Pupuseria Olocuilta

So Yelp has this new feature on the home page of the app, curated collections. I found this papusa joint with 4.5 stars under " cheap eats" 2 miles from home. It's a standalone building in the industrial side of Beltsville, on the far side of the tracks. Slightly seedy atmosphere, like a diner way off the main road. Steady stream of customers even on a Saturday afternoon. Between my 50 year old high school Spanish and pointing to the menu, I managed to place my order.The papusas are incredible, large, real corn flavor, and generously filled for a modest $2 each. The dipping sauce didn't seem to have its own flavor but enhanced anything that I baptized. Interesting slaw: room temperature, no dressing, crisp cabbage with carrot slivers and a bit herb I didn't recognize, with just a touch of hot pepper.The yuca was perfectly fried, crisp outside and creamy inside. Likewise the chunks of pork, juicy and just a little chew. Jamaica nicely balanced and complex.Sorry, Nelly's, I have a new Salvadoran local favorite. A hidden gem worth the detour. Easy five ***** for taste and value, if you don't like the atmosphere get take out. Ole!

The service is fantastic, Carla is sooo sweet! The food is awesome! IT IS OPEN SUNDAYS! Yummy in my tummyAfter trying all the pupuserias around, this place makes de best black fried beans period

I went back after a long hiatus and I'm glad I did! The service way much better now. It was a man working the place instead now, he was so kind, the food was very fresh and order was 100% accurate! I previously had a couple of issues here and was not going to give it another shot, but now I think I'll keep going from time to time. Definitely try out the plantains, these were some of the best. Authentic cuisine, great service and it seems like it may be family owned, definitely support this business.

I had a Mexican torta de carne that was really great! I bought my son an horchata, and he loved it. He has been asking to go back to get more horchata.

This is the best pupuseria I've been to in Beltsville! You wouldn't suspect it because its in a somewhat hidden away location, but the pupusas are delicious and a good price. I love to get the horchata with my order. My family and I come here all the time.

Very Disappointed at this place. Terrible service and food. Ordered Pupusas and sopa de pollo. First time did a carry out at this place due to Covid and had a bad experience. Middle of no where, dirty kitchen and countertops. Probably a family own business. The women who took order barely understand the sense of urgency or how to welcome a customer. Not somewhere I'd sit and have a decent meal. The Pupusas were dried and the soup was just mostly water. The chicken was over cooked and mostly bone. I will not go back again and not worth any money spending at this place.

It happened as expected, they might not speak English, but their pupusas are great and the curtido to die for, this hot sauce is awesome, sopa de res needs a little work, but all in all tastes like home to me.I have them close by and I can see how all the truck drivers love them.Kudos to all for bringing home back to my mouth

I ordered an pupusa in beans and cheese and the order of 4 tacos for $10 with chicken. I really liked the food although the chicken was a bit dry but still good. It's a nice hole in the wall Salvadorian restaurant. I didn't see a lot of seating inside so it may not be great for huge parties. The restaurant is located around construction businesses off of Ewing Rd and Tucker Street so I believe it attracts a lot of customers for lunch. The menu was small and simple and I gave my order in Spanish to go.

Yo vine la semana pasada y eran 6:30pm el letrero de afuera y el website dice que sierran alas 7:00pm Y todavía llame para asegurarme de las horas cuando llegue al lugar y quería ordenar ella con una cara de enojo me dijo que ya estaban serrados !? Y no me dijo que hora era la correcta que serraban cuando pregunté que hora cierran solo movió su cara a los lados!? No entiendo porque tienen en el letrero de afuera y en el website que cierran las 7 cuando no tiene una hora exacta!??? Horrible servicio al cliente !!!!!

The location is easy to get to, food is mto and the food is awesome! Prices are reasonable and the establishment is very clean. Can't wait to be in the area again to grab some fresh pupusas.
