Rosita’s Restaurant - Springfield

We visited this restaurant yesterday for my father’s 79th birthday. We’re from the Northeast and were visiting DC, looking for some authentic Spanish food. After leaving the Smithsonian Aerospace Museum, we picked this place from search results.

It was fairly quiet for a Thursday around 6 PM. The ambience is nice, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The menu is extensive, offering not just Salvadoran dishes but also Honduran, Mexican, and Peruvian options—very cool. We tried the horchata, which was excellent and not too sweet.

The food was very good, with decent portion sizes, though prices seemed a little high. It did take a bit of time to arrive, but it looked freshly made. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would recommend it.

The food was good. Lots of great options to choose from. One of the meals we ordered was the birria breakfast. It was good, only thing that I didn’t enjoy was that there was too much fat in the meat that they served. Other than that, the horchata and melón & pineapple drink were tasteful! Maybe the restaurant doesn’t look pleasant from the outside but inside is nicely decorated.

Food was 10/10. We tried the pupusas, steak and chicken platter and plantains. Everything was very well seasoned. Great service and very clean and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Tried this place because of all the great reviews.
We got maybe 10 different dishes and two standouts.

The pupusas were delicious. They are house made and so are the accompiments. They have salsa flights.

Also, highly recommend the garlic parm wings. Very generous with the garlic and parm topping. Strong flavors

Great presentation overall.

Would go back for pupusas and for the garlic parm wings

Everything about my visit was absolutely perfect! We started with the fried plantains, which were to die for—especially paired with the Salvadoran sour cream. My girlfriend ordered a mix of rice pupusas, and I got the Parrillada Rosita. Every single bite was delicious. The Parrillada came with tortillas and rice, and when I say this meal was good, I mean it was SO good! I’ll definitely be coming back—everything was phenomenal.
