The food took very long to come out I excused it initially because I assumed that everything was being made fresh but the food didn’t display that. The chicken was subpar and barley seasoned the cheese was low quality and the pork was overcooked, very dry and tasteless. They would have to pay me to come back here and I would still have to think about it.

Walked across the street to grab quick tacos while my wife was ordering momos at Royal Nepal. Got the chicharrones (great crunchiness to it) and lengua (perfectly cooked) and both were amazing. Good portion, and had great flavor. Definitely will grab more tacos from here if I'm in the area.

I order from this place through grub hub semi regularly. Today my order got cancelled TWICE both times right before the order was supposed to arrive. One of the times they claimed the store said they were out of an item. I called to find out which item and see what was going on. The woman who picked up was immediately disinterested and said "nothing we can do to help you," and just hung up the phone. Probably never ordering from here again if that's how you treat a customer that got cancelled on twice back to back in the same day. Shame on that terrible customer service!!!

cheap and delicious pupusas

Food was delicious! Totally satisfied my pupusa craving. The only reason why I only gave four stars is because I ordered two tacos, one with a thin tortilla and one with a homemade tortilla but I got two homemade tortillas. Regardless, the food was so tasty and the platanos were so sweet and delicious. If I am ever in town again, I'll be back!

The food is always amazing, it’s hard to find a good pupusa spot around the Arlington/Alexandria area. But they truly make the pupusas as if you were back at home (El Salvador).Parking: The parking is a bit tight and hard to find
