El Salvador Restaurant 1910 West Irving Boulevard, Irving, TX 75061

"My family and I came to this restaurant to enjoy a good meal. However, when we got there we realize the buffet closes at four. That was our fault. We should’ve checked when it closed. That’s OK. When we got our food, a lot of us realized that it was either unseasoned or over seasoned. The waitress was extremely nice, and she had made the mistake of giving my sister the wrong order that was supposed to go to another table. This is our first time going to this restaurant and we didn’t know what each meal was supposed to look like so we didn’t realize it was the wrong order and my sister ate about half of it. Once the waitress another waiter (or manager, we don’t know) realized that my sister got the wrong order, he began to openly criticize the waitress in front of us, which made all of us uncomfortable. The waitress was very nice and apologized to us and said that she would pay for the wrong order and she would bring out my sister‘s original order. We felt bad so we gave the waitress enough money to cover the food; we basically paid for it so it didn’t come out of her paycheck. At this point we were already very uncomfortable, but my mom, who is sitting in view of the waiters and the kitchen, said that they were all staring at us and possibly talking about us. Eventually, we all finished our food, and when it came time for the bill, we realized that it was an excessive amount. We didn’t say anything but according to the amounts on the menu, the total would’ve only been about 130 for six people. However, the bill ended up being close to 180. We left the restaurant with a sour taste in our mouths, and are never going again. Horrible experience, but I ultimately just feel bad for the waitress."

"I went for their weekend lunch buffet and I honestly really liked it. It had all the typical Salvadoran plates. I really liked their pupusas and empanadas de plátano. What I didn’t like at all was their chile rellenos. It had a weird taste to me. It felt like my moms cooking, so for that reason I see myself going again."

"New place for me! Am outsider and stopping by looking for some breakfast and I found this awesome place in Irving Tx. I highly recommend if somebody else is looking for good Salvadorean food. If I have chance I’m coming back when I hace chance. Good food and service not less important that it’s great too."

"The atmosphere was not family friendly and it was dark even though it was daytime outside and the ac was not working. If you’re coming here just for the pupusas then think twice. I think they were OK but definitely not the best. My grandma loved them though haha. But the rest of the main dishes offered in the buffet were great. The curtido wasn’t good though and neither were the dessert options."

"I came here one time before and had pupusas but they weren't great at all. I gave it another try today, because my mother came back from a trip and she was craving a soup. I was craving salvadorean breakfast, to say that the breakfast was the worst I ever had it's an understatement. I literally paid extra for Sour cream, wanted huevos rancheros and arroz curtido and it tasted disgusting, didn't even touch the rice, the eggs had a smell on them. Very disappointed, never in my life would I come back here."
