    Tacos  Hondurana
    Michaele M.

    I came here based on a Facebook recommendation and disappointed that I did. I got the tacos Hondurena and bean and cheese pupusas. The pupusas were flavorful but it was more dough than bean and cheese. Still, not a bad dish. The steak tacos, however: something tasted spoiled in them I don't know if it was a cheese the meat or something else but something just tasted off. Also the dish is extremely salty. I don't know if it was the meat or the accompanying sauces but my God this dish will raise your blood pressure. Service was friendly but I won't be repeating.

    Steak tacos really doughy and steak was kinda chewy. Not terrible and kinda tasty. The pupusas were pretty decent.

    The best pupusas I tried!!!!!!! Delicioso!!!! Horchata the best!!! I'm in love with El Salvador food

    Counter for order & pick up

    We've been waiting to try this place out. Love me sum Pupusas!!! I tried to order online but it was not happening so I picked up the phone and am glad I did. I was greeted by a very welcoming gentleman. He oooozed happiness and hospitality and was very engaging in conversation. I ordered some Pupusas, of course. both the Pupusa Revuelta (shredded pork, bean & cheese) and the Pupusa Ayote (zucchini & cheese) and both were delicious. The fillings were generous and I'm not sure why another reviewer said there was no cheese because ours were oooey gooey with cheese. We also got the Tamal de Pollo (chicken tamale), a side of guacamole (a little salty), Arroz con Leche (rice pudding), and Maranon (Tropical Cashew & Maranon fruit juice) & a Horchata (Morro seed drink with milk). Everything was so fresh and wonderful and the gentleman that took my order over the phone was genuinely happy to meet the person who he spoke with and was excited to give me my food! BTW - free delivery in a 4 mile radius

    Had a number of bean and cheese pupusas here when I decided to check this place out. They were made fresh - came out hot with crispy cheesy edges, just the way I like. This is a great place for an inexpensive/filling lunch. I wish they had more of a variety, maybe some more meat options. Either way, the food here was great. I'll be back for my next pupusa craving. Don't expect a fancy interior. This place is all about the food :)

    Finally got to try the pupusas here, and it didn't disappoint. I was surprised to see pancake sized pupusas for under $3, and tasted great at that. I got the loroco flower and loco which has everything. Great texture and skilleted just the right amount. The beef RES soup was also good and also included a big beef bone with a lot of meat. Interestingly enough, this dish tasted just like my mom's Cambodian oxtail and potato soup dish. I'll definitely be back to try their other stuff!

    I was looking to explore some local food options and found this place. There is a decent amount of parking. I ordered the pupusa revuelta and the pupusa loca which came out piping hot. The biggest difference between the two was supposed to be that the loca has the loroco flower and zucchini. However, I think the flavor wasn't too strong since they both generally tasted the same to me. The salsa definitely elevates the pupusa flavor and the curtitdo (fermented cabbage) was pretty good too. If I ever feel like getting pupusa again, I wouldn't mind coming back here if I'm in the area.

    Cheesy pupusa, salsa and cabbage slaw

    Guys, this place is SO good... If you're in the area and have never considered trying a pupusa, allowed me to DROP KNOWLEDGE ON FOOLS. My husband tried this place first - pupusas are one of his favorite comfort foods. I, myself, had never tried them them and - if I'm being honest - thought the word sounded slightly NSFW. :) When we picked up his order, I was legitimately moved by how friendly and outgoing the staff was, and how much pride they took in keeping their restaurant spotless. Husband *loved* the food. Tonight, I had my first order. I got a revuelta - which is like a quesadilla, except imagine the beans, cheese, and shredded chicken are baked into the dough of a thick tortilla. The result is a delicious, pull-apart cheesy morsel. Lest for a minute you think this might make your mouth dry, there is a wonderful red sauce to accompany it (it tasted like a light, smooth salsa and was such a good compliment I kept dipping entire pieces of my revuelta in it. Additionally, we got a big bag of crisp, lightly seasoned and marinated cabbage which I actually really enjoyed; it tasted like something in between a mild kimchi and sauerkraut. I also tried some of a cheesy pupusa, which and I found to be more bland in flavor, but maybe when it's piping hot and gooey, I could see how it would hit the spot. (Why does this review still sound NSFW?) Anyway, I just kept raving to my husband about how good the meal was. I definitely plan to put this in our regular take-out rotation. PLEASE take a chance on this cute little restaurant - you'll be glad you did!

The meat options were also greatly appreciated by my friends who joined me at the restaurant. Ask for the in-house spicy salsa if you like a kick of spice. The prices are very reasonable for the generous portion sizes. The service is friendly, and the food arrived in a decent amount of time even when the restaurant was busy. Definitely recommend visiting this restaurant when you're in the area.

I wasn't feeling up to the big chains and places I wanted to try seemed to close early. Luckily this place was open and I had been wanting to try it for a while. Definitely it let a hidden gem! There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

What took me aback was that it said there was parmesan cheese and it definitely was NOT. Apparently this is a traditional Guatemalen dish, like a snack. I was SOO surprised that so much came on the plate. I thought it was an appetizer, so that was surprising. The red sauce was SUPER good also. I tried it on one tostada and then another. It came out warm and the veggies cool and fresh. Like coleslaw without the mayo. Definitely would want to come back and try another dish. I was in a rush, so I ordered the first thing that popped up. The service was great & F if you're looking for authentic, this is the spot!!

    Had breakfast the other day at Tikal Bakery in Annandale. We both had the "Latino" breakfast…read more(Chorizo, plantains, refried black beans, two eggs and two thick tortillas - not pictured). The beans were a little on the salty side, but not a problem if spread on the tortilla. Also tried a pastry from their bakery counter. Some kind of layered, broken phyllo crumbs with white butter cream. It was tasty and went well with coffee. You'll need to eat with a spoon or fork and crumbs land EVERYWHERE! My wife somehow managed without dropping any flakes. We also had to try their pupusas and got the pork and cheese. One of the best pupusas we've had in the area! The masa was patted down very thin and the filling was thick and packed with pork and melted cheese. VERY HOT! Good thing we did an hour workout! My wife told me when she lived in the area, she would never go in there alone as their dine-in clientele was all male latino day workers. Aside from the waitresses, she was the only woman there. They had steady take-out business and families would just pick up and go. It's a pretty small place, so not really good to have small children there. The hipsters have not yet found the place, so they don't spend a whole lot on decor. Overall a nice hole-in-the wall place with good prices. NOTE: All the times I have come here, the service is REALLY SLOW. Expect to wait maybe 10-15 minutes to get the check on busy days. Plan your schedule accordingly.
