Salvadoran Restaurants in Gaithersburg, MD

“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.“

“Unpretentious Salvadoran restaurant serving a variety of plates and pupasas at reasonable prices. Pollo guisado was a nicely sauced quarter chicken with rice and small salad. Pupusas are generously sized with a variety of available fillings. Served with fresh cebolla and a tasty salsa. Recommended.“

“Great pupusas! I love the vegan ones“

“A nice little shop I stumbled upon.
They offer quite the variety of foods plus a lot of beer too.

The people there were very friendly, and happy to converse with (and figure out what food to pick haha).

I ended up getting the Indian Hen Soup. A simple but warm and pleasant soup with three huge pieces of chicken on the side. The portions are very generous, do expect to leave some for tomorrow!“

“Hands the best food we had all weekend!!
We were down here for a few soccer games for my son, our hotel was across from this food truck and my wife and decided to walk over and have a look. Best decision we made all weekend the food was excellent from the Tacos to el Pollo asado!!! Also met the owner while we ate and we had a great conversation.
Highly recommend“

“I’ve been a loyal customer of Pupuseria Libertad for over a year now, and their food has always been consistently good. The cheese and beans pupusas are tasty and not too salty, and the pollo a la plancha is well-cooked and flavorful. Their service has also been reliable and friendly.

However, based on other reviews, it seems that if you don’t speak Spanish, the service might not be the same. It could be a language barrier issue, so I recommend using a translation app to help with communication. I’m sorry you might have to go through this, but if you want to try their great food, this could be the best approach.“

“I've been here three times for lunch and really liked the place. I really enjoyed the beef taquitos and the chicken enchiladas. The customer service was outstanding. Kathy was my server all three times and she's great. I'll definitely be going back again.“
