Salvadoran Restaurants near Fairfax, VA

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

“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.“

“Deliciosa Comida…! Mi Comida Favorita 🤩 Los Tacos de Teipa y de Lengua…! Deliciosa…!“

“Papusas are a definite choice and parrillada Rosita is a good selection of meats.“

“I've been here many times now and have yet to have a bad meal. Highlights include their pastel de queso, the sonso de yucca, the empanada arroz and the sopa de mani but there's so much more including delicious Saltenas and if you're really hungry their Majadito. The staff is super friendly and attentive and they are easy to find with good parking. This will definitely be one of my first stops anytime I am in this area.“

“Son las mejores pupusas que e comido 😋“

“I am a usual. I typically order for pick up when I don’t want to cook and or weekends. Mostly have a great experience and food is very inexpensive which is a plus. I do have 1 complaint, about 2 weeks ago I ordered the soap de res and I got food poisoning which was sad. I was out of commission for 2 whole days had to call out of work. Since then I haven’t ordered. I don’t want to give y’all a terrible review since this was my first terrible experience throughout the years I’ve gone but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER AGAIN. other than that food is typically great. Flan use to be phenomenal too but recently it’s been burnt a few times. Carne Asada phew it’s bomb!“

“This place should be busier! That was the largest bean and cheese pupusa I've ever had, and it's got a great ratio of bean/cheese. Affordable take out is hard to find- this is it! Also their baked goods are very nice and well made.“

“Finally think I found my new favorite pupusa in the DMV. Too bad I don't live closer, but it'd surely be worth the 45-minute drive for me.
We tried the chicharrón/queso and frijol/queso pupusas, along with the whole fried fish platter and some empanadas de platano. Everything was soo good! Also, shout out to the nicest servers - they were great.“

“Thanks to a recommendation from one of our coaches in South County, we had the delightful opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal from a local home-based eatery – In Da Kitchen! It was our first time ordering, and they didn’t disappoint - it did exceeded our expectations. We savored Curry chicken, jerk chicken, and a delightful version of Yuca con Chicharron. The owners of the establishment were exceptionally friendly and made the entire ordering and pickup process a breeze. We highly recommend everyone in Lorton and beyond to give it a try!“

“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.“

“ricas pupupusa y buenos desayunos“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“Favorite Salvadorean cuisine. My favorite meal is the "yuca con chicharrón," which is fried yucca root and pork crackling (rinds). This also includes shredded cabbage in the center as a side. I recommend reheating in an oven for better taste and texture.My second favorite meal is the chicken sandwich, which includes fries. It's about 8", has some lettuce and mayo in it. Pretty tasty. Same as above for reheating.My favorite sides are red beans or "pupusa revuelta." Pupusas are probably a transliteration of "pupus" or "pu-pu platters," which are similar to "tapas." These are bite-sized entrees or platters, but in this case, it is a fried, corn meal, pancake-like item similar to a 'tamal' in that it is corn-based, but it is flat and round and filled with either cheese, beans, or a combination of both (revuelta).Lastly, no meal comes with a drink included, but you can choose soft drinks, water, beer, coconut water, "horchata" or "jugo de marañón" (cashew juice). Horchata is the name of several kinds of beverages, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley, tigernuts, or melon seeds (in this case, it's a powdered mix). Jugo de marañon is cashew juice, a light sweet juice somewhat similar to guava juice and almond milk combined.Prices are very, very reasonable as is the quality of food. However, I cannot guarantee the best customer service. This does not deter my 5-star rating because I enjoy the food, not the people.Lastly, there is music videos or live fútbol (soccer) usually playing on about 3-4 TVs. There is a restroom for men and women, bit the women's restroom requires a key, which you obtain from the counter up front. They also sell pastries of central American style.“

“We had a delicious meal tonight - fajitas mixtas, burritos, tacos, and camarones al ajillo. Each dish was beautifully plated, perfectly prepared, and served with a smile. 4 stars all the way! We will definitely come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“So I got the Pupusas de Queso con Chicharron on Rice Flour / Masa & I added Jalapeño & Beans to them! Soooo good, soft on the inside and crispy outside! The Salsa & Curtido (Slaw) was Fresh.

The only place I could get Pastelistos de Carne, cause most are lazy and only do chicken. They were sooo freaking good. Platonos could have been fried crispier and in thinner slices but most restaurants don’t do it cause of the time it takes. The Platano Empanadas (Sweet) were pretty authentic as well. No complaints really. The Pupusas were like that tho 5/5“

“excelente atención y ambiente agradable“

“calidad le doy 5 estreyas es un comidon“

“Todo muy. Rico Las. De revuelta El caldo La yuca frita con chicharrón“
