El Norteno Grill - Silver Spring

The restaurant has a cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe, with limited seating both inside and outside. You can either take your food to go or eat in, and they serve beer and spirits along with bottled or canned sodas. The parking lot is quite small, but don’t let that deter you—the food is absolutely worth it, and I’d give it five stars! I’m not typically a fan of Mexican cuisine, but I came here for my mom and sister, and now I’m eager to return. It's about an hour from where I live, but it’s conveniently located not far from the beltway and easy to find. The restaurant specializes in Salvadoran and Mexican dishes.

We were thankful that this restaurant stayed open late at night. We ordered two traditional dishes from El Salvador, and the food was fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the juice, guacamole, and homemade tortillas. The server was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was both enjoyable and relaxing. Although the music was a bit loud, we opted to sit in the back where it was quieter. We were pleasantly surprised by this place and would definitely recommend it.

My wife is from Mexico, and since we are visiting Arizona, we wanted to ensure the food would be good. We ordered pupusas and nachos, and also tried some fruit drinks that were quite unique. Everything was very delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was that our waitress and the person on the phone didn't seem to speak English well.

Excellent food, delicious margaritas, light industrial landscapes of outdoor decks (e.g. the secret of spoiling quantum charm and very affordable prices). All very fresh, Camarones, Salad, Guacamole. Delicious.

Love the pupusas! My son had the carne asada- very tasty! Quick and friendly service. Tables set up outside.
