“The food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the people were incredible. They wanted our dining experience to be enjoyable“

“Came on a Friday night for a quick dinner. The restaurant didn't look like much from the outside but inside it was popping and pretty spacious with two dining rooms. The ambiance is your neighborhood mom-and-pop shop, no fancy decor, very down to earth, but everything felt well-maintained and clean. The restaurant was quite busy but the servers were very attentive and came to take our order as soon as we sat down. We had horchata ($4) and tamarindo ($3.5) for drinks. Both were very good and reasonably priced. The complementary salsa was amazing, with amazing flavor and a great kick. We shared El Tipico and Lomo Saltado as our mains. The portions were generous for two hungry people. Their combo platters are great for people looking to try a bit of everything. My favorite from El Tipico platter was the Pupusas Revueltas, so cheesy and paired well with the slaw. The tamale and enchilada were delicious and generously filled. The chicken filling was slightly dry so will try a different option next time. The Lomo Saltado was also great. It came with crunchy fries, well-marinated meat, and a flavorful, gingery sauce. The food took a bit long to come out (~40 mins), which is completely understandable for a mom-and-pop restaurant. My friend and I were running for a show afterward so had to rush our meal. Would recommend budgeting some extra time:)“

“Have been in and out of that Exxon many times, and never even considered eating here. I was hungry and grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. It was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, have since been back and gotten the steak and some other things. The cheese pulls are ridiculous. Hidden Gem!“

“I blindly put the orange sauce all over my taco papusas and now my mouth is screaming.I came here craving tamales and also ordered the steak taco papusas.The tamales were alright. But I was looking for more of a SoCal Mexican tamale and these were not it. They're small sweet corn tamales with Salvadoran sour cream on the side and they do make for a good appetizer. But definitely not a savory meal and that's okay.The taco papusas were molten hot and delicious. I'm stuffed. The first one I had I poured the green salsa and lime over, but I couldn't pick it up, so I dug in with a fork. It was great.The second one however... Without tasting the orange sauce, I dumped it all over and took a bite. It's not an intense flavor, but boy oh boy does it burn. I almost wasted my horchata trying to cool my mouth off to eat. 10/10 would burn again.The cashier definitely didn't speak English well. And I don't speak Spanish well. Possibly in the future, I'll order online to make it less confusing for everyone involved. Regardless we managed to get my order in which was clearly displayed on the screen. It worked out. It did not help that I kept changing my mind on items halfway through.I'm definitely ordering from here again when I'm done feeling like a stuffed balloon.“

“Ordene un arroz con gandules y unas alcapurrias. El arroz con gandules estaba durisimo no se podia ni comer. Fui a decirle a la muchacha que si me lo podia cambiar por otra cosa y se nego me dijo que tenia q ser por el mismo arroz. Le dije que no lo queria que me devolviera mi dinero y se nego. No se lo recommends a nadie el services fue malisimo. Las actitudes de la dama fueron malisimas. Una vez te cobras lo que quieren es quedarse con tu dinero.“

“I just had a company meeting here and it was excellent! Service and food was phenomenal as always. I can’t thank them enough for providing a great atmosphere for me and my company. I will definitely be having a team meeting here again.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“I almost didn’t want to write this because this truck has become my BEST kept secret lol but I can’t deny them a worthy review. The food is SO DAMN GOOD!!!!!!! Fresh, quality, seasoned ingredients, GENEROUS HEFTY PORTIONS, & literally EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!!! I’ve gotten their steak taco bowl, chicken taco bowl, carne asada tacos, pupusas, steak quesadillas, burritos, made to order and everything was loaded with meat, fresh veggies, delicious condiments and sides. Even their sour cream is perfect & I don’t even like sour cream that much.I love it here!!!!!!!!! Side note: they are so hardworking and sweet, they’ve even been open during inclement weather, which I have thanked them for profusely. I will keep supporting this business ever chance I get as I could eat here everyday happily.“

“Food is fantastic! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and great service. A good space to catch up with a friend or watch a game.“

“Great Salvadoran ?? food! One of the best in town for pupusas and pescado frito. A great veriaty of menu options to fit your cravings, like yuca con chicharon (yuca with fried pork), savory beef and chicken dishes, and the frescos are also great.“

“If you want authentic homemade Mexican food, this a great place to go. Small little shop that offers a variety of different Mexican dishes. Personally my favorite dish to order is the gordita campechan. Comes with pork and steak. Pack full of flavor and with the hot sauce make it a 10/10. The tacos and pupusas are good as well but my MVP is the Gordita. Will definitely be back“

“This is not a Restaurant, if you look for the place there is a house that apparently sells beer, on one side you will see a white food truck and this is where you have to order the variety of dishes they offer.The price-quality-flavor are very good and they are very worth enjoying either right there on some tables that they have which would be uncomfortable in cold weather because it is outdoors, so it is better to order to go.“

