Pueblo Viejo - Beltsville

The restaurant is now called La Perla, and the birria soup and tacos are quite delicious.

My friend discovered a hair in his food and the server did not refund the meal; they only took a dollar off the total bill. Despite not eating his meal, my friend was still charged the full price. The poor customer service we received during this incident has ensured that we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Went for breakfast. Over cooked eggs. Greasy rock hard tortillas. Took a long time to get served. Didn't seem interested in serving gringos.

We went to Pueblo Viejo for lunch today. My friend is from Salvador and suggested we go to this place. It is a little hole in the wall restaurant in a strip mall. The decor is cheezy but the people there are nice and we were attended to almost immediately. The staff's english is not the best so be patient. Fortunately my friend is fluent. We ordered papusas and tamales. Took a while to get them but when they came they were good. The place had numerous salvadorians in there eating so it is also authentic. The total bill for four papusas and two tamales was $10.18 what a deal!

I did not enjoy the service at this restaurant. They advertise free delivery on TV but when we called, they said they did not have anyone available to deliver. It's disappointing when a restaurant offers a service they cannot actually provide.
