What a find, Yelpers didn't let me down on this one. Five stars for the food and drinks. Perhaps the best pupusas I have had in my life. Order at the counter indoors and then they will bring the food to your table. The pupusas were on point! Perfectly seasoned and cooked. We tried the zucchini cheese ones and it was the perfect match. Their zucchini is finely shredded and gave flavor without the usually wateriness. Warning: their margaritas are huge! We got one "Texas style" which we were told is a margarita made with lemon and orange. Sold! We sat on their "patio" which is the front porch. Ambiance is not amazing with old card tables and folding chairs but it was decorated with Salvadoran flags and lights and TBH we didn't care with such a great meal. read more

I had some idea of where I was on the map, but as much time as I spend driving through the wilder parts of Virginia, I still underestimated how rural this area was. It's a one-block kind of town, not the place you'd think to go for Central American cuisine. The building is on the older side, but they've done a nice job with it and it has some charm. The menu includes pupusas and various other Latin American cuisine, notably possessing a vegetarian section. Notably, they have a time set aside on Sunday afternoon (which is often when I'm eating at restaurants) where they are apparently in pupusa prep mode and say that these delicacies may not be available. However, I dropped in just after 5 and they told me they were good to go. The classic options they offer were well rendered here. A queso loroco, which the menu explains in detail, offered large flower buds and a strong flavor contrast. The accompanying sides of pickled cabbage and sauce made for a typically dynamic flavor experience. And the great thing about ordering pupusas is that you can really get the size of meal you want. Three makes a good meal, but you could just get a snack, or add an appetizer. It's a good thing to search for, particularly if on a road trip for a region that is very pretty but not overwhelmed with diverse culinary options. read more

An old house in the middle of standardsville sits a hole in the wall chem of a restaurant. There's absolutely no reason a place of this high of quality should be found at this location but holy smokes do the knock the barn doors off of any competition in the area. I cannot say I have had a vast amount of Salvadorian food during my time but every thing about this place feels authentic. The people here are down to earth. The prices are dirt cheap. If you're looking for a place to have a nice date night meal, takeout, lunch, or whatever your heart desires you couldn't do much better than this place. read more

So happy to still have this gem in our town. The owners and staff are delightful and accommodating. I've not had one bad meal there in dozens of visits. Their food is amazing and the best value around. The margaritas aren't too shabby either! read more

Family of three, including an elementary school aged kid, here. We were in the area and decided to stop for lunch. We had chips and cheese dip, pupusas, and the carne asada plate and shared between us. Adults also got margaritas. The food was delicious. We enjoyed sitting outside. Service was great. read more

Came here for lunch as we finish up Shenandoah and head to C'ville. Charming little place with delicious pupusas! We tried the revuleta (cheese, beans. Pork), the pork zucchini and cheese, and the loroco (flower bud native to Central America) in both corn and rice. So yummy! And so cheap! Plus the lady waiting was so nice. Highly recommend! read more

Pupuseria Los Robles - 6 pupusas! - Salvadoran Near Me - Stanardsville, Virginia

This place is a must visit when you're in Stanardsville (or even if you're nearby)! The space is so cute and when you walk-in, the first thing you will notice is the SMELL. It smells amazing. My partner and I ordered takeout so usually takeout can be hit or miss, but everything was so delicious. It was some of the best Mexican/El Salvadorian food I've had in a really long time. We had the chicken sopes, carne asada tacos, and a bunch of pupusas. We also tried the horchata. Everything was extremely fresh and delicious and the front of house was super kind! If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely be back! read more

Just passing through and had to stop - we were not disappointed! Carnitas burrito was so tender and juicy! Tacos Al Pastor equally amazing! Will definitely be back!! read more

