Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great homemade Salvadoran cuisine! It was amazing to see your tortillas being made right in front of you as you wait! The meats were cooked perfectly as were the beans and rice. The only potential downside are the loud next door neighbors but the TouchTunes jukebox made up for it with a wide selection of Latin and non-Latin records. Definitely come for the food or do take-out, either way, stop by!

Just moved to the area and really wanted pupusas. Checked on Yelp and read other reviews about the place. People seemed to love it so I decided to check it out during my break. I ordered 3 pupusas and an Horchata. My co-worker ordered wings and fries. Both orders were gross. At first bite, the pupusas were very bland, I even used extra sauce to give it more flavor. When I got to the 3rd pupusa, I saw something stick out of the side. Looked closer and it was a pork nerve. Double gross. I feel sick to my stomach. As far as the horchata goes, I wish I never tried it. It has a really bad after taste. co-workers fries were cold and the wings had no flavor. I definitely don't recommend this place. Usually, places that look beat up have bomb ass food. Not the case with this place.

If there is one bad thing about Nelly's is that if you're not El Salvadorian, you may feel out of place. The locals know exactly what Nelly's is. I just picked up a Pupusa and a order of chicken tamales while I waiting for my laundry next door. The food was pretty darn awesome and only took minutes to prepare. The price was affordable, so if I am in the area, I will definitely go back.

The Food and Prices are good but be prepared for you to be served last they make sure they serve the neighborhood people they kno first

Nelly's is very homey and you can see them prepare your food for you. The workers are very nice and friendly. If you don't know what drinks to get, they let you try! They give you big portions for fair prices. I get pupusas every time with my food and they never disappoint!

Truly authentic Salvadoran food. I thought I was at my moms house when I had the Desayuno Salvadoreno. It was hard to find as their sign was hidden. I just wished they had one by my house in Northern Virginia. I would highly recommend this place for real delicious food!

Since I found this place it became one of my favorite places for a good home made meal; super friendly staff, they cook your food right after you order in front of you, I tried the Carne deshilada, I was in heaven; delicious taste that transported me to my little country right away, everything taste just like home !

I visited this establishment on a sunny Saturday evening for a filling, wallet-friendly, healthy dinner. The meal was this an more. Delicious, fresh, home-cooked style, Salvadorian food. I ordered the chicken tacos with corn tortillas. It was tastier than Chipotle - it came with homemade corn tortilas, grilled chicken, tomato salsa, and a huge slice of avocado. It was very filling. I appreciate food being made after it was ordered. I love how the ladies working here are happy folks. They sang as they worked. I also like how there were little touches of Salvadorian culture, such as home made curtains, hand-drawn tip jar, framed portraits, a blaring tv, and plastic floral arrangements on tables. As I was about to leave it was approaching peak dinner time ~6pm and it there was a bit of a line of folks waiting for their take out orders.

Inexpensive, tasty, fresh, hand-made pupusas! The chicken tamale was like buttah. Good Salvadoran pupusas with tasty slaw. The chicken burrito was huge and tasty. My Spanish wasn't very good so instead of 6 pupusas, we ended up with, like, 12. I happily paid for them and we had the rest for dinner the next night. Yum!

Love Latin food and this place did not disappoint. Delicious food and huge quantities. Also a big fan of the fact that you can watch your food being cooked from the time you order it. I will gladly wait for a freshly prepared meal. Great experience!

The food is alright, but expected better based on other reviews. The place itself is kind of a hole in the wall... my beef soup gad little beef and mostly cartlidge. The fajitas were decent, with tender beef. I thought those items were overpriced for what I got. Next time will try the $5 burritos.

Great food, great prices, parking is a challenge but worth it. I recommend the streetb for parking. Try the mexican hot chocolate(has cayenne pepper)
(4)Mel S.
The food there is cheap and absolutely delicious! I am not sure if it's mexican or salvadorian food, but there is a nice selection. Fresh ingredients and excellent seasonings. It's a hole-in-the-wall kind of establishment but I have loved it ever since a relative introduced me to it. Thought I should mention, a lot of the customers that stop by there are some what inebriated but that makes the experience all the more interesting especially around lunchtime. :)
