We had a restaurant.com certificate to this place. We put the address in the GPS and it led us to this shabby shopping plaza with very few signs of life. Pueblo Viejo is tucked in this lifeless ghost town. It's a tiny place, with about six tables and, when we went there, there were six other people. My boyfriend got a chimichanga and I got a Salvadoran platter. His chimichanga was one of the best I've ever had (yes, I'm a mooch) and the tortilla was lightly fried, making it soft and crispy at the same time! The pupusa (I got queso y chicharron) that came with my Salvadoran platter was nothing special, although still pretty good. It tasted like all cheese, but upon careful dissection and sample analysis I determined there were indeed microscopic bits of pork. The Salvadoran enchilada, however, was quite an experience. I sniffed it and thought it smelled a bit like goat butt. Not wanting to be rude, I took a bite, and found the taste to be infused with a hint of goat posterior as well. Upon close examination of the menu, I realized that the salvadoran enchilada was made with something called "hard cheese" which I had assumed meant cheese that you could use as a mallet hammer, but actually was some specialty aged cheese that tasted like feet. Either way, neither my boyfriend nor I could stand stuffing our faces with goat droppings anymore, so we took off all the cheese. What resulted was definitely amazing. A hard, fried crispy thick shell layered with a generous amount of refried beans, beef, and awesome curtido. Generous portion sizes, casual but very good service. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that they give you. Even though this place is kind of out of the way, I will be back - this time knowing to avoid any form of hard cheese.

I love love loveee their pupusas! Every time I go, I say I will try something new. Do I? NOPE! I just get pupusas again. But really, I should try something else considering how delicious their pupusas are. This restaurant is hidden in a shopping center with nothing much else in it. It is nice, clean, quiet (I haven't gone during the regular rush hours tho), fair price, and most importantly, delicious. You will see the same faces if you repeatedly go (which I enjoy as long as its not a bartender remembering me by name!) I recommend 100%.

Restaurant has been dark for over a week. No sign in door, so no telling what's going on. Drink coolers still stocked and salt&pepper still out on tables, so something happened in a hurry.

This small restaurant has the best pupusas around!! My fav have always been the cheese ones but at this place the mixed ones are so delicious so now we always make sure to get more mixed! The fried yuca(cassava) with chicharron ( salvadorean bacon) is also very good. About a week ago we wanted something quick and simple so we got the Mexican Tortas and even though the bread they use is on the small side, the taste was better than I expected. The service is also very friendly. I've always gotten the food to carry out.

I am obsessed with something at Pueblo Viejo. It is called a Enchilada Salvoredean. It is my new obsession. PV is a total hole in the wall place on Rhode Island Avenue in Beltsville, MD. You really would not know it is there if it weren't for the ads we have seen and for the restaurant.com coupon. We decided to hit it last night in the pouring rain and boy where we happy to do so. Fresh Tasting Chips and a mild salsa to start brought us hungry for more. I ordered the Salvordean Combination Platter. It was wonderful. My husband had the Combo Fajitas and about died and went to heaven when he bit into shrimp that was wrapped in bacon. Our other diner companion had chicken fajitas and enjoyed his too. The price was wonderful and we had a lovely time. We will be back!

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
