After tip, spent under $100 for steak nachos, 3 papusas, a steak burrito, chicken quesadilla, and carne guisada plate. The portions are large, the meat is well cooked, and the flavors are familiar + comforting, making the experience nostalgic. The papusas came piping hot with delicious crisp cabbage. The sour cream was the star of the show for the quesadilla. And the nachos? So simple yet absolutely mouthwatering. Service was fast and friendly. We were welcomed by a gentleman who confirmed we wanted to dine in vs take out. The music was loud, but the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Our waitress primarily spoke Spanish but she was kind and patient with me (my Spanish is rough). If you're looking for a no frills experience and a filling, quick meal, I highly recommend stopping in!

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.

Took my son to this taqueria for dinner and it did not disappoint!…read more It's a small restaurant with maybe 3-4 small tables and counter seating for 4-5. (It looks like it used to be an American diner). Everything is made to order right in front of you and it's all fresh. I had carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos with black beans and rice. You can order à la carte or as a platter - I chose the platter because I was hungry! They were delicious- especially the carnitas! All the accompaniments are authentic and super fresh. The tortillas are made on site and sooo soft and tasty. We also ordered chicken flautas which come with créma and guacamole. These were also very tasty. The restaurant seems to be run by a couple. They were prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the food so much that I forgot to take pictures first. Next time!

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!

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.

When we're in the area, we always have to have Peruvian roast chicken. I chose Pollo Granero…read morebecause it was closest. It's the best Peruvian chicken we have had. Chicken had crispy skin and was moist and delicious on the inside. The herbs, spices, and seasoning was perfect: earthy, but not overpowering with the perfect amount of salt. The sides were generous and the plantains were amazing! Perfectly caramelized and sweet as candy. Yucca fries were crispy and creamy on the inside. The woman who waited on me was very nice and she worked through our language barrier patiently. (Duo Lingo Spanish here.) The prices were reasonable and they had a huge selection of Latin American food. I did takeout, but they have a nice restaurant and bar with plentiful seating and a variety of cocktails. Latin music playing and a soccer match on the TV was a wonderful welcoming vibe. Can't wait to come back next time we're visiting and trying it out for dinner.

One bit of feedback for the restaurant (which doesn't affect my rating)- the staff was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and what wasn't.

I actually stopped in for something unexpected: a steak & cheese, which isn't my usual order at a Mexican restaurant. I went with a TikTok recommendation, and I'm glad I did. From the start, the experience was welcoming--the young woman who took my order was genuinely friendly and made a great first impression. The steak & cheese itself was a pleasant surprise: well-seasoned, flavorful, and thoroughly satisfying. The restaurant itself is small and unassuming, but it offers both dine-in and takeout options, making it convenient either way. Next time, I'll definitely be back to try one of their traditional Mexican entrées. Hidden gem vibes for sure.
