After adventuring out into DC during the weekend, my partner and I wanted to grab some food close…read moreto the metro stops in Falls Church or Fairfax. 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.

The food is fresh and has so much flavor. Can't wait to go back!

I found Sofia's and honestly it hits the spot like a baseball hits for home-run. As soon as you enter this place you feel so welcomed. This is one of those spots where it feels more like home than anything. Your order is ready even before you know it. Now let's get to the pupusas. I got the chicken cheese pupusas. These are crispy on outside, cheesy and warm on the inside. Right after the first bite you can tell that these are made of love. The amount of sauce and cabbage you get is more than required so that is always a plus. I have also tried a burrito from this place and that was equally delicious. I highly recommend this place to all. 5/5 because why not?

Posted on 6/15/23 On…read more5/8/23 & 5/30/23 I stopped by this restaurant. Before these dates it has been a while since we have been here. This past few months have been hectic. Still, we all have to eat at some point. So when dinner rolled around on these two dates, I wanted something for Bunny and I. The Pupusa Mana is a quiet place, but can become crowed with 9 tables for 4 people and one table for 2. The bar I believe holds 8 more people. If you are into karaoke, It looks like this place can accommodate you and your party or parties. Speaking in the native language is preferred, but if you don't speak a word of Spanish, someone can speak in English to you. I like the cheese pupusas and my wife likes the Queso con loroco. Loroco is also known as Fernaldia pandurata. This food is popular in El Salvador and Guatemala; as well, as other places. I have had the loroco pupusas and it is good...no, great. Yet, I don't wish to over do it on a great thing. Anyhow, I will be sure to visit this place again. I know I didn't screw up ordering the Queso con loroco in Spanish second time around. I will definitely be back.

Apparently this is a late night (for us middle age folk) hotspot, we got here around 9pm on a…read moreSaturday and they were packed out, we got the last table. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, a meat pie and a side of refried beans; hubby got two pupusas - bean/cheese and pork/bean. We also got refrescas, I got the melon/pina and he got tamarindo. The melon one was delish, mostly canteloupe flavor. The tamarindo was a little tart for me but still good. Important to know (and I did) but enchiladas at a Salvadoran place are not the same as Mexican or Tex-Mex enchiladas; they're what Mexican cuisines would call tostadas. Chicken, cabbage, cheese, a tomato slice, and a slice of hard boiled egg on a deep fried corn tortilla. These were delicious and the favorite part of my meal. I was worried that pickled cabbage would over power the other flavors but it didn't. They were great. The refried beans were so-so, I probably would skip them next time and the side portion is tiny. The meat pie was great though, I would get that again too. I had a bite of one of my husband's pupusas and it was good but I liked my enchiladas better. The prices here are extremely inexpensive. Our whole dinner was like $20 plus tax/tip I think. That's almost unheard of. The main issue is that they brought my food out very fast and then another 20 minutes til my husband got his. They could work a bit on timing orders a bit better. I shared, fear not, but orders should come out together. It's not a huge deal but an area for improvement.
