Wow, this place is a true gem! This is authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The pupusas, rice, beans, and fried pork with yuca were fantastic. The horchata was great too with the perfect amount of sweetness. The decor is super cute with photos, napkin holders, and other items all from El Salvador. Really recommend this place if you’re looking for Central American food. The portion sizes are large too.

The food was delicious. My kids were so hungry that they dug in before I could get a pic. We had pupusa’s, a chicken tamale and chips and salsa. Let’s just say no crumbs we’re left behind. It’s a very small restaurant/ hole in the wall but offers dine in with about 3 tables.

What a great little spot! The pupusa, tamale, and rice/beans were perfect. The service was lovely. It’s a great little hole in the wall. We’ll be back, for sure!

Small, friendly restaurant with good Salvadoran food. Good for dining with a friend, not enough space for more than a small group if eating in.

The place is small but don’t let it fool you, they make the best pupusas out here in VA. The best, chunky pupusas you’ll ever find. They might feel expensive but it’s totally worth it. Don’t go complaining about people character or why there’s no AC. Just get you dang food and go.

Tiny dining area and hot with no AC or circulating air (27Aug22:1700) I had the “Plato tipco” it was decent and filling but the pupusas were greasy than I’m used too. The bean and rice were alright too.

El Buengusto is like family. Great food, funny folks, the place for breakfast & coffee or dinner & beer (or lunch & beer, or breakfast & beer). Loaded digital jukebox, made to order food, Modelo for days. Mason kids, make friends here and you’ll have a fine time.
