Reviews Summary
La Chocita Grill is praised for its authentic and delicious Latin American cuisine, particularly its tender rotisserie chicken and flavorful pupusas. Diners appreciate the friendly service and cozy atmosphere, making it a great value. However, some have experienced issues with menu item availability and perceived inconsistencies in food quality.
"My family and I visited La Chocita Grill last night. We had roasted chicken, plantains, and more. I wish I could give more stars. The food was absolutely delicious. I think it was the best roasted chicken I’ve ever had in my life. The shrimp on rice was amazing and plantains cooked perfectly. My husband loved his food as well. We were stuffed after a few bites from our big lunch earlier. If I had known how good this food was going to be we wouldn’t have even had lunch. The atmosphere was super welcoming and staff were super kind. 10/10!"

"I was in the area and really wanted GST (Gas Station Thai = Thai Pan in Leesburg), but couldn’t find a place to park. Then while driving around that gas station looking for a spot to park, I smelled some amazing Pollo a La Brassa and saw La Chocita behind the gas station. That smelled drew me in!
The folks inside were friendly and sat me promptly. I ordered a quarter chicken and she immediately told me she didn’t have any chicken today (I think she meant not ready yet). I said I smelled it and that’s why I came in, so she said to wait and went in the back. She came back and said she had chicken, so I assumed the fresh, amazing smelling chicken I came in for that was being cooked was ready. Well, what I got was yesterday’s chicken which seemed to be re-heated. It was dry and flavorless… very boring. No spices to be seen or tasted – So very disappointing!
The beans that came with it were decent… not a lot of flavor, but great texture and still good. The salad was fresh, their “dressing” was the typical mayo-based sauce and it was ok.
Overall – Nothing at all exciting about this visit… I left disappointed."

SEAFOOD: Despite the proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, seafood is not a big specialty here. The Bonefish Grill (43135 Broadlands Center Plaza Blvd., Ashburn, 703-723-8246, www.bonefishgrill.com) is changing that, with a menu that emphasizes fish flown in daily. The restaurant lists the fish available and lets the customer choose the type of preparation and sauce.
