Irene's Pupusas - Hyattsville

I went for breakfast. I really enjoyed the 2 eggs breakfast with black beans, plantains with sour cream, avocado and tortillas. I also got chicken tamales. The food was fresh and tasted very delicious. The tortillas were homemade and made at the moment, which made my breakfast even better! The tamales had very good flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I also had a cup of coffee and it was hot and fresh! The location is small for dine in. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a plato típico from El Salvador.

From the moment you arrive in that restaurant the waiters give you a comfortable feeling. Very comfortable stuff, it is a nice place to to go out with buddies or with your date. Great cooking, skillful chief cook and stuff, decent price and nice service. Highly recommended.

The food was great! The service and atmosphere was not. We found ourselves waiting for the server to come greet us for at least 5-10 minutes with only two other customers in the restaurant. The tables and seats need updated. I was sitting on a bench that had a rag taped to it which I'm guessing was there so I wouldn't hurt myself.

Food is good. Atmosphere, not so much. A smoke detector was chirping the whole time as the battery was dying, and yet nobody from the staff seemed to care and just let it continue. It was really annoying and I couldn't take the loud sound in my ear. We ended up leaving. I assume they fixed it by now (or the battery has fully died) so you might not have to worry about that on your visit.
