Love this place!!! You HAVE to check it out! I found this place because I drove by and I could smell the food cooking on the road.. haha Tacos were amazing! Pupusas were literally out of this world! I believe they have three choices: cheese, bean and cheese, and beef and cheese. Got the bean and cheese one, highly recommend!!

Food truck located in a random parking lot across from the cemetery. Ordered the pupusas (cheese and possibly carnitas) and Carne asada platter. Carne asada very well seasoned with seasoned rice, black beans and flour tortillas. Pupusas were accompanied by pickled veggies and salsa. I was expecting more varieties of pupusas on their menu but the one they had was very delicious. There was a steady stream of customers midday in drizzling weather so that tells me how much they enjoy this food truck. Come find it and try!

El Chapin Taqueria y Pupuseria in Elkridge, MD, is a vibrant spot that brings authentic Salvadoran flavors right to your neighborhood. From the moment you catch a whiff of their cooking, you know you’re in for something special. Their pupusas—classic, hearty, and always satisfying—stand out as the must-try dish. With popular options like cheese, bean and cheese, and beef and cheese, these hand-crafted delights are tender and packed with rich fillings that melt in your mouth.

The tacos here are equally noteworthy, especially the meat varieties like the beef ribs and meat tacos, praised for their robust flavors and perfect seasoning. Pairing these with a refreshing tamarind drink creates a balanced meal that highlights the best of Salvadoran street food traditions.

While some customers mention that the curtido could be more generous and the tomato sauce less chunky, these small notes don’t overshadow the overall quality and warmth of the dishes. The service is friendly and the atmosphere inviting, making it easy to become a regular.
