These pupusas were so hot and cheesy! I ordered the three pupusa pack which came with a free pupusa of my choice. I went for the espinaca, jalapeño crema, soy chorizo and cheese, and loroco and cheese. All were so great, but the espinaca and jalapeño were my favorite. The ordered an extra side of the Curtido, and was given several extra sides which was awesome. I found both this traditional and spicy both good. The tamale de elote was my favorite. The corn flavor profile was so present and topped with the crema, it was chefs kiss. The tamarindo drink wasn't too sweet, a slight bit sour but it was very mild. It was interesting but tasty. I would absolutely order everything again, it was so good! There was quite a bit so it lasted for a few meals. I wish the red sauce had a bit more of a kick, it really didn't have a much of a presence to it. Overall, I definitely recommend! read more

Another 5 star review!!!! Kiosk ordering and text when ready pick up (this did take quite some time but was worth it!) We got the chicharrones, the jalapeño and cheese papusa, & chorizo papusa. The papusas were great but the chicharrones were the star of the show can not recommend these enough. And all the sauces are amazing - the slaw that comes w the papusa chefs kiss! read more

LC Pupusas at La Cosecha - Chicharrones - Salvadoran Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place originates in the suburbs, but finding an offshoot here was welcome. My pupusas were freshly prepared and options were abundant. They have several vegan ones based on vegan cheese; I'm a tad skeptical of vegan cheeses but credit to them for offering it. My more conventional dairy with beans and loroco pupusas delivered on flavor, came with abundant fixins, and because you can pick how many you order, it makes for a customizable meal size. I struggled to find seating in this market; it's one where a lot of people camp out with laptops. read more

LC Pupusas at La Cosecha - Salvadoran Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I would have to say that these are the best pupusas in DC (although I haven't tried many other takes yet). I personally like their corn tamales in addition to the pupusas. Although their prices have increased since when I first moved here, I still think that the food can be defined as good value. The staff here is always friendly and their time estimates are always accurate when it comes to picking up the food. I never had an unpleasant experience with the staff. Lastly, since it's inside of La cosecha market, the vibes align (for a lack of better phrase) as you're also supporting other local businesses indoors. I like how this place uniquely offers a food item I've fallen in love with since I moved to DC. I definitely make repeat visits to this place, and you should too read more

Ordered take out and wanted to try a few different things. The Maryland pupusa was amazing. Lots of crab, cheese, and a little old bay seasoning. The pickled cabbage and salsa were also delicious. I could have eaten 5 of them. The spinach pupusa lacked flavor, it was my least favorite, but a good option for individuals that don't eat meat. The bean and cheese was good as well. I'll definitely be getting some more of the crab pupusas. read more

I can make a papusa, but choose not to. This place has been solid for years. Highly recommend.

Deeeeelicious!!! I had a breakfast item with eggs grilled chicken rice and bean and brilliant avocado. All ingredients are super fresh- I haven't had eggs this tasty in a long time. Sooo good read more

Pupusa Revuelta Very thin, which was thinner than I've had before from other pupusa vendors. The pork was extremely bland, like it tasted as if it wasn't seasoned at all. Just not my jam as I've had better. Maybe it was an off night? read more

This is an excellent spot for pupusas! After an underwhelming lunch at Union Market, I decided to walk over and try something at La Cosecha. I noticed the pupusas being offered and couldn't resist. Wow, they were great! I had a Pupusa de Queso and Mixta and they were both excellent. The queso was filled with the perfect amount of cheese for very good richness and was melty goodness inside. The second pupusa was a mix of meat, beans and cheese, creating a perfect balance of savory flavors and differing textures. They arrived very hot, which confirmed their freshness. The price point is also very good since 2 - 3 will fill you up and isn't super expensive. Definitely visit this place for incredible food! read more

Their pupusas are melt-in-your-mouth good. The vegan one was so flavorful and the vegan cheese melted just right. The price was very reasonable, I just wish it was bigger because I didn't want to stop eating it! read more

La Casita Pupuseria is a food stand inside La Cosecha and easy to miss because it's tucked near the back along with a few other stalls. The line was long this past Friday evening, which worked out because I had a hard time choosing the pupusas I wanted to try. I ended up... never getting the pupusas. The nice server who took my order recommended the Carne Asada Callejera so I decided to go with that instead, HAHA. CARNE ASADA CALLEJERA (GRILLED STEAK) - 15.95 This came in a neatly packed in a compartmental takeout container where there were thin slices of grilled steak on a bed of seasoned white rice. For my sides, I got frijoles refrito (refried beans) and Casita salad (lettuce, tomatoes and carrots). The grilled steak was very flavorful and well salted. It was a bit tough and chewy, which was my only quip. It went so well with the seasoned rice (which is enjoyable on its own). I really liked the frijoles refrito -- definitely my favorite part of the meal! The Casita salad was nothing out of the ordinary, but served as a refreshing and cleansing side in the midst of the steak, rice, and beans. Overall, great option and pretty filling. I'd recommend. I'll get the pupusas next time... haha. read more

