De las mejores pupusas en el área de Sterling. También la yuca con chicharrón sabe muy bien. En cuanto la atención al cliente no muy buena pero la recomiendo por la comida. Y la horchata sin faltar sabe muy bien!
This is a gem hole-in-the-wall. Until now, I had to go to Manassas for good pupusa. The pupusa familia is literally served in a large pizza box. The first time here, I saw at least 10 of them for to-go. Revuelta is great. We also had the fried chicken quarter with platanos. Very authentic and tasty dish. The fresh pressed orange carrot juice was delish! If you don't speak Spanish, be patient, and maybe have your Google translator. You won't come here for the ambiance or linen service, but you will remember the food!
I basically lived here last summer. The nachos la carne are unbelievably good. So much flavor it can't be described. This place has grit and is authentic AF. Only slightly knock is the extremely long wait. It will take about 20 minutes.
WOW!! 5 out of 5 stars! First time trying this place - ordered takeout, we did not eat at the restaurant. We ordered "La pupusa familar" - it's a family pupusa. I did not think it was as big as it was. It's 8 slices of heaven! Each slices is about 2 regular pupusas. We ordered a bean and cheese rice pupusa, a bean and cheese corn pupusa and a pork, bean and cheese corn pupusa! They were REALLY THICK! They did not skimp on the cheese. My absolute favorite was the BEAN AND CHEESE RICE PUPUSA! Incredible flavor! LOTS OF cheese! WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK AGAIN!! Included a picture of my 7 month old son for size comparison!! Haha!
Beautiful view and thet serve one if the best and Lovely traditional pupusa with enough proportions of the protein like the cheese,beans,pork, and chicken.... Love the horchata too!
