“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 pupusas are addicting, very flavorful and always fresh. Well priced as well, so I can keep coming back without feeling guilty. Parking in front is tight, but there are a lot of spaces in the back. Love coming here to reward myself after dealing with the crowd at Costco across the street.”

“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!”

6 Pupuseria Libertad (Food Truck)

4.2 Good 49 Reviews

19304 Montgomery Village Avenue, Gaithersburg

• Take-Out

“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 called El Encanto to place an order, and from the start, the service was outstanding. The lady who answered the phone was incredibly helpful, especially since their menu offers so many options. When I arrived to pick up my order, I noticed how clean and welcoming the place was. The customer service was a perfect 10/10—everyone was lovely and attentive. I wasn’t sure what drink to choose, and the lady recommended one that turned out to be absolutely delicious. As for the food, I ordered the Pupusas Locas, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were amazing, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Overall, El Encanto lives up to its name—it’s truly enchanting. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!”
