Consistently decent food, fun atmosphere with everyone pretending it's really worth the 2-hour wait. Getting shlocked on margaritas while waiting for your table is a DC institution.

I had the worse experience there ever on Cinco de Mayo. The Owner was rude and I will NEVER go to this place ever again. I am also making sure that my friends, co-workers, or clients ever go to this place. We were accused of seating ourselves from the owner, after the hostess sat us there. You would like he would apologize after the hostess confirmed that she sat us there....but he didn't (mind you we waited for 2 hours to be seated). He's the rudest person that I've met and I will post this on every review I can.

I had the crab enchilladas - they were delicious. The place was a little bit cold, but temperature was my only complaint. The food and atmosphere made up for it!

Amazing nightlife and great food. Don't bring kids -- especially b/c the wait is about an hour.

Lauriol plaza is a multilevel Mexican restaurant. There always seems to be a wait around dinnertime, even though it's such a huge restaurant! The food is fresh and is well prepared, and service is g...

I've driven past there and every time the porch is overflowing, but note to selves if you get there before 6 there was no wait. It's not what one would expect of a mexican restaraunt as far as atmosph...

They love babies, the food is good and fast, and there's so much noise, a crying child is barely noticed. Beware, if your toddler is climbing, because they have nice tablecloths and decorations.

Fun place, good food, but loud (which can sometimes be good, if you have a crying baby).

Very good Mexican food for the money. Not worth trying to use a stroller. Very little space between tables. They do have highchairs and the staff is very nice. No kids menu, but tortillas are fresh and...

Fun place to go to with friends, but there is a huge line on weekends, so definitely try to make reservations. In the spring and summer you can sit outside. The food is good, albeit not very...

Lauriol Plaza is a fabulous restaurant - perhaps more fun with just the hubby, but baby has done fine there also. They have high chairs and don't mind children, but it's better to go in early evening when the...

The best place for dining is on the rooftop terrace, which is stroller-accessible via their lift. Highchairs are available and the servers will bring (upon request), drinks in a plastic cup with a lid and...

This place is gigantic (it seats 330) and immensely popular -- often named as the city's best Mexican restaurant -- so despite its size, you may still have to wait for a table. Lauriol Plaza looks like a...
