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“

“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!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I can't wait to return here! They have four (new?) vegan options! The Soyrizo Pupusa (about $5) was melty and gooey and amazing! Wow! The Plantain and Avacado Bowl is perfect for dinner or a hungry person's lunch (about $11). I would order the Enchiladas to split as an appetizer (about $8.50) or order it for a kid, as it is on the small size, but it's amazingly tasty! The Empanada de Platano is out of this world! It's sweet and has a lightly spiced flavor and just so warm and soft inside! (About $5).“

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

“Un excelente comida se lo recomiendo“

“Primera vez comiendo en esta pupuseria muy satisfecha del sabor de las pupusas me encantaron“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“buen servicio buena comida“

“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.“

“Great pupusas! I love the vegan ones“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“sus pupusas deliciosas y excelente atención“

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

“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!“

“Super warm and welcoming place! All the staff was so sweet and nice. Food was amazing and delicious, and not super pricy. Definitely recommend for either a quick bite or a sit down meal. Get the passion fruit juice! They also speak both Spanish and English, so it's very easy to communicate. :)“

“(Translated by Google) Very yummy ? everything we ordered there is a new manager and this time we went again everything came out on time very well cooked and they serve you very kindly(Original)Muy rico ? todo lo q ordenamos hay una nueva encargada y esta ves q fuimos de nuevo todo salio a tiempo muy bien cocinado y los atienden muy amables“

“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“

“excellent aptitude ,,,,%%$$$$$$$$$$$$=“

“It’s real shame some people have had bad experiences. My fiancé and I always have the best food from here. They’re usually ok. The owner is a little serious but he’s chill. I am sorry to hear other people had a bad experience. I hope it gets better!“

“Great spot for affordable, authentic Latin food. I loved all the veggies and peppers on the tacos I ordered, and the frijoles refritos were SO flavorful. I got 5 tacos with rice and beans for myself and one other person, and we had a ton leftover. And it was only $22! I’d love to go back and try some of the sopas. I got my order for takeaway, but there’s a few tables inside as well. Will definitely be returning to this local, family spot :)“

“Don't let the looks, keep you from enjoying this gem. Friendly staff. We had cheese papusas, beef tacos, pork and cheese papusa and grilled shrimp plate. The 6 large shrimp were perfectly cooked and the rice and refried beans delicious We were there at 6:30 Quiet and not crowded Go!!!“

“delicious food and good customer service!!!“
