"We’re not sure exactly when California Grill opened, but we do know for certain that it was around long before Virgil Avenue became a hotbed for trendy brunch spots and tasting menu restaurants. Surrounded by string lights and a fortress of cacti that are probably taller than you are, this corner spot is hard to miss. The casual Salvadoran place is usually full of regulars who treat it like a weeknight clubhouse. But even if it’s your first time, the woman behind the counter will treat you like she’s known you all your life. And you’ll reliably find some piping hot pupusas coming out of the open kitchen 7 days a week. Order a few pupusas revueltas the next time you’re in the mood to fill up on cheesy pork and refried beans. Make sure you get an extra bag of fresh curtido to top things off—the mild cabbage adds crunch to every bite. On weekends, you can also pick up an order of fresh Salvadoran-style quesadillas, which are cakey, baked with sweet cheese, and topped with sesame seeds." - Nikko Duren

I've been eating here for years and I love the fried bowl. It is so good that I can just buy the bowl and eat it by itself. This place is located inside the Mall at (PG) Prince George's Plaza in the food court area.

I tried Combo 2 and really like the spicy chicken. It is not overly spicy. Orange chicken was good, too, better than Chinese. Good think about Cajun Grill is they give you free one bites of each for taste. Definitely, it is my daily go-to place because the prices are pretty decent.

I don’t like the service here or the food. First I asked for a sample She says NO SAMPLES. I asked for combo # 2 she proceeds to give me combo number #1 2 sides and a tiny portion of meat. I said no I wanted two portions of meat she charges me 1.99 for 5 pieces of extra chicken no lie take a look at the photo. Don’t eat here! Eat at mandarin express they give you the correct amount of portions. The owner or whoever the lady was at Cajun is STINGY. And they asked me for a tip after. No tip you didn’t anything other then your job.

Some of the noodles I tried were burnt. The fish I tasted, there was no seasoning. The bourbon chicken I ate had delicious flavor. After coming here once bourbon chicken was the only food item that tasted really good. I won't be going back.

Their grilled carne asada and chicken is seriously delicious - you could get a full plate with pico de gallo, rice, beans and salad for 13 bucks, (which costs about as much as getting small fries and 2 mcchickens at McDonalds lol) so it's pretty cheap and yummy!

Food okay but Indian lady at register no manners, rude and very cheap lady. When you have a business you have to be nice to customers who help your business grow. Now they just lost two customers due to poor service. If you want to be treated with good service, don’t go here.
