Salvadoran Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Really enjoyed ! love the Papusas 😃“

“I love this place. The family fully operates this lively restaurant / bar and serves the best pupusas and my favorite lomo saltado- but don’t skip the steak tacos. Whatever mama marinates that steak in I end up having it 2-3 times a week. The micheladas are delicious too. Stop by this no frills venue from the 80’s for some laughs with the locals and industry folk who end their night here post shift. Love Judy’s and the staff.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic—especially the tacos and fajitas. The service was just as impressive: friendly, attentive, and fast. A great spot for anyone craving quality Mexican food with warm hospitality. Highly recommend!“

“Great food right by my office . Will be back again“

“Super recomendado, la atención personalizado la gente muy amable la comida deliciosa 😋 un 10 de 10 el servicio de catering fue wow, las quesadillas y empanadas fue un éxito con los invitados.Ojo no suelo hacer review pero ellos se lo merecen“

“Wow this restaurant was amazing! Located in the heart of DC, it’s easy to get here by bus or metro. The menu was very diverse with many Mexican, Italian and Salvadoran options. I chose to get the Camarones ala parrilla (grilled shrimp) and a Pupusa de queso (cheese pupusa). You could tell this is authentic the food is from the taste. The staff was also quite helpful. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely go back!“

“buen servicio buena comida“

“Hands down, some of the best pupusas in the city. I had a friend come down from NYC and she loved them so much she got a whole other order to bring onto the plane.

The owners are fantastic, service is warm and friendly. Play some songs on the jukebox while you’re here!“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“Super traditional restaurant. Pupusas are out of control! My favorite is chicharron con queso (pork with cheese), but with frijoles (beans) is great too. Soap de res is definitely recommended. All in all, great lunch place with very reasonable prices - $13 per dish.“

“buna.comida hi.buena.atencion“

“Great spot for affordable, authentic Latin food. I loved all the veggies and peppers on the tacos I ordered, and the frijoles refritos were SO flavorful. I got 5 tacos with rice and beans for myself and one other person, and we had a ton leftover. And it was only $22! I’d love to go back and try some of the sopas. I got my order for takeaway, but there’s a few tables inside as well. Will definitely be returning to this local, family spot :)“

“This place is a neighborhood gem! I love the food, never disappoints. The staff is great and margaritas are delish. I always recommend his spot.
I usually get the pupusas, they taste fresh and el cortido is perfect. I've gotten the seafood quesadilla and it's also a hit. there's no misses with anything I've ordered“

“Nice place to hang with friends“

“Great little place. The lomo saltado was good but the black beans that come with it are fantastic. Knowing a little Spanish definitely helped when ordering but I'm sure you'd be fine without it. Everyone there (staff and other customers) were extremely nice and even helped when my Spanish failed. We will definitely add this to our list of places to come back to.“

“Food was delicious!! Service was excellent!! People were so friendly! Love it here!!“

“Pretty good steak burrito stuffed full with meat, cheese on top, with rice and beans on the side and fresh avocado, tomato, lettuce, and sour cream for topping. beans were not refried style, which I appreciated. Generous portions & fast, friendly service. I'd like to try more.“

“My sister told me about this place and it was worth the visit. I cannot tell you about the spirits or the beer but the Spanish food was excellent. Our server was so nice and friendly. The food came out looking amazing smelling delicious and tasted like a little slice of perfection. Definitely recommend a visit.“

“Great service, great food, and great atmosphere! I love getting food from here. I get food from here a lot! Would definitely recommend.“
