The food is fresh and has so much flavor. Can't wait to go back!

I found Sofia's and honestly it hits the spot like a baseball hits for home-run. As soon as you enter this place you feel so welcomed. This is one of those spots where it feels more like home than anything. Your order is ready even before you know it. Now let's get to the pupusas. I got the chicken cheese pupusas. These are crispy on outside, cheesy and warm on the inside. Right after the first bite you can tell that these are made of love. The amount of sauce and cabbage you get is more than required so that is always a plus. I have also tried a burrito from this place and that was equally delicious. I highly recommend this place to all. 5/5 because why not?

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.

After tip, spent under $100 for steak nachos, 3 papusas, a steak burrito, chicken quesadilla, and carne guisada plate. The portions are large, the meat is well cooked, and the flavors are familiar + comforting, making the experience nostalgic. The papusas came piping hot with delicious crisp cabbage. The sour cream was the star of the show for the quesadilla. And the nachos? So simple yet absolutely mouthwatering. Service was fast and friendly. We were welcomed by a gentleman who confirmed we wanted to dine in vs take out. The music was loud, but the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Our waitress primarily spoke Spanish but she was kind and patient with me (my Spanish is rough). If you're looking for a no frills experience and a filling, quick meal, I highly recommend stopping in!

The pupusas however were 5 stars. There were so good. I highly recommend them to anyone. Their curtido was also so delicious. We loved them so much we went back another day to order some more. The next time we are in the DC area we plan to stop here again.

The Plato Tipico came with a pupusa, pork tamale, grilled steak and rice and beans. The Carne Guisada was filled with beef, carrots, potatoes and squash served with rice. Personally I really enjoyed the Plato Tipico with the variety of things it offered and how tasty all elements were. The rice and beans were the best rice and beans I have ever had. Portions were pretty large for the price you pay, so definitely a great value. Is it the cleanest place? No, but it's your no frills hole in the wall serving good food.

My criteria is a bit high was it comes to pupusas since I grew up eating authentic ones at home. I…read moreordered 2 pupusas from here, one which I assume was supposed to be pork and one beans and cheese. The "pork" one was not authentic as it was basically tomato blended with cheese. It was still good because it almost tasted like a tortilla filled with pink pasta sauce but I knew it wasn't the real deal. The bean and cheese one was good. For 2 pupusas it was a little under $5 and came with the pickled cabbage and tomato sauce. Two was filling but I maybe could have gone for 3. The staff was very kind. They do have a variety of items on their menu. Do not be confused by the outside like I was. It does appear to be just a liquor store on the outside but the deli is located at the back of the store, if you keep walking to the back when you enter.

This place is located in a convenience store, so when you're approaching the address, it's not very obvious that this place is located inside due to the lack of signage. This place has limited hours and I believe they open early for breakfast and close at 4:00 p.m. I originally wanted to call in my order, but didn't see a decent menu online and/or prices, so I made my way there. I got there maybe about 20 minutes before they closed as I saw the chairs up on top of the tables in their seating area. I immediately just ordered the carne asada tacos, the pork pupusas and the cheese pupusa. I took it to go, brought it inside my car and because I didn't eat lunch and it was almost dinner time, I literally picked up the cheese pupusa and ate it in my car. It was piping hot and delicious. I didn't even put the little salad / hot sauce on top as I was really hungry. Overall it was really good. Of course, I moved on to the taco and thought it was kinda small, but thought to myself I should have ordered one more. I think it was comparable to the price that I paid, but for someone that was hungry I knew that maybe four wouldn't not be enough but thankfully the pupusas filled me up. I didn't finish my food completely as I drove home because I wanted to really sit down and try the food. My overall feedback on the tacos is to probably ask them to make my tacos medium rare if at all possible. Secondly, I would probably order at least five and maybe four pupusas. I think that would satisfy my craving and I would be full. I love supporting small businesses so if you are in the area, please stop by and try out this place.

We ordered the tacos al pastor, the birria tacos, shrimp tacos, and carne ones. They were all delicious!! The tortillas don't break up, they have a lot of filling and the seasoning is so so good. I wish I'd taken pictures of them, but they didn't last long! Too good. The sauces that came with them were great too! The margaritas are so good, you need to be careful not to drink them too fast haha. My favorites were the peach margarita and the tamarindo one. However, the mint and cucumber one was super refreshing, and if you're feeling adventurous I recommend trying one of the jalapeño ones! It is spicy though. My friend couldn't handle it and that's why I ended up drinking it. It was really good! The ambience is great too. The owner personally greats everyone when he's there, the waiters are really friendly and make sure to check in regularly to make sure you have everything you need! Overall, the place is great for a laid back lunch or evening, with yummy food and drinks! I hear they have karaoke nights too. Not sure when... I'll definitely have to try it out. Fully recommend!