Itinially I was confused about where this was located and eventually realized it was inside Union Market/Cosecha. The vibes are very relaxing and laid back. They have phenomenal papusas and really good ceviche. Service is good and food comes out relatively quickly. read more

Terrible service, EXTREMELY long wait times for a single pupusa. I ordered one. It took 30 full minutes. There were 3 employees and no one else had placed an order. read more

Great place to grab delicious food to go with a drink from one of the nearby bars. The yuca and chicharrón was exactly what I was craving. And the portion you get for $10?! Hard to find in DC. The pupusas were also delicious and a great value. The staff were also very kind during our limited interaction. Having an apartment in NOMA means I'll be frequenting this spot for sure. read more

The Tamarindo Margaritas are sooo good! My favorite of this type in the DMV because it is REAL TAMARIND and it doesn't taste like they skimp on the ingredients. Most drinks taste heavily sugared with a hint of the natural ingredients. This place was the opposite. I will order whatever food, I'm in the mood for and always come back there for this drink. This drink can be made virgin also which is my preference. Watching them make the papusas is also a treat. For me, I have always had great service. Happy to support small business owners because you can feel the pride and love in the product or service. I have bought this drink for so many people and everyone loves it! If you know a place with this drink made better - let me know ! lol - I forgot to take a picture. That's how you know it's good! lol I was savoring my drink, I didn't take a pic. read more

Visited 7/30/24. Located in La Cosita marketplace, this stall had some great options and I ended up going with the steak tacos (comes with two tacos, rice, and beans). Waited for about 10-12 minutes and then the buzzer went off. The steak in the tacos was my favorite part as it was flavorful and cooked well. A bit of fat but can't complain too much. The shells themselves are more "pupusa-styled", meaning they are thicker and more dense so if you like a thinner taco this may not be for you. Due to the thickness I did find myself kind of wanting for more liquid in the taco to kind of soak it up a bit and make it less dry. Maybe like an avocado crema vs. the avocado in the taco or a different salsa in place of the pico? The shining star of this dish was the side of beans. I'm not even a huge bean person but I found myself constantly coming back for more-would definitely recommend these. I would love to try again and get pupusas in the future! Overall solid flavor and a good pick while at La Cosita. read more

Good things come to those who wait. This place always has the longest line at La Cosecha but don't let that scare you, take it as a sign from God. The 3 for $12.50 deal might be the best value in DC where normally you get a wedge of lemon for $63.25. I got spinach and cheese, chicken and cheese and pork bean and cheese. The spinach was surprisingly awesome, I couldn't get the chicken in my mouth fast enough and the pork was good. 5 stars. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious cheesy pupusas - the Pupusa Vegemixta was a fun to try and bursting with flavor! Pupusas are like mini quesadillas from El Salvador. The vegetarian pupusa was filled with black beans, loroco (type of squash), and cheese. While the ingredients are simple, the pupusa was surprisingly flavorful and very filling. It was a bummer that there are no veggies despite the Vegemixta name. The pupusa are pre-made, so you can't customize them. The extensive menu is a bit overwhelming as I was straining my neck staring up at the large menu board and spotted a small menu propped up at the ordering window. So many options! The kicker here is that service isn't very flexible and left me with a sour taste. Will check out the other locations when I'm in the area - Germantown, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring! If you're looking for a culinary experience and to try something unique - go for the pupusa at La Cosecha. read more

My favorite pupusas at La Casita Pupuseria are the classic mixta and the spinach--for the price, these can't be beat these anywhere in DC. The flavor is incredible, and I appreciate that the spice isn't super overwhelming. While you'll be waiting a hot second for your order, like other reviewers have mentioned, these pupusas are well worth the wait. In a place like La Cosecha, with other restaurants and small shops to browse, it doesn't detract at all from the pupusa experience. read more

I returned for another to go order for dinner on a Friday night. They were busy but the customer service was great and food came out fast. This time I got the Guisadito, Pupasa de Frijol y Queso, and Chorizo Asado. This place is 5/5 everything is super fresh. The Guisadito was packed with flavor. read more

