El Salvador Restaurant

"Really superb food!!!"

"We have been noticing that this new restaurant was open and have been wanting to check it out. The young lady who helped us and fixed our plates was very kind and helpful. She explained to us what the different dishes were and was patient as we took a few minutes to make our decisions. We got our plates to go and ate them at home. The food was incredibly delicious. We tried a few different things. We had a chile relleno, some sausage, beans and rice, among other things. Everything was out of this world delicious and I highly recommend this place to everyone."

"Not a fancy restaurant Just great authentic Salvadoran food"

"After being in the south for a few months and not being able to find a pupusería or Salvadorian food this place was a great find. The price is about the same as most restaurants that actually taste good $15-20. The portions are bigger than most restaurants that charge that same price. I had that moment from Ratatouille where the food critic has a flashback to his childhood happiness when he takes a bite. So I'm willing to spend the money every now and then for a taste of home."

"The place that was here previously I often visited, but this was my first visit to this new place. It's almost across the street from me so of course I want to support them. I finally made it by there and I'm torn. First off, if you don't speak Spanish be prepared to have to use hand signals and facial expressions lol. There was one lady that they rustled up from the back to speak with me when I had more complex questions than I could act out. Even then I'm not entirely sure any nuances were understood. No problem though, as I love an adventure and I need to brush up on my Spanish. Just be prepared... So the food situation, is that it is a 1 meat and 2 veggies kind of thing. Though, don't quote me on that because again, language barrier... It would help a lot if they had some signs in English that you could sort of follow through the process. They'd only have to come up with them one time. Also, definitely some labels on the food would be helpful, as I was trying to avoid any cow tongues. I went with chicken, as it seemed a pretty safe bet. The food was very good. I cannot complain about anything I ate that they cooked, in fact it was mouth watering. But don't go for the salad because it's literally just one of those lettuce and carrot mix things. Had I understood the process I probably would have went with the black beans instead. Also unless I'm missing something you get a drink out of the cooler. Everyone was pleasant enough, I wouldn't say friendly, and the facility was very clean. Now... about the price. The food was good enough for me to go back, the price, maybe not so much... For lunch for one person, and really not a lot of food (see my photo), I handed them over exactly $20. I hope they succeed but I'm not entirely sure that that's going to work. I get inflation, but basically I had two pieces of chicken leg and some rice, some bag salad, and a drink. Again, I cannot complain about the taste of the food it was really good! :)"