Took my partner here for his 30th birthday! We had a fantastic time. We were able to seat ourselves wherever we wanted and ordered up front. I got the shrimp ceviche and he got Yaya's burrito. We both really liked the burrito. We got a side of delicious fresh guacamole and this elevated the burrito. I highly recommend ordering the two together. While I liked my ceviche, I wish the shrimp was marinated a little longer in the lime or that there was more flavor. The chips that came with it were very yummy. It's a casual spot that's great for a quick bite. Our waitress was sweet and she had overheard that it was my partner's birthday, she had suggested a few desserts. We decided to go with the xangos (fried cheesecake). They put a very lovely Happy Birthday sign on top that made our experience more special. This was beyond yummy and I'd come back for the dessert alone. Pupuseria Los Robles is a great spot to stop at on a Shenandoah trip. read more

We drove in from out of town and came very hungry. We found this spot on Yelp and it was one of a couple places open on a Sunday night. This was a treat! When we walked in we chatted with the gentleman up at the counter. He was very sweet and patient with us as we looked at the menu. We decided on what we wanted to order and sat down. The food was so good. The platanos tasted soooo good. Almost like a funnel cake. I don't know why that's what came to mind but it was good nonetheless. The tacos were bangin, too. Perfectly seasoned. I couldn't finish everything bc I got full so that was sad. But I had great leftovers. Highly recommend stopping by this business. read more

I was visiting my sister in Virginia, we found some of the most amazing Salvadoran food. I got there Roles special. Which had Carne Asada, but I'm used to it being more of a soup. There was really more of a steak. Still tasty though and had fried plantains which were so delicious, they were sweeter than I was expecting, so maybe they were more ripe than normal. And I am not normally a fan of rice. But their rice was delicious, and the beans were perfect. We also got pupusa, mine was pork and cheese with zucchini. I had never had zucchini in a pupusa before, it made it slightly soggy on the bottom, but it was delicious. A very good addition. I highly recommend this place. read more

Pupuseria Los Robles - Los Robles special, pork and cheese and zucchini pupusa - Salvadoran Near Me - Stanardsville, Virginia

This was one of the most interesting restaurant experiences that I have ever had. This is advertised as an El Salvadoran restaurant, but it also has traditional Mexican items on the menu. I decided to go with Mexican food, as that is what I was craving. I would regret this later on. The ambiance was off. There was rock music playing, the lights were off and it was dark. It did not feel like a Hispanic restaurant. Based off the theme, I believe they are trying to appeal to the folks who reside in this small mountain town. Customer service was mixed, some of the staff were kind and some were stand offish. I was seated and looked at the menu, I ordered chips and guac as my appetizer, and (a chicken tamale, chorizo taco, carne asada taco, chicken taco + a plate of rice and beans for my main order). Despite these items being on the menu, the staff seemed hesitant and uncomfortable with me ordering these items. They had to get permission from the chef to see if they could make these items. The chips & guac were delicious! In fact, they were the best part of my restaurant experience. After that, it all went downhill! It took a long time for my food to come out. When it did, I wanted it to go back in the kitchen. The tamale was half cooked, the tacos were filled with greasy meat and stuffed into old floppy tortillas, the beans looked like sauce poured out of a can, and the rice has flavorless. Now on the menu the tacos said that they came with cilantro and onions, I asked my waiter about this & he noted "There is cilantro and onions in the salsa" Which was really Pico de Gallo!!! At this point I was truly appalled. The food was flavorless, and tasted like I was just consuming masses of stuff. The tamale tasted like it was boiled and had no flavor. It was disgusting, and I am in shock that I ate as much as I did looking back. Here are some suggestions to improve: 1. Take everything that is Mexican cuisine off of the menu, based off of my experience the chef clearly cannot cook authentic Mexican food. If it is an El Salvadoran restaurant, stick to that! Stick to what you all do best! 2. Do not be afraid to season the food! I know it is a small town, but rejecting authenticity to accommodate others is not okay. Add a spice option to the menu if your staff are worried about offending folks taste buds! This does a disservice to those who enjoy authentic cuisine. 3. Please turn on the lights and play some latin music! Spice it up! It felt pretty depressing inside of here. 4. Make sure the descriptions on the menu are what the customer is actually getting. I have lived and traveled all throughout Latin America, so I genuinely expected a lot better! Hoping that this establishment can improve! read more

