t'Kila Latin Kitchen & Bar

"This was my first time coming in. I came in in the middle of day on a Thursday. It wasn't busy, and there was no other customers at the time. I sat at the bar, and I was quickly served a water, given a menu and told of the specials. There was a gentleman serving at the bar and a waitress was also there. It was nicely decorated with plenty of places to sit inside and outside as well. They gave me chips and salsa while I decided on what to get for lunch. I decided to get a rice bowl with carnitas as the protein. While I was waiting for my rice bowl, I was eating the chips and salsa. I noticed that there was a bug in the salsa. I showed it to the waitress, and she said she didn't think it was a bug. It looked an awful lot like a bug to me: it had a pale body with wings and antenna. She replaced my salsa, never giving me back the salsa bowl so I can take a picture and closer look. I didn't think anymore of it. Now that I'm reading some of the previous reviews. I'm concerned that it was a nymph kitchen pest. Their health inspections mention kitchen pests quite a bit from routine to follow up inspections. Anyways, I got my rice bowl. It was pretty good, though the portion was smaller than I expected. It was okay, a little bit too salty for me. Instead of tortilla strips, they had put chicharron pieces on top instead. I did study the menu a little bit because I was looking to order more food to take home, but had decided against it. They have a lot of different things on the menu that other people may like. Pretty solid service and okay food. However, I will not be coming back due to a couple of concerns."

"Closest thing I have had to a west coast authentic Mexican restaurant. Amazing food. The service is really top notch. Usually not that busy either which is such a shame. I highly recommend the habanero salsa! Tacos are all good! I had the torta cubana yesterday it was sooo good."

"I’ve been hooked on t’kila since I moved to Ashburn last year. So many great items on the menu, and they nail the dishes every time. One of the best spots in the area! (Photo of Salmón a la Parrilla from lunch today)"

"Five Stars across the board for this yummy local Latin kitchen and bar. Atmosphere and food and service feels very authentic. I had their dish called the Mexican Flag and it was delicious! I also highly recommend mixing and matching their many different taco options."

"Our New Go To!!! For me, expectations of a Latin restaurant are established with the salsa. If it’s pale, soupy, and lacking lacking body, you can’t expect much more. At t’Kila, it’s deep red, thick and savory. We both had margaritas, though pricey, they were delicious. I had the Brisket Barbacoa Enchiladas and my wife had the Barbacoa Taco as well as 2 different chicken tacos. All were on point, however the brisket was exceptional. The rice and black beans were terrific too. Overall, the food was well balanced and appropriately spiced. The meal was a symphony of beautiful Latin favors. The Sat/Sun brunch menu looks great as well. We can’t wait to go back! I will add pictures from our next visit."
