Salvadoran Restaurants near Arlington, VA

“Great food, great people, great place. The tamal de elote and pupusas revueltas can't be beat. El Tipico is the perfect dish, everyone in the family loves it, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is delicious.“

“First time I’ve tried Salvadoran cuisine. Based on the bartender/server’s suggestion, I ordered the carne guisada, which is stewed beef served with rice, salad, and tortillas. It was very delicious and filling. This will be one place I’d come back to whenever I travel back to the area.“

“La sopa de mariscos está muy rica La atención es excelente y familiar los recomiendo al 100%“

“Sapodillas in SE DC delivered a meal that felt like a celebration on a plate. Every dish came out vibrant and full of flavor, and the presentation had that quiet elegance that makes you pause before diving in. The service matched the food—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Samantha, the owner, was especially delightful. She moved through the dining room with an easy brightness, checking in on guests as if hosting a dinner party in her own home. Sapodillas is truly a standout in the DMV and absolutely worth the visit. Try everything but don’t miss the Oxtails and the Dulce De Leche Pancakes.“
