I honestly didn't even want to share this one. It's too good. Never overly crowded. Pleasant service and always comes out hot and fresh. Oooooh I didn't want to share... y'all support them but don't flock in there and make it hard to get in and out And be nice to the ladies. Google translate if you have to as a lot of employees primarily speak Spanish. Overall great food. Not pictured but certified to have past the taste test - seafood soup, carne asada tacos, salsa - beans steal the show every time! read more

The food is so good I really like it there I think it's quality so if you want please come eat here.

The service was really good, and my food tasted fine. The decor is very simple, which is also fine. = There were several others in the restaurant, so there's obviously a local appeal. The person I was with also liked their food, but to be honest, he likes everything put in front of him. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, which was supposed to have a side of rice and refried beans. Instead, it was a large burrito, and the rice was inside. That wasn't a big deal, but the burrito was mostly rice. There were a few vegetables in there, but not much. Though it tasted good, the lack of vegetables in a vegetable burrito was disappointing. Also, it did not come with refried beans. When I asked about it, I was provided black beans on the side. That was nice. They weren't refried, though. They tasted good. It just wasn't what's on the menu, and I had to ask for it. The other thing that caused me to lower the rating was that they don't have any diet soda at all. There also isn't any dessert at all. If they did, I didn't see it. I suspect some of the other foods attracted the other guests. I saw one guy eating fish (the entire fish was on the plate). They also have tongue, which may be something locals can't get elsewhere. read more

Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I personally had to wait 35 minutes for my food, which I was upset about, but as soon as I tasted the food all of my worries went away. They even gave me a free item for waiting so long so I'm way past that now. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

Corinto Restaurant - Chicken taco platter - Mexican Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

I kind of believe my Uncle is thee Don of finding local hole in the wall spots with dope food. So keep that in mind before you go full bourgeois all up in through here. This place is nothing to write home about, as far as the exterior, or even the interior. BUT, the food is good, plentiful and flippin cheap. So save your complaints. Seriously. Located on Marlboro Pike, the closest cross street is Forestville Road. Not easy to spot from the road, no, there isn't large signage that will help you find it. It is is a small suspect like strip mall like area. The name, Corinto is on the outside of what looks like a door covered in pictures. Once inside, tables, chairs, and a large flat screen. Also, there is a small high top area (no bar). That's it. I opened the menu and became excited, why because I saw a picture of pan, I saw a picture of sopa, and I saw pictures of what reminded me of tortas. This makes me happy because in my younger days I lived in MX. So anything that reminds me of this makes my soul smile. Anywho, the menu is plentiful from breffis entries, to soups, apps, tacos, and the like. Choices people, you got 'em! On this date Unc and I share the sopa de res, beef/chicken tacos, and the pan con pollo salvadoreno. As most Latin themed locales, fresh chips and salsa was on the table in moments. The chips were fried hard, and greasy just the way I like them. Salsa was a little less than chunky. Had a good flavor, but the tomatoes and chunkiness is a must. The sopa de res was delicious! The broth itself was full of flavor, and the soup, wowza! Talk about lots of veggies, from corn (on the cob), to zucchini, carrots and everything in between. Also, there were CHUNKS of beef that you could break with your spoon. The sammie had a delightful flavor, as the chicken was marinated right, it also had chunks of veggies too. The tacos, were just that, but it had lots of fresh toppings. The food was amazing, the servings were plentiful, and the prices was on point. If I'm in the area, I'm going back! read more

I must say this hole in the wall is not too shabby. I have driven by this strip mall a billion times and was always curious about their mexican & salvadorian food. I have a relative that lives in the area and many times after a long night on the hunt for breakfast this place has popped up as a suggestion from Yelp. We finally decided to give it a shot due to convenience. We went in to place a to go order at 10ish on a Saturday morning for breakfast. We ordered 3 meals, the Huevos Rancheros, El Casero (scrambled eggs & spanish sausage, beans and rice), and El Tipico (papusa, chicken tamale, plantain, beans, and rice). For the entire place to only have 2 small tables sat with 1 that was already eating, our 3 meals took over 30 mins. Each meal was $11.95 + tax. Beside the food taking way too long for 3 to go meals overall the food was good. read more

