I just stopped by Doña Cecy's pupeseria today for the first time, the wait was 1/2 hour for 2 pupusas revuelta, this is the worse pupusas I ever eaten, they were burnt and the inside oily and sagging, I will not ever eat here again or recommend it, food went straight in the trash. 11 dollars in the trash. read more

So...nothing but regular coke - no diet, no sprite. They advertise Pesacaditas on the scrolling pictures. Not available. Dessert choices offered were tres Leche, or bread pudding, I ordered 2 tres leches. 15 mins later I asked where it was just to be told oh we don't have tres leche. Ok i will have the bread pudding, do you want it heated? Yes. 2 mins later she brings it out.... In the same plastic clam shell. Uhm. How was that heated because its not even warm. No plans to come back read more

Stopped by on a whim to pick up food after going grocery shopping nearby. The inside is pretty spacious, with lots of tables & an open kitchen to see your pupusas being made. Service is a little confusing. I'm pretty sure you either get table service or you can walk up to the counter to order. You'll have to ask for a menu if you order takeout in person since they don't have one to look at on display. Everyone that I interacted with was nice for the most part. The pupusas were okay. I ordered an assortment of different ones (both meat & veggie) to try a little bit of everything. The pupusas were made on the thicker side, but unfortunately you taste more of the masa & cheese rather than whatever meat/veggie it's supposed to be stuffed with. I didn't mind the rich cheesiness so much, as the curtido added a light & tangy element to it that balances everything out. The tomato sauce served with it didn't really do anything for me in terms of flavor. It was just basically tomato water, except with barely any tomato flavor. The pupusas were alright. They didn't knock my socks off, but they definitely satisfied my hunger. read more

I ordered pupusas online. When I got to the restaurant they told me to wait by the door for my order. I waited for my order for nearly 45 minutes while I watched several other customers order carryout and get their orders. I did finally get my food and it was delicious. I saw other reviews about the slow service and one saying they felt they were not served promptly because they were not Latino. I really hope this isn't the case. I love the food and want to support a local chain. Please make sure carryout food is made in the order it is received. Also, the restaurant has smelled strongly like a bathroom cleaner both times I have been there and the music is continually breaking up. The servers that work there are all friendly. Thank you. read more

Poor service order to go. They said 20 minutes, left and came back in 30 minutes and didn't even start my order. Made me wait another 20 minutes. Everyone just talking to each other. Never again read more

I loved the ambience and the service. I tried Cebada and it felt so good and authentic.

TBH... I'm in between a 2.5 and 3 stars on this one. This is a really unique place. First of all, it's probably the biggest pupuseria I've ever been in. I don't think I would describe it as a hole in the wall by any means. The branding that is done for the restaurant is really on point. I'm like... is this a chain? Every one of the waiters and kitchen staff is wearing matching branded shirts. Everything seems really put together and clean. The service was really quick and efficient. The issue for me unfortunately was the food. The pupusas tasted... just not so spectacular. At the time, I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was... but after going to La Pupuseria Familiar in Wheaton the next day; that's really when I could really just juxtapose the pupusas and come to the conclusion that the one's at Doña Cecy's are just not as top notch as I'd hope they were. The Pastelles were pretty good and definitely the best thing I had that night. The tamale was... in addition to being not so appetizing looking... not the best tamale I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's the quality of ingredients that they're using or if it's just the technique that is not terribly refined, but I've had a good deal of pupusas in my life, and these unfortunately paled in comparison. I really do hope they improve and I'd be willing to give them a second change in the future. Everyone was very nice and the restaurant is very comfortable. *Slight suggestion too: Serving pupusas in baskets make them difficult to cut and eat. I'd definitely opt for paper plates. read more

