This Place has the best pupusas I've tried in all of VA. It is always very hard to find a place with very good pupusas. The filling is amazing and a good amount as well, the salsa and Hispanic coleslaw that comes with it is amazing. The service here is a 10/10 and the place is just very ambient place. I definitely recommend this little place!:)

Has everything you need and a bit more. You could really get by doing all your grocery shopping here, though you might not want to because it is a tad pricey, but not more than average for most bodega/corner markets in DC (it's to be expected). They have a great selection of wine/beer, some fresh produce with the essentials. They have most basic food items like bread, milk, cereal, beans, rice, canned foods, etc and they even have cleaning supplies and basic household items. This place really came to the rescue a number of times when we needed sugar or some sort of spice for a recipe in a pinch!

I originally confused this store with one across the street and hate that I did. I LOVE this store. The people are always so kind and I always come here over the one across the street specifically for this reason. They have a great selection and are a great neighborhood market. PLUS their politeness in their response despite my mistake shows how nice they are!

The people that own and/or work here are SO NICE (as opposed to the folks running the store across the street.) We can usually find everything for which we are looking, from packaged hot cocoa to cilantro to seltzer to powdered wasabi. Some things are really overpriced, but thats too be expected in exchange for convenience.

They sell five packs of string cheese for $2.19 and magnum bottles of wine for about $12. This is a good place to go if you ever get locked out of your apartment all night and just want a five pack of string cheese and nearly 50 ounces of wine to get you through a rough night stranded on the streets of Capitol Hill, waiting for your landlord's office to open back up in the morning. I don't think they sell any weapons, but you can probably just get another five pack of string cheese and use that to barter for your life in the event that you come across a roving pack of violent hobos. Not that there are too many hobos on the hill these days, pretty sure the yuppies exterminated them some time back in 2004 or 2005. This is one of the few places I've seen on the Hill where cheeses are cheaper than an object that can be fashioned into a weapon. For you yuppies, they also sell quinoa by the box for about a hundred dollars. That's not going to help you if you're stranded in the streets all night, kind of hard to cook quinoa via trashcan fire. But hell, don't let me discourage you. I know how yuppies get angry when they can't have their ancient grains. Their selection of white wines is better than their selection of red. They also sell various produce essentials that appear to be rotting on the shelves. The broccoli was brown and looked weird. Not that you're going to buy broccoli for a homeless night in the streets, that would just be ridiculous.

Cool little market on the Hill. Typical but a cool wine and beer selection. Expensive as all convenience stores are.

This is an above average convenience store. Prices are about what you'd expect - not low but not extortion-level either. The beer selection is pretty solid so when all the liquor stores are closed on Sundays and you don't feel like schlepping all the way to Safeway or Harris Teeter you can get some pretty good stuff here!

This place is fantastic. The guys that run it are great, and they are always willing to chat. The first aisle has tons of wine, vegetables, cheeses, and meats, more than you would expect. There's a large selection of beer and frozen foods, as well as bread. You can find just about anything in there! They also have sales they announce on Twitter. To make it even better, there is a Capital Bikeshare station right out front!

Hands down, the best corner store on the Hill. PROS: The best prices overall - I pay a dollar or sometimes two less per item than at some other corner stores. The service - I love these people. They love their customers and aren't hesitant to show it. (It's a healthy level of love. They aren't licking faces or anything like that.) The selection - fantastic array of wine, food, domestic staples. They also go a step beyond - cage-free eggs available at a corner store? Where else does that happen?

This is a tiny little mini-market that carries a surprisingly decent selection of ... um, pretty much everything. With Tetris style snugness, they've got a lot of what you'd normally need to jump in the car for... a modest, but well-stocked fresh veggie section, and Glide dental floss - c'mon, you're not going to find winter-frickin'-green Glide at 7-Eleven! But the main reason I like this place is because of Joon and the rest of his uncommonly warm and friendly coworkers. If you walk your dog to the store, they give him a milkbone. This is why I give this place 5 stars.
