Suggestions for Latin American Restaurant near Bethesda

J C. • March 21, 2011The BEST Salvadoran spot in the area. Huevos con chorizo in the morning, Pan de Pollo for lunch and Pupusas or Carne Asada Mixta for dinner.

Caitlin D. • July 31, 2015Excellent food, huge portions, cheap prices. Get the roast pork with plantains, red beans and rice. You'll have enough for two meals! Also, they do serve alcohol: beer, wine and basic cocktails.

Max W. • April 18, 2016Papusas. Legendary. And super cheap.

Matthew M. • December 20, 2022Has a lot of vegan options and they are all good. It is easy to find vegetarian food at a Mexican restaurant but the vegan section on the menu makes El Golfo special