Wonderful pupusas! Variety of flavors. Everything on the menu is on point! Great place for families. Their churasco (grilled meats) platter and chicken platter give an abundance of meat. Soups are delicious and have ox tail & mondongo soups (weekends only). Grubhub delivery is available but best to call in for pick up if you're in the area, since delivery fee is $5.99 thru Grubhub app. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place for the first time. From the outside, it looks small but when you go inside it's spacious. The kitchen is open you can watch them making pupusas. They have sanitizers and signs of social distancing. They are open for dine-in but we ordered to go. They have a contactless menu on each table. When I scanned the menu they had lots of options. But when we got to the cashier, she said they don't have tacos. So we only ordered two different kinds of pupusas the (2) Chicharron, Queso, Frijoles, and (2) Queso con Camaron. Both pupusas were okay nothing special about it. They make the pupusas big and thick but they put less meat. You can taste the cheese and beans more than meat. The cabbage was so good though. It was fresh and tasty. They probably have an additional homemade sauce that they mix to it. The cabbage brings out the taste of the pupusas. read more

Ironically none of us ordered the namesake pupusas. So this review might have already might let you down there. The restaurant, very clean and spacious, is located in the Twinbrook plaza right next to Dunkin Donuts right before the Korean Grocer Lotte Market. As another reviewer mentions, the food is good but just missing something. I feel like it's the seasoning maybe even a dash more salt would have been welcome which is usually the opposite at most restaurants. The grilled chicken I had was very nicely grilled and came with yellow rice and a salad with side option of (bottled) ranch dressing. At this price point I am not expecting more, just that for anyone familiar in the Montgomery County area there are many other places to choose from that have more flavor. I've had Horchata from my favorite local taco truck and their horchata in comparison was just like drinking oatmeal milk. I threw mine mostly away. It might be powdered but seemed watery and had no hint cinnamon at all. The best part of the experience was sadly the service. Our waitress was super courteous and very attentive. read more

I went here to get dinner for myself and my family and of course walked out with less than half of my food. I was offered a refund for the half I didn't receive yet never got my refund let alone a email or call from the owner like I was told. would have been better if I either got the food I paid for or got my money back like promised so don't hold your breath with this place you might end up passing out read more

the cheese papusas and cheese + jalapeño papusas are delicious. next time i'll try cheese + loroco. ambiance is quiet, family restaurant. service is A+ read more

My English speaking friends and family tried to order over the phone and walked in the store and they were ignored hung up on and never served the food they purchased. If they refuse to serve non Latinos they should put up a sign saying no gringos allowed or invest on an online ordering system. I'm embarrassed that as a native Latina known for our hospitality anyone would be treated this way. read more

Me da pena de lo que la gente hispana considere este restaurante "salvadoreño" cuando todo la comida lo hacen sin gana como no son ellos quien van comer esto pedí comida a las 9pm una hora antes de cerrar. Yo por no chequear la comida me pasa esto quien se le ocurre dar un chile asado de esta manera. Las pupusas párense que un Niño de 5 años hico esto. Solo porque ya le faltan poquito ir a casa haces trabajo chueco. read more

How did I not know of this place sooner? My wife and I used to go to Doña Asucena in Herdon, VA for cheap and authentic pupeserias and we were craving something similar now that we moved to Rockville, MD. This place is EVEN BETTER! We ordered one Pupusa- Revueltas de Arroz and two plates of Huevos Chorizo & Carne Deshilada. Man... everything we had was SPOT ON. We'll be back soon! read more

I love this place, I order here sometimes and I always satisfied. The food is authentic, fresh and most of all they always greet you with a smile. read more

We visited this place on a Thursday night, we sat down and waited close to 20 minutes for the server to acknowledge us, she took our order and waiting 20 more minutes, at this point we have waited a total of 40 minutes give or take; to add injury to insult the people that came after us started getting their food right away. We told the server to cancel our order and left. We'll never visit this place again, really bad customer service. read more

My English speaking friends and family tried to or walked in the store and they were ignored and cashier keep tell me they don't have rice and soup and didn't understand it I had to show them pic from help to get my orders in they should get some one who can speak English and Spanish so if you don't speak Spanish we could still order food from them . read more

Tried cheese, bean and cheese and bean,cheese &pork pupusa. Also chicken pupusa. I never had pupusa before but they are tasty. A little salty but when you eat it with the spicy slaw that comes with them it goes quite well. I think 3 or 4 is a good amount of pupusa for one person. I ordered 5 and felt it was too many. The tomato 'water/ketchup ' they offer as a condiment didn't do anything for me. The fried plantains were good. The chorizo-huevos plate was so-so. read more

The best pupuseria in the area and all the employees are really nice and friendly. One of my favorite places in the Twinbrook area.

