This is a hidden gem in this obscure shopping center and an area I don't normally drive through. I…read morewas using the Yelp surprise me feature and decided why not! I enjoyed how crispy the fries were and you need to ask for whatever that green sauce they have is! The sauce had a little kick, but made the food so much better. I was not a big fan of the beans, I rather have them less watery but everything else was great. I will be checking this place out again in the future.

After adventuring out into DC during the weekend, my partner and I wanted to grab some food close…read moreto the metro stops in Falls Church or Fairfax. I wasn't feeling up to the big chains and places I wanted to try seemed to close early. Luckily this place was open and I had been wanting to try it for a while. Definitely it let a hidden gem! There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

This review is solely based on my take out to-go order…read more I came in & was immediately greeted by an employee. I couldn't decide on one thing to order originally because everything looked so good! I decided on chicken & bean pupusas & chicken taquitos which came with beans and rice. The service was great while I was in the restaurant & they offered me water & chips while I waited. I was pleasantly impressed by all of it. It was all so yummy and reasonably priced. They did get my order wrong on one of the pupusas, but I didn't care because it was really tasty. Love love love this place & will be back to support this business.

I think we got there right as they were opening at 11am as it was empty on a Thursday at lunch,…read morewhich was nice because it was quiet, and couldn't even hear noise from the kitchen. But maybe they were having a lot of problems that day. First, the salsa con queso was very runny, and had a strange taste. The salsa was also very liquid so maybe it's just badly blended together, but was hoping for something a little more.. The chips were good. They are thin, and they brought plenty of them. Tacos were pretty good, the fish had a unique taste that I couldn't place. Just.. strange in that way that wasn't exactly bad, but I didn't get the best feeling. The Chorizo taco was much better. Unfortunately I was disappointed by how expensive it was for what amounts to Costco ingredients. I lament not paying more attention in high school Spanish because of the three people serving us, only one spoke English, and that made it tough to ask any questions about the food. They give you a receipt with a QR code requiring you to use Toast to pay, which conveniently downloads a temporary app to your phone WITHOUT ASKING. That wasn't cool... Not at all. Overall it .. wasn't great. I LOVE TexMex food but this was mediocre, service mediocre, difficulty being understood and ordering, runny queso, strange fish, and expensive for what I could have gotten at Taco Bell for less.
