Maria's pupuseria restaurante — Restaurant in Arlington

I had a horrible experience. I placed my order 1 hour ahead of time. I even called them to let them know that I was on the way. When I got there, I wasn't greeted. Everyone walked past me as if I wasn't even there. They even greeted another customer in Spanish, that came in after me, but I still waited patiently. I was really upset because I was there first. I even told the lady that greeted the other customer that I was there first and even the customer agreed. The cook/server looked surprised that I spoke Spanish and told me (in a rude voice) that the customer has a big order and that me ordering 10 pupusas was not as important as his order. I explained to her that I was going ask if they could do a catering order for over 100 people for my business this Saturday and Sunday. I will not be returning to this...

I walked up to the window at 15 minutes until the posted closing time and saw 2 women wrapping silverware for the next day. The door was locked but the lights were all on and the open sign was on as well. I tapped on the window to find out what time they would be open the next day as it was not visible on the sign. Niether lady would come to the door and started laughing at me. I am not sure what was so funny but, considering they were closed 15 minutes early and couldn't be bothered to answer the phone or walk 5 feet over and simply answer my question put a bad impression in my mind. I will not be eating there ever now. I asked the people at the store next door and they warned me saying I would regret...

Our first time at Maria's Pupusería. My sister and I shared platillo 4: grilled chicken breast with rice, beans, & salad; also three cheese pupusas, and one chicken tamale. Pupusas: big, soft, lots of cheese, delicious. The grilled chicken was sliced thin and grilled maybe medium-well, which is how I usually like meat cooked. Beans were good. Rice was plump and moist instead of dry and overseasoned like a lot places have. Salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, radish. Also a big lime wedge. Chicken tamale: large, soft, with tender chicken. Staff were friendly and fluent in Spanish and English. We got a box of alfajores, powdered cookies sandwiched with dolce de leche...
