La Casita Pupuseria - Washington

While the pupusas weren't the best I've had, the overall experience at this restaurant was enjoyable thanks to the great service and charming atmosphere.

The enchiladas I ordered were drenched in oil. It was really gross!

The Carne Asada Callejera (Grilled Steak) cost $15.95 and came neatly packed in a compartmental takeout container. It consisted of thin slices of grilled steak served on a bed of seasoned white rice. For sides, I chose frijoles refritos (refried beans) and Casita salad (lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots). The grilled steak was flavorful and well-seasoned, although slightly tough and chewy. It paired nicely with the seasoned rice, which was delicious on its own. I particularly enjoyed the frijoles refritos, which were my favorite part of the meal. The Casita salad was nothing extraordinary, but it provided a refreshing contrast to the steak, rice, and beans. Overall, it was a great choice and quite filling. I would recommend trying it. Next time, I'll make sure to finally try the pupusas... haha.

I ordered the vegan bowl with avocado and plantain. It was absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and the prices were reasonable for Washington, D.C.
