Salvadoran Restaurants near Wheaton, MD

“Pandering and loitering are prevalent here, and needs to be handled by the management immediately, as it is highly inappropriate. Customers should be able to enjoy their meals without being approached or bothered. On three separate visits to this restaurant, I was approached by either a child or a mother seeking something. This is a business, and such behavior should not be tolerated by the staff. Proper training is needed to prevent this from happening, as it creates an uncomfortable dining environment.

That said, the food is outstanding. If you can overlook the slightly rundown ceiling and the issues with pandering and loitering, you’ll likely enjoy the experience. The music is played at a reasonable volume, though it’s surprising they haven’t invested in a streaming service and claimed it as an operating expense to prevent constant advertisements.

In short, the food is excellent, but the atmosphere leaves much to be desired.

Kid-friendliness: High kid-friendliness.

Wheelchair accessibility: Almost none.“

“Really enjoyed ! love the Papusas 😃“

“I can’t recommend this place enough, great local spot! I came here and had the best Pupusas I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and incredibly satisfying. They were so good, I’m still thinking about them!

The spicy margaritas were another highlight—balanced heat with a great kick, and the pitchers are such a good deal! Perfect for sharing with friends.

I also tried the burrito, and it was fantastic. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and bursting with flavor.“

“I order three chicken tacos and a chicken pupusa and my son ordered the chicken strips. The food here was good, though the chicken on the tacos was a bit overcooked. I started not to buy anything because the last Mexican restaurant I went to had rave reviews but the food was disgusting. My son’s barber is around the corner from this restaurant, so I’ll definitely be back.“

“Bad service. I waited over 30 minutes for the cashier to treat me poorly. I never received my food and ended up being treated poorly. It was Saturday, April 14, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. The cashier was a woman. I hope she changes her treatment of customers.“

“Okay, let me tell you about Gloria's Restaurant! I had the Chicken Quesadilla and Horchata, and seriously, it was amazing. Like, every bite was just right. I know it's a little pricier, but trust me, you won't regret it. The service was super fast, and everyone was so nice. If you want a delicious Hispanic meal in DC, go to Gloria's!

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.“

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.“

“La Casita is one of my favorite go-to spots. The space is cute with a cozy theme, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. I usually dine in because the atmosphere adds so much to the experience. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, and their shrimp dishes are especially well done. Everything feels made with care, and the service makes you want to come back.“

“Amazing pupusas!“

“Really really really good good. Got an incredible steak lunch for $24. Barely could eat half of it lol. So it’ll make a great second meal as leftovers. The server was very attentive and kind. It also looks look it’d be a fun place at night! Pan-American with heavy Salvadoran influence. I highly recommend!“

“Fantastic food, no-frills spot and reasonable prices.The pupusa revuelta and pupusa de frijol were both generously stuffed and absolutely delicious. I loved the equally generous portion of cabbage slaw with it, which was nice and tangy, perfectly cutting through the rich and cheesy pupusa.Be prepared to speak some Spanish (as with many spots in this neighbourhood).Will definitely be back on the next rainy day for another pick-me-up.“

“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.“

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

“The best Tacos I ever tasted in the area; prices are very reasonable, living over 30 years in DC the flavor and service they deliver are excellent. I'm Peruvian but I can tell you this is a unique place for Mexican and Central American plates. ??????

Vegetarian options: You can select yourself your choices.“

“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🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾😋“

“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!“

“Great pupusas! I love the vegan ones“

“Señora Noemy, quería darle las Gracias por hacer la orden para el cumpleaños de mi hijo. Usted se mando con la comida. Mi orden de fajitas de pollo y carne, arroz, ensalada, tortillas, pupusas de queso y pupusas revueltas fueron todo un éxito. Yo y los invitados quedamos muy satisfechos. Usted sabe que siempre seré una cliente fiel. Se las recomiendo por el profesionalismo y comida sabrosa.“

“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 :)“

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

“The food is exquisite, the only thing missing is the service from the waitresses
And they give only one price to one. My ticket said one price and when they charged me it was another price.
I think they have to be transparent“

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

“(Translated by Google) Many of us Latinos are going to be comfortable, nice and apart from a good taste, I can really say that we give a good price and a good taste and they have you with respect and kindness.(Original)Muchos de los latinos vamos a ir por cómodo bonito y aparte un buen sabor realmente puedo decir que damos un buen precio y un buen sabor y te tienen con respeto y amabilidad“

“buen servicio buena comida“

“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!“

“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.“

“Las. Pupusas. Son deliciosas y calientitas Espero q. Siguen así con su negocio y bendiciones 🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“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.“

“LADIES NIGHT TODOS LOS JUEVES“

“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.“

“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!“

“An Absolutely Delightful Experience! ??I've been driving past the 3 Hermanos food truck several times, always tempted by the tantalizing aromas but never stopping. Yesterday, I finally gave in to the craving and boy, am I glad I did!I ordered a shrimp taco bowl and a beef burrito, and the lovely lady in the truck was incredibly pleasant. She took my order with a smile and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I received my food, it looked absolutely mouth-watering, and the taste did not disappoint!Both the burrito and the shrimp taco bowl were incredibly well-balanced and full of flavor. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the seasoning on the beef was simply divine. We really had an awesome experience, and we'll definitely be visiting 3 Hermanos more frequently now.One thing to note about the burrito – the white sauce was delicious, but be careful .... Overall, I highly recommend 3 Hermanos for an authentic and delicious Mexican food experience. The friendly service and incredible flavors make it a must-try for anyone in the area!

Parking: It is in Sunoco Gas station“
