    The papusas are amazing, a pretty decent price, and always served hot and fresh. Service can be a little slow and you have to go up to the counter robot, even when seated at a table, but a solid neighborhood spot.

    Yesterday, I came into La Familiar for lunch, and overall, it was a satisfying experience. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the cleanliness of the restaurant. It was spotless and had a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, it wasn't too busy when I arrived, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered three bean and cheese pupusas with rice flour and a chicken baleada. The food, in general, was really good. The baleada, in particular, stood out. The homemade tortilla was incredibly tasty, and the chicken inside was juicy and flavorful. The only downside was the pupusas. While they were full of cheese, they seemed to be lacking in beans. Ideally, I would have liked a more even 50/50 split between beans and cheese to fully enjoy the traditional flavors of this dish. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, the food took a while to come out, which was a bit surprising. I would have appreciated a quicker service time.

    I love being able to grab pupusas here for a quick meal. Plus they have the biggest selection I know of in the area. Thursday night we got a few different kinds: revueltas, chicharron con queso, jalapeño con queso and pollo con queso. The cheese they used this time was different than the last we came but it was still good. Super reasonably priced and delicious! I'll be back and hope you try this place too.

    First place I ever had pupusas and favorite place to go back. When I'm feeling basic, nothing beats biting into a hot, fresh cheese pupusa. The slaw and sauce are pretty good too, but if you're not in the mood for the extras, just going straight for the bread is pretty delicious. I've been to their other locations too, but this was my first so its got a special place in my heart. Whenever I'm in College Park I make it a point to try and stop here. FYI $5 minimum for cards, which seems like it shouldn't matter, but 2 cheese pupusas is less than that, so its a price performer too!
