Our Story
La Casita Pupuseria & Market opened in 2002 on Piney Branch Road. Taking over the Chesapeake Crab House space we found our namesake and inspiration as La Casita loosely translates to “Little House”. Originally a Market with rows of products we have since evolved into a full-on Pupuseria. The area of Silver Spring/Takoma Park is known for its rich diversity, positive energy, and growing community.
Every day we intend to fulfill our mission to create a family environment and offer delicious quality food. We want to be your one-stop destination where you can get your favorite Pupusas, snacks, drinks and much more.
We serve our food in a homely atmosphere where you’ll always see a familiar face. We offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, catering and on-demand delivery.
Jaime M Arbaiza is President of Operations for La Casita Pupuseria. His hospitality background began at his parent's grocery store in Adams Morgan. His experience includes all facets of restaurant and foodservice. Jaime has a passion for creating a food experience for his community that is not only based on Salvadoran tradition but many aspects of world cuisine focusing on an affordable, fresh and high-quality product.
