Pupuseria Vanessa: Reviews & Ratings
I loveeeee pupuseria vanessa!! They have a great selection of El Salvadorian food on their menu and it's always so so good!
According to my Latina spouse, these are the best pupusas in the Takoma Park area. Having tried many places in the area, I agree. They even give you a buzzer, so you know when your order is ready. Located in the parking lot of Bestway on the corner of Piney Branch Road and Greenwood Avenue.
Ordered 10 pupusas. Was made fresh in 15 minutes. Shared between my wife, my daughter, and I. Excellent, very tasty and hot (temperature) would highly recommend.
Had the pupusa de ayote and pupusa de jalapeño. Felt like a warm hug by an abuela or tía. A must go when you are in town.
Vanessa's has the BEST pupusas. My favorite pupusas are the bean and cheese. Their yuca fries and plantains are to die for. They're efficient, affordable, and always open. Could not recommend enough!
Very authentic El Salvadoran papusas and plates....all to go from a truck! Hand made thick tortillas are used for their tacos...which are very different from authentic Mexican street tacos and not spicy or hot at all. Try the papusas made with frijoles for something different. There are at least four other Latin American food trucks nearby, mostly Mexican or Tex-mex...this one is authentically El Salvadoran and we'll worth the trip. Five minutes from Sligo trail by bike and 5 min from beltway by car.
Always solid and great prices too. I've only had pupusas but I would like to try other items one
