Pupuseria La Familiar Menu

Welcome to Pupuseria La Familiar, a vibrant Latin American eatery nestled in New Carrollton, MD. Since its inception in winter 2021, this charming restaurant has quickly become a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. The menu is a celebration of authentic Salvadoran flavors, featuring pupusas that are generously stuffed, such as the Revueltas with beans, cheese, and pork, and the Chipilín con Queso, a delightful blend of perennial legume leaf and cheese.

For main dishes, don’t miss the Carne Asada, marinated to perfection and accompanied by handmade tortillas, or the traditional Carne Deshilada, a comforting combination of pulled beef and rich sauces.
