I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

I tried the pollo, carnitas, and al pastor. My favorite were the Al pastor - nice char and sweetness. The tacos came with fried green onions, fresh radishes, red and green sauce. What an amazing gem! I will for sure be back!

Another fantastic dinner.

The service was on point, quick, welcoming, and they actually guided me toward something great instead of just taking the order. Went with the Plato Brian and it was the right call. Everything on the plate was flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying without feeling sloppy. The handmade tortillas really sealed it for me, there's something about that fresh, slightly imperfect texture that just hits different. Took me straight back to homemade meals. Had to try the pupusas too, cheese & pork is my go-to, and these delivered. Crispy outside, packed with flavor inside. Also, I've been searching for a good horchata around the DMV, and this one is definitely up there. Smooth, not chalky, and a little sweet (which I personally prefer). Big bonus: I grabbed food to-go for my wife, who's vegetarian, and they had legit options, not just an afterthought. She tried the spinach, loroco & cheese, and bean & cheese pupusas, plus the Salvadoran breakfast, and was impressed. This is the kind of place that does the basics really well, and that's what keeps people coming back.

It's always crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. I usually keep it simple and get it with salad or vegetables, and it hits every time. So delicious. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, and they stay pretty busy with both dine-in and carryout orders, which is always a good sign. It is located in a sketchy part of Laurel, so just be mindful of that when you're heading over. But overall, if you're craving authentic Salvadorian food, this spot is definitely worth it.

It's in a shopping center anchored by a Mexican grocery store. The restaurant itself is pretty much the same as the one near us as far as size and decor. It does have more tables. She chose a tacos birria, which she enjoyed in Odenton. She said they were just as good here. I was unable to get carnitas in Odenton, but I got a carnitas bowl here and it was good. I would have like a little more meat, and for the meat to have a little more spice. But the rest of it was fresh and it was all quite tasty. Plus it made 2 meals at home since it's such a large bowl. The service was pleasant; order at the counter and the food is brought out. It was quick and hot. Plenty of parking that's free.

Nestled in the corner of US1 Liquors' parking lot lies Taqueria el Poblanito. The people are very friendly. I've had the same gentleman take my order a number of times. He speaks English and Spanish (both of them VERY quickly), so don't worry if you don't speak Spanish. SE HABLA ESPAÑOL (para los que no entienden). I've had the pupusas and the tacos. The pupusas are delicious and greasy with good pickled cabbage to offset. The tacos are pretty good. On my last visit, I ordered thee types: carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. The carne asada was fine - good beef. The al pastor took me right back to my favorite taco place in Mérida, Mexico. This is how I knew these guys are the real deal. The carnitas were totally disappointing. Whatever cut they had was riddled with creamy white cartilage that was really chewy. They either got our order wrong and gave us something else or they used some really cheap cut (isn't shredded pork supposed to be a cheap cut already?). Sorry, El Poblanito, that cost you a star. At $2.50 a taco, it's not a terrible deal. Small corn tortillas offer an authentic taste you just can't get at most chains. Each came with a slice of avocado and loaded with chopped onions and cilantro. While the onions were juicy and a nice crunch, they were pretty overkill. They'll also include a delicious salsa verde picante if you like. They don't have a to-go menu (or even number to call), but check out my photos of their menu. If you're driving along the Jessup area and want a quick and truly authentic Mexican treat, drop by this truck!

The special Apple Cider Reposado margarita was good but we didn't taste any of the cider, just straight up tequila but it was good. You can also order margaritas in passion fruit, mango, strawberry, and hibiscus flavors. They get extra points because of the passion fruit flavor. The complimentary chips were okay, but the salsa stood out, it had an authentic/in house made flavor. For the main meals, everyone at the table was satisfied. We had an order of the shrimp and chicken fajitas, beef floutas and the salmon a la parrilla, grilled salmon topped with homemade mango salsa served with mixed green salad, rice & beans. The mango salsa was tasty but I didn't like how runny it was. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant itself looked clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. I would come back and try a few other items on the menu. The online menu is a bit different from what we had in person, I didn't see the mussels on the menu given to us in the restaurant. Happy Hour is from 3-7pm. This is a solid spot for a casual night out with friends for good margaritas, authentic touches, and a welcoming atmosphere.
