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.“

“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!“

“Food is fantastic! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious Food, 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 delicious. They even had plant based pupusas which I hadn’t even heard of before lol. And they were delicious (vegan cheese and sausage). My husband had the regular cheese pupusas with spinach and said they were also perfect. We would most definitely go here again“

“buen servicio buena comida“

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

“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 had breakfast here this morning during our District 47 meeting, and it was an excellent experience! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff made sure everyone was taken care of with a smile.

The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Everything we ordered was delicious, and you can tell they take pride in both the quality of their food and the experience they provide. The owners are amazing.

If you're looking for authentic Salvadoran cuisine, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend El Viajero Restaurant. I'll definitely be back!“

“Is this the best pupuseria in Laurel? For me, YES!

I placed a take out order, I got the beans and cheese pupusas. It was a long wait but the outcome was UHMAZING! The pupusas were stuffed to the max, love that! I got a free Horchata on the house cuz of the long wait so that was nice. Everyone was very friendly!

Would come again!“

“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.“

“Un excelente comida se lo recomiendo“

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

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

“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.“

“I’ve come with my family from maryland to visit a fellow family member, we started to look online a restaurant that we could order from and came across them. I’m very satisfied with the food, the people at front were great and friendly, it truly felt welcoming. I would totally recommend this place to eat some wonderful Pupusas, ones that truly feel that they came from El Salvador. I will definitely be visiting again!“

“excellent pupusas and tacos!😋😋😋“

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

“Here one of the best salvadorian food Very friendly, food came out on time My family enjoyed the food so much Very highly recommend See you soon for the mondongo soup“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“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.“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“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“

“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🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾😋“

“sus pupusas deliciosas y excelente atención“

“delicious food and good customer service!!!“

“This taco spot is in the back of a small convenience store. It's got a homey vibe that makes you feel like you're eating in a friend's kitchen. The tacos are delicious and made with fresh ingredients, and the prices are nice (what you would expect). It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, or if you stop by the store and have a bit of an appetite for some good tacos.“

“Love their breakfast, you can customize your eggs(rancheros , sunny side up, scrambled ect) comes with plantains , cheese & rice or beans or both (casamiento). . Their pupusas are really good. Their fried chicken is also really good. Horchata is very good too! They mostly have a 15-20 min wait time for you food but that’s normal.“

“This is my favorite Silvestre (Walters lane) to go to out of the chain. The food is always delicious and I love the manager there . All the staff there are friendly and helpful. They have the best customer service. The male manager is my favorite person there . He’s been there for years and love the customers.“

“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!“

“I visited Angel’s Restaurant once and had to come back the next week! The papusa tacos are AMAZING!! 10000/10🔥🔥🔥 We got the chicken and steak papusas with horchata on the side. The food tastes like it’s made with love!❤️ My boyfriend and I played pool as we waited for our food. What a lovely local and AUTHENTIC restaurant. I love it!“

“Absolutely INCREDIBLE food. The BEST pupusa we have ever had. SO many amazing flavors! To the people who are complaining about the service in their reviews. El Salvadorans are much calmer and slower paced that hyper-demanding Americans. They are not in a rush. They take their time and produce high quality creations. Give them a chance to do that. Let them do their thing and experience how wonderful it can be. Sit back, relax, enjoy the friendly conversation and the music and the televised soccer matches. Their food is all made from scratch. Let them work the way they need to work to make something special for you. TAKE YOUR TIME and enjoy it. The food is only one part of the total experience. Absorbing yourself in a different way of being for a bit is good for you, makes you more well-rounded, and helps you to be a better person.“

“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“

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

“OMG!!!!! When I tell you that I have never tried a tastier roast chicken in the world, it is because it is true.... This place has one of the best foods with a lot of seasoning, it tastes so good and they give you good portions and the prices are fair. THANK YOU I'm going to come every day until I try the entire menu!!!!!!!! <3“
