An Eater Editor’s Favorite Pupusas Around D.C. | Eater DC

"A tiny, colorful Columbia Heights pupuseria whose pupusas arrive blazing hot and striking a near-perfect balance: well-seasoned filling that runs the length of the dough, a noticeable but not dominant masa flavor, compact discs with smoky char spots, and plenty of cheese that oozes without greasiness. The salsa is solid and reliable, while the curtido is a standout—piquant, thinly sliced, and boldly flavorful." - Missy Frederick

The best pupusas in town. The dough has just the right amount of crisp, the cheese is nice and gooey, and the curtido is perfect. The atmosphere is great too, it's a casual, neighborhood place where it's impossible not to relax.

Ordered two Salvadoran pupusas - one with loroco a flower / vegetable), bean, and cheese and the other one with pork. Dish came with pickled cabbage and a zesty dipping sauce - really freshly-made food and great value. Service is friendly.

Restaurant stink like a dead rat i order a salvadoran chicken sandwich and I asked do they excalty make it the salvadoran way and they told me yes. Boy did they ever lie big time. I asked the waiter if she can get a boiled egg n cucumbers and she said sure. I waited a long time for that item so I could put it on the sandwich that the topping it didn't have. I ended up leaving and just paying for my drink not worth coming here waste money

Disappointing experience. Yuca wasn't very flavorful. Staff wasn't very friendly. Got charged for my meal and drink, but also something else, no idea what. Forced tip maybe? Smell of the restaurant was not good.

I love this place so much! Been going here with my college friends for almost 10 years. Everyone is so friendly, the vibe is very chill, and the pupusas hit the spot every time! My go to order is 2 revueltos, 1 frijol y queso and a tamarind jarrito.

I went to this place today with two other people for lunch, and I honestly don’t know how anyone could say anything good about it. The food was overpriced, bland, and completely tasteless. It felt like a total waste of money. If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would.

Small portions for price, service was bad, asked for kids menu quesadilla and when it was time to pay they charged for the adult quesadilla $15 instead of $4.50 for a basic quesadilla with no sides. They wouldn't change the price even though it was their mistake. Ended up spending $60 for small amount of food. Will never go back.
