WOW!! 5 out of 5 stars! First time trying this place - ordered takeout, we did not eat at the restaurant. We ordered "La pupusa familar" - it's a family pupusa. I did not think it was as big as it was. It's 8 slices of heaven! Each slices is about 2 regular pupusas. We ordered a bean and cheese rice pupusa, a bean and cheese corn pupusa and a pork, bean and cheese corn pupusa! They were REALLY THICK! They did not skimp on the cheese. My absolute favorite was the BEAN AND CHEESE RICE PUPUSA! Incredible flavor! LOTS OF cheese! WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK AGAIN!! Included a picture of my 7 month old son for size comparison!! Haha! read more

Lets start with the food. For most salvadoran spots in the area, the pupusas are good. Not great but not the best I've had. The service is bad but usually to be expected but my biggest issue is how long 7 pupasas take from the time you order until you get them. Hence it wasnt busy, maybe 4 other tables. I think they prioritize online orders and make the people that come sit for a long *** time. I will definitely not be coming back for average pupusas to spend all day here. read more

Tasted the family size pupusa on one of my job sites before Christmas. I loved it. So you already know I had to go back. I couldn't wait to go back to that job site again. I tried the single large size .They were the bomb again and I took some home for the kids. They love them I have to go back and try some of the other food items off the menu. read more

La Pupusa Loca - Revueltas de Pupusa - Salvadoran Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

La Pupusa Loca -- Sterling, VA I can't stop raving about La Pupusa Loca in Sterling! From the first bite, I could tell this place is committed to authentic Salvadoran flavor. The revuelta pupusas were packed with cheese, beans, and pork--they didn't skimp on the fillings. Every bite was rich and satisfying I also tried their La Pupusa Familiar (the pizza‑sized pupusa), and wow--eight giant slices, each like two regular pupusas in thickness and flavor. The bean‑and‑cheese rice version was out‑of‑this‑world cheesy, the perfect mix of gooey cheese and savory bean flavor. Huge portions, and every slice was amazing Their queso con loroco pupusa paired with their house-made salsa roja is truly special--the best I've ever tasted. It's bold and flavorful, and the salsa perfectly complements the cheesy loroco stuffing Service here is friendly and efficient--even when they're busy, the staff handles orders quickly and with a smile. A few reviewers mentioned the place can get lively or have a short wait, but that just means it's popular--and for a good reason! If you're craving top-tier Salvadoran food in Virginia, this is it. No frills, but every dish is packed with heart and flavor. I'll definitely be coming back--and you should too! read more

This is a gem hole-in-the-wall. Until now, I had to go to Manassas for good pupusa. The pupusa familia is literally served in a large pizza box. The first time here, I saw at least 10 of them for to-go. Revuelta is great. We also had the fried chicken quarter with platanos. Very authentic and tasty dish. The fresh pressed orange carrot juice was delish! If you don't speak Spanish, be patient, and maybe have your Google translator. You won't come here for the ambiance or linen service, but you will remember the food! read more

The pupusas are authentic, not so greasy as other places and cooked to perfection! The fermented cabbage (side) is also not overwhelmed with vinegar as others restaurants do. Placed my order for pick and got quick serve once I got there. Nice space to eat in as well. We normally just do to go. Plan to try more of the other options in near future! read more

Ordenamos baleadas y son horribles, las tortillas son de la tienda y no son hechas a mano frescas. Las baleadas mas caras y feas :(

The pizza pupusa was good with rice flour crispy on the edge cheese with loroco and the mix was good

These are some of the best pupusas we have had. We really enjoy them. We have not had a bad meal yet.

We walked to the store, but the waiter never showed up. When she finally arrived, she was rude. The employees do not know how to serve customers and should receive proper training. read more

This had to be one of the worst dining experiences in my life. Ever. The sad thing is, the food here is amazing. We've dined in before. We've done take-out before. But last night was the worst. The dining room was crowded with a lot of parties with small children. It took almost 40 minutes for someone to come to the table to take our order. I was in wonderful company, so we let it slide since it was busy. When the food finally came, that's when things went downhill quickly. There were children--many children-running around the tables being completely ignored by their parents. They were crawling under our table, bouncing a ball which hit me three times, standing there staring at us while we attempted to enjoy our meal. Not once did a parent ask their child to show some respect and leave other diners alone. Also, not once did anyone working there ask the children to stop their behavior or ask the parents to control their children. It was ridiculous. And unnecessary. While I really like their food, I will not set foot in there to eat ever again, and will advise my friends/family to do the same. If as a paying customer you can't have the expectation of being able to eat in peace at 9pm at night without children being allowed to run wild by their parents and staff, why bother going? Were it not for the food, this place would now rate zero stars with me. read more

I basically lived here last summer. The nachos la carne are unbelievably good. So much flavor it can't be described. This place has grit and is authentic AF. Only slightly knock is the extremely long wait. It will take about 20 minutes. read more

Eating an oversized pupusa sounds amazing but I'm a firm believer that experience enhances the taste! I finally got to visit this very popular pupuseria and tried there ginormous Pupusa. Although, the giant pupusa hit the spot and was plenty to share with a group of 5.The appetizer and other menu items fell short. The nuegatos had to much yuca which took away from the taste and the kids chicken nugget and fries were a little over fried. In addition. the service was a bit frustrating. The waitresses did not put effort in providing welcoming or friendly service. The appetizers were brought out last and they forgot multiple request for water. I did however enjoy the El Salvadoran restaurant theme and decor which to me was was very nostalgic. I also think the prices were very comparable and eating a colossal size pupusas was an experience! I personally wouldn't come here again because of the service and also I live in Colorado! read more

