    Free chips and salsa with a food order

    A nice neighborhood restaurant with some solid deals and quality food. Highly recommend!

    Michael Q.

    Had a flavorful meal and a great first experience at Mama Chepa. We sat at the bar, watched a game, got to know the bartender, and enjoyed our meal. Salsa was on point and had the perfect flavor/texture mix. Wings were pretty darn good. However, the pastor tacos STOLE the show. Seasoned perfectly, topped with sweet pina, and came with the perfect "dunker" sauces. Black beans were flavorful without being too salty. Yes, you can have well-seasoned Latin food with minimal salt.

    Located in a strip mall in Fort Totten is the only sit-down restaurant in the neighborhood. Walk inside and you'll see a bar in the back and several tables set up in the front. The menu is large and they have anything from tacos to loaded tater tots. For lunch, I got the birria tacos. For $15, you get three birria tacos, rice and beans. It was tasty! Service was friendly and quick!

    Great little restaurant in the eastern Petworth area. The food is made fresh, the prices are reasonable, and once they get their liquor license, I think the place will start popping! We need more authentic, down home spots in this neighborhood so I hope that people will support.

    Found this spot through Yelp and after reading all the great reviews, I decided to give it a try…read more One encouraging sign when I first walked in was that the place was pretty full, which told me I came to the right place. I ordered three chicken and cheese pupusas, and they were a great size. I was nearly full after the first two. The flavor was on point. My apologies for my photo because I was already halfway through my third pupusa before I remembered to snap a picture. I also tried the corn tamale, which my wife and I enjoyed a lot. On top of that, I ordered a steak taco, which unfortunately didn't make it into a picture either because I ate it too fast. What stood out to me was the "shell." Instead of the usual flour or corn tortilla, it uses the same masa dough as the pupusa, and I really enjoyed that difference. We finished our meal with the nuegados en miel dulce, something I had never tried before. I was glad I did because it was delicious and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food and experience were excellent. If you are like me and rely on Yelp reviews to decide where to eat, I highly recommend giving La Casita Pupuseria & Market a visit. You will be well pleased like I was.

    We've officially hit 5/5 status!…read more I wanted to see if there were any orders that weren't "OMG", but so far they've nailed it since my last one :) Wonderful people, delicious food, top quality. Come!

The only thing we didn't care for was the calamari, a bit too tough and little flavor in the breading. Drinks were good. Would go here again to try more things.

I think they adjusted their lighting a little bit -- it was quite dim, and from the outside it looked pitch black. My friend made a reservation for 10 (only 6 showed), but it was fine and I feel like I always sit at the exact same table haha. The staff were very kind and asked if the first to arrive wanted to wait for others, and yes... yes we did. Once everyone arrived we dove right in and everyone enjoyed everything. We had every type of sangria and some of the highlighted foods were the mejillones, platanos, empanadas, pancakes -- on wait, let me speak on the pancakes for a second. A few times when I previously came they weren't sweet potato. I forget what the reason was, but while they and the syrup were still fantastic, I really missed the sweet potato element. But that's back now, and all is right with the world YAY! The eggs benedicts, patatas bravas, datiles, French toast, and huevos rancheros were highlights too. I think it's new, but they have a note that indicates there will be a charge for excess leftover food. I wonder when they added that?? We did an excellent job of eating literally everything, and everyone was satisfied at the end. The staff did an excellent job of checking in on us, gave us plenty of time for last call, and were so diligent. Mind you it wasn't crowded... but listen, it needs to be. I believe even the owner came by asking how everything was, and wished us well on our way out. It's been around a long time... if you haven't been to La Malinche yet, do yourself a favor and go. They have happy hour on weekdays, but the bottomless brunch... it's $41/pp now. Higher than ever, but still the best deal around.