Nice surprise in an old strip mall. This little hole in the wall could easily be missed. The food was authentic basic Central America cuisine. The Salvadorian chicken sandwich was well seasoned, moist, tasty and tender. The restaurant is small, homey, and the service was good. The staff is bilingual and willing to help. read more

Bean and cheese papusas are the bomb!!!! Nice crispy cheesy edges, and soft insides. I'm not a fine of Curtido so I ate mine plain. My daughter loved the horchata. read more

First time coming to the establishment. Clearly it's like a cantina for people to congregate & drink. Loud corridos playing, with about 8 tables for people to sit and a small bar sitting area where you order the food. Music so loud you have yell at the counter person. I ordered 3 tacos and a nice cold Modelo: 2 carne asada and one pollo taco. The Modelo was super cold and refreshing. The tacos were too bland for my liking. It needed more sazón! So sad to say because Latinos are know for putting the right amount of seasoning to their food. Maybe the person cooking is not having a good day. Energy transmits to food. IYKYK I may not come back. I was just starving and wanted tacos. I couldn't finish the last taco, it was.... Blah. The lady with the long black hair at the counter was nice. read more

I only get shrimp or chicken quesadillas from here and it's always good. I only have one problem, I always call to order and pick up, no one speaks English, this makes things difficult if your not fluent in Spanish. If it wasn't for that reason I would have given 5 stars for my experience. read more

The worst spot around. Worse then Friday's. Came in and there was no one to greet you. Waiters was in the kitchen making pupusas. My food took 45 min. To come out I ordered my steak med. Eggs Sunnyside up. Plates name bistek ranchero. Everything was cook to charcoal. The two tacos I ask for apps came after. Asked for a manager none present. Stepped out. I asked if there going to fix another one correct she said NO. WOW. I'll never be back here. I don't recommended to anyone. Don't waste your money. They did nothing to try to get me back. Sh@t show. And the tables were dirty no one to wipe down. How is this place running, they clearly need help. 1 star because it doesn't let me do less. read more

First time visiting and food was just ok. Service was friendly & patient. Chicken pupusuas & tacos very tasty. Fajitas not enough not too seasoned. read more

I've only had the chicken taco platter to-go, but I've had it three times now. I need to explore the menu for sure. The inside is not what you would expect based on the outside. It's spacious, well it, and clean. Also, I'm always greeted nicely. The food is delicious and authentic. I'm so glad that I've found this spot that service genuine Mexican food. Served here is Salvadoran food as well. I'll make it my business to one day sit down inside to enjoy a plethora of dishes. read more

I would like to start by saying I had no idea this place was here. I wish I knew when it opened because I am starting to think I'm crazy. I have lived within waling distance of this place for a few months and am just now trying it. The food is delicious. Very fresh. I believe they make it on the spot. The plantains are sweet and have that minimal crunch that I absolutely love. I got the stewed beef and soup and both were delicious. The food was very hot and seasoned perfectly. To add to the previous point, the food is made fresh so there is a little wait. If you are in a rush, you will do well to call ahead. The customer service is good and the only reason I did not give 5 stars is because, one, they forgot to give me my rice and 2, I have only been there once. But, if you want good food for a good price, this is a great place to go. I will definitely be back. I am glad they are in the neighborhood. It's nice to have a little variety than the fast food places that are so prevalent in the area. read more

The food was authentic, delicious and freshly made. Our waitress was very nice! This is definitely worth the 5 stars. We even ordered more food to go after dining in. The yucca and chicharrón was perfectly crispy and the Pupusas were awesome. If ever in this area again we will definitely be coming back again. read more

I couldn't wait until this place opened but despite the "ok" tasting food, the customer service sucked! I went there twice, and the first time my boyfriend and I were ignored way too long so we left. I decided to give it another try and it took them forever to get our food. Again, the food tasted ok, but I'm big in good customer service if you're asking me to spend my money in your establishment. You probably won't be disappointed with the food but don't go in there expecting a A+ customer service. read more

