In the area for a hair cut and decided pupusas sounded good for lunch. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and ordered at the counter. I was given a menu and after perusing I decided on the pollo guisado for my entree and a pork and cheese pupusa. The pupusa came out first with a slaw and sauce. The slaw was mostly pickled and less saucy but paired well with the pupusa. The guisado was served on a plate with a scoop of rice, side salad, 2 more pupusas and a container of refried beans. The guisado was stewed chicken drums and wings with potatoes and carrots in a tomatoes based broth. The pupusas were perfect to use to scoop up the sauce. Pretty great for an afternoon delight. Would come back again.

Don't rely on the Menu found through Yelp. When I called- 3 of the 5 items I tried to order were not only unavailable- the staff seemed not to know the items were ever an option. I tried to order Tres Leches -also from the menu, but was told they had no desserts at all.
I had called in the order for take-out using the Menu link on Yelp. When I picked up the 2 available items- I was charged TWICE the menu price for the Calamari Fritos , which was lukewarm, dry, tough and a very small portion -especially when compared to the many other restaurant in the Annapolis area where I've tried it.
BTW, I didn't wait till I got home to try the calamari- I started on it as soon as I got in the car- so it should NOT have already been lukewarm.
The pupusa was fine with tasty cabbage/carrots.
I was disappointed bc I had read such positive reviews. I don't understand why my experience with the place was so different.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gonzalo L.Annapolis, MD08Jun 19, 2023

Very underrated. Place is like a hole in the wall. I have been going to this place for over a year, and as a salvadorian born person, their pupusas are very well made, which is something rare for a restaurant. The staff are polite and very friendly. This is a family restaurant during the day but at night it does turn into a bar/cantina scene, and on friday and saturday they have karaoke at night. Overrall: good food, and good staff.

We went here for carry-on for an impromptu early dinner. There was no one in there except the waitress and kitchen staff behind the counter. I thought the ambience was very nice, the place looks very clean, and the people were very friendly. (See my photos I posted on Yelp). It was helpful that my partner speaks Spanish fluently so he could talk to them and tell them what we wanted to eat. He also know what's really good to eat as far we El Salvadorian food goes!!
I would say that the menu did look more Americanized than I expected. It is not fast food so it took about 15 minutes. I saw the cooks in the kitchen actually making the pupusas by hand to our order, so it is fresh and high-quality.
The carry out food was delicious, one of the best quesadillas I've ever had. I wish we live closer to this but still plan to go there often. This was my first time there.
They have a high-tech music (juke) box on the wall. They have karaoke on Friday's. I imagine it turns into a full-scale bar at that time with awesome food. I'm sure it gets very crowded.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Kevin S.Kensington, MD21123320Sep 28, 2020
We needed good food and after a day out on the water Las Delicias hit the spot. We called ahead and asked for the chef's specials. Owner and chef Jose created a buffet style table and everyone was pleased at the taste and freshness.
Everyone loved the fish and the chicken. It was a total treat to try so many great dishes.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 2, 2018
Got the salmon filet.. which according to the menu was a blackened salmon that should have had a lobster sauce accompanying it.. got home and there was no sauce. Just a decent piece of salmon, decently seasoned.. on a bland pasta w/ salad n beans. I would probably go back and maje sure they put the sauce with it. But i was a little disappointed.. pupusa revuelta was ok. Def 3/5.. could have had more filling. No rush to return!

What an extremely unique establishment. Honestly. Weird.
First of all, it's in a strip mall sort of close to the Annapolis Mall. I was expecting it to be worthwhile when I saw that it was Salvadoran, but knew it had to be even more interesting when I saw that it was not only Salvadoran but French as well. OK. Maybe I'm just ignorant but I don't see the connection. Clue me in if you've got the info I need. But I digress...
This joint started at 3 stars when I walked in and saw the unique mix of Latinos and WASPs enjoying dinner in relative harmony. The service dropped my rating down to a 1 for about 20 minutes while I waited for the beer I had ordered. There was one server and 5 tables, 2 of which were just finishing up their meal -- I've never waited tables so I don't know if that's a lot or a little but it seemed manageable to me. The server got into the zone after a while, though, and became much more efficient after one of the tables left. The rating immediately shot up to a 4 when my food came.
I was hoping for sopa de pata (cow's feet soup) but they didn't seem to have it on the menu. Bummer. I did, however, order up a large bowl of sopa de mondongo (trip soup) which was laced with lots of veggies and a delicious red broth that does a great job of staining a white shirt. It was worth it. Along side I had a pork pupusa and tamal made in a banana leaf, I have to be honest I don't remember what it was called but it was really outstanding. So were the thick corn tortillas that accompanied the sopa, by the way.
The most annoying thing about the place was the death metal on the jukebox. It was REALLY loud but I suppose it added character.
I highly suggest enjoying your meal with a Suprema -- and order 2 right when you order your food so you don't have to wait!
I'll definitely be back. I must try the French cuisine (they had roast duck on the specials and the preparation sounded delicious!).Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Oct 3, 2010
So this place is less than a mile from home. I have passed it a bi-zillion times and with yelp help, we stopped in and gave it a try.
Indeed it was great. Must say we were the lone gringos in there, but every one was super nice. We had the papusas, not quite what I thought they would be but were great nonetheless. Then we saw the pictures of each dish on the wall. Using the visual menu, I selected the fish soup. It was fantastic. I also had the taco, choice of beef or tongue. Throwing caution to the wind, I tried the tongue. I must say it was great. Lean and spicy the green sauce was awesome. He had the Carne Asada. We both loved that too.
So casual, friendly and CHEAP. They have a happy hour that runs till 8pm. My Spanish is terrible but it looks like the drinks are buy one get one free. There maybe more offers beyond the drink offers, but I had exhausted my limited vocabulary.
SECOND HELPING: Chicken Tamale awesome! Happy hour applies to Beer only, but extends to 7PMHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mia C.Washington, DC50210Jul 8, 2018
I came to this restaurant for some pupusas. I purchased chicken and plain cheese ones. Absolutely the worst pupusas I've ever had. Very dry and minimal cheese. Basically tasted like plain tortilla. They get 2 stars because the service wasn't terrible... although it was slow. The ambience isn't so great either... a bunch of creepy drunk men.