This restaurant is disgusting. We order from them and when we received the food there was a glove in my son's food container. Absolutely disgusting. When we called to complain and demand a refund they hung up on us multiple times. After many phone calls someone finally picked up and said they didn't speak English and hung up again. They stopped answering the phone afterwards. Worst restaurant ever. read more

Food is delicious. Pupusas are great- some of the best in the area! I can be very picky with my pupusas. The restaurant tends to be busy the the staff tries to serve you in a timely manner. I recently went on Saturday for dinner. It was crowded but we did get our food in a reasonable amount of time. The waitress was very friendly. I recommend this restaurant! I tend to go often with family and friends. read more

I took picture after started eating. The pupusas smelled great. The flavors were wonderful and easy to cut. It was my first time having pupusas and I was impressed. The salsa was a great complement to the pupusas; I wish it was a bit spicy to give it a kick. Overall, I enjoyed the food very much and highly recommend this place. read more

I am a Salvadoran foodie. I go around the USA trying different food and cuisine I am also a chef. I ordered a Pan relleno and let me tell you when I had my first bite there was bones inside the sandwich. I understand they are trying to make this authentic but not in America! First you put the cabbage coleslaw salad then you shred The chicken you actually put small pieces of shredded chicken in the middle of the sandwich the you put the fresh salad cucumbers, radishes, watercress beats and then on top of the crispy salad you add the warm sauce from the recaudó! You can put escabeche on top al gusto! Pickled vegetables! Pan relleno auténtico doesn't come with boil egg. With all that being said this place is not it! read more

The service is horrible. I had to ask for water three times and the last time I had to stand up and go to the cashiers to ask for water. We ordered appetizers which came out at the same time as the actual entree. Any restaurant owner knows that the appetizers come before the entree. The pupusa was a bit salty and the tamarind juice was way to sour. The hype is about the size of the pupusa, however the restaurant next door also has large pupusas. The owner needs to invest in training the staff because the service ultimately ruined the entire experience. read more

We drove 1 hour to get to this restaurant. When we got there, we were told we couldn't eat inside anymore, that we could only do to go. She was sooo rude, they don't care about customer service at all. The food here is good, but with such a terrible service I don't want to come back. read more

I love eating their authentic breakfast's. Their pupusas and baleadas are very good as well!

Really massive pupusas! The pollo con tajadas is very good. Wish they had added more sauce and cabbage. The service is good and the place is very relaxed. Would come back for sure! read more

With plenty of delicious and authentic Latin American restaurants in the Sterling area, I think I may have just finally found my favorite. I always order the revueltas (cheese,beans,pork) and it's yet to disappoint. Cheap, large, and cooked to perfection (I hate when the dough isn't browned well) every time, I'm yet to order anything else cus the pupusas are just that good. I tried my sisters shrimp taco last time and the shrimp was fantastic. Recommend to anyone who craves the taste of a quality pupusa. read more

So I heard about this place and thought we'd give their Pupusa familiar (pupusa pizza) a try. I was skeptical and I really wasn't expecting it to be that good because anything made that big risks it's quality, right?! We'll I was wrong. It was flavorful and was great with the Curtido. I definitely recommend! We've gotten it for a few get togethers at home and they have agreed. I've also tried their empanadas de platano and they were delicious as well. I don't live close but will be back to try other items from their menu. read more

Me and my lady who's picky about pupusas fell in love with the PUPUSA LOCA! Every bite is full of deliciousness I also bought empanadas just yummy that simple.

Pupusa is good. Chicken tacos better because has an awesome seasoning to it. Only giving 4 stars because you absolutely need to speak Spanish to call to order. Would definitely recommend to order online if you can't order in Spanish. read more

Tried the HUGE pupusa is was pretty good, the chicharon and yuca was amazing,the chicken taquitos were good also.. its a little tight on space but over all a nice environment. The wait time was a little long, but was worth it for the food. The only part of my visit that wasnt good was the fact that the mens restroom was fully wet, almost fell in the mens bathroom(assuming a tiolet leak?). I would recommend this place for a family dinner. read more

So, I checked on Yelp to find a good Mexican restaurant in the area and this one came up. I typed it into my GPS and I would like to note for others that are unfamiliar to the area that the location is on 309 S Sterling Blvd, because 309 N Sterling Blvd is somebody's house. Anywho. The place is in the middle of a walk way in a shopping center that has seen better days. The inside looks like what used to be a smaller club and isn't much but at least its clean. The menu was filled with great pictures and lots of appetizing entrees. It really took me a little bit to decide, but i went with the Chicken Chimichanga. The rice that they serve is nice and fluffy and has alot of flavor to it. My girlfriend got the chicken fajitas and both of our entrees tasted like they were cooked on an open grill. Just great! I also have to comment on how AWESOME their Guacamole is. I'm not even a Guacamole fan and i couldn't stop eating it. This place doesn't look like much but the food is fantastic and i'd definitely come back. read more
