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“

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.

“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.“

“I was looking for some quick to go on the road, they packed up multiple orders, made in 15 minutes or less, and I was able to get back on the road. Thank you so much and everything was delicious, with generous portions of the fajitas and sides! The chorizo scramble was very good as well.“

“Son las mejores pupusas que e comido 😋“

“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.“

“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 😋❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“Love ❤️ the food and good service“

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

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

“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.“

“Los Tios Grill is always consistent — the food tastes amazing every single time. The staff is super friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Plus, there’s plenty of parking right behind the building, so it’s easy to get in and out. It is also within walking distance from many apartments and hotels. They have a covered patio as well for outdoor seating. Definitely one of my go‑to spots in Arlington! 🌮“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“The ladies are very to the point and not interested in small talk. I got all types of pupusas and they were great. The location is clean, it was packed and everyone seemed happy with the food. The servers were great and nice. Def the spot for pupusas, I'll be back to try their other dishes.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“Es un lugar espectacular! La dueña es un amor! Tengo 15 años de visitarlos y el servicio es excepcional!“

“BEST SALVADOREAN RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN AT!

The food was great, I'm originally from El Salvador and I can guarantee that this is the closest match when it comes to flavor and environment.

Yaneth was our server for me and my family, she is doing a great job, super kind and helpful, and I hope I can come back and enjoy this food one more time.
Pupusas are great, nuegados, yuca con chicharrón as well, and prices are not crazy high at all.

If you are around Northern Virginia.
You MUST come and try this amazing place!
My Favorite Salvadorean spot from now on! 🇸🇻❤️“

“Best wedges on the planet“

“I enjoyed dining at this pupuseria. It was the first time I had been back since it was called the Magic Skillet years ago. Luckily, the restaurant still has all of breakfast menu items from back in the day Plus some classic Latin dishes. My friend ordered the traditional southwest omelet. I ordered a chicken pupusa, a tamal and a taco Al pastor. The pupusa was a 5/5. It was amazing! The tamal and taco were good, 4/5. My friend loved his menu choice. Prices are very fair as well. We’ll definitely be back.“
