Hmmm.  Based on the location you provide, we are indeed thinking of the 
same Sierra Grill.  Unfortunately, I can't agree with your assessment of
their food.  However, never having been to Mexico, I can't honestly say
whether or not it's authentic Mexican.  I can say that the salsa is
runny, with only nominal evidence of vegetables being present.  It is
indeed quite fiery, but I prefer my salsa with chunks of fresh tomato
and onions.  That may be more evidence of my ignorance of "true Mexican
food."

Their chimis and burritos are quite reasonable, but their special (the 
name eludes me) is nothing more than strips of cheap steak smothered in
Bullseye BBQ Sauce over a pile of overcooked vegetables.  I hope that's
not real Mexican, either.

Frankly, my co-workers and I eat there only because of the paucity of
decent lunch places in the area.  Sierra Grill is barely a notch above
the other options in the Calverton/N. Silver Spring/Burtonsville area.
Or are there some gems we haven't discovered yet?
