Irene's Pupusas

I found Irene's Papusas when my daughter was in dance at D'Anna Dance Studio a few doors down. This is now my family's favorite papusa spot. The food is AMAZING. I typically order by phone for pick up. I don't speak Spanish, but I order by reading directly from the menu and then I provide my name. I never have a problem. The atmosphere is sports bar. The clientele is male. But I have taken my children and my mom there and we felt completely comfortable dining in. It is safe and clean, and service is prompt and polite. Sometimes I order for pick-up at the bar and have a margarita while I wait. I recommend this place. Definitely try the Taco Doña Marta! My fav! For context, I am black/ jamaican american. May seem irrelevant, but iykyk.

I found the pupusa to be good and the tamale was alright. The problem is they intentionally charge more money on the check than on the menu. I pointed this out and the waitress took an attitude. During the day, not too busy, so no reason for it. I would have given it 3 or 4 stars for decent food, fair prices, lively setting. But the dishonesty and attitude are at issue.

Irene's Pupusas was a pleasant surprise. The pupusas and pasteles were delicious. The margaritas were okay, made with a pre-mix, but my family are margarita-snobs. Overall, good experience. I bet it's fun to come on the weekends!

This is the amount they give for 3 pupusas 😂 like huh? Never again

I literally just walked out of there five minutes ago after sitting at the bar for about 30 minutes. I approached the bartender to ask if I could order some food, but the waitress who was supposed to take my order walked off without acknowledging me. Frustrated, I decided to sit at a nearby table and wait, hoping a server would come over to take my order or at least acknowledge me, but nothing happened. Eventually, I got up and left. I would not recommend this place. Having lived in Glenmont my entire life, I still don’t understand how this establishment is still operating today, as my experiences have always been disappointing.