Fresh authentic Hispanic food I love their tacos Pupusas enchiladas and Horchata that it is all so good I could become fat coming here every day everyone is very nice and I've never had any problems with my food The staff is great always friendly and their goal is to make the customer happy And boy am I super happy Try tr Platanos too mmmmm heaven Definitely a great place to eat read more

I just visited this place this past Saturday to get some tacos, well the tacos are minute compared to a lot places that I visited before, also be careful I had a carry out order I paid $15 for the six tacos and I was charged a service charge of 15% for just handing me a bag with the tacos. I didn't notice this until today that's why I'm writing this review I don't mind paying for a tip when I eat at a restaurant but not when they are doing it in a sneaky way. read more

This place has okay food but customer service is poor. I tried to place an order for pick up and they kept hanging up the phone on me. After 3 tries, I gave up. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Tucked away in a strip mall, this is my go to for breakfast and tacos cravings. Everything is cooked fresh to order. The pupusas are perfect as are the plantains. The tacos are delicious as well. I haven't had anything from here that I did not like. Quick & courteous service. read more

To slow, they don't always have everything on the menu, priced to high compared to similar cuisine around the beltway, they say they're open for breakfast and the door is always closed. Wish I could give raving reviews, maybe they'll get better over time. read more

What an unexpected delight! I was dropping off my husband at Reagan and he said "Salvadorian food" and I was all over it. It was just us and another couple so we were waited on right away and food came out quick and fresh. I will definitely check this place out again when we are in the area! read more

Every time whether im ordering a big order or small personal order of pupusas, they usually are stingy with the meat. Your going to be eating mostly tortilla. Tacos are pretty good. Staff is nice but I always give them a specific instructional that always gets forgotten by kitchen like I don't the tomato sauce on the coleslaw/salad that comes with the pupusas. The lady taking order tells the kitchen but they forget or if I ask to separate food they forget. Deal Breaker I was walking in and a cockroach was walking on the floor I walked right out read more

went with friends and overall ok. bit pricey for what came out tho

first time at this restaurant and i will definitely be back again.. very clean, delicious authentic food the tortillas were a little doughy could have been cooked a little longer... cool service.... read more

Will NEVER EVER do this again. Stood at the counter for over 8 mins while the person taking my order talked to others, walked back and forth, bust tables and chatted on her personal cell phone. When she finally took my order she kept repeating it back wrong. Fast forward to going against my better judgement and paying for this take out order.... Many people (11) came and went without ordering due to the poor service and absent staff. I placed my order at 12:45 and now at 1:20... I am inquiring about the amount of time I must continue waiting. All of a sudden it's like the cook got off her butt and started. At this point I requested a refund of the $37.90 I paid to order lunch for myself and a friend. Of course I was told she didn't know how to do that. By now, I'm almost livid and remind you... I am the ONLY person in here. If it weren't for the glowing reviews, I would have never tried this hole-in-the-wall spot in the first place. Some lady comes out to ask me to take a seat as the food will be available at any moment... I remind her that I have been waiting for 40 mins... On LUNCH in an EMPTY restaurant!!! Instead of acting out of character, I thanked them when they finally handed me my bag at 1:34 along with an apology and a free 16oz bottle of soda. When I arrived home, the food was mediocre at best. It was edible but in now way impressive or worth half the time of the wait. It is a last resort at best. read more

Not sure why the reviews are pretty low for this place. The food and service are very good! I was so happy to find out this place exists because I had previously been driving to Hyattsville to get some Latin food. This place has everything my family and I want: Mexican, Salvadorian, and even baleadas. My Mexican husband can get a torta or tacos and I can get some pupusas; everyone is happy. Gave it 5 stars given where it is and what it offers; however, if you are an avid Mexican/Salvadorian food eater (as I am), I would say it is not the best I have had but it is Good...and the people who work there are very friendly! read more

This place is nothing to drive out of the way for. The food was just okay and overpriced.
