To be greeted nicely, sit on the bar area, if you R Male they'll treat you better. I'm a big tipper, however, the girls think only guys R.
Big wide open space... Maybe they turn it into a dancefloor at nighttime.
I ordered by phone coming frm work by Metro super tired I decided to eat there. I was told I couldn't by a waitress. The Place was empty.

This restaurant has low rating, but I enjoy coming in here. For some people, the music may be too loud. The noise doesn't bother me at all. The pastelitos and pupusas are definitely tasty. I always order 2 pupusas and 2 pastelitos. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in this area.

Large pupuseria and bar. We were some of the only people there. Good service and good pupusas.

My family orders from here a few times a month. Occasionally we'll dine in. The space is so much bigger and there are always sports on tv. The rating is low but we think it's fine and we've had pupusas in San Salvador.

I've only been in twice, once for carry-out and once dine-in. Both times the language barrier was a bit problematic (I don't speak Spanish) but each time there was a male employee there who was completely bilingual and was able to bridge the gap. I avoided Irene's for years because from the outside it looks a hole in the wall, and the Glenmont Shopping Center is dirty and feels dangerous. I finally stopped in recently because I was at the Staples next door and was lured by a craving for a pupusa. The restaurant turns out to be cavernous! It's also pretty dark and neither of us used the restrooms, so I don't have much to say about the reviews that lament a certain level of dirtiness, except that my knife had food stuck to it. I've ordered both bean & cheese and spinach & cheese (not on the menu) pupusas, and the man ordered pork & cheese. He also ordered a beef taco. We both ordered rice & beans on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food did take a while to be served but it was all piping hot and flavorful. Neither of us were raised on Latin American food so we may not have great comparison, but we were both very happy with the food. The one thing that sat ALL wrong with me was the tip that's built into each dine-in check. The menu states that, like in many food establishments, a 15% gratuity is added to parties of 5 or more. Well, that may be true, but our table of two had a 20% tip already added to the bill when it arrived. And there's a line for an ADDITIONAL tip underneath. This is sneaky and makes the place seem shady. Many other reviews mention it and the owners should take note that customers don't like this practice and their Yelp reviews reflect this. It's the reason I gave them 3 stars, not 4.

Not sure why this has bad reviews. My pupusas and curtido were excellent and affordable. The place was weirdly empty but I did come on a Monday. Lots of space in here and comfy booths. Some empty storefronts nearby are kind of sketch but overall I would come here again.

Es la cuarta vez que visito el local y la comida es muy buena, lamentable el tiempo de espera es demasiado aún en un momento en el que no tienen clientes, no imagino como será en un momento ocupado. Las meseras deben ser más atentas.
