Salvadoran Restaurants near Springfield, VA

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

“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“

“I recently visited Emily's Snow Cones & Fruit located at 7708 Backlick Rd in Springfield, VA and had a fantastic experience!

They had an extensive menu that catered to all tastes and preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors like cherry and blue raspberry or prefer more exotic options like mango or cotton candy, there is something for everyone here.The quality of the snow cones was exceptional. They were perfectly shaved, resulting in a fluffy and refreshing treat that was incredibly satisfying on a hot summer day. Each cone was generously topped with a flavorful syrup that added just the right amount of sweetness.What made my visit even more enjoyable was the beautiful outdoor seating area. It was clean, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable space to sit and enjoy my snow cone. The colorful umbrellas and vibrant decor added a fun and lively atmosphere to the overall experience.Lastly, I cannot praise the staff enough for their exceptional customer service. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was pleasant. The staff members were eager to offer recommendations based on my flavor preferences and made sure that I had everything I needed.Overall, my visit to Emily's Snow Cones & Fruit was outstanding.

“The girl who served my son and me was very kind, she gave us a smile. Thank you for being so courteous. I stopped going to the restaurant 3 years ago because the service was terrible, it was better service to the drunk customer than to the diners ?the food arrived almost cold at the table.“

“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.“

“The BEST Mexican food truck in the area! It is super authentic and always fresh. The food is amazing but in particular they’re made to order tamales. You have to contact the owners wife and get a minimum of 12 either chicken, pork, or rajas but trust me it’s worth it!“

“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.“

“Love ❤️ the food and good service“

“Absolutely LOVE this place!!! The restaurant itself is really cute. The owners are very friendly and helpful. My favorite part about the pupusas are that they are filled with flavor and it's not to much dough/bread carbs. Delicious 😋❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Try the beef nachos (nachos con carne), they're Fantastic! Seriously, the best I've ever had anywhere. I literally come back just to get nachos here whenever we're in VA. Cozy little bar area with a good size dining area, and a couple of billiard tables. Highly recommend, will return.“

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

“Wilber ( both the waiter and the manager) are amazing! I love coming here with my wife and friends. They’re super accommodating and take the time to talk to me and my friends and make me feel part of their family. This location is absolutely amazing. I’ve gone to other and none of them compare to this one. Recommend 20/10“

“OMG absolutely love Ashley's pastelitos insanely good great food great service not really an atmosphere it's a food truck so no tables or anything which is a ok with me to get those delicious pastelitos ? went to the food truck off Rt 123 in Woodbridge most definitely check it out for authentic freshly made food ♥️ their food“

“Great food, great people, great place. The tamal de elote and pupusas revueltas can't be beat. El Tipico is the perfect dish, everyone in the family loves it, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is delicious.“

“La sopa de mariscos está muy rica La atención es excelente y familiar los recomiendo al 100%“

“porque tiene buena comida y muy buena atención al cliente se los recomiendo 👍“

“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!“

“Good tacos and great pupusas (fresh, fast, handmade when you order) at this hispanic bar & grill. No crowd at noon on a Saturday when we visited. Waitress says they're busiest around 10pm on Fri & Sat nights for music, dancing & karaoke. We'll go back!“

“Hands down best pupusas in the DMV area! I’ve always had a hard time finding a place that offers pupusas made out of rice flour but this place does and they make the best pupusas at a very reasonable price. I have tried other items too and I’m never disappointed. The staff has great customer service and is super friendly.

Kid-friendliness: They don’t have a variety of drinks for the kids only apple juice.“

“Churrasco chapín Típico mi Tierra Carne asada y pupusas todo es Delicioso en Nuestra casa Mi Tierra“

“Best Latin American food that I have ever had. It's near where I live. I will be back as a routine customer. I went to another restaurant nearby that sells Mexican food. The restaurant had a higher rating but the food was worse and much more expensive. I almost didn't come to Pupuseria because of the rating. My theory is that many people haven't put up positive reviews for their good experiences. Glad that I tried and I hope you do. If you do enjoy it like I did, I hope that you put up a review too. They deserve more than a 4 star rating. It's really good.“

“It's spot on El Salvadoran food and affordable. Grab a pupusa, you won't regret it.“

“I Love the place the attention the favor of the food they Cook it right in front of you and it's fresh...the girls are really nice...pleasant place to eat have fun and relax with the familyI love the place the food is delicious they cook fresh in front of you the pretty girls serve you with courtesy I recommend it for the whole family to go eat and relax thankstony and rose“

“Stopped in this morning and upon entry it felt cozy and welcoming. The young lady at the counter greeted me right away and was very knowledgeable on the menu. I ended up grabbing baleadas for my family of four. The options were with or without meat, meat options were steak, chicken, and chorizo. We did 2 chicken and 2 steak and everything was seasoned to perfection, just enough beans, meat, crema, and avocado. I got a little in every bite. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly, we'll be back again!“

“Best Margaritas!! Great place to hang out and converse with folks at the bar. By far the most inviting atmosphere I’ve seen in a while in the area.“

“MUY CÓMODO Y EXELENTE ATENCION CON SU BUENA ATENCION Y MUY RICA SU COMIDA DE MAR Y TIERRA ME ENCANTA“

“The pupusas here are the best in NOVA! I have tried just about all restaurants serving pupusas in the area and Xela does not disappoint. They’re well sized, well priced, and the filling is delicious and authentic. I have a doctorate in pupusas, trust that these are the best!“

“The food is very delicious and is cooked when you order it and the first class service 😍“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“Best wedges on the planet“

“I forgot to take photos...I will upload photos the next time I come. There will be a next time. The Tacos Lengua and the Huevos Divorciados were amazing! I ate those tacos with no salsa the tongue was crispy and soft all at the same time!“
