Wanted to try something different and came to this place with my family…read more The ambiance is really nice. Great place to bring someone. The menu has a lot of options to choose from. The service was great. Our waitress was helpful and very attentive. The food was amazing. We all decided on the Cuban sandwich and it did not disappoint. The only issue (minor), was the sandwich didn't come with a side. You had to order it separately. Other than that everything was fine. It appears that they are extending the restaurant to outside seating area. Good place.

I came here with friends as a suggestion and I'm happy we did! This is a family owned business and…read moreyou can definitely tell. Every customer was welcomed and greeted with open arms and smiles. The restaurant is clean and has a small bar. I loved how clean the restrooms were. Saturdays there is a happy hour option of some food items and drinks. There are often specials to try and nothing I mean nothing on the menu isn't worth trying. Thank you to Arianna and her dad for being so welcoming and kind. Both of their hibiscus margaritas were 10/10!!

A few of my friends and I checked out Mangos Grill for the first time and had a nice lunch. Each of…read moreus tried a different margarita, and they were all tasty and refreshing. 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.

This time I didn't have to split any of my pupusas, bwhaha- I savored my own beans & cheese, chicharron, cheese, & loroco, cheese & loroco, and everything- Again, everything was well-seasoned, amply cheesy, and not overly greasy- smothered w.ample curtido & salsa roja. Another fantastic dinner.

My husband…read moreis from El Salvador, and the food is authentic, the tortillas are so good, and the service is friendly. Today I finally had some tacos; I'd held back before because it's my go-to and I wanted to try other things first. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a simple yet flavorful dish; the meat is well done, and the sauces are delicious. I would say if you are not used to handmade tortillas, opt for the traditional corn tortillas, as the handmade ones are thicker, yet they soak the sauces much better; if you feel adventurous, try one, plus taco carbs don't count lol During the winter, they have added hot chocolate packets to the condiment counter.

You can tell they were made fresh. This could be part of the reason the food took a while to come out. I enjoyed the carne asada as well with the rice and beans.

This spot surprised me in the best way. Came in looking for…read morea solid lunch and ended up finding one of the better Salvadoran meals I've had in the DMV. 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.
