"If you're not familiar with pupusas, they are a traditional dish from Central America, especially El Salvador, and they are truly delightful. Not everyone who sells them knows how to make them well, but these are exceptional. I also recommend trying their fried yucca (cassava root) alongside chicharrones (fried pork chunks), which are fantastic. The only downside is that I live four hours away; otherwise, this would be my go-to place whenever I crave pupusas!"

Stopped for cold drink outside. Lady was rude I guess her husband was helping her with customers. She was rude towards me fir some reason because her husband was friendly towards me. ?

The staff was very friendly, the food was truly authentic, and they took my order in English! This was a bonus for me since I absolutely love Central American cuisine, but my Spanish skills are lacking!

This place is the BOMB! Amazing comfort Central American food. If you are expecting this place to be your typical Mexican restaurant, is not. This amazing places offers home cooking. The best PUPUSAS in the whole RVA area. I come here almost weekly. Worth every penny

"I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but I have to say I was very disappointed in my dining experience at Adarra. It’s difficult to get a reservation there, so once I was able to, I had extremely high expectations. The drinks were excellent, so no complaints there. The food, however, was not. We ordered the toasted almonds, peppers, cheese plate, tuna belly, anchovy dish, tomato salad, and gnocchi. The almonds and peppers were good, although I have to say they were on the simpler side. The tuna belly made me think I was eating quality tuna from a can soaked in olive oil. That’s the best way I can describe it. It was a bit tough and on the dry side, and I didn’t finish it. I don’t usually eat anchovies since I’m not a fan of the typical fishy taste, but was assured that their version wasn’t fishy at all the way they prepare it. I ate a piece or two but couldn’t finish it. Soaking the anchovies in olive oil did not hide the fishy taste. Some people may like that fishy taste, but I definitely didn’t. The cheese plate was okay. The crackers weren’t anything special, and the amount of cheese was pretty minuscule. The tomato salad was actually the only thing I ordered that was delicious, and the only thing we actually finished. After being at the restaurant for almost two hours, the gnocchi had still not come out. We told our waitress we didn’t want it and decided to leave. I heard so many great things about Adarra and had such high hopes. But after such a disappointing meal that we paid over $200 for, we will not be returning."
