This neat restaurant in Alexandria, VA is heaven for Mexican-Salvadorean-Bolivian food fans. I came across it on my way driving to the UPS store. I don't dine-in but do carry-out because I find the place a little "stuffy". The food, however, is rated five stars!
If you are a little adventurous, I highly recommend Tacos de lengua which is beef tongue tocos served with cilantro, onions, and pico degallo (salsa). The beef tongue, however, is rather fatty and has its own unique taste, smell, and texture that is very different than other parts of the cow. As bad as it sounds, I enjoyed the dish a lot.
My favorite here is cheese pupusa (pupusas de queso) which, to me, looks like o'regular pancake stuffed with cheese.
If you like soup, they serve a few that would pass as a meal. I recommend Sopa De Res which is lightly spiced beef stew with plantains, cassava root (yuca)
This restaurant caters to mostly latino clientele. Karaoke nights are from Thursday to Monday 8:30pm to 1:00 am. So I would avoid the crowds if you are not into Spanish Karaoke.

I've been coming to this small cafe since late 1990s. Don't judge the book by its cover, this small place is packed with awesome Americanize Chinese-Japanese food you would otherwise pay lots of $$$ for somewhere else. I actually love getting my sushi here. While it's not goumet sushi, it's a bang for your buck. Its quick, its fast, its a good location. And most of all, it's consistent. My favorite is California Rolls and hot&sour soup. The portions are generous.
If you never had hand made noodles, you've got to try them here. They are very different than regular machine made noodles; the best part that I find appealing was the texture of the noodles- fat and plump. My favorite is pork-chop noodles.
This is the only place that served whole fish for under $10. You can't go wrong with that price.
Order first at the cashier when you arrive. Then seat yourself, but not before serving yourself a cup of free hot tea. You'll be given a number and your order will be delivered to your table when ready.
If you can't finish the generous portions, they even have boxes convinently located at the corner on the right next to the hot tea.
