Nice place for a quick bite in the morning. I recommend their breakfast burritos.

There isn't anything special or good about this spot, unfortunately. The interior is not exciting or inviting. The menu display is a bit confusing because it is on 3 different TVs with them changing screens. The service is very slow. It took a long while to get my food, and they weren't busy at all. I ordered 3 beef tacos, and they were bland. The tortillas didn't seem fresh. I would not recommend this place.

I truly enjoy this place. I come here often to get the same dish. I grab their 3 carne asada tacos. It’s one of my favorite spots to pick up tacos. Very authentic. I have had their paposas (not sure if I spelled it correctly) and they are great also.The service is kind and friendly. It seems like a family own business.

The absolutely best review I could have given this place: an empty plate! Food was that good.

Great place for the location and the low prices. The lady at the front was very nice and sweet, as well as the guy who brought out my order. The pupusas were good and I liked my entree too. I'd come back!

Me and my wife stopped in a few times while staying in DC, and I'm still searching for a place that can replicate the flautas I had here. Incredible!

Amazing papusas and other Salvadorian food. Relatively inexpensive too which is a plus for the area.

We have been searching for a good pupusa place in the district and THIS. IS. IT. They are fresh and flavorful and I wish I had room to eat more because they are ? $3 pupusas are a win. My only complaint is how early they close :( harder to come often.

Outstanding and inexpensive authentic Salvadoran Central American food with other American and Mexican options as well.

Small non descript place. Good was great and the smells made your appetite grow while waiting. The had digital menus on screens that flipped too quickly so reviewing what you want beforehand might be a good idea. I ordered and then realized there was another offering on a screen I didn't catch that I wanted to try. The food was so good that we will be back the next time we are in the area and I'll try something else.

Visited here for lunch with two friends. Only giving this an Average rating vice a Poor rating because one friend liked her dish. My dish and my other friend's dish were definitely below average. I had the shrimp tacos and it was basically a few pieces of shrimp wrapped in a tortilla. Hardly any sauce and even less vegetables. My dissatisfied friend had the cheese/chicken quesadilla and it had WAY too much cheese; depending on your tastes, maybe you'd prefer that. The friend who enjoyed her dish had the veggie taco salad. Prices were OK. No chips and salsa included. Not environmentally friendly at all. Chips came in a zip-lock bag. Salsa, guac, and sour cream each came in their own little plastic container, so each of us received three of these. Plastic utensils. If I recall correctly, plates were plastic or styrofoam. Also, customer service is non-existent. Person behind the register who takes your order doesn't even say hi. Try the place once. Maybe you'll get a good dish. I'm not returning.

Meh food is ok. I only received 3 plantains and the rice was undercooked. Chicken was a bit dry but the jalapeño sauce helped that. The undercooked rice was very off putting and three PIECES of a plantain with a meal is not acceptable for me.

I wanted to love it, I did.I personally think the menu should be much smaller. I don’t think they should offer Mexican because it doesn’t deliver:/ I ordered the fajitas, and I was very underwhelmed. I’m Mexican, I know what I dig. I appreciated the effort, but this was a miss for me.I think they should perfect their pupusas, and make that their focus:)
