| Guest | I wanted to try this place because i love Latino food (and of course I saw it on DDD). It was the BEST Mexican/El Salvordoran food i have ever had. The owner/employees were super nice, the resturant was clean and quick to serve you. The food speaks for itself...homemade and AMAZING. a must if you love Latino food! | 4/8/2012 6:35:32 PM |
| Brenda Machado | This place was amazing!! I was visiting a friend in D.C. and well we had to try. As a foodie, it's hard to come by our traditional Central American foods unless grandma or aunties are in the kitchen whipping up a batch. The staff & owner was super friendly and was serving tables herself. It's an amazing Central American little restaurant in the Eastern Market area and we just had to try. Tortilla Cafe is known for the "Corn Tamales. " These are traditionally wrapped banana leaf with a sweet & smooth corn filling- goodness all it's own. Delicious, well portioned, well priced pupusa's are are hard to find, but this place had it.. It was cheesy, ooey, gooey and delicious- just what they should be (Corn filled tortilla pillows filled with pork, cheese or mixed - as you wish) topped with pickled cabbage slaw that has a great balance of vinegar to spice. Lastly, we ordered the fried Yuca con chicharron (Cassava Root- similar to a rooted potato and friedPork). The only thing, was there was no restroom; however, if you can get over that- stop by and have yourself a little taste of tradition, you won't be disappointed!!!! good find. Thanks DDD. | 11/6/2011 3:31:44 PM |

| Scott | This restaurant was great! It is a little hole in the wall in a really fun part of town. We went there by bike from the Mall. The beef soup was great...really nice flavor and the beef was sooo tender! The papusa was amazing! I didn't even know what it was but it was great. I would definitely visit here again. | 5/30/2010 10:46:08 PM |
