Best papusas we've found in this part of Fairfax. Small corner place. Bathroom is pretty small, but very clean. We typically get take out.

I don't know, but my family and I love the food at that place. We've been there several times and blessings will continue to come.

No major concerns with quality of food. Place has only 3 tables and seats at most 12, not counting barstools. Glad they reopened for Sundays.

The food was too expensive, and the cashier lady was dirty. Just when I arrived to pick up the food, she was blowing her nose and that's how it happened and she paid me without washing her hands. Then she went to turn the pupusas without washing her hands and my husband also saw her. The day I put my fingers in the pot of beans and tried them, I think it's too dirty to charge me 49 dollars for 2 ribs for beef and 450 taxes. I hope the lady takes the time to look at the comments so she can correct them eventually. He wanted to charge me for a little sauce, lady, be more careful.

If you want authentic pupusas, this is the best place I have found in NoVA. Check them out!

Excellent pupusas! But only if you like them generously filled with good quality ingredients and fried to perfection haha. Love this place and been to many many others. Simple atmosphere but don’t let that dissuade you. Super friendly staff. This is my go to and should be yours!

The restaurant may be small, but it has a cozy, homey atmosphere. The customer service is excellent. The pupusas are not only big but also incredibly delicious. I ordered the 'Locas' variety, which combines meat, beans, and cheese, and they were absolutely scrumptious. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming family-owned restaurant.

The server and the cook was really nice and attentive. We sat at the bar. We could see them cook. The food was good. We had a hard time communicating because they could not speak English at all. My husband enjoyed the food. Kinda overpriced considering the dining area cleanliness and food quality was not good.

Small, friendly restaurant with good Salvadoran food. Good for dining with a friend, not enough space for more than a small group if eating in.

Wow, this place is a true gem! This is authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The pupusas, rice, beans, and fried pork with yuca were fantastic. The horchata was great too with the perfect amount of sweetness. The decor is super cute with photos, napkin holders, and other items all from El Salvador. Really recommend this place if you’re looking for Central American food. The portion sizes are large too.

The food was delicious. My kids were so hungry that they dug in before I could get a pic. We had pupusa's, a chicken tamale and chips and salsa. Let's just say no crumbs we're left behind. It's a very small restaurant/ hole in the wall but offers dine in with about 3 tables.
