Doña Cecy’s Pupuseria 2002 Veirs Mill Road, Rockville, MD 20851

"This is my favorite place to get pupusas but I am slowly starting to dislike it due to poor attention to detail when giving someone their take out order. I order take out from here constantly but I’ve learned to double check my bag before leaving. First occasion they forgot 1 pupusa which I didn’t find out until I got home, when I called they could not refund it, so I had to go back for my 1 pupusa on another day. Second occasion they forgot my pastel de carne and the curtido/sauce for the pupusas I had ordered. When I went to ask for the pastel and the curtido for my PUPUSAS they had found the box with my pastel and said they forgot to put it in the bag, then I asked the lady about the curtido and the lady told me the curtido was inside the box with the pastel (small bag of curtido just for the pastel) then I stop another young man and tell him I am missing my curtido for my PUPUSAS and he stated it’s inside my bag !!! After telling him it wasn’t he proceeded to bag me the curtido for the pastel ( the pink curtido ) . They are probably overworked or overwhelmed but not understanding me when I am speaking Spanish is ridiculous."

"Food was very good!!!! The place is super clean including the bathroom:)"

"Do yourself a HUUUUGE favor and avoid the pain of one of your worst dining experiences. First I like to say that from management to servers there's no professionalism, no people's skills, no nothing. Servers take your orders like robots or worse, only robots would be faster. At our arrival to the restaurant it was practically empty. Two tables with guests. One table with employees sitting having their meals. We sat ourselves because there was no one to greet us or sit us so we sat ourselves, and waited. And waited and waited some more till my friend got up to let the personnel know that we were there in case no body noticed us sitting there and one lady said "yes I saw you, I'll be there " several minutes later she finally showed up, menus in hand she said "I'll be back to take your order" we of course knowing that we've waited about 25 months already we decided to go right ahead and order since we already knew what we wanted. She took the order and left, drinks arrived about 7-10 mnts later. 40 mints in the waiting for the food only the pupusas arrived, so we asked the lady who brought the pupusas was oblivious about the other item so she went to ask about the rest, and came back to say that it was coming "soon". 15mnts later we are justifiably upset about the delay and ask for the check but asked they that they delete the baliadas since we never received them, so just then she remembered to go back and check and and out of magic she appears with plate in hand. We went back and forth about we, wanting to pay only for the pupusas (3) my friend and I ate together and she refusing to discount the cold baliadas that arrived at the table after we had asked for the check and after we had finished the pupusas. She said that "the best she could do was to give as a container for us to take the food home". So far this place takes the #1 place in WORST RESTAURANTS in the whole DMV. Owners should reevaluate there mission and vision as a restaurant and work for it."

"This would be the second time visiting this particular location, but I have been to this restaurant chain before. The food, especially the pupusas are really good. The curtido, I’m sorry but I’m very particular, it’s ok. I like my curtido with onions and a but more flavor, this one has the cabbage and carrots, salt and pepper. As for the salsa, it’s also ok, I like more flavor too. Today was a weekday early dinner and it was practically empty so we got served quickly. Last time I was here it was a Sunday night, it was packed and we had a party of 12 and it took about 45 minutes to get our food and orders. I got the carne asada this time with two sides of salad (kept diet) and the kids the cheese pupusas with horchata. The horchata was on point! I could only drink a sip but it was really good. The carne asada, on the other hand, was flavorful, yes, but was really tough. I expected tender meat at some point but everything was like rubber. A bit disappointing but the only thing that saved it was the portion size, big enough to take some home and recook it myself. Overall, I will try this restaurant again and let you know if I recommend anything else off their menu. At this point I highly recommend their pupusas!"

"Great service and good food, but we waited almost an hour for our order of pupusas on a decidedly not-crowded night, and they arrived somewhat lukewarm. The horchata they offer is apparently a Salvadorean version, which differs greatly from the traditional; be aware that there are peanuts in the drink, but it is quite tasty. We got a mixture of rice and corn pupusas - personally, we found the corn ones to be better. Everything is super cheap and incredibly filling! Assuming the slow arrival of food is simply part of the learning curve for a new restaurant, we'll definitely be returning."
