Salvadoran Restaurants near Riverdale Park, MD

“A taqueria that is a hidden gem in this part of MD. I decided to try this spot based on the recommendation of local friend and was blown away by the quality of the food. The quality is on point and gives you that home made sensation and love. The taco portions are huge, way bigger than what you would typically expect.
This place is more of your hole in the wall kind of spot that serves amazing food. If you are feeling adventurous and want to experience some amazing Mexican food, give this place a try. Service is meh and decor is ok but the food makes up for it.“

“The pupusas are the best I’ve had in the area (I am a native El Salvadoran), they are not fried and use authentic cheese, lorocos, and Chicharrón from what I can tell.“

“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“

“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).“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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“

“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 😋❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I stopped by Pupuseria El Buen Sabor earlier this week and can honestly say that I have never been to a more transparent and authentic pupuseria in the DMV. Ileana and her crew make the pupusas right in front of you from scratch, and are friendly and conversive.

The variety of flavors and options for pupusas alone puts most other restaurants to shame, pair that with quality and you've got a winning combination.

Eat in, dine out, doesn't matter. You'll be happy either way.“

“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.“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best Spanish food around laurel and Columbia, so much to offer too!“

“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.“

“excellent pupusas and tacos!😋😋😋“

“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🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾😋“

“delicious food and good customer service!!!“

“sus pupusas deliciosas y excelente atención“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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 ,,,,%%$$$$$$$$$$$$=“

“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. :)“

“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! 🌮“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“
