This place is a hidden gem. We had dinner here on a Friday evening and were delighted by the excellent service, welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food. I started with the guacamole and had the enchiladas for my main. Both were really tasty. My husband ordered from the vegan menu and was thrilled with his meal. It's rare to find genuinely delicious vegan options that aren't an afterthought. Honestly, the prices are incredibly reasonable compared to similar restaurants in Bethesda, Rockville, and DC. We would have easily paid double elsewhere for this quality. Not complaining though. We'll definitely be back. read more

Representing 2018 in alphabet series, L is for Los Chorros. I lived across the street from here in Wheaton for 3 years and ate here a few times. I had always gotten the food to go, so never actually ate in the restaurant. This is relatively high quality Mexican at a reasonable price. I got enchiladas, burrito. Burrito was big, nice & filling. Everything was very good. Staff was nice too. read more

Came here on a whim and I'm glad I did. Haven't had El Salvadoran in a while, and stopped in when I found this place on Google. The server was friendly and helped me with all my questions. I sat at the bar for a quick bite and received complimentary chips and salsa. The food was better than I expected! I got like a Salvadoran sampler with plantains, rice and beans, chicken tamale, and chicken papusa. You can choose what kind of papusa and tamale you want. What they're missing: flavor. Well the chicken in the tamale was actually seasoned well, but was on the dry side. I thought I didn't like tamales until I had one here. The rice and beans? Total miss and would not try again. The papusa would've been better if it had a better flavor profile. I wouldn't right Los Chorros off and would definitely give them another try. Also, they have $5 margaritas all day everyday !! read more

I looked at the other reviews before sitting down to write this. With so many commenting on the service, it might have made me change my mind. I decided that I would try a Salvadorian dish since I'm here! I got the Carne a la Parilla with two eggs over easy and fried plantains. The husband got the Especial Intipucá which consisted of beef steak, chicken breast, and Spanish sausage and served with pico de gallo, rice and beans. My NY strip steak was prepared really well. I wanted the meat to be medium and it was perfectly pink and soft. I really enjoyed my entire entree. I like refried beans to be creamy and this was. The eggs on the steak were a good addition to the dish. If I was making it, I would make the eggs more runny but if this is how it is normally prepared, it was fine as well. And absolutely no complaints with the fried plantains. The husband also enjoyed his meal and liked the grilled flavor of the chicken. He liked the variety of meats in his dish and it was nice to try something new for the both of us. I dropped a star because service was extremely slow. We waited too long for our food and our server did apologize for the wait. There was a huge party that day that the restaurant was trying to accommodate but we did arrive before the restaurant started to fill up and before the party. Our server did check on us a couple of times. I don't understand why restaurants don't just offer something for their customers when they know they've been waiting too long for their entrees to be ready. They could have offered more chips and salsa or something. I think I will be back. I noticed the table next to us ordered a dish that I would love to try. I think it was the surf and turf with a whole sauteed lobster. That looked amazing. Plenty of parking a few steps away at the county parking lot which is free on Sundays. read more

I saw this place on Groupon and my fiancé and I went last week. At first we went in and we're skeptical as there were several waiting for pick up orders and most of the staff were in the kitchen. When someone finally came out we asked for a table. Our waiter came and was vey friendly. We told him about the Groupon which was 80 dollars enough to cover appetizers, two entrees, and a pitcher of margaritas which we wanted. To drink we had a pitcher of frozen mango and peach margaritas. They can do up to two flavors combined and it was a great combo. For our appetizer we had a House Combination for 2 which had all sorts of tasty items including a cheese quesadilla, nachos, chicken wings, taquitos, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. For our entrees we shared the combination Salvadorena which had a chicken tamale, chicken papusa (substituted instead of pork), plantains, rice, and beans as well as Chef's Tacos which included beef steak, grilled chicken, and beef tongue tacos. All in all, we loved the food and drinks as it was both affordable and authentic Salvadoran and Mexican food. read more

