    I gave this restaurant 3 stars because I felt it was just average. The pupusas were delicious. My boyfriend and I split both the pork and cheese and the spinach. There are many varieties to choose from but these came recommended by our server. Speaking of the server, she did not speak very much English but was super nice and friendly. So don't let the language barrier dissuade you, we easily got through the meal with lots of pointing at the menu. Unfortunately our main dishes are what gives this restaurant a bland rating. I got the pollo con guisado. The chicken can in a tomato like sauce ans was super moist but lacked flavor. The same for the rice. My boyfriend ordered the a Salvadorian beef dish, I can't recall the name. But it came on skewers. The flavor was ok but the meat was tough and over cooked. The margarita was very nicely made. And the price point is not bad. Two dinners, two pupuas, 1 margarita and a beer was $45 + tip. More expensive than the mexican restaurants in SC (where an enchilada, burrito rice and beans is about $5) but cheap compared to DC prices. Overall I think it is good for people trying Salvadorian for the first time, like we did today. Half of the menu is generic Mexican, so you have that safety net, and the food is pretty tame. Though not the most flavorful, you could still get a sense of the flavor profiles!

    All I want to start of by saying is that what mexican/salvadorian restaurant doesn't have lime? I ordered a corona and it came with a lemon. I politely asked my server for a lime in which she replys that they don't have any..... How am I suppose to drink this corona with no like. Bad start. I ordered a side of guacamole and a pork and cheese pupusa. They obviously had no lime because the guacamole was so bland. If I wanted to just eat avacado, I would go to the store and buy one. I had to smother the guac in salt just to eat it. The pupusa was good but I've had better. I ordered the tex mex fajitas as my entree. At this point, I was hoping for some redemption. The fajitas were delicious. Absolutely great! I was pleasantly surprised. The shrimp was grilled perfectly and the beef and chickens flavors were perfect. I guess next time I'll skip the apps and go straight to fajitas.

    Actually 2.5 stars Okay it's 6:30 pm on a Saturday and no one is in here nada, zip, zero well except me and wifey. Now I do know that dinner time usually for these types of places start a little later than for some others but at least there should be a couple of people here. Well now it looks like another couple is having something over there but still talk about a ghost town. Why is it so dead? After running around all day doing typical married couple errands we found ourselves in Wheaton over by the mall. Me not having anything since morning breakfast and having to go all over the place. I can get a little bit cranky when I'm like this so the hunger demon was awakening in me in a major way, must feed it. It would be great to try something new here in Wheaton besides the usual Asian spots that we come here for. How about Salvadorean/Mexican but mostly Salvadorean Hummmm sounds good nuff let's go in I'm starvin like Marvin. Of course first thing we noticed no customers not a good sign usually in my "Book of Knowledge". Plenty of people hanging outside in the street but inside ..... Next thing after being seated is that they have a rather extensive almost too extensive menu. All kinds of listings for appetizers, soups of every mixture, burritos of every kind, chimichangas, too many Salvadorean specials to mention, tostadas, enchiladas, a sea full of sea food, there's whole section for egg dishes by themselves did I mention tacos? Can't remember but the list goes on and on and on. I had one of the many combinations of beef enchilada chile relleno and chicken tamale which was okay-dote but nothing to really write home about just decent. Wife had some type of grilled shrimp (of course) and also that was okay in a decent way. All was washed down with a somewhat watered down margarita and Corona. All just plain and decent arriving at our table on the slow side of the clock. Come to think of it, even the chips and salsa were just meh nothing that stands out and makes me want to come back for more even though we live within a close proximity of here. Prices are relatively reasonable and corresponds to the area and customer base. So this is nothing out of the ordinary just a place to come for a quick err not so quick bite, watch the soccer game on one of the 5 TVs have a few cervezas and that's it mang. Oh and don't be surprised that the toilets are very very small and don't have a sink in them. That you will find out in the open.... in the dinning area.... yeah I know, kind of weird right..... don't ask.

    Sampled their food at Taste of Wheaton - loved it and thought we'd give dinner a try. Went Friday night at around 6 PM - the bar at the back and TVs made me a little nervous however it was fine. There were a few working types quietly having a beer at the bar. The dining room was roomy, clean and cheerful. Chips were tasty, thin and crisp and the salsa homemade. The waitress spoke good English. When asked for recommendations she started with the Gringo stuff but I stopped her and said I wanted typical Salvadoran. She recommended the Guanaco Platter: chicken tamale, mixed pupusas, fried plantains, rice, beans and sour cream. Husband had several items from the "Cravings" portion of the menu: pupusas, fried plantains, Yuca Con Chicharron. Portions were large and the food very tasty - in particular the refried beans were the best I have ever tasted. The jukebox played what I assume is Salvadoran/Mexican music at a reasonable volume . We saw several Hispanic families with kids come in for takeout so you know the food is authentic. Total cost for two was $24 which included a beer. Would have loved to try dessert but was too full ! The only complaint I have is there was a tent on the table advertising Friday 3-7 PM Happy Hour Bud/Bud Lite beers for $2. I ordered a Bud Lite at 6PM on a Friday, pointing to the tent. When we finished the bill came having it for $3.75.

Mexican Cuisine

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.
