    Huevos rancheros
    Kelly G.

    I was running late for work. But I needed some aspirin & sucrets to knock out this cold that was trying to take me down. So. I pulled into CVS. Grabbed the needed items. And then... The neon sign caught my eye. "Open"..."Bakery"..."Desayuno"... Well, old wives say you're supposed to feed a cold, right? Well, Leyla's Bakery fed me well that morning. I marched in & sat at the bar. Got my coffee right away. OMG it was strong & black. In spite of the language difficulty I was experiencing, I managed to order huevos rancheros from (maybe) the owner's 16-year-old daughter before she left for school. I am just getting into soft eggs. This was like my 3rd or 5th one. I loved thishuevos rancheros. I think I loved it so much because there was plenty of other stuff to mix into the runny yolk on the plate. Salsa, rice, beans, avocado, plus tortillas on the side. It was all delicious! It did not break my bank either. I was definitely pleased and will absolutely return. Even if I have to/Especially if I get to order from a HS'er who is willing to let me muddle thru messed up Spanish for a really long time before hitting me with the "I speak English." I'm a fan. 04/07/2012

    It is difficult to have a decent conversation with yelling to the other person due to the loud music, it's not a family restaurant

    If you want quality pupusas, pop into this spot. Park out front and walk into a colorful space with…read moretables and a small bar. The owner is from El Salvador and worked in some of D.C.'s favorite restaurants like Le Diplomat and Jose Andres' restaurants. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but start with the pupusas made from either corn or rice flour. I personally loved the mushroom and spinach ones in corn flour and the pork with rice flour. The shrimp is perfectly grilled and the pupusas come out crispy and smooth on the inside. The shrimp tacos are worth getting too. This place is so inviting and warm. Come in as a stranger and leave family.

It came with the usual cabbage and sauce/salsa I enjoyed the chicken and pork the best. Since you can't get a bite of shrimp in every bite like you can with chicken and pork, the shrimp is my least favorite. The pupusas were really good, so much so I really didn't need the sauce or cabbage. But it was nice to have of course. The food is made to order of course so it took a few minutes. The staff here is really nice and even brought my order to the front door when I went next door to grab my pizzas! I'll definitely be back for more pupusas! Buen provecho!

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!

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.
