Another fantastic dinner.

I will for sure be back!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

Today I finally had some tacos; I'd held back before because it's my go-to and I wanted to try other things first. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a simple yet flavorful dish; the meat is well done, and the sauces are delicious. I would say if you are not used to handmade tortillas, opt for the traditional corn tortillas, as the handmade ones are thicker, yet they soak the sauces much better; if you feel adventurous, try one, plus taco carbs don't count lol During the winter, they have added hot chocolate packets to the condiment counter.

The food is so amazing and good. Little place but so full of life and the service is amazing.read more

The restaurant is clean and has a small bar. I loved how clean the restrooms were. Saturdays there is a happy hour option of some food items and drinks.

Both of their hibiscus margaritas were 10/10!!

The special Apple Cider Reposado margarita was good but we didn't taste any of the cider, just straight up tequila but it was good. You can also order margaritas in passion fruit, mango, strawberry, and hibiscus flavors. They get extra points because of the passion fruit flavor. The complimentary chips were okay, but the salsa stood out, it had an authentic/in house made flavor. For the main meals, everyone at the table was satisfied. We had an order of the shrimp and chicken fajitas, beef floutas and the salmon a la parrilla, grilled salmon topped with homemade mango salsa served with mixed green salad, rice & beans. The mango salsa was tasty but I didn't like how runny it was. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant itself looked clean and well-kept, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. I would come back and try a few other items on the menu. The online menu is a bit different from what we had in person, I didn't see the mussels on the menu given to us in the restaurant. Happy Hour is from 3-7pm. This is a solid spot for a casual night out with friends for good margaritas, authentic touches, and a welcoming atmosphere.

This spot surprised me in the best way. Came in looking for…read morea solid lunch and ended up finding one of the better Salvadoran meals I've had in the DMV. The service was on point, quick, welcoming, and they actually guided me toward something great instead of just taking the order. Went with the Plato Brian and it was the right call. Everything on the plate was flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying without feeling sloppy. The handmade tortillas really sealed it for me, there's something about that fresh, slightly imperfect texture that just hits different. Took me straight back to homemade meals. Had to try the pupusas too, cheese & pork is my go-to, and these delivered. Crispy outside, packed with flavor inside. Also, I've been searching for a good horchata around the DMV, and this one is definitely up there. Smooth, not chalky, and a little sweet (which I personally prefer). Big bonus: I grabbed food to-go for my wife, who's vegetarian, and they had legit options, not just an afterthought. She tried the spinach, loroco & cheese, and bean & cheese pupusas, plus the Salvadoran breakfast, and was impressed. This is the kind of place that does the basics really well, and that's what keeps people coming back.

I've been going to Angel Las Delicias for years, usually stopping by after work, and it never…read moredisappoints. My go-to is the pescado frito (fried fish). It's always crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. I usually keep it simple and get it with salad or vegetables, and it hits every time. So delicious. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, and they stay pretty busy with both dine-in and carryout orders, which is always a good sign. It is located in a sketchy part of Laurel, so just be mindful of that when you're heading over. But overall, if you're craving authentic Salvadorian food, this spot is definitely worth it.

I wouldn't exactly sit down and eat, but to-go, absolutely. I grabbed three tacos (Chicken, carne asada, chorizo). They are served on corn tortillas with cilantro and cooked onions. The cooked onions were a bit different for me as I'm used to the raw diced onions. Oommggg...these tacos were packed with flavor and gave me a sense of an authentic Mexican taco. I can't believe I waited so long to for this place a shot. This will definitely be on my frequently visited spots. On top of all that, the gentleman at the counter was super friendly. That's always a plus.

We were a party of three on a Monday, and there was only one other party of three seated. The rest of the restaurant, a large open space with tables and chairs, as well as booths, was empty. There's a bar to the right side, kitchen in the far back. It's clearly set up for shows, performances, screenings, and/or dancing with a raised stage toward the entrance and a projector screen. The service was very good. The server was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and attentive. There was a small language barrier but we overcame it by rephrasing, repeating, and gesturing. My companions ordered the quesabirria tacos, which they both devoured and raved about. The tacos did look visually stimulating, were served hot, and were a large portion for the price. I ordered the huevos rancheros without beef, and it was tasty but not astounding. The side of beans tasted like a shot of vodka was added in it and tasted terrible. I also ordered tamarindo but they were out of stock. They also didn't have tamal de elote, which was disappointing but not surprising since it's winter. I then opted for the lemonade, which was freshly made and does not come come with free refills. Soft drinks are can sodas, not from a fountain drink machine.

Very friendly staff and very easy to order. If you love El Salvadorian food, this is the place a Must try. They are not kidding about "Sabor De Mi Tierra" meaning "Taste From My Land." The taste of the foods from this place is a mouth watering at each bites. From Pupusas to Carne Asada to Yuca con Chicharrón and much more. The best place to try Yuca con Chicharrón. I am a huge fan of Yuca Con Chicharrón. My taste bites are Happy.

Okay these pupusas were delicious. A friend who lives nearby told me a while ago, so I'm glad I…read moredecided to finally check it out. It's located across from the plaza that has Ko's, Hip Hop, LAX and others. The inside has plenty of tables and booths, and there is a counter at the far back for pickup / takeout orders. The pupusa menu stands out... there's a whopping 13 different options! I decided to get an Ayote (squash) and Frijoles (beans). Now, they took a while... like a whiiiiile lol. The place was about half full, but folks were constantly in and out for takeout orders... seems to be the norm in terms of service based on other reviews. So call ahead! That's what I'm gonna do next time. And there most definitely will be a next time because THEY WERE DELICIOUS! Great texture, great filling... nice and cheesy, but not obnoxiously. I'm going to make it a point to go through the full list. The Loca sounds fun because it has pork, chicken, beans, cheese, squash AND loroco. If you like pupusas, give em a shot for sure. But be prepared to wait if you don't order ahead. Also, try dining in!