Diamond on Main St in Stanardsville Incredibly great service, local small town Ambiance and authentic delicious food! You can't go wrong stopping here before or after a great hike along the Shenandoah National Park. We got the Chipotle chicken tacos - robust flavor but not over powering. Homemade salsa and chips are the chefs kiss. Great spot with indoor and outdoor seating - pet friendly on the front patio! Be ready for a short wait, this place is a hot spot read more

My wife and I recently moved here and we're so happy to find this little restaurant.The carnitas are to die for and the guacamole is superb. My wife was spoiled by many years of excellent food in San Antonio and really appreciates this Salvadoran gem. read more

Great little place! My wife's shrimp chimichangas were excellent, and the pupusas were great!

As I entered I noticed the cheerful Valentine decorations. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. I ordered a bean/cheese papusa and a zucchini/cheese pupusa. I also ordered guacamole and chips. The pupusas were the best I have ever had. They were thinner than what I am used to, but I actually enjoyed that. The guacamole was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. I wish I lived closer I would definitely go back. read more

I don't recommend this restaurant because we had a couple of questions about the menu and the owner gave us the most negative attitude was definitely not helpful it was our first time here. I don't understand how a person can own a business when they don't want to listen to the client. If I could give them 0 stars, I would because the experience here was so terrible bad. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food and service were excellent. To me the ambiance was just fine given that it is in what appears to be a very old historic building. We stopped in for a late lunch after spending time at Shenandoah National Park. I ordered the chicken and cheese dip nachos for the table and carnitas traditional tacos for myself. My wife ordered the cheese zucchini and pork pupusas and my son the chorizo tacos with a pupusa as well. The nachos came out first and they were delicious. The chicken was flavorful and seasoned perfectly. We enjoyed it so much I put in for another order of nachos to go for a snack later that day. The tacos were delicious as well. As one reviewer reported they only contained the meat but the cilantro and onion mixture was on the side. It wasn't a big deal to put it on the taco ourselves. My wife and son both enjoyed their pupusas saying they they too were nicely flavored. The staff were very friendly and the place was well lit. There is also ample parking in the rear of the restaurant. If ever we are in the area again we will return! read more

An unassuming but delicious little spot. The atmosphere is clean and homey. We had an assortment of pupusas and the special that day was birria, which was perfect. The birria was better than what I've had at much fancier places and it was affordable! Call ahead if you want to find out what day birria might be served. I enjoyed talking to the staff about the food and felt welcomed by everyone. I will definitely be back! read more

Food: Delicious food and very filling. Food is not your typical chain Latin restaurant food. I love Sopas with chirozo added with side of eggs for a brunch treat. The chipotle burritos and tacos were both a hit with me. The chicken nachos are good but ask them to add your favorite toppings for best experience Service: Owners and staff are friendly. It is a small family business so do not hesitate to ask at counter if you need something. Ambiance: Family restaurant feel without generic, mass market decorations. This is a local eatery which makes everyone welcome. read more

Really good food! Especially for such a small, off-the-beaten-path town. Very friendly staff, excellent service. Quaint ambiance, very clean. We ordered traditional tacos in a variety of flavors -- steak, chicken, chorizo. All were good, and generously portioned. Meat well seasoned and not at all greasy, tortillas prepared just right, onions and cilantro on the side, everything very fresh and tasty. Guacamole, chips and salsa were excellent. Fried plantains very good, could have been a bit crispier. Nice assortment of beverages offered. The place is small, but has about 8-10 four-tops. Seems popular, which is great and probably a testament to the quality of the food. We were there on a Monday night, and there were about 4-5 other tables going. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The pupusas really hit the spot after a day of hiking. Don't miss out on the hometown flan! Also outdoor seating incase you have a pup.
