"There are many factors that can contribute to a restaurant's greatness, including atmosphere, charm, service, and food. This restaurant has all of these qualities. The food, particularly the Al Pastor, is excellent, and the sangria is top-notch. The service is also outstanding, with quick refills of water and prompt attention to all needs. As a Los Angeles native now living in the DMV, I can attest to the difficulty of finding a good Mexican restaurant, but La Puerta Verde has definitely made it onto my list of favorites. Overall, don't hesitate to visit this restaurant for delicious food and drinks. You won't regret it."