“A very tasty Salvadoran restaurant in Mt Pleasant! I was really blown away by the flavors of the pupusas, although the plates were a little lackluster. The steak could have been slightly more tender, for instance. This was a very tasty place and I would encourage you to eat this food--but most likely do take out. We had a very unpleasant experience in the restaurant when an argument erupted between the workers and some Mt Pleasant locals who appeared to be panhandling inside the restaurant. It was not handled quickly or quietly, which made the experience quite unpleasant for all.“

“Open for carry out only during COVID. Food is great from breakfast dishes to their churrascos. If you want some comfort food from Guatemala that you will not see in many places order GARNACHAS. They are a tasty appetizer very similar to Mexican Sopes..“

“This place is a hidden gem. Inexpensive, authentic, and delicious Latin American food. The pupusas and tacos are great. There are other things on the menu but I’ve never tried them, because once you’ve tried the pupusas and tacos it’s hard to order anything else.“

“To all the pasta and seafood lovers out there, don’t miss out on the Linguine Con Mariscos . Such an amazingly delicious dish , everything was fresh and cooked to perfection, the linguine the sauce the muscles the clams and the shrimp. 10 /10 well done .“

“great food. Quick friendly service.“

“buen servicio buena comida“

“Everything is delicious! Drinks are very refreshing! Definitely recommend this place! They have carry out also which is a plus!“

“IF YOU ARE A FAN OF DELICIOUS FLAVOR, GO HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!Angel's Restaurant is a very unsuspecting place, so go in knowing that there's not much to look at while you eat. BUT!!! The food MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THAT!! I went in craving tacos and I wasn't disappointed at all! They have "putacos" which is a glorious marriage of a pupusa and a taco, and they are heavenly!!!! I also ordered their chicken tacos and I was in love with them too!! Our waitress was also very nice and kindly explained the menu to us, which helped a lot! I can't wait to go back!!“

“First time here service was great server would great she would check up on us food was well season and tasty. We love eating at place that offer pichers of margarita and this place makes it just perfect.Vegetarian options: Beans , rice , salad, just a few things that I can see of the top of my headKid-friendliness: Don't have kids but there were a lot of families here when dinning.“

“*CHEF'S KISS* Cozy and utilitarian ambiance, with a cute tiny bar, very friendly and attentive service. But THE FOOD though! I just stopped in because it was near my barber and I knew that I could satisfy my "2 meal hunger" for relatively cheap. Frankly and honestly, this was the best Honduran food I've ever tasted. I don't say that lightly, I have eaten A LOT of good Salvadoran and Honduran food since I moved to the area in 2007. I've even had homemade pupusas from mothers of my students on a regular basis. I'm normally not a fan of refried beans on my Tostadas or in fajitas, but they used just the right amount, & they were damn good. For once I feel they actually contributed to the taste of the Baleada and Catracha instead of taking away. The food was so good I have finally dedicated the names of these dishes to memory. in the past they never made a big impact flavor- wise, just kind of good, simple Central American home cooking classics. Everything here was absolutely cooked to perfection and the chef knows exactly what balance of ingredients and fillings are exceptionally delicious in texture and complimentary flavors . STANDOUTS: The Catracha & the Baleada: Baleada -- roughly translated - a Honduran (person). Here the tostada is a double fried corn tortilla with refried beans, and crumbled farmers cheese. I have never had a fried corn tostada so decadently crispy-fried. I literally said " oh my gawd" when I took my first bite. The Baleada was soft and pillowy on the inside and was just the right amount of pan-crisp on the outside. The avocado, beans, cheese, egg, and crema just complemented one another, nothing overwhelmed anything else in flavor or texture. Perfect balance.“

“Started getting breakfasts here a couple weeks ago and it’s a must-do now. So good, every time. Love the cheese papusas and the beans and eggs platter. Very sweet owners and a bustling busy place full of happy families. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Very good Honduran food. Pleasant bilingual service. Above average presentation, especial considering the very casual decor. Three 4-tops (that seat three persons) and three 2-tops. 4 picnic tables outside. Order at the counter. This (Olney) is one of several locations. I had basic fare: a cheese Pupusa and Honduran deep fried tacos. They did not disappoint. I saw another fancier dish that some other customer had ordered which looked delicious. Prices are reasonable in this post-Covid, high interest time.“

“The best Tacos I ever tasted in the area; prices are very reasonable, living over 30 years in DC the flavor and service they deliver are excellent. I'm Peruvian but I can tell you this is a unique place for Mexican and Central American plates. ??????Vegetarian options: You can select yourself your choices.“

“Local and authentic Pupusería. $6 for 2. Fresh and made to order, lots of options but I went with just bean and cheese and cheese. Service was friendly and fast. The restaurant is small on the inside but there's a pretty large outdoor covered patio. Definitely recommend and would be interested in their other offerings.“
