Overall, I enjoyed the food and service I received. I never had Salvadoran food before and I would come back.
Great place for family..pupusas are the best I ever have they have around 15 kinds. The service is great sopa de res is very good, well balance, lots of vegetables, I counted 8 vegetables. It's does pack a punch for lunch. They put enough cow beef in the soup to get the umani taste . My son try the Tamarindo it was really good it taste fresh. Will definitely go back to try other offerings...
It's a genuine good restaurant! The food tastes really good, the drinks were a little cold but that didn't ruin the experience, the pupusas tastes amazing!!
Favorite Pupuseria!! I’m always trying different restaurants for that home taste, and this is definitely the spot! Their hot chocolate
Best in the DMV. The pupusas are fresh, the chicharrones are so tender that you don't need to cut with the knife, and the plátanos are fresh with just the right crispy around the edge. The pictures cannot do El Comalito justice. The prices are fair which make it worth the trip.

Delicious food, family friendly and good service.
