Gringos & Mariachis Voted WTOP’s 2022 ‘Best Place to Get a Drink’; Two Other MoCo Restaurant/Bars Make The List

Gringos & Mariachis, the popular Mexican restaurant with both of its locations in Montgomery County, has been voted as 2022’s ‘Best Place to Get a Drink.’ The restaurant opened its first location at 4928 Cordell Ave in Bethesda back in early 2014 and opened its second location in Park Potomac three and a half years later in late 2017.

The restaurant, brought to you by the same folks who own and operate Olazzo in Bethesda (the Silver Spring location closed in April 2021, is co-owned by Kennedy High School graduate Roberto Pietrobono. It serves Mexican food and drink,  focusing on tacos and tequila. The restaurant offers a wide variety of margaritas as well as about a dozen beers on tap and various wines.

Both locations have lively bars that are often full of customers, including the outside patio at Park Potomac, which seats 60 people and has an indoor/outdoor bar that thrives when the weather cooperates.

Two other Montgomery County restaurant/bars also made the list. Bethesda’s Caddies on Cordell, located at 4922 Cordell Ave, came in 4th on the list while Rockville’s Finnegan’s Wake Irish Pub, 100 Gibbs Street, came in 8th.
