Pupusas and Tamales de Elote
Looking for a Salvadorian restaurant that serve good pupusas and tamales de elote.
I remember going to Los Chorros years ago and the pupusas were good but can't remember if they had tamales de elote. My daughter and I love the tamale with crema so that is a must. We are staying in Pentagon City by the Fashion mall and have a car so any recommendation within 1/2 hour would be great. We would prefer a eat in restaurant that can accommodate a group of 8-12. TIA!

Love the pupusas at Abi Azteca restaurant http://www.abirestaurant.com/main.html.
That's where I first had a Tamal de Elote, also - very nice!
Added advantage: it's close to Pentagon City, and it's one of those wonderful little hole-in-the-wall places that serve the most authentic ethnic food at low prices. It's hidden behind a 7-11 on Columbia Pike.
Look for the collection of hats on the wall, from everywhere all over the world.

Irene's Pupusas III in Wheaton, MD. I've not had their tamales de elote, but Sietsema wrote favorably about them in a review of the place a couple of years ago. I have had the pupusas there however -- and they are fabulous.

Partner loves the Tamales de Elote but they vary on moistness. Crema is your friend if you get a drier one. The soups rock. I cannot decide between the "con todos" or the lorrocco" on the pupusas. The Honduran tacos are crispy tortillas filled with good chicken, covered with a purple slaw and sharp cheese. Eat in 20 seconds or they go soggy. The tongue tacos are fabulous, the others OK.
Friday the noise is skin singing loud and Saturday night makes Friday look like quiet time in kindergarten. Sunday through Thursday, it is not too loud at all.
