Cerrito's Pupuseria - Chantilly

Cerrito's Pupuseria may not have the most glamorous appearance, but don't let that deceive you. This hidden gem serves the most mouthwatering pupusas in the area. Despite its worn-out facade, the restaurant is always bustling with families and local construction workers, a testament to its popularity. While calling in an order may not be the most reliable option due to their inconsistent phone response, it's worth the effort to experience the delectable Salvadorian cuisine they offer. The pupusas, although slightly pricier for some, are generously sized and bursting with flavor. Moreover, the other menu items are equally delightful, and the service is quick and efficient. In summary, Cerrito's Pupuseria is an excellent destination for authentic local Salvadorian and Latin American food. Although it maintains a modest setting, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you're treated with warmth and respect.

However, I was disappointed with the pupusas we ordered to go. While they were a decent size for the price, the filling seemed to lack cheese, which is a key ingredient in pupusas. Having enjoyed them here before, it felt like they might be cutting costs and compromising on quality. Please make sure to include plenty of that tasty cheese! The service was just okay; there’s definitely room for improvement. I understand it was a Saturday afternoon, but the servers appeared unenthusiastic, almost as if they didn’t want to be there. No one asked if everything was alright after we were served or if we wanted to place more orders. It was difficult to get their attention when we needed something. If someone from management reads this, I hope you will address this issue, as many people I know have felt similarly about the service. As for the ambiance, it’s a very casual space, maybe a bit too informal. The building itself seems rundown and could use significant improvements and a facelift. That said, I will definitely return for the delicious food, but it would be great to feel welcomed rather than as if our presence were a burden. Thank you!

Such a cute place ! Service was great and food tasted authentic. We had pupusas and tacos and they were fresh and delicious.

Hands down the best pupusas in the area. The tacos and quesadillas are per good as well. You can get a fair amount of food for a decent price. It's one of my favorite spots to pickup a quick lunch.

The food was horrible, we got tacos and pupusas. The pupusas had a lot of masa so much that half of the pupusas was a tortilla. All corn and no meat, the tacos were beyond burnt. The meat looked like it was a shoe, had no flavor and even though we asked for cilantro we had nothing. The food overall was horrible, if you know what real tacos and pupusas are stay away.
