Let's start with the beans... finally, real beans! Thick, creamy, flavorful, and not swimming in water like you find at so many other places. It sounds like a small detail, but trust me--it makes all the difference. The crema? Fresh, rich, and delicious. Again, not watery or runny. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients instead of cutting corners. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the plantains were sweet and caramelized just right, and every bite tasted homemade. Now... let's talk about the pupusa. I've eaten pupusas all over the DMV and in many different states, so I don't say this lightly... this is one of the best pupusas I've ever had. The masa had the perfect texture, the filling was generous, and the flavor tasted authentic from the very first bite. Here's the funny part... I took a few bites and immediately thought, "Nope... this is way too good to finish here." I asked for a to-go box because I wanted to enjoy the rest for lunch the next day. The gentleman helping us smiled and even brought me an extra bag of curtido without me asking. That small gesture made my day. And yes... that pupusa was just as incredible the next day! The restaurant itself is spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with colorful murals that make you feel like you've taken a little trip to Central America. The staff was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to make sure we enjoyed our meal. If you're anywhere near this area, do yourself a favor and stop by. And if you're an hour away like I am... it's still worth the drive. Great food has no expiration date on distance, and I can already tell you I'll gladly make the trip again just to work my way through the rest of the menu. Thank you, Delicias Dayana, for reminding me what authentic homemade food should taste like. I'll definitely be back... probably sooner than my waistline would like!

The food wasn't bad because I enjoyed the carne asada. However, the rice looked and tested like Uncle Ben's. Some of the wings didn't have a lot of meat on them. The empanadas were interesting. Essentially they used maduros and put a sweet vanilla filling. I didn't particularly like them but it's just personal preference.

We got dinner last evening from the Taqueria Los Primos food truck in Ellicott City, Maryland along…read moreRoute 40, near Mission BBQ. I got Barbacoa Tacos and my partner got a Burrito. The Barbacoa meat on my tacos was all gristle and tough unchewable chunks of fat. I would never serve this to anyone let alone charge them for it. The burrito that we got was ok, but not great. Proceed with caution here. We have gotten food from the Taqueria Los Primos restaurant in Laurel, Maryland numerous times and it is always the best ever tacos etc. This food truck was not great at all. Yelp is prompting me to discuss the ambiance - it is a food truck in a gas station parking lot so that is the ambiance. There was food refuse scattered around in the parking lot in the area of the taco truck.

My partner and I stopped in this evening. We each ordered a quarter chicken (dark), black beans and…read moregreen beans. We also ordered bottles of water ($2 for a large bottle) out of the front fridge. The food here is good. The chicken was moist and both the green beans and black beans were flavorful and had good texture. The green beans had a little onion and tomato pieces mixed in, which enhanced the dish. Both the non-spicy (red/orange) and spicy (green) sauces accompanying the chicken were good. You order at a counter and the chicken is cut and sides plated in front of you. There is a good variety of sides and many of them looked like they would be good, including the the rice and cole slaw. The place is clean and pleasant, but it's a place you come to eat - not for date night. Looks like a nice take-out business done here.

It's in a shopping center anchored by a Mexican grocery store. The restaurant itself is pretty much the same as the one near us as far as size and decor. It does have more tables. She chose a tacos birria, which she enjoyed in Odenton. She said they were just as good here. I was unable to get carnitas in Odenton, but I got a carnitas bowl here and it was good. I would have like a little more meat, and for the meat to have a little more spice. But the rest of it was fresh and it was all quite tasty. Plus it made 2 meals at home since it's such a large bowl. The service was pleasant; order at the counter and the food is brought out. It was quick and hot. Plenty of parking that's free.

The way it's set up is you look at the menu and then order at the counter. They then bring the food to you. I got three tacos and two pupusas. While waiting for my food, piping hot, beautiful entree dishes were being delivered to other tables. I need to return to try more. My food was great and my friends enjoyed theirs too. The only thing that I didn't love was that they don't have complimentary cups of water. You can either bring in your own water bottle, or pau $1.75 for one of theirs. They have other beverage options but I'm a water fan, personally.

First of all the customer service was superb! The bartender even took the time to walk next door a grab me a tres leches cake since they were out in the restaurant. I got 1 each ofbeans/cheese and pork/cheese pupusas, menudo soup, and 2 pork tamales (they were out of chicken). It came with rice, cabbage, onions, cilantro, and a variety of sauces and salsa. I was craving tamales, I'm from the south, and thought this would do the trick. It didn't, completely different. But that was my own failed wishful thinking. I love Latin American food and everything was ok to me. I could tell it was all homemade and the soup was my favorite. The tres leches was different from what I'm used to. It didn't have as much extra milk and it had peaches. It was ok but I prefer the regular way better. Would I came back? Yes and try the tacos and maybe the chicken. Plus like I said the customer service was outstanding! And next time I think I'll eat in the restaurant instead of taking it to go.

Also, I found out that they serve Pozole. This restaurant is only the second one that I have ever found that makes it. I will definitely get it on my next trip to the restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was great and the cashier was very friendly and a pleasure to speak with. Worth the price I paid. This place is definitely a keeper for me. I'll be back.

I guess they give you arepas (or maybe they ran out of tortillas) with it. I wasn't upset by the arepas. The aqua fresca was good and I also tried a chicken burrito which was good. The chicken was seasoned but not as flavorful as the carne asada. I also enjoyed their chips. It wasn't like Tostitos. I will be coming back here to try more items and I will be eating the carne asada again.

This restaurant serves bottles of Mexican Coke, bottles of water and beer on tap. The atmosphere feels like stepping into any local bar in Mexico with loud mariachi and rancho music, Mexican flags and limited English spoken. The food appeared to me to be cooked with authentic recipes and in some cases serving cuts that most Americans are not used to. This is not an American-Mex restaurant. The Guacamole was freshly made and tasty, the beans were a little runny. The fajitas were well marinated and tasted good too. The white rice was spiced and had good flavor. If you are looking for authentic Mexico this is a great little window to the South located in Ellicott City Md.