Guys?! Don't even waste your money. The food is bland not to mention scarce and you don't even get complimentary chips and salsa. I had to re-season the food until I got so frustrated I left the rest for my dogs. Too many other places to get good El-Salvadoran food. Highly disappointed and would not recommend. I am a food connoisseur in this area. Trust me. You can do better! read more

Great food. The papusas, in particular, are excellent. Also, they deliver quickly and reliably. One of my main go-tos for takeout in Wheaton. read more

People here (Juan Ovidio) are disrespectful and deceitful. I placed an order over the phone and picked it up. Once I got home, I noticed that I was missing 2 Items. I immediately called to let them know. Juan Ovidio basically said I was lying... then said come back and get them. I get back to the restaurant and in front of customers said "they were there" but we will give them to you. Basically saying I was lying. I told him to forget about it and walked out. On top of this we ordered a Sopa de Pollo, now where have you seen chicken soup made with Chicken wings that you Fry?! Please look at this picture. 15 dollars for this chicken wing soup?! You just lost a customer. Be sure to double check your orders before leaving this place if you place an order. Never coming here again. read more

I had heard about this place as a top Salvadoran restaurant incredibly area but I'm disappointed. I was really craving pupusas so I ordered a variety of different ones - cheese, beans, pork, and cheese-bean-pork-loroco. The filings and sauces are good but the pupusas were burnt and tough to cut through. Not ideal. The platanos were also disappointing. They had almost no flavor and were slightly burnt. I don't think I'd order from them again but I'll eat the leftover pupusas. read more

amazing service, definitely the best pupusas in the dmv. i got 2 frijol con queso and one revuelta. they were both amazing and had that taste of a homemade salvdorian pupusa. they were around 3.50 each for a pupusa which is great considering how big they are . Would 100% recommend again! read more

Los Chorros is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always delicious and service is great. My favorite dish is The lobster with crab or Langosta rellena. I like this dish with a side sala and rice. I strongly recommend trying it next time you are dining at this restaurant. read more

So, where do I start? I ordered nachos expecting to see shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of crispy chips. Instead, I received nacho chips that had several layers of cheese melted over them. Instead of the typical lettuce and tomato Ingredients that come with nachos, I received a side salad with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and Italian dressing. This was the worst representation of a nacho salad ever seen. I do not recommend this restaurant at all if you are looking for traditional nachos. read more

Long story short--the food was great (5 star), they lose points for the amount of time that we waited (service 3 star at best). 4 stars overall is a little generous Ordered catering (fajitas) for a group of 12-15--it was a little challenging to get ahold of the person in charge of catering, and there was no catering menu which made it a little challenging to price out. I asked for a 6:15pm pick up, and arrived a few minutes late. The food wasn't brought out until after 6:45. Yes, it was a larger order, but it had also been placed the previous week. I wasn't the only one waiting around for their food either. And it seemed like there hadn't been much conversation between the catering staff and the front of house staff when it came to how much I was paying. Ultimately, got my food, brought it home, and it was a major it. No complaints, everyone loved it. Slight downside--the fajita meats and veggies were all mixed together, so the vegetarians in the group had to kind of fish out their veggies, and people who only wanted one type of meat had to pick around as well--but the flavor was totally there. At the end of the night, we had a little rice and some beans left, but all the meat and veggies were destroyed. I've never dined in, so I can't say what the service is like in person, during non-COVID times. I'm not sure if I would order take out again given how long I waited, but the food was a hit and I'd be willing to give the dining in experience a try whenever that's allowed again. read more

So it was my first time here on the recommendation of my girlfriend who loves this place and I must say I was thoroughly impressed by many things here. First was the great service that we received from Patty as she was very quick to greet us and take our drink and food orders. Within a couple minutes the drinks arrived and they were very delicious. I got a margarita and my girlfriend got her signature drink that she likes. We then moved on to entrees which arrived very quick and were piping hot and fresh! The food was very tasty and you could tell that whoever was in the kitchen was really thoughtful and put love into the food they prepared. Even the chips and salsa are handmade Overall this was an excellent experience and a highly recommend this place, this was my first but certainly not my last visit! Thank you so much for making our evening memorable and the wonderful service and delicious food was a plus. They also have a beautiful mural out front that was done the same way it was in El Salvador so authentic all around! read more

