Nuégados (fried dumpling with a sweet sugar cane syrup).

I was craving nuégados de yuca (fried dumpling made with cassava and cheese served with a sweet sugar cane syrup). Most restaurants make them the same, but these were very good and different. Their pupusas are good too! I haven't tried the other dishes yet but will stop by again soon. The service was wonderful!

One of my favorite things about going back home is introducing my boyfriend Kyler to the places I…read moregrew up loving, and La Casita was at the very top of my list. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is lively, and you always know you're going to leave happy. I'm originally from Honduras, and one of our staple dishes... arguably THE staple dish... is the baleada. A fresh flour tortilla filled with refried beans, cheese, and crema, with the option to add extras like eggs, avocado, or different meats. I knew this had to be where Kyler experienced his very first baleada. To say it was a success would be an understatement. Kyler isn't the most adventurous eater, so getting his stamp of approval is a pretty big deal. He's officially a fan for life! We were there with my mom, and all three of us ordered some variation of a baleada along with pupusas to share. I also had to introduce Kyler to our version of horchata, which is different from the Mexican horchata he was used to. As an added bonus, we happened to visit during the World Cup, and the energy in the restaurant made the experience even more fun. Between the familiar flavors, sharing a piece of my culture with someone I love, and the consistently great food, this meal ended up being one of the highlights of our trip back to Maryland. If you've never had a baleada before, let La Casita be your introduction. You won't regret it.

La Casita has easily become one of my favorite spots in Gaithersburg. I'm so glad they opened…read moreanother location closer to me!! Everything is so affordable and flavorful. The decor is super cute and even the coasters had the logo which i thought was a cute touch. I definitely recommend trying the mixta pupusa and the carne asada, both were delicious and full of flavor. This place is always a good choice!

Needed to find a place to take some out of town friends. This was the majority choice selection. I…read moredidn't realize I pass by this restaurant about once a month. So glad we got to experience it. The moment we sat down, the server provided complimentary chips with salsa. Delicious. Some of the many items we ordered were: Guacamole - great. tacos : shrimp, carne asada and lengua. Highly recommend the lengua tacos. Tacos themselves looked and tasted handmade. Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

This is such a missed spot that deserves probably more hype than it has. I've literally passed by…read morethis restaurant for years and decided to try it for the first time this year for Carry-out with friends. I ordered their pupusas (pork and cheese) and it was definitely done right. The steak/shrimp fajitas are also a very good option. Service is quick. I think weekdays their business is a bit slower. Very casual and spacious restaurant but limited parking.

Since I'm working near La casita, I decided to give the pupusas a try and I gave it a 5 stars because I love how their pupusas are evenly made. They are so perfect! This is my second time purchasing some. I will be back and recommended to people this place.

Felt the desire for simple comfort food. Papusas seems like a reasonable call I hadn't been here in…read morea few years I went to the one in Noma a lot. The kitchen was cooking picture perfect papusas so I have to compliment them on the visuals and I was impressed. There were very few guests but the delivery and pick up business was going very well. If someone doesn't know your standard mix like does it have flour or I don't want cheese you should be able to explain it and she got frustrated and called over someone else who did a better job. First order came out after 20 minutes. Ok they were picture perfect but the flavor just wasn't present and the sauce wasn't flavorful and neither was the seasoned cabbage mix. So I thought ok I'll try something else. The first girl rang me up for the wrong order I had to go back and tell them I didn't order this I ordered that. A manager or owner came and fixed it ok then they brought it to me as a to go which since I already had a table from before you would think you would ask bring it to your table again or are you in a rush. Disappointed in the sauce and cabbage mix and the flavor profiles for three different papusa types but they were pretty to look at. Service was what it was.

I was a bit hesitant to go into the restaurant, as it looked very Spartan. You order at a counter, and I quickly found out that few people speak English here, but we communicated well enough to get our order across to the cashier. We got 2 of each of the following: Coronas; steak, chicken and pork tacos; plantains and a pupusa. First taco I ate was the pork taco... Tasty, some crispy edges, avocado sauce and some hot sauce in a double corn tortilla. Fantastic! The chicken and steak tacos were outfitted similarly, and though not as tasty as the pork, still very good. The pupusa had cheese, refried beans and pork. Yum! And the plantains were sweet and succulent - spot on. Wish they served margaritas, but the beer was cold that it worked great with the food. The totalcost of this meal for 2 was $37...I would have paid twice that for that quality and taste. Best of all, my wife said, "hey, this is a keeper! We're coming back!" BTW, though we didn't try any of the baked goods, they have what appears to be a pretty good bakery with Salvadoran cookies and sweets, plus full sized cakes. We'll try something from the bakery next time!

Update! Friggin great pupusas. I promised to come back for lunch. Great. Now I'm going to…read moreexplore the bakery and some other meals. Note: crazy parking lot. Not that it's an issue but Spanish prefered.
