    The food was exactly what my soul needed and the staff are genuinely very warm and welcoming. My only complaint is I can't live in a room in the back and wake up to this delicious food every morning . The decor is very colorful and vibrant I love the Central American / Latin vibes and also very clean too . I would recommend this place to anyone !

    Vegetable burrito
    Stephanie G.

    My husband and I stopped by on a whim for lunch. It's a cute space with plenty of seating. Service was kind and timely. Parking is ample in the strip center. The chips were nice and warm, and the salsa tasted fresh. I ordered the vegetarian burrito, and it was filled with steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. ...not exactly the grilled veggies that were included in the dish description. That would have been 3 starts, but I'm going with four because the rice and beans are vegetarian. That's much appreciated! We decided we'd go back in a pinch, but it's not an overwhelming local fave.

    I had the opportunity to get my dinner in this restaurant after pick up my car from the mechanic shop close by. I was a bit skeptical after read a bad review about this restaurant, but after get in to the place and order food, I honestly tell to all please don't believe on not trusted reviews, because there are a lot of bad people out there using their capabilities to write extensive bad reviews if the owners of the restaurant don't provide them with free food and goodies, that is a disgrace. You can tell you how fake are those reviews when you see the reviewers don't have records or historical of previous reviews in other places, and they are not able to publish their photo on the profile or the food that they ordered. So, after this extensive thoughts about bad reviews, I can tell you the food that ordered in Acajutla was pretty tasty, and the server was so nice and also gave me a great recommendation by considering this was my first time visiting this restaurant. Definitely I will come back again and bring my whole family, and the last thought for you all, just follow all the reviews, good or bad, when the reviewer is trusted or have a records of doing reviews

    Tres leches

    I was in the mood for something sweet, so I decided to try the tres leches. It was really good, but I felt the whipped cream wasn't necessary. It was quite sweet, but it definitely satisfied my craving!

    Steak Fajitas,  Beef & Cheese quesadilla Mini Chimis

    Acajutla hits all the right spots. Their steak fajitas were so good: the steak was cooked perfectly and they give you a nice amount of every side piece to make three fajitas. My family got one order of fajitas, 3 empanada combos, and 2 appetizers all for around $60! Uncle Julio's could never! This place is definitely worth trying out!

    Patricia H. Gaithersburg, Maryland. My husband and I stopped by to check out this restaurant for the first time. I have been wanting to try Sopa the Res, my favorite soup. I ordered the soup and the soup they make is delicious, it's perfect, not watery soup. Very tasty with lots of vegetables and the meat is just perfect. The customer service was excellent, Denisse was our server, she was lovely and so friendly and very helpful. We appreciated the positive and welcoming attitude. She suggested a couple of appetizers to try, we tried the tamale de pollo. Wow, delicious. I highly recommend Acajutla. (5 stars). This place is very clean, and the quality of food and service is excellent. They are reasonably priced. I recommend going to check it out and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. We ended up ordering and taking home delicious chicken tacos. Thank you, Denisse, for making us feel at home.

    Wonderful experience right from the start! Our waitress was sweet and attentive the whole time. The wife ordered their Steak "El Pipil" It was a NY Strip seasoned to perfection, grilled to order. This was topped with sauteed onions and diced tomatoes accompanied by a cheese enchilada, Mexican rice and salad. I TABed it (Took a Bite or two) Boy! What a great choice! I ordered their Combination #8 One Beef Crispy Taco and a Beef Enchilada with Ice Tea. Flan to go and not to share :)

I needed to have a fast way to order and then simply go for pick up - NOT stand around waiting for the pupusas to cook. The online system worked pretty well but the menu is not that well organized. The restaurant is way bigger than I expected. It was crowded even at 2 in the afternoon so that was a good indication. But I have to admit that the floors, counters and tables were pretty dirty. That surprised me. My order was delivered to me quickly by a very nice and friendly cashier and I went back to my office. The pupusas were fresh and still steaming hot from the oven. I went with the safe chicken & cheese pupusas. The flavor was delicious! There was a little more grease than I expected but I hear that is just part of the pupusa expeience! I would definitely go back and try some of the other flavors. Do I recommend La Casita to others? Yes I do!!!

I ordered three chicken and cheese pupusas, and they were a great size. I was nearly full after the first two. The flavor was on point. My apologies for my photo because I was already halfway through my third pupusa before I remembered to snap a picture. I also tried the corn tamale, which my wife and I enjoyed a lot. On top of that, I ordered a steak taco, which unfortunately didn't make it into a picture either because I ate it too fast. What stood out to me was the "shell." Instead of the usual flour or corn tortilla, it uses the same masa dough as the pupusa, and I really enjoyed that difference. We finished our meal with the nuegados en miel dulce, something I had never tried before. I was glad I did because it was delicious and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food and experience were excellent. If you are like me and rely on Yelp reviews to decide where to eat, I highly recommend giving La Casita Pupuseria & Market a visit. You will be well pleased like I was.

The price is somewhat reasonable due to the amount of food they provide! I couldn't even finish it. In the restaurant there was no music playing, I wonder if it is always this way.
