We visited El Rancherito Restaurant for the first time today, and did take out. We ordered half a…read morechicken which came with two sides (we chose yucca, and rice and beans) and got a pork pupusa to try as well. It was plenty of food for two! The charcoal chicken was awesome and super moist. The yucca definitely came right out of the fryer and was so good. We really enjoyed the rice and beans, as well as the pork pupusa. We'd ordered it all again- we're stuffed and super happy. We can't wait until they get their alcohol license to go for dinner and drinks! Oh also- the Amarillo sauce was my favorite, and my boyfriend liked the green sauce. The pupusa also came with a spicy tomato sauce that complemented it really well.

El Rancherito's exterior belies its cozy simple dining area ambiance. The chicken is falling off the bone delicious and tender with crispy well seasoned skin. The plantains were perfectly cooked, not mushy. Black beans and rice were flavorful without being overly seasoned. Very good simply done comfort food. If I lived here, I would eat here a lot!

El Amate is tucked away into an international plaza in Hyattsville, but don't judge a restaurant by…read moreits exterior. Inside offers a huge dining room and bar, and what it lacks in décor, it balances with inexpensive, delicious, Salvadoran/Mexican food and drink. Servers were friendly and are fluent in both English and Spanish. One $5 margarita ($3.50 during happy hour) will have you tipsy for a few hours, and most likely not able to drive, so be cautious. Thin chips and a tasty salsa should help soak up some of that alcohol. The pupusas had a good char, but I've had more flavorful versions of both those and the curtido, though, to me, pupusas are one of those items that I love good or bad. My friend's sopa de gallina might be my new illness/hangover cure (she swears by it), as it was fresh, full of vegetables, and served with a delicious wild chicken thigh and homemade tortillas. I went the Mexican route, choosing my favorite--enchiladas. One beef and one chicken enchilada were huge, well-seasoned, and smothered in cheese and a rojo sauce. I could barely finish one--you could definitely share this dish. Unassuming restaurants are my favorites--it's like the hidden treasures of the foodie world.

What are great place! We ordered the whole chicken, fried rice and green beans. The chicken is…read moreabsolutely amazing. Comes out piping hot and fresh, tons of white meat and the sauces are delicious. The chicken is cooked on a wood fired rotisserie so it has a great flavor from the wood. Service is great. We sat at a table and they brought it to our table. Get extra napkins...that chicken is juicy and easier to eat with your hands.

The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

I actually stopped in for something unexpected: a steak & cheese, which isn't my usual order at a Mexican restaurant. I went with a TikTok recommendation, and I'm glad I did. From the start, the experience was welcoming--the young woman who took my order was genuinely friendly and made a great first impression. The steak & cheese itself was a pleasant surprise: well-seasoned, flavorful, and thoroughly satisfying. The restaurant itself is small and unassuming, but it offers both dine-in and takeout options, making it convenient either way. Next time, I'll definitely be back to try one of their traditional Mexican entrées. Hidden gem vibes for sure.
