This spot surprised me in the best way. Came in looking for a solid lunch and ended up finding one of the better Salvadoran meals I've had in the DMV. The service was on point, quick, welcoming, and they actually guided me toward something great instead of just taking the order. Went with the Plato Brian and it was the right call. Everything on the plate was flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying without feeling sloppy. The handmade tortillas really sealed it for me, there's something about that fresh, slightly imperfect texture that just hits different. Took me straight back to homemade meals. Had to try the pupusas too, cheese & pork is my go-to, and these delivered. Crispy outside, packed with flavor inside. Also, I've been searching for a good horchata around the DMV, and this one is definitely up there. Smooth, not chalky, and a little sweet (which I personally prefer). Big bonus: I grabbed food to-go for my wife, who's vegetarian, and they had legit options, not just an afterthought. She tried the spinach, loroco & cheese, and bean & cheese pupusas, plus the Salvadoran breakfast, and was impressed. This is the kind of place that does the basics really well, and that's what keeps people coming back. read more

I've been going to Angel Las Delicias for years, usually stopping by after work, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the pescado frito (fried fish). It's always crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. I usually keep it simple and get it with salad or vegetables, and it hits every time. So delicious. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, and they stay pretty busy with both dine-in and carryout orders, which is always a good sign. It is located in a sketchy part of Laurel, so just be mindful of that when you're heading over. But overall, if you're craving authentic Salvadorian food, this spot is definitely worth it. read more

12/10 - Life-Changing Birria Tacos I don't know what kind of sorcery this local restaurant is working with, but these birria tacos are next level. The kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite, stare at the taco, and whisper "where have you been all my life?" The meat? Fall-apart tender, perfectly seasoned with that deep, slow-cooked richness you only get from real dedication. The tortillas? Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and griddled in that glorious birria fat. And the consommé? Oh man -- liquid gold. Dunking each taco felt like unlocking a secret door to flavor heaven. This wasn't a meal -- it was a spiritual experience. If you haven't tried these tacos yet, cancel your plans, grab a napkin (or three), and treat yourself. Your taste buds will never be the same. read more

Angel Las Delicias Restaurant - Salvadoran Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I was in the search of breakfast but not breakfast food and was pleased to stumble upon this place located in the shopping mall off Montpelier. I didn't know they had breakfast food until I arrived but after seeing the taco choices I opted for Al pastor and carne asada. The tacos were amazing and very flavorful. Next time I go I will be trying the breakfast menu. Even for it to have been extremely early and no signs of life on the outside people knew they were open because the phone was ringing and patrons were coming in ordering. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes! Brian took great care of us from greeting us to serving us all our favorites! Comfort food is good all day here! Brian was so patient, personable, and attentive. He was definitely right, our food did not take long. I almost cried because the horchata dispenser was empty, but it's because they just made a new batch. A large size of this liquid gold last the entire meal with some to take on the road if you don't finish. We had fresh hot pupusas, sauce , and crunchy slaw first. We got 2 each of our favorites: Queso, Queso and beans, and the savory Queso and pork!!! Cheese pull was on point! So delicious! Then came giant tamales packed full of chicken in the soft steamed sweet corn pouch of perfection. I had to get my chicharones and yucca! Because it is like crunchy bacon on the outside and tender pork inside! It's magical! A splash of lime and little bit of hot sauce takes me straight to my happy place! I was full and my leftovers went home to the family to snack on. I did not realize how easy it was to reheat pupusas.... Maybe I should get more next time just to take home, because we ate those right away! Bravo team!!! Delicioso !! read more

Delicious food and friendly service. I stopped on a drive up to NYC and was rewarded with a real treat.

