Best pupusas in Silver Spring !! Don't let the location discourage you. Hard to park but worth the challenge of getting there.

Love this place! Reasonable pricing. The employees here are very nice. Delicious nugados! :)

We first walked in around 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Wasn't too busy but still steady. My friends and I ended up sitting down and 15 minutes until a waitress came by and took our orders. Be mindful that it's nice to know Spanish but not necessary. So we ordered around 5:50 and didn't end up getting our food until 6:30. There was a table of 5 seated after us and still got their food before ours. But anyways, I ordered the chicken and cheese pupusas with a side of Kola Champagne. The drink was awesome and the pupusas were good. There was more dough than filling but it was still delicious nonetheless. It was also blazing hot inside. You could hear the A/C running but no cold air was circulating. Nice little authentic pupusa spot! Would recommend :)

This place has the best rice pupusas that I have had! Stopped by here because I was unfortunately unable to satisfy my craving for pupusa elsewhere. Service was ok, typical of a pupusa place. You walkin and sit down at your leisure, and the waitress will attend to you if she notices. Other than that this place is the best pupuseria I have found in this area. The revueltas (pork, beans, and cheese) here are unmatched!!! I had the fried plantains with 2 rice revueltas pupusas on the side, and I crushed everything even though I thought I couldn't eat anymore. I even ordered 4 to go so I can bring them to work and share them with my friends. As long as I live in this area, I will only get pupusas from here. Boss Este es el mejor lugar para las pupusas de arroz que yo he encontrado en este ciudad. Hay que probar las revueltas de aqui, son las mejores que yo he comido. Este lugar no es tan ocupado, y no va a esperar mucho tiempo por la comida. Las pupusas de otros lugares no se pueden comparar de este restaurante. Recomiendo que llama la tienda cuando uno esta en camino para que tengan las pupusas listas cuando llegue. Hasta que yo me muevo del cuidad, siempre voy a este lugar para comprar pupusas.

If I had a child I would sell them for these papusas. They are that good. What are papusas? Well if you are asking I am truly sorry you do not know yet. I am however excited for you and your taste buds. Papusas are delicious tortilla like circles filled with your choice of cheese, bean, pork, and a mixture thereof. I have had a lot of different papusas, but these take the cake. Pair your papusas with one of their Horchata drinks and sit back and relax in the throes of taste bud heaven. Horchata is a Salvadoran drink that tastes a bit like oatmeal, but better. Food this good and the price cannot be beat. I would come here everyday if I lived closer.
