• Tapas / Small Plates • Silver Spring
Three brothers and a brother-in-law from El Salvador realized their long-held dream of opening a restaurant together in November of last year. Jaime Sorto, his brothers Hugo and Jose Bonilla, and his brother-in-law Jose Zelaya looked for a name that symbolizes their concept of two cultures coming together.They chose La Malinche, the name given to a historical figure who has been at the center of controversy for centuries. The noble Mexican woman was enslaved and given to Hernán Cortés, a Spanish conquistador. She became his interpreter and confidante. Their son was viewed as the first mestizo, a child of mixed blood.Many Mexicans consider La Malinche or Doña Marina to have been a traitor, but today, she is also honored as the symbolic mother of the country’s mixed-race people.At La Malinche, all of the starters, vegetables, meats and seafood are served as Spanish tapas, called botanas in Mexico.

    Consistently a favorite. Best deal in town for brunch. They use fresh, high quality ingredients so a dish as simple as avocado toast shines. Highly recommended.

    We have dined here before and have enjoyed our experience. The wait staff is polite and knowledgeable. We had a late brunch reservation and we experienced many if the staff as the restaurant was between brunch and dinner. I enjoyed the stuffies for the first time and would order again. My husband always orders the clam chowder. We also had the fish sandwich and the crab roll, also very good. We were given an Apple Brown Betty for dessert. I wasn't hungry, but we ate all of it and would have it again. Apples were cooked perfectly and the ice cream very rich The banquet seats are very comfortable and would ask to be seated there . Very relaxing place to meet friends and dine

    I had an amazing experience at 1123 by Chef Tobias! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a fantastic evening. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was crafted with precision and flavor, showcasing the talent behind the kitchen. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear that Chef Tobias has created something truly special. A huge shoutout to the bartenders, Mayo and Stephon! They were incredible—not only did they craft amazing drinks, but their energy and hospitality made the night even more memorable. Their cocktails were top-notch, and their friendly, engaging service really set the bar high. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend 1123 to anyone looking for a great dining and bar experience. Five stars all the way!

    The whole entire experience was amazing! This is the 2nd year the family and I have been here for Valentine’s Day together celebrate & as always, it was perfect! The only downside was the waitress during our visit. She had a terrible attitude and it seemed as though she had a very short temper, however the food was great and everything was beyond amazing. Another memory for the books! Thank you Matchbox <3

    We had an amazing Chef’s Table experience at Huncho House last night! We were able to see all of the dishes as they were being prepared and interact with the chefs. Everyone was so cool and the energy was really positive! The food…next level delicious and plated beautifully! We couldn’t decide on just 2 entrees so we ordered 3. For appetizers, we had the crab topped charbroiled oysters and cheesesteak eggrolls. For entrees, we had the Red Snapper, Jerk Short Rib and Seafood Fried Rice with shrimp added. We ordered regular Mac n Cheese and Brussel Sprouts as our sides. Every dish was cooked to perfection and so flavorful! The sauce on that snapper was CRAZY good! Sweet and spicy. Short rib was tender and tasty! The fried rice had salmon on top as well and was a filling dish! The drinks were mixed very well too. We felt special and got individual attention for our whole stay. The chef’s table experience was very worth it! As an added bonus, the owner Tobias Dorzon came in as we were wrapping up our meal. It was cool to have him come through as he continues to recover! Blessings to him for continued healing! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
