Salvadoran Restaurants near Chillum, MD

“I have been coming to this place for a few years. For my South American family's palate, the food is excellent. The problem with the place is that they can't decide if they are a restaurant or a sports bar, and they try to make the place be both. This prevents them from doing one or the other completely well. The music is loud, there are TVs showing sports, it looks dark (it looks darker from outside than it really is because of the tinted windows) and the waitresses dress provocatively even if it is for Sunday breakfast. All of this alienates to potential restaurant customers. And seeing it as a restaurant keeps potential customers away from the bar. Beyond this, the food is very good, the service is very pleasant and the prices are very reasonable--especially in relation to the quality. I will continue to come and bring my family and friends--but during the day.“

“I felt like some Dominican food specifically, chicharron de pollo (fried chicken) and tostones (fried plantains). The food was delicious and plentiful. It's in a strip mall and has an adjoining lounge which may double as a dance floor.“

“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.“

“Food is fantastic! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious Food, Great Service ♥️✊“

“My son and I visited El Golfo Restaurant last weekend. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu options. Our meals were generously sized and delicious. Live music was playing and a nice addition to the atmosphere. We would highly recommend this authentic and reasonably priced restaurant.“

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

“buen ambiente y sabrosa toda su comida“

“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!“

“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“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious. They even had plant based pupusas which I hadn’t even heard of before lol. And they were delicious (vegan cheese and sausage). My husband had the regular cheese pupusas with spinach and said they were also perfect. We would most definitely go here again“

“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 stopped in here because I was getting new tires across the street. It was the best decision ever! Service was sweet and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS. I got 2 papusas and 2 tacos and was full after 1 papusa and 1 taco. Will be coming back“

“i eat here twice a week at least, i’m hooked on the street tacos & street corn 🤩 customer service is always great as well“

“Absolutely LOVE this place!!! The restaurant itself is really cute. The owners are very friendly and helpful. My favorite part about the pupusas are that they are filled with flavor and it's not to much dough/bread carbs. Delicious 😋❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Is this the best pupuseria in Laurel? For me, YES!

I placed a take out order, I got the beans and cheese pupusas. It was a long wait but the outcome was UHMAZING! The pupusas were stuffed to the max, love that! I got a free Horchata on the house cuz of the long wait so that was nice. Everyone was very friendly!

Would come again!“

“Un excelente comida se lo recomiendo“

“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 head

Kid-friendliness: Don't have kids but there were a lot of families here when dinning.“

“buen servicio buena comida“

“Today was my first day visiting Wonder North Bethesda and the experience did not disappoint! Jayla patiently walked me through the process of ordering on the kiosk and she explained every detail regarding the different food options. She was kind, professional and transparent. I’m looking foto enjoying this new gem in my neighborhood!“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“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!“

“Great place that I stumbled on today in Hyattsville. Everything tasted homemade and fresh, from the complementary chips and salsa to the huge beef burrito (one of the lunch specials today) and fried plantains. Excellent tasting. Friendly service. I look forward to trying more dishes.“

“Delicious food and very friendly people. The manager recognizes people and is attentive. The only bad thing is that they no longer sell desserts like they used to. The soups are not that good but I recommend the pupusas and meat. It is good to eat both alone and with the family.“

“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.“

“This taco spot is in the back of a small convenience store. It's got a homey vibe that makes you feel like you're eating in a friend's kitchen. The tacos are delicious and made with fresh ingredients, and the prices are nice (what you would expect). It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, or if you stop by the store and have a bit of an appetite for some good tacos.“

“La sopa de mariscos está muy rica La atención es excelente y familiar los recomiendo al 100%“

“I purchased 2 chicken, cheese and bean pupuses and they were delish 😋 I met a man there whom told me the pupuses were the best and that I would be back...he was right heading there shortly before they close🤗 Also I don't speak Spanish but the staff understood exactly what I wanted! Wait time was minimal🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾😋“

“sus pupusas deliciosas y excelente atención“

“The food is amazing, if you want the best here is the place. Scott“

“delicious food and good customer service!!!“

“Well this place is widely known for their tacos and unbelievable pupusas. I’ve been here several times and will be back. Got the quesadilla today along with tacos and such. Always a hit. The staff is nice, patient, and there’s typically a line.“

“Some of the best pupusas I’ve ever had, the epitome of the perfect pupusa, cheesy, fluffy and delicious. Freshly made and really hot off the grill, loved the lettuce and sauce on the side as well. Highly recommend. The pina juice was good too.“

“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.“

“I stopped by this food truck and ordered a pupusa and a quesadilla. Both of these were fantastic, quickly prepared, and had me stuffed. Really great food at a very reasonable price.

I will absolutely be coming here more often to explore more of the menu. Thank you to Rosy!!“

“Como extranjero de nacionalidad Boliviana amante de la comida tengo que felicitar a Los Chorros por la calidad y deliciosa comida que me sirvieron, Fajita, sopa de mariscos y no podia faltar la mejor pupusa revuelta que he comido en el DMV. Se los recomiendo 💥💥 comida al 100% autentica Salvadoreña“

“Los Tios Grill is always consistent — the food tastes amazing every single time. The staff is super friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Plus, there’s plenty of parking right behind the building, so it’s easy to get in and out. It is also within walking distance from many apartments and hotels. They have a covered patio as well for outdoor seating. Definitely one of my go‑to spots in Arlington! 🌮“

“I recently tried this bakery and was thoroughly impressed! Everything was fresh, the staff was friendly, and the whole experience felt warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back—and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality baked goods and dishes!“

“If you fantastic food, you need to try this place. It is real authentic Salvadorean cuisine and they always do it 100%. My husband and I come here all the time. In my picture:
- Tacos De Birria (🔥 tacos)
- Sopa de Marisco (seafood soup)
- Pupusas de frijol con queso (bean and cheese)
- Melon Smoothie( frozen, all natural)
- side of Plantains, beans, and crema“

“Birra tacos and the agua fresca is super delicious.“

“I visited Angel’s Restaurant once and had to come back the next week! The papusa tacos are AMAZING!! 10000/10🔥🔥🔥 We got the chicken and steak papusas with horchata on the side. The food tastes like it’s made with love!❤️ My boyfriend and I played pool as we waited for our food. What a lovely local and AUTHENTIC restaurant. I love it!“

“Great food, great people, great place. The tamal de elote and pupusas revueltas can't be beat. El Tipico is the perfect dish, everyone in the family loves it, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is delicious.“

“Es un lugar espectacular! La dueña es un amor! Tengo 15 años de visitarlos y el servicio es excepcional!“