***3.75*** I ordered food to go through Yelp. Food arrived early. Order was correct. The Sopa de res was a little under seasoned and lacking veggies. The pupusa were pretty good. I liked the pork over chicken and cheese. Enchiladas were filling, but decent. I may order from there again. I will have to try different items next time. read more

Ordered online these nachos. Added extra toppings. It all came out to be $18 for extra toppings They didn't give me any of the toppings. I asked for it but then they tried to charge me even more for the toppings. They tried to tell me I didn't actually pay that price even though I had the receipt. I was rudely met with, "I know the prices here". The best they said they could do was give me more chips. Do these nachos look like they're worth $18 to you?? OH and the nachos are cold.

I orders 50 minutes ago; got to the restaurant and was asked to wait 10 more minutes. 5 people were sitting in the restaurant so I don't understand the delay for mediocre food quantity. I will never return. I wasted $42 for poor quality and unreasonable wait, 1st and last time here. I should've taken the 2.5 ratings as a warning. Shame on me for trying this place myself. Pro: lots of parking. Food ordered: Jellof rice & Egusi pudding. read more

I ordered a huge order yesterday and to be honest I hate giving my Latino restaurants a bad review but this a little of both. The pupusas were great and that's why I'm giving 3 stars. I had the Salmon with shrimp and scallops. Let me start saying the shrimp tasted fresh and good but oh boy was the salmon super salty and the scallops tasted super old, I had one bite and had to stop (yuck), it came with some garlic sauce and it was just to much. The plate was called Salmon la Union. Could not finish it because everything was so salty and the broccoli was old looking. The only thing I ate were the 3 shrimps. My husband got the veggie fajitas and he said he enjoyed, I'm glad he did. Everyone enjoyed the pupusas but the cortido as well was salty. All that money spent and half our food was thrown away. read more

I took my wife here for dinner the other day (check out her review below Giuliana V) we really enjoyed the pupusas and the traditional salvadores desserts that are made really well here. They make it just like back home and the honey is the star of the show. You have to dip the nuegado in the juice water they give you and pour the honey over it. The price is fair for what you get. 4 stars only because the service was a little slow but I get it we are in a pandemic and I'm happy to see they're still Open. read more

I've been eating here since around 2015 because I love the food. It's been a local favorite of mine and even after I moved a little further away, and then COVID-19, I kept buying with Uber Eats for delivery. Recently I've been paying more attention to Uber Eats as it seems they have been grossly overcharging for meals when ordered through their app - I'm talking $2-$10 per meal at some locations (compared to the restaurant price; this is in addition to their service and delivery fees). So when we decided to get take-out this time we just called the restaurant directly and utilized their online menu. In calling them directly, THEY OVERcharged our three plate meal by $8, just because we called and didn't order in person. When we asked why we were overcharged they blamed Uber Eats. When we told him it wasn't purchased through Uber Eats, that we called them directly and referenced their own menu, he said that's just what they charge now for take-out orders placed over the phone. Not once did they give us a disclaimer about this charge. It isn't listed online. And there's no reference to it in their online menu. They refused to give us our food for menu price despite the fact that we picked it up directly. To add insult to injury, they overcharged even more than Uber Eats. We will be reporting this to the BBB. I don't recommend this place any longer due to their shady business practices. It's a shame since I've been a loyal customer there for so long, and I'll miss the food. But I won't support a business who participates in misleading advertisements and dishonest business practices. Shame on you. read more