Okay. I was in the area and had time to kill while my son was in a tournament. We decided to have dinner there and we were SO GLAD WE DID! We live far away but now I want to find any excuse to come back to Laurel- just to come here again! Instantly the vibe got me. We were greeted promptly by (presumably) the owner. He offered us drinks right away, gave suggestions of their special, and checked on us frequently. But I noticed that each and every guest that came after us got the same excellent service (I'm very observant). The food: We started with a chicken (yes, chicken) pupusa and tamal to start. I'm a pupusa connoisseur and it was sooo good. Then we ordered their namesake plate (Plato Angel) and the Carne Asada. Wow- such generous portions and of course, tasted amazing and had that grill aroma. All chugged down with horchata. There was plenty of food leftover to take home, so it feels like each meal can feed two. I love seeing people that take such pride in their businesses and this place definitely covers all bases: great food, clean space, prompt service and excellent customer service. I can't wait to come back!!! read more

Super good food Super good service Super good ambience Family friendly Had an extra loud group no complaints from the owner Super good people read more

Had a hankering for pupusas and found this low key, hole in the wall. Los pupusas de frijoles y queso estan muy deliciosas! Walking in I could see them freshly prepared on the griddle top. If using card, you have to spend at least $10 (they let me use card on a $6 order and I only noticed after the fact so extra points for being nice). Bathroom was clean and spacious with paper towels, which I prefer! Order came out promptly. Let the pupusas rest for a little when made fresh so they don't fall apart when you eat them or grab utensils if you're trying to just dig in. Sauce was perfect accompaniment and curtido crunchy fresh. To go order has bagged sauce and curtido so bring something to cut it or be prepared to bite the bag open! read more

New spot in Laurel that has Salvadoran dishes. First time here and they have a decent menu. I wanted breakfast so I didn't really peruse the menu like I normally would. But, I'm attaching a picture so you can. I opted for the Salvadoran Huevos Breakfast. Two eggs over easy, plantains that were so sweet, that I wanted another order. Nice warm Papusas with refried beans YUM!!! Oh the pear (avocado) on my plate should be ashamed of itself for being so fresh! Ok there was a sauce that was everything for dipping my Papusa in after or before the refried beans or just by itself. There was a piece of cheese that was good, but didn't melt and I mean, I didn't really know how to eat it although it was good. I just would Have preferred it on a cracker with my American arse!!! The host/owner, was quite pleasant to each guest. Kitchen and dining area was spotless and COVID-19 protocols were in constant effect. I'll be back again. read more

This place is amazing. Stoped on our way from DC to Brooklyn and so glad we did. Food was delicious!!! it was also one of the cleanest restaurants I've been to. Highly recommend. read more

Great food, great service. Salvadorian restaurants are underrated. Let's get these people the recognition they deserve!

A little hole in the wall gem! Never would have considered this place if it weren't for the rating. Good food, simple and easy service.

Awesome family spot for a meal. It's clean, service was excellent, and most importantly the food is dynamite. The menu is big enough that everyone will find something to enjoy. The camarones rancheros were rich and spicy with plump shrimp, tasty rice, and homemade tortillas (more like unfilled pupusas) to sop up the sauce. The pupusas were delicious. Kids loved the pancakes and Philly cheesesteak. We will definitely come back here. read more

I was looking for someplace to eat and meet my date. This was the second choice since my date was from Mexico and wasn't too adventurous to try out the seafood in the first suggestion. They were quite hospitable and the food was good though the seating was kind of cramped. A definite revisit. read more

Great news local spot. My husband ordered the beef soup and it was very good and fresh. Chicken fajitas were tasty and the portion size was generous. Bean and cheese pupas were also good. Nice to see a great local business close to home. We'll definitely be back! read more

the food is so nasty i have tasted better food and the owner of the place is rude and was accusing a worker of stealing just because she was asking him to pay her. read more

This place was excellent! Las pupusas son riquisimas! Stopped by one night after work and got home to realize I left half of my order. I called and asked if they could deliver the rest of my order and without hesitation he sent someone over...he even checked up to assure we had received our food. Top notch customer service! Se los recomiendo!! read more

The horchata was maybe the best I've had. The pupusas were delicious, I had 2 queso and 1 of the ones with Salvadoran wildflower. Chicharon y yuca was very good especially the pork. The service was fast and friendly. I will be stopping by frequently when in the area. read more

Great customer service! Best pupusas in laurel, will definitely be back. Meat in carne Asada was very soft and tender. Happy I decided to give it a try with my family read more

What a find! Make sure you try this place. We travel to and from DC from Philly, and we stop here for lunch when we can because it is terrific. Don't miss the pupusas - delicious and a good value - and the rest of the menu, especially their soups, is varied and also good. I like their plantain empanada for dessert. Local, independent places like this need our support, especially when they're serving such tasty food! read more