THE BEST!!!!! Service is 10/10, food is 10/10!!! Only place to come for pupusas fr fr NO CAP!!!!

This place throws down! My family and I like to take out the family meal plan of a dozen pupusas and 4 sodas for $25. Dining in is nice and keep in mind pupusas are made from scratch so prepare to wait at least 20+ minutes and another 10 minutes for them to cool down! They have a pink drink (I forgot the name) that taste like bubble gum! Yummy! read more

Very good portion and very good food. I ate in and also took home food. I had the churrasco. read more

Pupusa are cheese stuffed corn tortillas (cheese is inside the dough), and optional fillings. This El Salvadoran Pupuseria is hidden in a strip mall on Viers Mill road. It just opened this week, after a long time completely renovating the interior. It looks great inside, and the pupusa aren't bad either! My husband and I ordered a variety to take home. They got a little mushy in the container on the drive home (we ordered too many, and really it would be better to eat in), but they were still great. We tried the ones with loroco, squash, chicken, and pork/beans. I was partial to the ones with veg, my husband to the ones with meat. We both agreed we should go back tomorrow to check out their breakfast or lunch... if we have finally digested everything we ate tonight! Note: They have the credit cards up and running now, so I edited this to remove the cash only bit. read more

No complaints. You get what you pay for. I've never dined in so my review is for take out experiences. They always get my order right and its always ready in a good amount of time. Well priced and I can usually get in and out without waiting at all. read more

Great place with amazing pupusas and other choices. The prices are relatively low and the food tastes great! Amazing place to grab a quick bite read more

Very authentic Salvadoran food. The pupusas are awesome! The service is excellent. Many good choices in the menu.

Always hits the spot. All the dishes here are great, pupusas are delicious, and service is very friendly.

Everything was delicious, ummm om I didn't love the chicharon, everything else was super delicious. First time coming here, however I have plenty of salvadorian food experience. The staff was welcoming and always attentive. Loved everything about it! read more

This is an excellent pupuseria. Hand made to order, lots of options on the menu, including rice and corn masa. My favorites are the loroco and the pollo con queso. Facility is neat and clean. Very well kept. read more

I would given 5 stars but this is the only restaurant that I have seen that charges for 5 cents for a plastic bag for carry out. I've only seen that at grocery stores. Other than that, the ladies that provide services are very pleasant Food is pretty good. I like that they keep the menu with just Salvadoran options. read more

Very bad customer service. I order on weekly basis, but today I placed my regular a to-go order which they promised would be ready in 15 minutes, after 40 minutes, I was still waiting for my order. When my order was ready about 45 minutes later and I asked for a discount, person who took my order and asked me to pay for it TWICE while I was waiting told me " we are not authorized to give any discount " I was so disgusted that I just did not take any of the food I have ordered.... This guys need to learn something about customer service and how to value a customer, they do not deserve my business! read more

I love this place. I always feel out of place when I walk in to order because I don't speak Spanish. However, the queso con pollo is my favorite pupusa with rice and beans along with all the dressings on the pupusas. This is usually my go-to order and I can honestly say I get this every time. So if you are looking for something to order my suggestion is 2 - Queso con Pollo pupusas with a side of beans and rice. :) Enjoy. read more

Ordered three breakfast dishes to go, the service was good and the cashier was really nice. I ordered 2 eggs with chorizo and 1 carne desilada. As soon as I opened the carne desilada I did not like it at all. The meat was very dry and tasteless and there was barely any eggs in it. There were barely any chorizos in the other two dishes too. Probably won't go back there again. read more

As soon as I come down from heaven I will write a review of Dona Cecy's Pupuseria...yes they are that good. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and the seating area is ample and inviting. If there were an option to give them 10 stars they would by far exceed that rating as well. The best of luck to you Dona Cecy :-) read more