This restaurant is my go-to for Salvadorian/Mexican meals when I want good food and don't want to drive. To be clear, the meals get five-stars. No matter what I have eaten, the flavors and portion sizes have always been great. The price gets three stars. Although the food is amazing, there are several Salvadorian restaurants in the community where you can get a good amount of food for 50-75% of the price. For instance, the burritos here are $13+, while a little less than a mile away is a Salvadorian restaurant where burritos are $9. Tacos are $14+ for three while tacos at the aforementioned restaurant are $3 each, a la carte. On the same city block, another restaurant opened with prices similar to the latter. Although closed now because of COVID, it still stands that the restaurant is pricier than similar ones in the area. However, the happy hour menu is outstanding. I usually get the margaritas (because, why not?), the nachos, and quesadillas. They are usually out of some things I want when I get there, so I tend to order the same things. I can get a nice bang for my buck. The service for to-go orders is outstanding. Occasionally, something has been left out but it was soon rectified. Dine-in service can be hassle because of language barriers. I have had the wrong order brought to me a few times because of miscommunication. That was promptly fixed. Also, sometimes you don't see your server for a while. read more

Super disappointed at our latest trip here. Service was terrible- they added the tip automatically for two of us- never heard of that before. And the waitress sort of confronted me on everything I ordered. Margaritas were lacking on alcohol and the fajitas weren't on a sizzling platter. Plus our entrees came out five minutes apart. I used to love this place- what the heck happened? The auto tip is enough to say I'm probably not going back. The waitress didn't tell us it was on there so if I hadn't looked, we would have double tipped- likely what she wanted. read more

Half the menu seems to come with eggs... they should change the name from Los Chorros to Los Huevos... Anyway, we came here and a whole bunch of items. Started off with pupusas, ceviche, and shrimp quesadillas. I didn't try the last item, but the first 2 were decent. The pupusas had a good filling but I I've had better ceviche. It wasn't bitter enough, and it was also a bit small-- I probably wouldn't order it here again, which is kind of disappointing bc I really like ceviche. For my main course, I ordered the beef steak al caballo. I'm glad my main course was also the most enjoyable dish I ordered. Steak with plantains, beans and rice with an egg on top...mmM. I'll be back to try other items. read more

I'll be 100% honest here, I only gave this five stars because that was the maximum I was allowed to. If I could give it seven or eight I would. Now I don't know what people come to Los Chorros for, and I've heard the food is pretty good (carne asada, burritos, chimichangas, nachos etc..), but hands-down they are the king, and by a very long mile, when it comes to Pupusas. They are hands down the best I've ever had. I've visited El Salvador 4 times and having tried Pupusas in most of the major departments, (San Salvador, San Miguel, Usulutan and others..) I can say that Los Chorros made me want to come back for theirs every single time. Fat, juicy, succulent, oozing with Chicarron and Queso.. it simply cannot be stopped. And if you dare, their super Pupusas is a monumental amalgamation of goodness surrounded by masa. Add a side of their pickled Curtido and Salsa and washed down with their amazing Horchata.. You will never leave unsatisfied Again, I'm sure the food here is pretty good as well, but I cannot sit down in this place and order anything else outside the Pupusas because of how amazing they are. Do yourself a favor and get 1.. or 4. Update: this place was recently voted the best place to get a Pupusa in the Washington DC metropolitan area in DC Eats Magazine. Though I haven't had the luxury to try the pupas in Long Island, Houston, or Los Angeles, I'm willing to bet this place would stack up against each and every one of those cities, if not come out on top. read more

Came here after coming here as a kid with my parents. Was excited over their lunch menu. Ordered the chicken quesadillas and the chicken chimichanga. 1- the prices on their website are not accurate. When I arrived i was charged $10 more than what the the online menu. 2- the food was bland and tasted old. The chicken quesadilla tasted like TACO BELLs value menu quesadillas. For $10.99???!!! The chimichanga was NOT fried, so it was a burrito. The tortilla tasted so old. The food did not taste fresh and tasted like fast food. NEVER AGAIN! $40 for my meal. Couldn't got a $5 box at Taco Bell (I don't even eat fast food). Save your money and your taste buds. read more
