Salvadoran Restaurants near Fairfax, VA

“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.“

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

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

“The best Latino food in town !!!“

“Son las mejores pupusas que e comido 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“excelente atención y ambiente agradable“

“Delicious food. Service took a while which is expected. Its more of a take out spot if you are looking for atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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 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 🫠“
