Salvadoran Restaurants near Herndon, VA

“The pupusas brought me straight back to El Salvador — easily the most authentic I’ve had since visiting. Every bite was incredible. My fiancé who’s new to Salvadoran food, couldn’t get enough. Major regret not ordering more! We’ll definitely be ordering more next time — and more than we think we need!“

“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 🫠“

“My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Despite living less than a mile away, this was our first visit. We'll be back. She had a pupusa frijoles, queso & chicharron, and I had the Baleada de pollo. We shared sides of rice and beans. The pupusa was the best we've had, and the rest was equally tasty. I asked about their horchata, as I've had that often in the past, but she brought me samples of all their drinks: horchata, tamarind, melon, and two others, maybe maracuya and Maradona.

Portions were large. We'll be back.“

“The baleadas are very delicious, only the customer service is a little bad, I arrived for my order that I had placed online and the lady who served me was not friendly, she just stared at me for a long time and gave me the food, she didn't say anything They need to work more on customer service, otherwise the food was good.“

“I've ordered out here several times as they are open late. The food is fantastic- Salvadoran style "Mexican." It reminds me of my favorite resteraunt growing up. Salsa is a 10/10, refried beans are a 10/10, everything else is also great.“

“Today I visited the restaurant in Doña Azucena in Herndon, they offered more variety of food, today I bought the order of meat tacos, very delicious, also excellent service for the very friendly cashier, excellent very tasty taquitos! recommendable!!“

“Perfecto los amigos Vn compte con tus amigos“

“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.“

“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.“

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