Salvadoran Restaurants near Chantilly, VA

“Se ve delicioso todo si como se ve sabe ,pues entonces quiero probar todos los platillos ...“

“I stopped by for lunch thinking I’d just have a nice bowl of chicken soup.

A few minutes later, they brought me the soup… and two tortillas, plate of rice… and what looked like half a chicken.
Guys, are you trying to feed me for the entire week?
All this food for $15? Seriously? I’m going to explode.
And the crazy part is… everything was very good.
Be careful with this place 😂. You come in for a simple lunch and leave completely stuffed and planning your next visit.“

“A wonderful discovery for a gringo loco! The ladies working here were very helpful with a caring tone. Tasty carne asada tacos and pupusas quesos! I shall return for the great taste, good prices, and overall experience.“

“a coworker shared his lunch fron this place with me....wowza. Hectors unfortunately doesn't make pupusas...but this place has them. Yummmy. also the lemonade is hand squeezed ...delicious!“

“Perfecto los amigos Vn compte con tus amigos“

“This hidden gem! If you like El Salvadorian food, give them a try. Today was my first time of many I’m sure, friendly staff, and good food for a good price. I had the Mar y Tierra and it was yummy! I just wish I had some of the green sauce ( I didn’t know it wasn’t in my bag I do recommend them for sure!“

“Alegrias Bakery and Pupuseria doesn’t just serve comfort food—it serves real, everyday food made with care. You can taste the quality in every bite. Nothing feels rushed, and it doesn’t feel like they cut corners or cheap out on ingredients like a lot of places do. It honestly feels like food coming straight out of a home kitchen. Authentic, homemade, and made with intention.“

“It was an ok experience. I feel we've had better food and the serving wasn't that big. Our faborite item was the soup, which was very good, the other items werr mehh. We ordered the corn and waited until we finished our meal, only when we asked them then it came out, it was smothered in mayo and ketchup, I literally had to wipe the majority of it off to be able to eat it.“

“Me atrevo a decir que las pupusas son las mejores en Promesa Restaurante, la comida es auntentica y deliciosa, lo recomiendo sin dudarlo, el personal son muy amables 👌🏻“

“Sorry I do not have any photos to include, once I opened the lid to my to-go meal I was on beast mode foaming at the mouth. The spread was incredible to say the least, visuals alone. The carne asada was savory, seasoned perfectly, portioned very generously, and was a great cut of meat. Other places seem to serve gristly chewy meat but this was far far from that. 10/10. Very authentic. I will be back :) Nice staff - do not let the location throw you off. I grew up in this neighborhood and it really isn't a bad place at all. Nice community“

“Amazing food. I tried carne asada tacos and the pork and cheese pupusas.“

“Love the papusas here, they can make them with just beans 🫘 and no cheese 🧀 🚫which is good if you cant eat dairy or are vegan. Some places cant do that since they pre make the papusas. Here they must be fresh made.

Its a pretty cramped and cozy environment. The food is really good“

“I've been there over 10 times for pupusas. The staff is nice, the service is great. The food has always come out on time. The flavors are on point. The pupusas are made fresh to order and the fillings are flavorful. Great space and children always welcome“

“lovely place hand out, food and customer service is their priority. 5 stars. highly recommended!!!“

“covid-19 friendly and quality food“

“Love ❤️ eating at Tipicos Los Reyes. We live only 1 mile away. And have eaten there many times. My wife always get the Mundongo soup 🍲 and I’m in love 😍 with the pupusa dish. The food is Awesome and the waitresses are beautiful and friendly. I recommend this to everyone!“

“We went with friends last night for dinner. We were on the patio. We ordered a guacamole. It did not look fresh. Long story short we did not care for it. We asked our waitress if she could swap it out for a large cheese dip. The manager came out arguing with me and kept asking me why I didn’t like the guacamole. He wouldn’t stop asking. It was very unprofessional. He just wanted to let me know I was still going to pay for the guacamole. That’s fine but how he acted was sooooo unprofessional. We won’t be going back 🫠“

“Por que esta una Linda Mujer“

“These guys came to the St. John the Apostle Parish Picnic today and were quite pleasant folks. They had a very positive demeanor and served food that was absolutely incredible. The burrito that I ate was absolutely delicious and garnered the admiration of multiple different people. 10/10, I would eat here again. I actually almost got a burrito to go but was sad to see that they had already left for the day.“

“I stumbled upon this p-lace when I was poking around on TripAdvisor. I had never had Salvadoran food before, but ask my dad what he thought of pupusas. He said he loved them, so I thought I would give them a try. After a long day at work, I swung by and they were empty (too late for lunch and a tad early for dinner). I walked right up to the counter and got my to-go order. I got three pupusas and they were ready in ten minutes. The plain cheese one was fantastic and super gooey. The pork one was by far my favorite with a nice mix of meat and cheese. The bean one was my least favorite as it was a tad dry. The pupusas themselves were definitely hand made and were bigger than I expected. I kind of just wish I had gotten two of them as three just made me so full. But I could not stop eating...“

“They're really missing out by not implementing Uber Eats or Doordash deliveries into their system. I have a special place in my heart for their Carne Asada. It's the best Carne Asada you can get in the Sterling area.
You'll have the smoothest experience ordering in Spanish, but I'm sure English would work too. I'd really avoid eating inside since you'll most likely feel cramped with their limited seating. This general area isn't the most appealing, but the food will make the trip well worth it.“
