
