In a list released by Washington Business Journal, Rockville-based Cava came in third. Cava had 50 restaurants overall (not including their full-service restaurants) and 27 in the metro area.
California Tortilla, also based in Rockville, has 47 total locations with 25 in the metro area.
Earlier this month they closed their only MoCo location (Montgomery Mall). Menchie’s opened last February and made it about 15 months before closing.
After slowly making their way towards transitioning to a fully-vegan restaurant, they are finally there!
Kustom Pizza & Subs announced that they are fully vegan as of May 18th, 2018.
The sign on the door states that the new owner will continue to sell beer and wine and will switch to Ethiopian food going forward.
As reported earlier today by Source of the Spring, a notice on the door refers customers to their College Park location.
Last February the company announced that they’d be closing 50 stores nationally. At the time, there were 6 MoCo locations. Now there are just three– Kentlands, Germantown, and Rockville.
The food is described as “a fun twist on American.” Take a look below.
They’ve kept some of your favorites like the lamb chops, lollipop chicken, Chef D Platter, saganaki, zucchini fritters, mini gyro, etc. and have added about 10 new dishes for the warmer months.
Not pictured is the ‘Crab n’ Cake’ because I forgot to take a picture of it before we gobbled it down. It was tied with the Lamb Frites as my favorite dishes, but our party enjoyed all of the new flavors.

Silver Spring blogger, @MyLineIsRed (Twitter), stopped in and was able to get some pictures of Buena Vida prior to its opening (full versions of the picture seen below). MyLineIsRed was able to eat at TTT and described the food as being really good, but warned that the restaurant was extremely busy.