My husband and I grabbed some pupusas here while out in the area doing errands. They made them fresh to order. We ordered mixtas but unfortunately it mainly tasted of beans and a little bit of cheese. I was hoping to get the chicharron flavor but didn't. The bean and cheese was good though and would get that again. I'll definitely try other types of pupusas here next time. read more

Recently came here for the soy chorizo and mushroom pupusas. Both lacked flavor although they had a lot of cheese both plant based (chorizo) and mushroom pupusas. The red sauce on the side was flavorless, like watery tomato juice. The slaw was pickled and tasted fine. While I appreciate that it was cheesy, I needed more spice, salt and pepper. Perhaps the meat dishes have better flavor. read more

Yuca con chicharron was great - yuca potatoes and light fried pork, a dash of salsa - overall I think it's a great change from my usual order of pupusa (any of those are really good in portion size and its price. read more

La Casita is a great spot! Their breakfast options are my favorite. I don't know how they make their eggs but they're some of the best eggs I've ever had. I recommend the Numero Uno and Pan de Dia. I've had almost all of their pupusas - I always try their special since its always good and the pollo is my favorite of their constant options. I've also had their bistec and pollo sandwiches, which are good but I don't love them - the flavors don't really do it for me. Finally, their horchata is great! They are very quick, and if you order online, it's always ready at or before the time they say it will be. Service is great, too! read more

I had eaten at their old town Gaithersburg location and loved their pupusas. I was pleasantly surprised to see them at a food hall in DC. I got the mixto, revueltas, and the the beans and cheese - 3 pupusas for about $10. I also got the yucca with chicharon. The pupusas did not disappoint with their savory mix of beans, cheese, and pork. The yucca's crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside paired with chicharon was deep fried heaven. Would definitely come back! read more

Best pupusas I've had. I used to actually not like pupusas at all. However, La Casita changed my mind. You could tell by tasting it was freshly handmade. The masa corn taste was fresh and heavenly. The pupusa had generous filling in it as well. I tried their Vegemixta (beans, loroco bud, and cheese) pupusa with their curtido (Salvadoran coleslaw) and salsa on the side. The curtido didn't have much flavor, but was a nice veggie accompaniment. Their salsa wasn't spicy and more on the blander side for me. The pupusa tasted great. My expectations were low, but La Casita exceeded them. I wish I ordered more than just one. The cheese was tasty along with the beans and loroco. I definitely plan on going their Montgomery County locations in the future to try more pupusas and other Salvadoran dishes. read more

Great little walk up near Union Market. Several walk up kiosks share common seating. This indoor shopping area is near Union Market. Tasty Salvadoran kiosk specializing in pupusas. The special is three of any choice. I enjoyed the pork, chicken, and bean options all with cheese. They made them right off the grill for me. However, they are best eaten slightly cooled. Would have been better with a side of rice and/or beans. They do have two entree options. Give them a try if you find yourself in the neighborhood. read more

Came here for a quick breakfast before heading to DC and got the Revuelta pupusa (3.75). It came with pork chicharron and cheese in the center, between two panfried flatbreads. It also came with a tomato sauce and pickled cabbage and carrots. I thought it was pretty good but I wish the flatbread was crispier and the tomato sauce tasted pretty much like marinara sauce, which threw me off. The pork to cheese ratio inside was pretty good though. It was great for a little snack. read more

I decided to explore this place for lunch, I ordered one carne callejera which I enjoyed for the most part although the pico de gallo did not take very fresh, I also ordered two pupusas, one loroco with cheese and one beans and cheese. I took the pupusas to go to eat at home and although I really liked them I found it very strange that the pupusas did not come with its curtido and the tomato sauce. I've never ever been served and eaten a pupusa without these two elements, they are essential in what makes a pupusa, a pupusa. read more

They are offering an expanded plant based menu and it is incredible!!! This place is set up in the La Cosecha market (a very cool food hall with many great vendors). There is s ton of indoor and outdoor seating. This is a 2022 covid surge review so we just picked it up and ate outside. We had: Beyond Meat pastelitos- little tasty pastry filled with a nicely seasoned Beyond Meat filling. Very delicious. El soyrizo pupusa- wonderful hearty corn shell with a delightful filling of their own vegan cheese and soyrizo. Nicely flavored especially when dipped in their homemade salsa! Plantain & avocado bowl- a large serving of beans and rice with plantains, avocado and fritos de tortilla.
