“I ordered a taco. It was good. I just did not like that they charge you so much for one order. For example when you order it's not two tacos like in other restaurants it's charged per one order. Most restaurants when you order tacos they give you two tacos. They also need more cooks. Other than that it is ok.“

“The best hole-in-the-wall Mexican place in Gaithersburg. However the staff plays loud music on all the TVs, loud enough they can hear it from the kitchen... but as a customer you have to sit by those TVs and the noise is unpleasant. Meals here are fantastic, they just can't last too long on account of the noise.“

We sat in the bar area to catch some college football, and our server was quick and attentive. The food was on point — flavorful, fresh, and just as good as always. Another great visit. Highly recommend“

“Best pupusas ive had here in Md. Great quality. Pupusas came out hot! And fresh. Let me say ive been to various pupuserias like in wheaton, langley park but this one in my opinion topped them off. That said i can only say that for the pupusas. The burrito were ok since they went heavy on the rice.“

“It’s seriously so bland… I haven’t had qdoba since my high school days and maybe it’s the location, but there’s absolutely no flavor in any component of my bowl. I would’ve been better off with chipotle.

UPDATE: Originally 1 star

I ordered two bowls today since their customer support gave me two free entrees which I’m thankful they made it up to me. I will say that the bowls taste better today than the last time I ordered and that the workers on the line were nice and made the pick up easy, but I still think there’s lack in flavor unfortunately.“

“Delicious food, very fresh ingredients. Our table especially loved the excellent salmon, fajitas, pupusas, guac, house-made tortillas, and the amazing chocolate cheesecake. We had plenty of leftovers of everything except the cheesecake, so we bought more cheesecake to take home.\n\nThe staff and new owner were extraordinarily kind, helpful, patient, and attentive to our table with a lot of special needs. Truly gracious. I would give them 10 stars.\n\nThe atmosphere is attractive, comfortable, and welcoming. Quiet enough for easy conversation. I like the new wooden booths with higher backs than the past ones. I love the vibrant artwork.\n\nPlenty of convenient parking, including handicapped spaces.\n\nThis was a special birthday lunch, and Acajutla made it a really great experience for all of us.“

“The tacos here are absolutely delicious!
The sides of cucumber, radish, and lime and the salsa brings just the right kick of heat.
To top it all off, their jugos naturales are a must-try—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. Big Cup!!
Definitely a spot worth coming back to for authentic flavors and freshness! Visited twice and have no regrets“
